Oh man, what a flashback. Back in the '70's I was stationed in ELA for 4 years. The food there from the small 'Mom and Pop' restaurants was sooo good. Till this day I remember the great Mexican food I ate there.
Been going to Luge's since the early 80s, and it's still my favorite down-home Mexican fast food. This brother can really put it away, I'm too old now to be able to eat that way, lol.
There's an original lupes in Whittier area... my grandfather took my aunts and uncle's when they were little kids... my grandfather kept the tradition going with his grandkids... my mom takes us to lupes to remember our grandfather .... they use to live 2 blocks away from lupes when they were little kids... best tacos and burritos...wish they took pictures of the neighborhood as the years passes.... ty for sharing with all our us ...
From my understanding the one in Pico Rivera, off Beverly is family of the one in east la. At some point they had a falling out and lupes #2 was created.
I grew up right around the block Lupe's. I remember the original crew. It seems to be renovated because there was only counter seating back in the day. Delicious food. I'll have to make a trip soon. Thank you for bringing back great memories. ❤
David, I wish your channel nothing but the best! I see you investing in that camera and editing. You’re gonna reach 100k subscribers before you know it!
Nice video bro. I'm from the westside of the 110 fwy, over in the Crenshaw District, and I rarely make it out to East LA. But I hear Lupe calling my name.
@@DavidEatsLA Woody's BBQ, 1958 W Florence Ave. I get the rib tips or beef ribs; Jack's Family Kitchen, 3965 S Western Ave. Great breakfast, get some biscuits; Pasta Roma, 2827 S Figueroa St. Great Italian food in a very laid back atmosphere. Everything I've had there is good.
I used to hit Lupe's for lunch quite bit back in the mid 90's for lunch if I was in the area. Glad to hear that they are doing great now. Yeah, that roja salsa....Not for the faint hearted. 😅
I can't believe that I have never been to Lupe's and I've lived in So Cal my entire life. My family and I been frequently going to LA since I was a kid but Lupe's is one of the places our parents never took us to. Honestly I'm surprised even my dad never took us cause he grew up in Huntington Park and Boyle Heights.
There’s a place in South Central has 🔥🔥🔥 Burritos also my Jefito used to take me there when I used to come visit him on the weekends. It’s called EL Mexicano AKA (Taco Mamas) on hooper and Vernon Ave. It’s a Hole in the wall, or should I say corner. Green Chili Chunky cheesy beef burrito. Order it with just meat, potato’s, & cheese. I guarantee you won’t regret it👍🏽 also Al & Beas used to be one of my Fav’s also the bean & cheese👌🏾
Bro, thx for this video! I'm always on the hunt for some legit Mexican food in LA! I've lived in the LA-area for almost 60 years and haven't heard of Lupe's. My mouth was watering and my stomach growling as you were chowing down!!! Next stop: Lupe's!!! Subbed!
Messy is good,says you got a meal on hand,subscribed,enjoy my mexican food,not good in north carolina but I also watch PISUAREZ in mexico doing street stands and did live in AZ for 4 years,they had authentic food.
First off, great first name you have! Now you make me want to take a 400 mile round trip down to my old stomping grounds to hook up some serious comida!
i didnt know about this place. im headed tommorow . i miss a good green chili combo and a great bean and cheese . since gardunos went out of buisness in montebello., thnax again. im on a budget but im adding these 2 burritoes to my new budget .
That torta looks like the bomb. My fave is milanesa from El Compita on Salida a Celeya. They’ve also got great juices, smoothies, and aguas. Local favorites are the Vampiro, the San Migueliense, but I like the simple naranja/betebel/zanahoria blend. You know, the don’t really have burritos down here like we do in California. Not big burritos. I’m starting to think maybe the burritos we know and love are a migrant farmworker thing.
Is Manny’s El Loco open at any location. I heard the last one in West Covina closed. I like Carnitas and Carne Asada burritos. This Lupe’s has too much cheese. Not a cheese fan. Pepe’s is probably my favorite right now and El Tepeyac.
Never been a Torta guy. Love me a cold or hot sandwich. But for some reason I haven’t found a torta I crave. I think bean and cheese burritos are a Boyle Heights/ELA thing, I didn’t even know that was a thing. I guess I’ll have to give both these a try at Lupe’s. Thx
bean and cheese and this style food is definitely an ELA/Boyle Heights Chicano food that generations grew up with - check out my That’s Good Episode on Burritos
@@DavidEatsLA Actually I've already made my goal weight, I just chose October 25 because it's my mom's birthday and I want to celebrate my weight loss with her birthday! I wanted to lose 40lbs but I actually lost 50lb! 😁
I was not happy with the taco's and taquitos both sat for 25 minutes while they prepped food.But the beans and cheese and chile reyeno burritos were on point.

One of the best things about LA is all the amazing Mexican food!!!

I couldn't begin to count the Lupe's taquitos I've eaten over the years. Everything is incredible there, but I was hooked on those taquitos.
I just had supper but man oh man. After watching this, I could definitely go for one of those burritos!
Darn. I am in Colorado.
Bro you are making me so hungry looks amazing ! Mexican food is some of the best on the planet period !
Their food is 🔥🔥🔥
I'm getting hungry just watching!
The Orange Bang!¡!
Classic
Ahhh😂 Yeah😅😊❤❤❤
I been there.. 80s....i wonder do you remember Gardunos? 😮
@@champfromla6162 I used to go to the one in El Monte for Monday Night Football specials !
Of course in Montebello by the high school
Gardunos on Garfield in Montebello?
That's where I first had a Green Chili burrito in 1973. They were great then.
@@champfromla6162 it used to be in Montebello on Whittier in the 80's
Mexican food is one of my favorite's!
I was at Union Station and I saw a couple with a huge box of food from Lupe’s They were going to the LA dodger game, and took the train!
Sweet. Yes, you can get to Union Station via the Metro and then take the free shuttle to the stadium. Smart.
@@mrxman581 Yep, hella smart.
i’ve done the same!
Great story
@@DavidEatsLA you gotta do half and half orange bang and horchata it’s bomb mixed together every time at Lupe’s and Mario’s taco in pico
Fué donde llegué a vivir cuando me trajo mi madre de México y recuerdo que siempre íbamos con Doña Lupe hace 30 años saludos
Born and raised in ELA ..I've passed by Lupes daily but I've never stopped there to eat..
Lifes a risk carnal
You didn't miss anything. Place sucks.
Great job Dave; makes me want to fly from Austin, Texas, to eat at Lupes!

California burrito is my favorite.

This food looks so delicious, I need to head down to LA. I live in San Diego it's a 💯 percent must try.. 👊

You have convinced me to drive from Torrance to try this. Good review.
I love these small Mexican joints
Been gone 20+ years and I still miss all the Mexican food joints in socal ...👍 ain't found any place like it .
SOLID review. Lupes is legendary.
Their four tortillas are amazing and have a flour/dough feel to them
thank you!
Thanks brother! I will be driving up from San Clemente soon
Looks like a trip to Lupe's in ELA is in order...ive never seen tortas, tacos and burritos and taquitos look so damn delicious...
Mucho gracias😊
I used to hit Lupe's for lunch quite bit back in the mid 90's for lunch if I was in the area.
Glad to hear that they are doing great now.
Yeah, that roja salsa....Not for the faint hearted. 😅
I love the burritos 😋 from there it's been a while I'll be sure to stop by with my babies soon The best burritos 🌯🌯🌯
Lupe’s is the best. Been a customer for over 25 years. My parents loved this. Best guacamole fries.
🙌🏽
I can't believe that I have never been to Lupe's and I've lived in So Cal my entire life. My family and I been frequently going to LA since I was a kid but Lupe's is one of the places our parents never took us to.

I'm Scottish, but Mexican food it's my thing.. awesome.
Don’t go to Lupe’s it’s fake Mexican food..
The best Mexican food is made by my grandma... Its so easy to make.
Lupe’s is definitely the best. El Tepeyac and Al&be’s at one time were good. Can’t compete with Lupe’s anymore
I agree after the old man died it wasn't the same. Al & bs isn't the same and the staff is rude.
Love Mexican food 👍👍👍👌👌👌. I'm Michigan need to take flight ✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️.
That place takes forever to get your food but I must say it’s worth it 😊
Damn that looks good😋
Dodgertown=Taquitos
Padrecitos=Rolled Tacos
You also have Cielito Lindo in Olvera Street for taquitos with that amazing guacamole sauce.
Thank you for sharing this. Im going there, soon
Hope you enjoy it!
Good meeting that day brother. Keep up the dope videos. 💥💥
Appreciate it nice meeting you!
I love visiting Los Angeles

@@Big_Stef dam. ok I never heard of it .. i’ll check it out thanks!
I live in Riverside and go there at least once a week. The chile relleno burrito is the best. Salsa Roja a must .

Love that spot! 👍🏼😎
That food looks good, but I'm loving that green C10 in the background!

First off, great first name you have! Now you make me want to take a 400 mile round trip down to my old stomping grounds to hook up some serious comida!
I'm used to going to Al & Bea's on 1st, but I'm definitely going to have to give Lupe's a shot
Al & Beas is great too! Definitely give it a try
Orange bang and green burrito was my go to at Lupe’s 12 different kind of burritos in the early 80’s.
🙌🏽
Not to far from where I used to live. Grew up in east Los Angeles. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Cool review and great video.
- mango
thank you!
Those tacos look so good !!!!
East Los forever
The food looks so good.
i didnt know about this place. im headed tommorow . i miss a good green chili combo and a great bean and cheese . since gardunos went out of buisness in montebello., thnax again. im on a budget but im adding these 2 burritoes to my new budget .
Yo, great video. Going to Lupe’s soon all the way from the valley now that I know the E line is close by. Good lookin out.
Those hard shell ground beef tacos r 🔥🔥🔥

My go to is the chile verde burrito from Lupe’s 🔥🔥🔥
so good!
Between Lupes & Manny’s El Loco I’d go for Manny’s El Loco. The home of The original
Chile Relleno Burrito, meat of your choice.
Is Manny’s El Loco open at any location. I heard the last one in West Covina closed.
I like Carnitas and Carne Asada burritos. This Lupe’s has too much cheese. Not a cheese fan.
Pepe’s is probably my favorite right now and El Tepeyac.
@ Let me ask my Hoomie that works for Orange Bang, we used to deliver to them.
Lupe’s is Awesome ! 😎
I miss this joint I used to work near there 🔥🔥
Looks good to me 😊
This video has convinced me … definitely hitting it next time I have the chance with the fam … thanks for the review
definitely! Let me know what you think
I just subscribed. Have you done the Mexicatessen in Monterey Park? They have great burritos. Try the chili verde if you like the heat.
The torta looks yummy, I’m jealous you ate that
Bro has crazy eyes. Great looking food. Great review.
It's Good been going for years
Back in the 70s & 80s I preferred Manny's El Loco over Lupe's.
I eat there least once a week since i work in ela. Subbed looking fwd to ur reviews.✌🏽
i cant wait to take the train there
Lupe’s the best!!
D.E.P. Trini. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Mednik y Arizona en el este de los angeles
lupe’s is delicious 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 always hits! pastrami fries with avocado and cheese!
the best!
@@DavidEatsLA yes ..your voice is great now 😂😂😂😂🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🤜🏼🤜🏼
The salsa can never be too hot, everything looks Bomb!!

My diet ends October 25, what I'm craving the most is a burrito... and a donut.
do it!! make that weight and enjoy 💪🏽
@@DavidEatsLA Actually I've already made my goal weight, I just chose October 25 because it's my mom's birthday and I want to celebrate my weight loss with her birthday! I wanted to lose 40lbs but I actually lost 50lb! 😁
Come here often but damn they take long to make the food .
Great place I've been going to forever
Can you go to carrillos in San Fernando?
hell yeah used to eat the chicharon bruito since i was a kid im 54 now
Looks good, bro.
I still miss Manny’s El Loco on Atlantic in Monterey Park 😢
Tortas are always under rated.
😋😋😋💯
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a menu without prices on it 😳
Thank you bro. I will try this today for the first time
yes! so many great things here
