Lupita's Tacos were incredible - I've received positive feedback from attendees! The food was great! I really appreciated the pre-packaging, it made everything go by so smoothly and the line was never too long. And communication up to the event was great. My one suggestion would be to label the pre-packaging so people know what type of meat is inside the burritos/tacos, instead of having to open each container. But other than that, amazing! Will definitely keep them in mind for future events :)

On behalf of the Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, I wanted to thank you for being a part of our Summer Picnic. The food truck was a huge hit with our staff—people really enjoyed the quality of the food, the service, and the overall experience. Your team was punctual, well-organized, and very professional throughout the event. The ordering process moved smoothly, and we received great feedback from attendees about both the food and the friendliness of your staff. We truly appreciate your partnership and would absolutely consider working with you again for future events. Thank you again for helping make our event a success!

Not them but I think there is something wrong with the website. It tries to text me when I'm placing my order but can't so then I have to do email. Yesterday and today. Today I got 10+ texts.

They add herbs to the pizza. Love the thin crust and the right proportions of sauce and cheese to crust.

I had the jerk chicken tacos. The chicken and jerk seasoning was delicious. But a mango based pico or something more Caribbean would make it amazing. Jerk and standard pico compete oddly.

I love the thin crust, and it was the perfect ratio of sauce to cheese. And the service was excellent. I ordered one slice, but it was so good, I went back for more. Next time I'll just get the whole pie!
