It Melted in the mouth like butter the perfection that this was cooked to was astonishingly incredible absolutely but don't take my word for it get lost in Scottsdale one day ! ”
“ This is a “hidden gem” !! I am letting visitors to Scottsdale in on the secret ... Situated right smack in the middle of “old town” Scottsdale, this Mexican Restaurant has its own parking ( hard to come by on Scottsdale) andthe warmest friendliest waiters of all time !! But perhaps more important to you if you are looking for tasty authentic Mexican Food is the quality of their food !!! Oh my gosh !!! Heaven to a Canadian who only has Taco Bell to compare it to!! The food here makes my mouth water all the way from Canada !! I start imagining the complimentary chips and salsa before I even board the plane . Their entree’s ( incredibly priced ) and absolutely yummy!! We really enjoy everything about Frank and Lupe’. ”
“ I’ve been frequenting this restaurant for over 15 years, and I have always had an excellent experience. The food is amazing, and it’s authentic New Mexican cuisine...not that lame-ass Tex-Mex you get at most restaurants. Come here, sit out on the patio, enjoy a Mexican beer or margarita, and order something with the Poblano sauce. You can thank me later. And before you leave, tip your server well. Salud! ”
“ Friendly staff from the moment we walked in the door. The homemade chips & salsa immediately told me I'm in for a real treat! The food was excellent. Since I was new to the restaurant, I ordered the combination plate & my wife ordered the soft shell tacos. Super flavors & the sopapillas that came with the combination plate were homemade and delicious. ”
“ Was here with my buddy from back home in St. Louis joined by our Scottsdale host. Our local host hadn’t been here before and was excited to visit. We opted to eat on the patio out back. The wind was fairly strong that night and the design of the patio area was essentially a wind tunnel. Beyond that the space was very fun. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Kept up with drinks and helped us make our meal decisions. Our food was super yummy and I’d gladly return. ”
“ Frank & Lupe’s is exactly what you want in a classic Mexican spot—no frills, just great food, solid drinks, and an easygoing vibe. The enchiladas were flavorful, the chips and salsa kept coming, and the margaritas were strong (in a good way). We sat outside on the patio, which has that cozy, colorful Southwestern feel—perfect for a relaxed evening. Service was friendly and fast. If you’re craving traditional Mexican food in a laid-back setting, this place hits the spot. Definitely coming back. ”
