Mexican food slingers Lucky Lupitas has reopened in a new North Adelaide location – but it won’t be there for long.
The writing was on the wall for the beloved eatery’s former Bedford Park home last year when its site was earmarked for demolition to make way for a new expressway. At the time it was unclear where the gang would resurface, with possible CBD locations including Gouger Street initially bandied about.
But all was revealed in January of this year when a new ‘Transit’ store was confirmed to be opening in a totally different location, heading north to one of Adelaide’s busiest strips at 163 O’Connell Street.

In keeping with the transitional nature of the pop up, they’ve gone for a warehouse vibe complete with pallets of canned beans and booze sitting smack back in the middle of the dining area.
But while the lifespan of Lucky Lupitas MK II might be limited from the outset, they’re definitely not half-arsing it. The menu boasts a solid range of the tacos that made the restaurant a favourite down south, with choices like duck, beef, chicken and chorizo looking tempting indeed.
Other key dishes include 24 hour smoked beef ribs served with a jalapeno pepper slaw, seared boneless chicken maryland and a range of quesadillas, not to mention all the Mojitos, Margaritas and Sangria you would expect.
Having quietly opened to the public on Thursday, February 5, Lucky Lupitas is due to stay in its current location for 22 weeks before moving on up to a hopefully permanent new home. Where? They don’t know, but in the mean time Mexican food lovers just need to head north.
