Introduction to La Lupita Taco & Mezcal
The Dallas Design District will be home to La Lupita Taco & Mezcal, a celebrated restaurant in Los Cabos that will offer not only tacos but also one of the most extensive mezcal menus in Mexico. The new restaurant will be located at 1201 Oak Lawn Ave. and is scheduled to open this winter, according to a news release. La Lupita will serve tacos with handmade tortillas, a variety of mezcal cocktails, wagyu tacos and grasshoppers, all in a cantina atmosphere.
Expansion into the U.S. Market
The opening of the restaurant in Dallas will mark the brand’s entry into the U.S. market. A location will also open in Scottsdale, Ariz., and the plan is to open multiple restaurants in the coming years. This expansion is a significant step for La Lupita, as it aims to bring its unique blend of Mexican cuisine and culture to a broader audience.
Menu and Offerings
La Lupita Tacos & Mezcal will serve beef, pork, lamb, fish, shrimp, chicken, duck, and veggie tacos, and several other dishes and cocktails. Among the dishes served on La Lupita’s menu are Wagyu tostadas; tortilla soup with shrimp broth; beef, pork, lamb, fish, shrimp, chicken, duck and veggie tacos; Baja oysters; and Yucatan panuchos.

Launch and Future Plans
The plan is to open the Dallas location in December 2025. The launch will kick off with taco tastings and mezcal cocktail demonstrations in a festive atmosphere similar to that found in the beach destinations where they are based.
