Family cooking from Oaxaca and Puebla in East Austin. Everything is made here, from the masa to the hot sauce.
Since 2009
Guadalupe Ramos opened Casa Lupita with eight tables and her mother's mole recipe. Today her son runs the kitchen and her granddaughter runs the bar, and the mole recipe has not changed.
We grind our own corn every morning, buy chiles straight from Oaxaca and cook the way we eat at home: slowly, and with too much food on the table.
Three moles, slow cooked for two days, served with chicken, pork or roasted squash. Live son jarocho music from 7 pm. Book ahead, it is the busiest night of the week.
