Lupe's Taqueria

These are the best burritos in Madison. Every time I've come here, the food is consistently amazing and the service is just as good. The owners are a lovely couple who have always treated my wife and I with care and respect.

Overall, I'm impressed with the fresh Mexican flavors that Lupe's brings to the Middleton Hills neighborhood. I've twice ordered the carnitas burrito, once to dine in and once as a carryout. The quality of the pork is superb, bursting with flavor and impossibly succulent without being too greasy. While the burritos are slightly smaller than the version served by my current Mexican fave El Rancho on South Park St., the kitchen crew does not scrimp when the amount of meat they load into their burritos. My only complaint is that the fillings are often uneven applied, so some bites are all meat, others are only rice and beans (a minor quibble). For those with milder palettes, be forewarned that the pickled jalapenos are super spicy. All the staff members I've encounters are extremely personable - you can tell they enjoy what they do and their infectious enthusiasm rubs off on the customers. They've made the interior a min-shrine to Mexican wrestling, which is featured on the flat screen in the dining area and on the murals on the wall - very fun! There also are a number of outdoor tables to you can enjoy your meal al fresco. The brightly colored chairs and pictures on the walls along with the spirited Mexican music amplify the festive atmosphere of Lupe's. Lupe's features counter service, you select your fixings as you move down the line (much like Chipotle). Both times I visited, a long lines of prospective customers started to build due to the indecisiveness of those before them in line. Hopefully these delays will dissipate as customers before more familiar with the menu and the staff becomes more proficient at assembling the orders. With the recent addition of Lupe's and Pizza Brutta, Middleton Hills has assembled a terrific mix of restaurants to go along with Craftsman Table & Tap and Prairie Cafe).
