Best Burritos in Los Angeles Pt.1! Lupe's in East Los Angeles

[@dustystarr2297]

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

[@redwolf8539]

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.

[@bradleymorehouse7462]

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.

[@177kimo]

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.

[@DESTINYFPV]

Bro you are making me so hungry looks amazing ! Mexican food is some of the best on the planet period !

[@ipaulosan]

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.

[@skyeblue5669]

Born and raised in ELA ..I've passed by Lupes daily but I've never stopped there to eat..

[@alibagheri404]

Lifes a risk carnal

[@YA-46and2]

Coworkers and I eat here all the time. California burrito is my favorite.

[@suziemacias6120]

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

[@Lawomenshoops]

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!

[@mrxman581]

Sweet. Yes, you can get to Union Station via the Metro and then take the free shuttle to the stadium. Smart.

[@vision-gc4hy]

Gardunos on Garfield in Montebello?

That's where I first had a Green Chili burrito in 1973. They were great then.

Great job Dave; makes me want to fly from Austin, Texas, to eat at Lupes!

Thanks for the update I'm going to go check that place out 👍

[@ChosenOne6666]

The best Mexican food is made by my grandma... Its so easy to make.

[@mojojojo4920]

Their food is 🔥🔥🔥

[@DavidTucker-e2j]

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. 😅

[@tommystix87]

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.

[@tommyb7973]

I'd totally stop there. Thanks for the info!

[@marcellino1956]

dude you made me so hungry.........lol

[@AspenVonFluffer]

Thanks brother! I will be driving up from San Clemente soon

[@GT1Vette]

Back in the 70s & 80s I preferred Manny's El Loco over Lupe's.

[@TEE2323]

Food looks delicious...Great review

[@DavidEatsLA]

thank you!

[@monavamp8642]

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. ❤

[@matthewadams8583]

You have convinced me to drive from Torrance to try this. Good review.

[@davidboyce8683]

I'm Scottish, but Mexican food it's my thing.. awesome.

[@miguelgaleana1]

Don’t go to Lupe’s it’s fake Mexican food..

[@Russell-x8w]

Thank you for this. Excellent.

[@DavidEatsLA]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@chokob13lls]

Lupe’s is definitely the best. El Tepeyac and Al&be’s at one time were good. Can’t compete with Lupe’s anymore

[@bonou21941]

I agree after the old man died it wasn't the same. Al & bs isn't the same and the staff is rude.

[@yvettevasquez1722]

Lupe’s is the best. Been a customer for over 25 years. My parents loved this. Best guacamole fries.

[@DavidEatsLA]

🙌🏽

[@robcali4396]

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 ...

[@bonou21941]

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 just subscribed. Have you done the Mexicatessen in Monterey Park? They have great burritos. Try the chili verde if you like the heat.

[@Aztec73]

Damn that looks good😋

[@josephshulman6666]

Those tacos look so good !!!!

[@PacoDelRancho-p5e]

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.

[@f430ferrari5]

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.

[@PacoDelRancho-p5e]

@ Let me ask my Hoomie that works for Orange Bang, we used to deliver to them.

[@MarcosElMalo2]

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.

[@RichardChouinard-lg2jm]

Looks good to me 😊

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

[@DavidEatsLA]

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
