"I recently came here for lunch with an old friend, and I loved how home-made everything tasted. I think the woman who waited on us may have been Lupita herself, because that 's how my friend referred to her. Take as much time as you need to decide, he had said, Lupita doesn 't care how long we sit here for. I ordered the beef flautas with beans and rice, while he ordered beef enchiladas, no beans or rice. It 's been a long time since I 've eaten beans or rice, he said, staring at my plate longingly. Oh my gosh, I eat beans and rice like, every single day, I shamelessly replied. I actually felt kind of bad for him, because the beans and rice were really good. Lupita 's cooking reminded me of the cooking of my best friend from high school 's mom. The flautas were perfectly golden and crispy on the outside, while the shredded beef filling was still juicy and tender. Aside from the beans and rice, the flautas were garnished with cream, guacamole, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. All of it was so good, I think I actually scraped my plate clean. For about $10 per person (before tax and tip), the prices were not bad at all. Between the fresh flavor, authentic ambiance, and stellar service, eating at Lupita 's was a great experience, and I would love to come back again."
