Lupe's Tamales — Restaurant in Sherman

If I could give our visit a 3 1/2 I would. It was our first time and some things I liked and others I didn’t. My husband liked his meal, it was a Pork Tamale 🫔 Plate with Chili and Eggs 🍳. He said he would give it a 4, he thought the tamales and chili were good. We both liked the beans, not my favorite, but by far not my least favorite. We both liked their Hot Sauce and would give it a solid 4, I really enjoyed eating it, it was pretty much my favorite thing. My husband liked their Green Salsa the most and would give that a 4 1/2.

I was disappointed in my tamale selection. We drove about 1 1/2 hours one way and I was looking forward to their Sweet Potato 🍠 Tamale, but did not have any available. I also asked for a Brisket Tamale 🫔, but they had none of those available either. I was told they had pork, chicken, and spinach tamales to choose from so I settled for a spinach one. I did not like it and gave the rest to my husband, the masa tasted like blueberries to me. 🤷‍♀️

I did get two breakfast tacos 🌮 and I liked the No. 4, Potatoe, Cheese 🧀 and Potatoes one. I would give them a 3, that tasted very average to me. I got a Spinach Breakfast Taco and did not like that at all, I’d probably give it a 1 1/2 or 2.

The waitress was pleasant and there were no problems there. I’m glad my husband enjoyed his plate and I really did enjoy...

If you have the palate of a 7 year old this might be the place for you. I ordered the "Supreme Nachos" with "beef" fajita. What I got was a plate of cold chips covered in canned cheese sauce. Your guess is as good as mine as to what part of the cow the "beef" came from. To be clear.... the "nachos" do not come with any cheese. We got a side of "queso" to start. You guessed it... canned cheese sauce. The rice had either gone bad or they used dish water to make it. The flour tacos were at best Mission brand tortillas and had no flavor. The service was just ok. If you are a fan of right wing propaganda they did have Fox "news" on. This is not Mexican food, and I would be too generous calling it Tex-Mex. Think ballpark...

I’m not sure if they’re just understaffed, but this was my first time to go to Lupe’s after the good things I’ve heard. We got there at 12:30 and it’s now 1:52 and we just left. We had to ask several times for more chips because we’d ordered a large guac, there were 4 of us and only one other customer in the whole place. Our server was very sweet, but she couldn’t remember orders. On the positive side, the food was good. The nachos that were ordered were not great. Not sure I would go back for dine in, I ordered tamales to go and I can’t wait...
