Every time I go here, the food is always great. I usually order some kind of taco meal or the elotes. All the times I've gone the food has been fresh has tasted great. Once time I even did a takeout order and the food was ready to go so good way I'm glad that so far away from my house because I would eat them all the time.

This is a cute restaurant especially for Sanford. The outdoors is great with a play area for kids and a few tables. The inside is huge but could fit many more tables. Also I don't know what is up with the bare unfinished concrete floors. That throws off the entire place that's well painted and decorated. There is also a kids play area inside. The bathrooms weren't bad. There was a weird smell inside the restaurant. I couldn't eat inside because of the smell. I think I seen an air purifier so at least they're aware of it being smelly. The food took a while due to the weekend lunch rush. The chips and queso were delicious. It was a different type of chip and thick. My shrimp tacos were good. However, my husband and kids didn't love their chicken tacos, beef tacos and birria.

As soon as you walk in you're greeted by fun music, a stunning atmosphere and great smells! You order your food at the front before sitting down. The staff was very nice and helpful. I ordered the Birria ramen. This was the second time I've tried it and it did not disappoint. If you're looking for traditional food then order something else as this is a little non traditional but still amazing to me as a noodle lover. I hear the tacos are wonderful which I will try the next time.P.S. - Look how hot that food is

Oh my gosh! Such a cute place in a random strip mall.There's two counters - one for food and the other for drinks. Plenty of seating options from high table, bar, to booths. It's not a regular Mexican joint. Totally recommend the birria plate and to try a drink. Those drinks are SO pretty.

Ten stars! I saw a post about this place in Stanford on social media and immediately saved it on my maps app for a time when I'd be in the area. That time was today. Amazing. Delicious! Tasty! Exceeded expectations! Friendly service! Unique interior! Bar! If you are in the area I highly recommend checking out Fonda Lupita. I will be back.

I frequent this spot often, and am never disappointed. The food, decor, service and atmosphere are always incredible. The food is always flavorful, and I'm especially grateful for the many vegetarian options. The Margaritas and other cocktails are not only beautiful, but delicious. A must have in the Sanford area.

Sanford, N.C., is probably the last place you'd expect to find world-class Mexican food, but a visit to Fonda Lupita will quickly absolve you of that bias. An inauspicious, but spacious, hole-in-the-wall in a dated strip mall, this casual eatery wouldn't warrant a second glance were it not for the national acclaim it deservedly earned from a national foodie website. Dropping in for lunch a few weeks back to see what all the fuss was about, I was blown away by the flavorful and fresh Quesabirria, which necessitated a second visit to try the delicious Shredded Chicken and Steak Gorditas, which paired nicely with a fabulous, oversized, margarita. Everything about Fonda Lupita is perfect, from the friendly and helpful counter service to the crisp and tasty chips & salsa. Just soak in the low-key, self-serve atmosphere and prepare yourself for one of the best Mexican meals you're ever likely to have. Yes -- all in the quiet Raleigh suburb of Sanford, North Carolina.

We came on a Friday night & beat the major rush of people. I love there's a play area for kids in the back. I ordered some tacos & they were good. The margarita went down very quickly & it was strong. We got chips & queso for an appetizer. The chips almost tasted burnt & too thick. I guess we're used to thin chips so it was a different taste than we were expecting. Overall, a good place with a laid back vibe.

I absolutely love this place. From the weird food for sale in the food line to the weird kids play room and awkward open space with only a couple of tables...the food is legit, the beers are cold and the margaritas are pretty. Sit at the bar for some extra entertainment.
