Welcome to El Super Burrito & Lupita’s, a cornerstone of authentic Mexican cuisine in Cedar Rapids, IA since 2004. Known as the home of the original Burrito Ahogado, our restaurant has become a beloved local favorite for families, friends, and anyone craving bold, fresh flavors. From the very beginning, our mission has been simple: bring the vibrant taste of Mexico to our community, one plate at a time.

We wanted to share the recipes we grew up with—dishes made with care, flavor, and authenticity. Every tortilla, burrito, and plate of tamales tells a story of our roots and reflects the dedication we have to providing an experience that feels both familiar and new. We believe that food should be made fresh, served with pride, and enjoyed in a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. That’s why everything is baked, cooked, and prepared daily to order.

Over the years, El Super Burrito & Lupita’s has grown from a small eatery into a community staple, known for our famous Burrito Ahogado, flavorful carne asada, mouthwatering al pastor, and hearty gorditas. But we don’t stop there—our menu offers something for everyone, including veggie burritos, kid-friendly meals, and crowd favorites like nachos piled high and spicy Burrito Bombero for those who love a little heat.

What makes us stand out is more than just our food—it’s our commitment to creating a space where everyone feels at home. We have casual and welcoming dining room (with smiling faces and warm greetings), and options for dine-in, pick-up, delivery, and carry-out. We make enjoying your favorite Mexican dishes easy and fun. Whether you’re here with family, friends, or just stopping by for a quick meal, we promise every bite will transport you closer to Mexico.

For nearly two decades, we’ve proudly served Cedar Rapids and the surrounding areas, and our dedication to authenticity and hospitality hasn’t changed.
