Luceros has been around since I was a young kid and it used to be good But now it no longer is. This is the second time I have went, and I have not enjoyed my food at all. It has no taste, It was soggy, It was rushed. I just didn’t like it and I will not ever go back. I’m surprised they are still open. The ladies in there are very nice don’t get me wrong. But I don’t know who in their right mind would give somebody something burnt like this. I spent almost $50 in there and everything was nasty. The breakfast burrito was gross, The smothered fries terrible… Everything went in the trash. At the end of the day, I’m just being honest!!! Don’t feed someone something you wouldn’t eat.

Really delicious. Great Comfort food. A real treat. The price is really good. I try to go there as often as I can . A family business is so great in these times of chain restaurants. They are fine but I like the personal touch of a privately owned restaurant.

I used to get their food when I was a kid. Now that I live in NC, I have truly missed their smothered burritos. I recently went to Denver and it was the first stop I made after picking up my rental and let me tell you…they did NOT disappoint!!! This place still looks the same after all these years!
