La Lupita Mexican Store and Restaurant - Lenoir City

The store is very clean, well lit, and easy to shop. The staff is very friendly. We enjoyed our lunch. We had the chicken chimichanga and the chicken Huarache. The food is delicious!

Really enjoyed this store and especially the quality laundromat next door. Extremely clean. Quality machines with affordable prices. Highly recommend

Authentic food. This is the real deal. Being from Texas where they have large grocery stores dedicated to the Hispanic culture and cooking, this store and restaurant is a true diamond in East Tennessee for anyone who cooks and enjoys this style of culinary eats. The portions were very plentiful for the price and you never be upset about handmand tortillas. Plus they provide you three different salsas, chopped onion, and cilantro. Everyone is friendly, Very nice store, and excellent customer service.

The food was amazing and seemed to be very authentic. Fairly certain the tortillas were homemade and freshly cooked. The restaurant is in a grocery store so there's not really a great atmosphere, but the food more than makes up for that. The service was great too, very friendly.

Great home like food, made from scratch...
Highly recommend rather than any other Latino restaurants

Truly authentic Mexican Supermarket/Diner experience. Al Pastor & Lengua are my favorites. Served all day by kind and promp professionals. Very Limited Tex Mex here. You can get Tacos Americano here, but I prefer the classic street tacos. Fresh lime wedges, onion, cilantro, tortilla chips, and various salsas, including verde, are server with every meal. I gave it five star for what it is. Not fancy, but classically authentic.

The Carniseria is on point. El pastor pro favor! You can find produce here that you can’t find anywhere else around. The market is authentic. The restaurant is top notch. Best food around Town. Last, the family that runs this are extremely nice and never rude. My favorite things are the Carniseria’s picante salsa, and the tomatillo’s in the produce section. the restaurant the Chilaquiles de Rez are phenomenal.

Excellent food, friendly and fast service. Enjoyed my carne asada burrito and Sidral Mundet Apple Soda.

I love shopping here. Beautiful produce all year around. The guys at the meat counter are really great. Best avocados and plantains around.

Really great food at the restaurant. Portions were big for the price as well.

These tacos are incredible! I wish I lived nearby so that I could eat these regularly 😍

I absolutely love this place! My friend introduced me to the Maryville location 9 years ago, and is my absolute favorite place to eat Mexican food! In the grocery side I buy meat and produce and occasionally some snacks. The staff is always very helpful and friendly! Such a great place to have close by!

Excellent I love this location more then the one on Maryville they are really kind and work out with us some tortillas something that the other location just make I big issue about great food and a lot of variety!!!

Go mexican food and you can not find good mexican food be this is dlishes

I met the owners of this place when I was in highschool because I ended up being friends with their son and they are really nice and seem to be really down to earth. Even if you don't speak Spanish, don't feel like you can't go and eat or shop at this place. I promise there will be somebody there that can speak English and they provide a comfortable atmosphere. Great food and great service.

I like la Lupita. They have good Mexican food. The real stuff not Taco Bell type food. They have a giant steak taco called the huarache, it runs about $10 or so but it's a meal in itself.

I've never shopped there for grocery items but they do have things that you won't get at a American store.

AUTHENTIC AND AMAZING Mexican food!

Don't let the aesthetics or outward appearances fool or hindrance you from dining here. Restaurant services can be found on the furthest right hand entrance of the building, and on the left-hand side within the store. The laundry mat is just a perk.. and the best laundry mat found within Tennessee if not everywhere.

The dining style and services might be something you aren't accustomed to normally experiencing. Don't expect fast dining services for a meal that is made with care and compassion. Everything is cooked fresh and per order which takes time, so have patience and this dining experience will quickly become a favorite that's worth any wait.

Please note, if you want something other than water to drink, they will direct you to the coolers of bottled beverages along the wall. Unless otherwise posted feel free to sit yourself and grab your preferred beverage before you pick a table. I suggest walking around and checking out what they have to offer, along with the wide variety of beverage choices, while waiting for your food. It creates a very unique experience in of itself and only adds to the dining experience.

Being an AUTHENTIC Mexican restaurant the servers and staff are likely to be of a Spanish heritage and/or fluent in the language. There might be a language gap, but just like a gap in a tooth it can be viewed as fun and quirky instead of as an issue. So it's ok if your native tongue is primarily or solely English, I assure you this won't hindrance your ability to order or interact with others.

I recommend the La Lupita special for the first visits dish. It includes flank steak, shrimp, pablano pepper, tortilla wraps, a cheese (want to say goat but uncertain and don't want to give misinformation, this exact information is located on the menu) rice, beans, and all the other toppings you could normally expect to find in a Mexican dish, but the dish still includes SO MUCH MORE! Essentially this dish includes a portion of all major proteins found on other dishes in the menu and all minor garnishes used to perfect those dishes.

The Hispanic culture is a beautiful one with beautiful people and even better food, this place embodies all of those qualities. You will get to enjoy seeing the deep respected ties found within family, a taste and look into what foods are offered, and first hand experience into the hard work and love put into growing a local business. A restaurant that gives perspective into what community should look and feel like, as well as perspective into the kind of compassion that should be put into cooking every meal you find in any restaurant.

It's hard for me to review this place objectively, we came as a family after my grandfather's funeral and the friendly staff and casual setting was exactly what we needed to escape our lives for awhile, we all came together over some seriously good food and we're closer for it.

La Lupita's is a cantina style restaurant and tienda in downtown Lenoir City, if you've never had authentic Mexican food it is miles from the restaurant faire and you're in for a treat, especially if your first experience is here. I highly recommend the lengua tacos, they're tender and delicious!

Really good food. I go out of my way to stop here any time I'm close by. I get pretty much the same thing every time, a torta de al pastor. The tacos are good too. My wife really liked the torta with carnitas. The kids like looking through the grocery store while they wait for food and seeing all the foods they are unfamiliar with.

Love this place & wish I lived closer. The tacos de lingua were soooo good from the restaurant (reminded me Of The SoCal boarder) the butcher was helpful, the tamales we had ordered in advance were delicious, store was very clean and staff helpful and nice.
