As a Lupe Tortilla.

It is a glorious day. I cannot wait to enjoy copious amounts of excellent fajitas and bacon-wrapped shrimp.

yaay mediocre Mexican food

That location is very close to Cyclone Anaya's. Will be tough competition. Cyclone's has in my opinion the best red salsa in town. However, Lupe's fajitas are second to none.

damnit, I was hoping for something new/original and we get more crappy chain mexican.

I've never fought the crowds to get into Cyclone Anayas, so Lupe's could have a shot. Pretty close to Cadilac bar too. They do well at the original because of the location and family friendliness. Wonder if their food is good enough to compete with 2 established places so close by, but there might be enough traffic to do it anyway.

Amazing to me that in about a 1 mile radius you'll have the following places: Cyclone Anaya's, Lupe, Cadillac Bar, Molina's, and El Tiempo. That's not even mentioning the 2 taco drive thru/taqueria places. Washington really needs restaurants... glad we're getting some variety.

Lupe doesn't seem to have a problem bringing in a crowd in any of their locations.

The question is...where are they going to put the sandbox?

there is too much mexican food in that area..


Molinas, Cyclones, Laredo Taqueria, El Tiempo, Cadillac Bar and I am sure I missing some


If it is a smaller one, they dont have sand boxes, the new Blalock one doesnt.

There's actually a nice patio there, they just didn't do anything with it. Of course, the only people in that neighborhood who have kids are more likely to be working in the kitchen than dining out.

Someone is bound to fail out of Cadillac Bar, Cyclones and now Lupe.

That three similar mexican restaurants that cater to the same crowd literally within a block of each other.

Cyclone's red salsa
El Tiempo's green sauce
Lupe's beef fajitas
El Patio's blue margaritas
Chuy's prices
Taco Milagro's eye candy

All in one place. That would be incredible.

They should do well if they got a good deal on their rent.

Lupe is more tex-mex than mexican.

They are going to need to find more parking for that location to work for them.

And I love their chunky salsa.

It's not a ton, but I think Shuck Daddy's had a portion of the parking next to Jax as well.

They'll probably have to do the valet thing like Cyclones either way.

What the **** do you think Cadillac Bar, Cyclone's, and Molina's all are. I'll give you a hint: the same thing.

Willie's Icehouse would be better.

I have to agree with Stimulus Package. Can't say I have a real desire to go to Cadillac Bar or Cyclone's. I am more of a Teo's fan myself.

Don't compare Molina's to Cyclone's.

Molina's is terrible.
ATM9000
How long do you want to ignore this user?
You've got to be kidding me, Molina's is delicious.

I laugh that peeps slap Pappasito's for being overpriced yet jerk Cyclone's off under the table with the other hand.

Whatever you do, dont goto the little mexican place next to el tiempo for anything other than breakfast.

Not sure why some of yall are getting into a hissy fit.

either like and will go or you don't

word on swamplot is that it will have an expanded bar and be open later than the other locations

I actually like Lupe better than the other two in the immediate area and it's a bit cheaper than El Tiempo down the road.

I'm sure it will do well.

I'll raise cane there any time. I'm not sure why highwayman cares about this location though.

I'm excited by this. There are enough people in the are to support 100 Tex-Mex places. Agreed on the salsa at Cyclones, but I've never loved the food, while the beef fajita's at Lupe are maybe the best ever.

Ray Guy, I've parked at that shuck daddys to walk to Cyclones so I am a bit familiar with the area

the best mexican food comes from hole in the walls anyway.

Bone6
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I consider hole in the wall/taqueria Mexican food and Tex Mex places like El Tiempo/Lupe/Cyclone's/etc. to be in separate categories of food.

Los Dos Amigos? It's good and cheap. I used to pick up there all the time until I saw on the news one day that they closed for the "Day Without an Immigrant" protest. That was a sucky way to learn that they no longer desired my patronage, but whatever. I moved on.
