Our Story

Since 2006, Tienda Mexicana La Lupita has proudly served Coralville, IA, and the surrounding communities as the area's first Mexican grocery store. What began with a passion for sharing authentic Mexican products and flavors has grown into a trusted neighborhood market where families can find quality groceries, traditional ingredients, and delicious homemade meals all in one convenient location. Our mission has always been simple: provide authentic Mexican foods at reasonable prices while offering friendly, welcoming service that makes every customer feel like family.

The inspiration behind Tienda Mexicana La Lupita came from a genuine love for Mexican culture and cuisine. Before opening the store, our founder worked as a waiter in a Mexican restaurant, where he developed a passion for sharing authentic Mexican food and products with others. Recognizing the need for a dedicated Mexican grocery store in Coralville, he opened La Lupita to bring familiar flavors to local families and introduce the community to the rich traditions of Mexican cooking. Today, we're proud to continue that vision by offering quality products and exceptional service that our customers have trusted for nearly two decades.

Our grocery store is stocked with a wide variety of authentic Mexican foods and everyday essentials. From fresh produce, meats, dairy products, breads, tortillas, spices, and seasonings to frozen foods, beverages, snacks, and specialty ingredients, we carry everything you need to prepare traditional Mexican recipes at home. Whether you're searching for a hard-to-find ingredient or stocking your pantry with your favorite brands, our shelves are filled with products carefully selected to bring authentic flavors to your kitchen.

In addition to groceries, we're known for our delicious takeout meals made with authentic recipes and fresh ingredients. Customers return again and again for favorites like fried quesadillas, flavorful carnitas, hearty tortas, and other freshly prepared dishes that deliver homemade taste at affordable prices. We believe authentic food should be both delicious and accessible, which is why we work hard to provide generous portions and outstanding value every day.

To better serve our community, Tienda Mexicana La Lupita also offers reliable money transfer services, making it easy for customers to send money to family and loved ones. We understand the importance of staying connected, and we're proud to provide convenient services that help support our customers beyond their grocery needs.

At Tienda Mexicana La Lupita, we believe shopping should be more than just checking items off a list. We strive to create a welcoming environment where customers feel comfortable asking questions, discovering new products, and enjoying the warmth of genuine Mexican hospitality. Whether you're shopping for authentic ingredients, picking up a quick meal, or using our money transfer services, you can count on friendly service and a commitment to quality every time you visit.
