Service was good. Food was very bland and waaaayyyy to hot! $11 for a queso dip is outrageous!

First time going to Lucitas and was so unimpressed I doubt I'll ever return. The margarita was delicious but I was charged separately for strawberry and mango. I guess when I read that the margarita special was strawberry margaritas, I assumed I'd be paying the special price plus mango.

The waitress was nice enough. She accidentally made one too many margaritas so we got one on the house.

4 of our meals arrived on time. The 5th meal was forgotten about so we had to wait for her meal.

I spent $50 bucks on two meals that were horrendous. We ordered queso. Tasteless. Had to pour salsa in it to eat it. I ordered the carnitas. I recieved more fat than pork and two tiny tortillas. The potatoes were bland and the corn was like mush. I didn't even eat my meal. My hubby enjoyed his fajitas but also hated his sides. Rice was crunchy and black beans were bland.

The waitress had issues remembering orders and had to come back multiple times. At one point we just stopped asking because she just kept forgetting.

The atmosphere was nice enough. Quiet, but we were the only table there.

I was in town on business and they were recommended by the locals. And I can totally see why! You can get a table but I chose a seat at the bar. Service is above and beyond and I’m convinced everything on the menu is outstanding. Gotta check it out.

The fact that they fed striking laborers from Ingredion during the winter months is enough to get my 100% support. Thank you for supporting the working class backbone of our community. It is of utmost importance that we hold on to the rights of the working class. Thank you Lucita's!

Was surprised when my son (vegan) asked if a dish on the menu could be made excluding the meat. He was told immediately that he will get what he gets described in the menu. No changes could be made. There wasn't an actual menu with vegan or vegetarian options. Being a Mexican restaurant I would of thought throwing lettuce, rice, beans etc without the meat in a tortilla shell wouldn't have been a big deal as all those options can be ordered on the side. Very disappointed that they wouldn't even consider trying.

Always great food and great service here! Try the cheese crisps or the dos amigos for lunch. You can't go wrong with their queso.

Food was straight out of food nightmares nothing was made by the staff and that was obvious. Steak burrito had maybe 5 pieces of meat and the chicken could have been mistaken for rubber.
