Located in a new strip mall, La Lupita is very new and clean looking with interesting wall art. The staff is very friendly and solicitous. However, the food was not very good. (Maybe because it was a Sunday evening.) When evaluating Mexican food, the "gold standard" for my wife and myself is carnitas. My wife ordered the carnitas tacos and I ordered the carnitas super burrito. Unfortunately, the carnitas were dry and tasteless. Interestingly, on the wall were taped pieces of paper and a white board with East Indian food items listed. Apparently, there is an East Indian connection to this restaurant, but we could not find out due to the language issue. We will not return.
This little place has good food. They're fast, inexpensive and don't use MSG. It's not fancy gourmet food but it is yummy. Our favorite is their salt & pepper calamari & chow fun. Won ton soup is good too. Pretty good for the essential Chinese fare.

We went there as a group of 13 for lunch and we ordered quite a few dishes from the dinner menu including steamed fish, noodles with lobster, peking duck, claypot with lamb, etc. For appetizer we also ordered har gow (shrimp balls). The har gow was probably the worst har gow I had in the Bay Area. The skin was mushy and the shrimp inside came in small separate pieces instead of one whole shrimp. Avoid it at all cost! The dinner dishes were quite good and tasty. Service was typical of what one normally finds in a Chinese restaurant. So don't expect them to come and check on you. The restaurant owns a parking lot next to it and so parking was not a problem (unless the restaurant is really full). The place is not like a hole in the wall but the decor is nothing to write home about,

I went to the restaurant because my Chinese American cousin suggested the place ... the food was mediocre, the bathroom was SUPER disgusting bathroom, and WAAAAY too expensive. 4 of us had dim sum and it cost me $90. Ridiculous for the quality of food and the amount that I ate. I will never return.

Unassuming location interestingly tucked away as I found this place accidentally. There is parking (ADA access) yet get there before noon. My entrance to many folks enjoying seafood dishes and dim sum was greeted with a waiter seating me promptly. Clearly seeing I was new, a servier came by and explained their incredible menu. The food is excellent, the ample dim sum is delicious, and be choosy as there is LOTS to choose from. The serviers were so helpful when I pointed to unknown dim sum dishes. Upon leaving, thanked me for stopping by..and yes, I will be returning.
