"Went here on a Tuesday night as a group of 6. Immediately could tell the food was gonna be amazing. The service was fast and hospitable. We ordered a variety of foods including the green enchiladas, burritos, alambre, and parrilladas. Everything came out quickly and the presentation was exemplary. Truly a gem! Place is ran very well.. Clean, organized, and gives you that "at home" feeling. Can't wait to head back and try more stuff on the menu!"

"I like the fact this place is simple in its design and interior. The food however didn't blow me away. It was solid, don't get me wrong. Perhaps seafood isn't their strong point. The sauces are another matter. Wowza. Truly need to be bottled and sold separately because they are a huge bonus in this place. The interior is perfectly homey and welcoming. Nothing snooty about it which should allow for all locals to make this a go to. Might go back and get some of their chicken or meat plates so I can assess their true form. I look forward to seeing them grow and expand. Viva comida mexicana"

"A group of us went there the Monday after July 4th at 1 pm and the place was mostly empty when we arrived. We left at 4 pm and we were the only customers. I loved the Mexican street fries, the various toppings were refreshing and for myself I had the chicken quesadila with black beans and rice. It was very good. There is paid street parking ($4.50 for three hours), but since there are homes nearby look for the free parking first."

"I absolutely love Mi Lupita's. It's my favorite food in all of Red Bank, and it's super underpriced. Not only is it delicious, but the place is clean and the staff is very helpful and kind every single time I've ever been. It's BYOB and they have the cutest outdoor seating. We love going in the summer. I can't recommend this establishment enough."

"We went on a Saturday pass lunch time about 1:30pm. The service was a bit slow we waited for about 20mins till the food came. But the food was amazing. All the meats were tender and well done, chicken or steak. The steak tacos was rolls not hard shelled tacos and it was very tasty. Churros was hot and crunchy, not too sweet."

- Frances W.

"We had my husband's surprise 40th over the weekend at Mi Lupita's Kitchen and I could not recommend it enough! The service, ambiance, and food were all fantastic. Chris was a dream to work with and is so sweet, so thoughtful and so kind. He thought of every detail! Our guests had so much fun and the way they have the backyard decorated is simply awesome! 10/10 would recommend!!!"

"I had Mi Lupita's Kitchen cater for about 40 people for a party, and they were amazing! The food was super fresh and delicious -- everyone loved it. The guacamole was a huge hit, and our guests were eating all night long. Everything was so good, and the service was great too. Highly recommend them for any get-together or party!"
