Very attentive staff, delicious food, great margaritas, great mojitos, and no wait to be seated or served. What more can you want? Definitely recommend!

First time going and I will be back! Food was amazing! Authentic Mexican cuisine tacos were so soft it was awesome!

Update: Food is good but portions have gotten a lot smaller and the prices continue to rise and be inconsistent.

Tacos are supposed to be $1 on tuesdays, but when it came time to pay apparently only chicken and pork are $1. If that’s the case, you should be clear with your customers. If I would’ve known I was going to spend $40 on 12 tacos when it was supposed to be $12, I would not have came here, especially since there was more lettuce and onions than meat.

Previous: The strawberry, mango, and passion fruit margaritas were good. The drinks were nice and strong. The shrimp ceviche and beef chimichanga we're delicious, it's a must try.

For taco Tuesday, you can't miss the $1 tacos.

The guacamole was good, you need to add a little bit more lime and salt to add flavor, the salsa needs to be a bit spicier, and the table wasn't clean when we sat down.

Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely be back.

Great spot that's perfect for a late night meal after a show. Service was friendly and prompt. 4 stars instead of 5 because the chips were stale and soda was flat, but it could have just been bad luck. Pork burrito was big and tasty and the beef chimichanga with green sauce was crispy and very cheesy. Looking forward to coming back!

Came here for the first and last time tonight. My husband and I were the only 2 people in the restaurant, yet, we waited over 15 minutes for our orders to be taken. Then, we waited more than 30 minutes for our food to come out. The waitress was chillin in the back out of sight most of the time.

The food was not worth the wait either. I ordered chicken flautas, but they were 80% cheese. We also had to wait around to get the check (the restaurant was still empty). I don't understand how this place is still in business.

Don't waste your time and money here, there are plenty of other good spots to eat at in the area.

Food took 45 minutes for two things, Got food poisoning and have been throwing up all morning, and my girlfriends drink was way way to strong and she got very drunk off it. Don’t eat here

I’ve been to Lucia’s many times, it’s a Great family owned Mexican Restaurant. Their food is awesome and the customer service is even better!

Worst Mexican food I’ve ever had. Horrible service and drinks. This was my first time and my last. Never mind the waitress adding a 25% tip to our table of 4. Don’t waste your time/money.

P.s. Couldn’t even enjoy it take in the environment with the blaring loud music! So unnecessary.

The margaritas taste like lemonade. If you go here make sure you bring your own tequila bottle inside your coat because you’re gonna need it.

The drinks are so weak there’s no liquor in them.

Amazing burritos and quesadillas! Our food was absolutely delicious, the best Mexican food we’ve had in Providence. The ambiance in the restaurant is wonderful and the owners are lovely people.

This is a warm, welcoming, Family dining restaurant. You can tell everyone that works there is a part of the family. Lucia stopped by our table and was so nice! The quesadilla was delicious and the drinks were great and strong. One friend got the large drink, which was massive. I would definitely recommend.

Salsa was over salted, rice and chicken came out absurdly bright orange. Waters were never refilled, unless we asked. Kitchen messed up on one of the orders. Was overcharged on 3 of the 4 items ordered. Had to point it out on the menu to them. Tip was included in bill without the server telling us ahead of time. We were a party of 4.

Two words. GIANT MARGARITAS. I didn't order food/look at a menu so I can't review it. I can assure you after 2 margs though you'll be feeling fine.

I love this place. I've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. I just went this week for taco Tuesday and they accommodated my request of carb-free tacos by making them in lettuce wraps! They were absolutely delicious!

We used to love Lucia's but it's not the same. We loved the family atmosphere and the delicious drinks and food but it all changed. Our last experience was awful, service was terrible and drinks were not good! Servers sat in the back on their phones with lack of interest in guests. Food was good but drinks were very weak. I'm so sad that it is not the same as it used to be. We will have to find a n new Mexican spot.

Food was okay. Service was not good and althought the place was almost empty on a Monday night the food took for ever. Also, the tip was included on the bill but we were not informed of that so if we dont check the bill we would have
doubled tip

This was a disappointment the whole dish was orange neon lol. I thought on the hill they would be authentic good quality food. Not here you will receive the cheapest quality food from Price Rite lol. All ingredients consistently use Sazon! Msg nightmares

I went expecting Mexican vibe, 1 the rice was so red I couldn't eat it, 2 the music wasn't Mexican, 3 the tortilla for my fajita was so stiff I couldn't fold it so disappointed.

All of the restaurant staff was extremely friendly. Everything was fresh and delicious from the spectacular appetizers to the great tasting main course. A great choice if you are looking for tasty Mexican cuisine!

On Father's Day, my family and I went to celebrate with my husband his day after what we asked for was not complete, we made a purchase of almost 200 dollars, they wanted to charge us more than 20% in tips including two babies because they included them because they were with us.totally ridiculous
