Tamales Lupe’s

Well I hate giving places bad reviews or making complaints but here I go. First off we ordered queso and it was pretty expensive so I expected to be really good. When we got it it was bright yellow and you could tell it was just the cheap nacho cheese from a can I also could tell by the taste. I ordered enchiladas and asked for sour cream sauce. The waitress said well we don’t have it. She said that they have this other type of sauce that’s kind of like it and that its so good that she dips her chips in it. So I trusted her judgement because she was a good waitress and was very sweet. Well this amazing sauce that was supposedly like a sour cream sauce was just cream of chicken soup. I could tell by the cheap salty pieces of chicken in it. I will never spend money here again.

Tamales to-​go. The only way I can ever seem to get to eat them. Great taste, lady at the front is very polite. Recommend tamales to everyone from there. Only complaint is the amount of money I pay for 12 – 18 tamales and they always short me on sauce. $ 17 for a dozen tamales and I only got two sauces. Don’t forget to ask for extra.

Olé’ what a find in Sherman, Texas!
Lupe’s World Famous Tamales are worldly tasty. We tried the specialty plate; smoked pork, spinach and tamale all with the perfect balance of masa to filling. You will have room for chips and some very tasty salsa. These tamales are gluten free also! One more thing… there is a full menu and the chile relleno was rich and well prepared.
We had the owner John serve us which really spiced up the evening. Gracias

Tamales are good, some of the best I have had but the service gets a D-​. I dont know if they are under paying their staff or what but all the employees act like they don’t wanna be there and you are a big inconvenience to them. They usually close early on weekdays so make sure and call before you go because they have short hours.

Good eat in menu, but get a few to take home. Try the asparagus tamales. I have never been disappointed with anything I have tried.

Love this place! Their tamales are amazing as well as their sauces. Service is always pleasant. If your craving tamales this is the place to come. A little hard to find if your not from here but well worth it when you do. Parking is limited. I will complain it takes a long time to get an order to go. I just ordered a couple dozen of tamales to go. It took over 20 minutes. All they had to do was put them in a bag… They are still delish!

The food is delicious and the owner is a sweetheart but the wait staff act annoyed to be there. Makes the dining-​in experience sort of uncomfortable.

Been coming here for years. Always enjoy a good conversation with the owner, John. Food has always been consistent. Tamales are always great. Here lately food is served tepid. Even when you ask the waitress to be sure the food is served hot it comes out luke warm. Been to a lot of Mexican restaurants and have never seen a waitress be able to carry three plates with no protection from the heat of the plates. Also, don’t get your hopes up for rellenos. Although they are good, don’t get your hopes up as they have been out of them the last two times we have been there. Amazes me how you can be out of standard items on the menu. Once, ok. Two in a row, no excuse. Take it off the menu if you are not gonna have continually. Cold food and out of stock menu items cause me to think this is my last time here.

Best tamales ever. Place was packed today. Always good food and great service. I had their jalapeño pork tamales today. I get them topped with chili con carne. The brisket tamales are the best but they were out today. Wife raves about their soup. She loves it on a cold day. They do close early at 6pm on Saturday. Worth the trip if you are passing through Sherman.

I really like this place. It’s in a cute, historic building in downtown. The lady who waited on me was busy but very nice and efficient. I ordered the chicken tamale plate and enjoyed the deep, rich flavor of the dark red salsa while I waited. It was really good and the chips were fresh. I also ordered a Jalepeno Popper to go with my meal. The plate looked so good, as you can see in the picture. The Popper was one of the best I’ve ever had, definitely home made. The tamales were also excellent and the beans were outstanding, thick with lots of whole beans. It’s really cute on the inside, kind of a «shabby chic» look. I really like finding and supporting these small town, home owned restaurants.

I used to stop in at Lupe’s all the time for fish tacos and chips and salsa. It’s really delicious, simple Mexican food or an okay price. A lot of other people seem to stop by there on their lunch breaks, so it’s a good place to meet new people. I’ve had interesting conversations with people from all walks of life in there, which is refreshing on a lunch break when you want to get away from whatever was going on at work.
The food is good. I wouldn’t say it was out of this world, but I really did like it. The service is friendly. The décor is not bad. This is a great place to visit if you work downtown, or if you’re looking for something new.

My husband and I love eating at Lupe’s. We started out getting tamales, then started coming for breakfast, and now we dine there at any time of day because the menu has proved to be delicious.
They have new spinach tamales that are DELICIOUS (I prefer them mild, but you can get them spicy), and their chile rellenos are pretty good, too. I don’t care much for their rice or their beans. It’s actually cheaper for me to order enchiladas a la carte and I get three instead of the two included in the enchilada plate.
I wish their prices were a little lower. It’s good food but make the side dishes amazing before you charge so much for a platter. Overall, a great choice if you don’t want plain old Tex-​Mex and prefer more authentic Mexican food.

Lupe’s has decent, commercial «Mexican» food. My husband really likes their tamales!
