I recently had the pleasure of dining at Loco Lupes, a fantastic Mexican restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the vibrant and cozy ambiance set the tone for an unforgettable experience.
The menu offered a delightful array of Mexican dishes, and I couldn’t resist starting with their homemade guacamole and salsa, which were bursting with fresh flavors. For my main course, I ordered the Quesobarria Tacos, and it was a true masterpiece. The combination of spices and ingredients created a symphony of flavors that danced on my taste buds.
What truly impressed me was the attentive and friendly staff. They provided excellent recommendations and ensured that my dining experience was top-notch. The margaritas were also exceptional and perfectly complemented the meal.
I can’t wait to return to Loco Lupes to explore more of their menu. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican cuisine served with a warm atmosphere and outstanding service, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. It’s a true gem in the world of Mexican dining.

Quesadilla
I had the pleasure of dining at Loco Lupe's in Tuscaloosa, AL, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a fantastic experience.
First off, I had the pleasure of being served by Trent, the bartender. Not only was he a friendly face, but he was also a local who had a wealth of knowledge about the city. He shared some fascinating historic anecdotes while mixing up the perfect margarita for me. Trent's recommendations truly added to the enjoyment of my visit to Tuscaloosa.
The owner of Loco Lupe's deserves a special shoutout. I was thoroughly impressed by his dedication and hard work. He was everywhere, from crafting drinks to running food orders and ensuring his team was performing at their best. It's clear that he takes pride in his establishment, and it shows in every aspect of the dining experience.
Location-wise, Loco Lupe's couldn't be better situated. Nestled in a brand-new area of town, it's conveniently close to some of the nicest hotels and boasts a beautiful waterfront view. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a meal or drinks while taking in the surroundings.
Speaking of drinks, the margarita I had was nothing short of excellent, and the shot of liquor I ordered was well priced. The menu offered a delicious variety of options, and I indulged in a quesadilla and enchilada. The salsa was incredibly tasty, and the green sauce added that extra zing to my meal.
In conclusion, Loco Lupe's is a hidden gem in Tuscaloosa that I wholeheartedly recommend. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this restaurant is a must-visit. The combination of friendly staff, fantastic drinks, delicious food, and a great location makes it a top-notch choice for any occasion. Don't miss out on the chance to experience the magic of Loco Lupe's for yourself!

Taco
I visited on 9/19/23 while in town for work. I hope I’m able to return again sometime soon! Peyton was my waitress and she was so friendly and efficient. The owner came around to speak and recommended the Birria tacos. Omg, they were so good!! Definitely some of the best tacos and margaritas I’ve ever had. They use fresh fruit and it makes a HUGE difference. I also ordered the chorizo dip. Everything was so good that I forgot to take pictures first. The only thing about my experience that gave me a slight pause was that there was a small dog inside the restaurant. However, he or she was very quiet and sweet. You hardly noticed. I highly recommend this place and have my fingers crossed that I’m able to return soon!

i have no clue, genuinely how this place can get by as a “mexican restaurant” this wasn’t even tex mex… the picture shown was the 17 dollars i spent on chicken and steak fajitas, where is the meat?? even with the small scraps i was given it was super chewy and the steak was not real steak, at all. also why did the meat only taste like taco seasoning..? the portions for the rice and beans was actually pitiful truly. also the service was not the best like it took so long to get the checks like i would not recommend again, maybe i ordered the meal that is affected by a store wide budget cut but it was genuinely $22.83 that i will never get back.

We had the carnitas quesadilla and the tamales! Everything was outstanding from our front door experience to the dining experience. The tamales are homemade daily in house. If you are looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant with unbelievable food, made to order guacamole and fresh squeezed margaritas, this is your go to place!
