La Lupita Carniceria y Taqueria

The carnitas tacos are SO good. Nice soft tortillas with tasty pork. I got some tamales to go too. I will be back for sure.

Googled "best tacos" south of KC and, happily, ended up here. Ordered carnitas and asada tacos with rice and beans.

Taco meats were succulent and appropriately flavorful. The tortillas were wonderfully delicious and a perfect texture to hold abundant contents without tearing while eating. The cashier introduced four house salsas ranging in heat levels. I stuck with the verde sauce: so good! Thankfully, they provided several lime wedges for that bright juicy flare with the verde over all tacos.

I enjoyed the consistency of the beans. The rice was aromatic, light and fluffy as I prefer.

I tried to pay after dining but not before stocking up on huge gorgeous Mexican mangos and an exciting variety of Tropicana (local) popsicles: pistachio, coconut, watermelon, chili mango, cantaloupe, and strawberry to take home for family.

Service was pleasant.
Excited to visit again.

This place is a hidden gem. They food is amazing.

I really think some of the food here is great. However, other items are hit or miss. The quesadillas are wonderful as is the breakfast. The tamales were great the first time, but the last time I ordered them they had a weird aftertaste that actually prevented me from eating them. As you can see from the photo, the guac and sour cream that comes with the food is so tiny that it's not nearly enough for the mall. My first trip was a short order and all correct. The last time I order a lot of food and they forgot my burrito, which they did charge me for. I didn't realize it because they wrap items together sometimes. Since there's no itemized receipt, I couldn't go back and navigate a language I don't speak well enough to get my $7 burrito. So while I love supporting local businesses, this place is spotty enough that I will continue to frequent the Corner in Grandview instead.

Slice of heaven as always. The new look is amazing! The food as always, hits the spot.
