Our Story

A Mexican Family, A Nice Fiesta

La Lupita has brought the flavours, colours and energy of Mexico to Nice since 2018.

Founded and operated by a family with roots in Ensenada, Baja California, and New Zealand, La Lupita is powered by an incredible international team of Latinos and Latinas from Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Cuba — with one Frenchman adding a little local flair.

Our kitchen celebrates authentic Mexican cuisine with a fresh Baja California twist. From tempura prawn tacos, slow-cooked pork carnitas and chilaquiles to fresh ceviche, sharing taco platters, pastel de elote and chocoflan, everything is made to be enjoyed together.

Behind the bar, we serve the best margaritas on the Côte d'Azur. Our signature cocktails showcase the bold flavours of tequila and mezcal, alongside refreshing aguas frescas, Jarritos and plenty of Mexican favourites.

La Lupita is a relaxed, welcoming and inclusive place to eat — but when dinner ends, the party begins. With Latino DJ sets, live music, special events and private celebrations, it is the perfect place to share great food, enjoy a few margaritas and dance into the night.

Come for the tacos. Stay for the fiesta.
