Fantastic is all I can say. They've been in business for over 30 years and you can taste the authenticity in their food! This is New Mexican style cuisine and it is absolutely delicious! The ambiance was great (sat on the patio) and my server, Michelle, was delightful. She kept me very entertained as I dined alone that day (I was on a business trip). I ordered the sopapilla with carne asada and I was not disappointed lol! I am hoping to come again before my trip concludes. If not, on the next one! Great job to the team here!

This is a tale of two restaurants. One with authentic New Mexico mexican recipes and the other with awful service. Went back recently and service improved a little. Here's hoping that's a trend line up.

Located in Old Town, Frank and Lupe's Old Mexico restaurant offers down to earth family staples. The interior is rustic cute and the patio, at a peak, looked fun and inviting. We started chips and salsa and the nachos (it was half priced at Happy Hour). Good portion size for the nachos and I loved the amount of cheese, sour cream and guacamole offered. So happy with the nachos. My friend and I both had the Combination Plate ($17.00): Tamale, rolled enchilada, taco, rice, beans and 2 sopaipillas. Our lunch was tasty and not salty. Really enjoyed the tamale. My friend added the Chile Relleno for an additional $3.00 and it was well worth it. Our other friend had the soft chicken taco platter and said it was delicious.They had a few parking spaces on site but we parked our car on the street which is free for 3 hours.

We needed some food after a wine tasting at Salvatore Vineyards and Amari recommended Frank and Lupe s Mexican restaurant. We walked two short blocks down this beautiful artsy area of Scottsdale Arizona. It was a Monday night and the place was almost empty but that changed quickly. By time we left the place was packed. Our drink order was taken right away but we sadly passed on margaritas this evening due to the wine tasting. We were brought chips and a spicy salsa. I ordered #1 which included a taco, cheese enchilada and a tamale with beans and rice. The food was very good but the red sauce was too picate for me. My dinner companion ordered #8 which was a chicken enchilada with green avocado sauce which was not spicy also served with rice and beans The #1 also came with sopes for dessert. We really enjoyed the meal and due to the crowd I'm sure the other items are just as delicious.

The place was honestly the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten. Everything was painfully bland and was severely lacking any seasoning. There was no salt on the chips, the salsa was like tomato water, and the guacamole was basically just a mashed up avocado. The only plus side of this place was that the staff was friendly.

Really a 2.5Happy Hour menu: margaritas yummy and strong, ceviche very good packed with shrimp and large portion, mini taquitos: beef flavorful but chicken dry and flavorless, nachos were acceptable but meatless. Unfortunately the carne as asada in the burrito and tacos was subpar lacking any flavor. Huge disappointment in a Mexican restaurant. The price tag on this did not match the poor quality. Very cute outdoor seating and fun vibe. I cannot recommend unless you are just coming for drinks and appetizers. ~EG Eats

Came here last night and service was somewhat slow but they get a little leeway since we had a large table. The chips and salsa was quite good and my chile relleno was good although it wasn't entirely what I expected.Where things really fell apart was with the check. They added a gratuity of 30%. My friend, whose birthday we were celebrating and formerly a server, flipped out and made them change it. She also notified the other large table in our group to have them change it as well. We were not loud, we were not demanding and we did not burden our server with extra effort aside from having to serve more people. Evaluating the service as it was, a 10-15% tip would have been appropriate even though I generally tip 20% no matter what. 30% is outrageous and I have dined in Old Town with large groups before and have never ever been charged that much.

Wow the food was excellent. The customer service was very good. Loved everything about it. I think if you are looking for some authentic amazing Mexican food then come here it's amazing. The decor in the place was authentic as well. Overall a A+

I feel bad for the family that has run this restaurant for generations. The food could be good if they served it hot. But the service was so bad it was like they tried to do everything possible to screw up. Big party auto gratuity so why actually make the experience good even if it's a $500 plus bill?I asked my wife why we never eat there because I love Mexican food and cantina theme places. The. I found her one star review from three years ago and I remembered the complete incompetence that dayWhen you ask to talk to the manager you realize that he is serving tables and part of the problem Shame that a legacy like this is so terrible but then again it takes work to have three stars on YelpPlease do not support this place they don't deserve your money
