Mama Lupe's Cocina - Restaurant in San Leandro - 15033 Farnsworth St, USA

We are from the east coast (Boston). We have tried a lot of Mexican restaurants . This place was incredible. We started with oysters, the main dish, carnitas and tostadas. "Out of the world" No waits, maybe because of the time of the day, but the service was incredibly excellent. The owners stop by and say hello !!!! If you are in Oakland CA, come and visit Mama Lupe’s Cocina

Went here with two neighbor friends for dinner. I hadn't been here for a very long time,but one of my friends loves this place so we went. Came in ,very nice looking decor was seated very quickly. Server very friendly she was very quick to get us drinks and chips. Chips we're very good nice and warm and salsa was awesome! ... Our food came out very fast every thing looked amazing.. Friend #1 ordered Nachos. Friend#2 ordered tortilla soup. I ordered the "pick 3 combo" enchilada crispy taco and a soft taco. All were very good... Friend #1 loved her meal .Friend#2 thought it did not have a lot of taste in soup. Mine was pretty good... Overall . It's a great lil restaurant in the Manor. If you like spicy maybe ask for it to be spiced up. The price was fair and the food portion was good. I will be eating there more often.... Excellent service

Food was AMAZING, tasty and well presented. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was great! Would definitely recommend and go again!!!

I moved to the neighborhood several months ago and multiple locals told me Mama Lupe's is the best. They were absolutely right. Dropped in for a Friday afternoon lunch, impeccable service, food portions are large but there are plenty of items offering half orders. Full bar. Flavorful, clearly fresh ingredients. I had flautas, my friend had the fish, both dishes were excellent Everytime a table is cleared they spray a disinfectant and wipe tables and chairs down. Definitely will be a repeat customer.

Don't eat here. I've gotten sick with my daughter eating from here. I'm not sure if it was the tall skinny Caucasian waitress or the Mexican cooks. It was disgusting and sickening. I went to the hospital and they found traces of poison in my food i ate from MAMA LUPE COCINA. My daughter was also diagnosed with food poisoning and the food they found it in was from MAMA lupe.. It's sad. Very sad. Jealousy will be found in the restaurant because they will get you sick. It's unbelievable. I tipped them and the food ends up being poisoned. They judge who comes in there. If you're black they will make your food bad so u don't come back. If you're white they will take care of you. It's obvious how this white lady works. I seen her talk with the cook and out of nowhere both me and my 13 year old daughter get food poisoning? Wow. Word around is the white lady is the wife of the owner. So ladies, this issue is one of those. She seen a beautiful girl like me and her husband was serving me and my daughter. And probably got jealous. If only her husband knew she flirts with a lot of men when he isn't there.

Food is always excellent! Service is unbeatable!

*UPDATE. Mini sopes are here are genius. Pickled onions accent the salsa and cheese perfectly. OG Post. My favorite local spot for Mexican food and oysters. They have the best sauce I've ever had for oysters, an arbo chili mignonette. The right combination of spicy and savory.

First time coming here. Great atmosphere, clean restaurant, super friendly and courteous employees. The food was spectacular and had great flavors. Highly recommended!
