  2. What happened to this place anyway...It opened and was a runaway success, ALWAYS a long wait to get in. At some point they closed for a while, remodeled, changed the name to something I can't recall right now, reopened, promptly went belly up. Someone made a really bad business decision...(?)Was torn down and an insurance company's headquarters was built in its place....

  5. The place that opened was called Quilla's Looked like a run down Shanty. Could never understand why they did that Casa Lupita was very pretty inside, well lit with sunlight and the Brunch was amazing! RIP

  10. The Providence Mutual Fire Insurance Company was built on the site of the Casa Lupita. I don't know why it didn't succeed, everyone loved going there!

  14. Oh man… used to love this place. My parents would bring me there for my birthday in the late 80s and I could pick one or two friends to bring. The food was always good and the atmosphere was also really cool. I would totally go there today if it were still around.
