Lupita's Taco Temple
Our Story
Lupita’s Taco Temple began in the spring of 2009, when a once-abandoned taco stand on Main Street in Oak Creek was brought back to life with a whole lot of heart—and a very tiny baby.
At the time, Paula Jo had just welcomed her daughter, Lupita Renee, who was only five months old. Naming the little stand Lupita’s Cantina felt like a no-brainer. What started small, simple, and family-centered quickly grew into something much bigger.
Over the years, the stand has evolved—learning better ways to operate, grow, and adapt—but one thing has never changed:
our commitment to serving delicious, creative, and truly unique tacos and burritos.
We strive to be original, curious, and just a little unexpected.
Today, Lupita’s Taco Temple is proudly family-run by Paula Jo, alongside her kids Lupita and Luciano. It’s still about good food, good people, and gathering together.
With gratitude from our family to yours.
We proudly support Colorado produce, proteins, beer, and liquor.
Giving Back to Our Community

We take pride in supporting the people, organizations, and local creators who make our little corner of Colorado so vibrant. Collaborating with our neighbors isn’t just the right thing to do—it's a joyful, energizing part of who we are.
