La Lupita Mexican Store and Restaurant - Maryville

HOLY SMOKES!! How could this place be hiden from Maryville!! Folks, moderately priced food with a Hint of

I come here for the groceries I can’t find at the big box stores. They are super friendly and helpful to those unfamiliar with everything. I got to eat some tamales they had for sale during Christmas and they were delicious.

Service was horrible. I will admit server took our order fairly quickly, but service went down hill after that. Infact server didn’t really come back to check on except when they realized my wife didn’t get her food nor did they apologize. But my granddaughter, received her food 1st, about 5 minutes later her mother was served. 10 minutes later I could tell they were talking about me not getting my food. And 7 minutes later they brought me my food. But my wife still wasn’t served. Keep in my they had a food runner bringing our food, not the waitress. I waved down the food runner asking her about my wife food. And she went told the waitress. 5 minutes later waitress came out and asked what was wrong. She informed us there was mess up on the order, and her burrito was setup to go. Which I have no clue how you would do that. I feel communication between the cook and the waitress is extremely lacking, what I don’t understand why the waitress does not check on her customers.
