This little hidden gem has Dmdecent food and I like that they're a family owned mom any pop place. We've never had a bad meal here. Love the tacos and their salsa is very good. Their Chile rellenos are spot on as well. Great place for a stop in on busy weekends where larger restaurants may have a long wait. read more

I ordered their Albondigas and a side of Chicharron which was their specialty. I thought the chicharron would come fried and crispy but it was in a sauce that was amazing! 10/10 recommend their Chicharron dish. We also had their Carne Asada Plate which was also really good. Meat was tender and marinated well. The restaurant was clean and had charming decor. Service was super friendly. We'll definitely will be back. read more

Tuesday, 2-11-2025: My dear friend treated me here in celebration of my retirement. My daughter joined us later. We enjoyed the warm hospitality and the delicious food here. Lucy came over to check on us several times. She is so sweet & friendly. My friend has frequented this eatery for a while but it was a first time for me and my daughter. I love the decor and murals. It's so colorful, cozy, and very clean. We all enjoyed the meals and my friend was not exaggerating! I ordered the Chile Relleno and it was amazing! We love to support small businesses and cannot wait to return here with the entire family! read more

I went to lunch today with my uncle and I told him that I want some good Mexican food. He said "Say no more" and brought me to Casa de Lucy. Right as we walked through the door, I knew that it would be some good food. We sat down and they were attentive right away. In California, it's hard to find a good salsa and they have one here. I'm used to a red salsa like Arizona and most places in California have pico style. My uncle has only eaten one thing at this restaurant and it's the Green Chili Plate. The portions here are large and the plates are hot. He says this is the best Green Chili in San Diego and he ate the whole thing. I decided to order the Chicharonnes Plate because it's a delicacy and something you can't find anywhere. The Chicharonnes were smothered in a spicy red sauce. I mixed it together with the beans, rice, salsa and slapped it into a flour tortilla. Near one of the best I've ever had. The service and staff here is very attentive, the food is amazing, and it has that little Mexican food charm. It's the type of atmosphere that you know the food will be good right as you walk on in. If you haven't been here, you need to visit. My rating is a 9.5/10. read more

Great food and great service. Nice little Mexican Food place in Temecula. The asada tacos was really full of tender asada that was flavorful and not chewy or fatty. Hubby enjoyed the ground beef tacos very much. The rice and beans tasted fresh and we're even better with salsa added on top, yum! The free chips and salsa that were served while waiting for our meal were also good, especially the salsa. Not too hot, but very tasty. read more

Best Home style Mexican food I've found in the whole Temecula valley. Service was great and the atmosphere was cozy

This place has really great food ! Try the menudo on weekends it's the best ! The chili verde and Chicharon verde is the best . I drive all over Southern California and this place is a must !!! read more

Food is too greasy and lacks authentic flavor. Anything smothered in melty cheese & sour cream is a sign of bad Mexican food.

This place is impeccably clean. It's a hole in the wall in the sense that it's in a strip mall, but the restaurant is well done on the inside. The decor is very cute and so clean. Lucy was working when we got there! The food was delicious! It's hard to come by well cooked Mexican food in Temecula and this is now our go to spot. The service was quick and friendly. We got the albondigas, a wet burrito, and a combination plate. The rice and beans here are the bees knees. Also, perfect joint for a michelada when you're hungover read more

We were pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem in a nondescript strip mall. Beautiful, yet cozy and homey interior. Nice quiet music was playing. Custom framed art lined the walls that is for sale. Vickie, our server was friendly and made sure our glasses were never empty. The chips were warm and perfectly salted. The salsa that accompanied the chips was some of best fire roasted salsa I've had. Growing up in So Cal, we have a lot of good Mexican food. Casa de Lucy is a notch above most. We had Chile Verde con Carnitas, Chicken Tacos and Carne Asada Sopes. The sides of rice, beans and guacamole were also tasty. Everything we ate was some of the best home made Mexican cooking, just like my mom used to make. No can openers or microwaves here! The real treat was the Flan. It was denser and creamier than any Flan I've ever had. It was decadent! read more

Great Mexican food. Love the enchilada Suiza's & chile rellenos. I prefer softer chiles for a relleno & Lucy's are outstanding. Many good options and all are very tasty. A friend of mine loves the carne asada plate & says it's the best ever! A nearby table had an amazing shrimp cocktail & I asked how it was. The guy replied it was fantastic!! Try this place, you won't be disappointed. read more

Not coming here anymore. The owners passive aggressiveness is just too much. The last time I went there I thought maybe she was just having a bad day... So I gave it another try and it was worse than last time. Plus the food wasn't that tasty so I'm gonna take my money where it's appreciated without having someone with anger issues right below the surface brewing. read more

Came here for first time few weeks ago and I have to say the food was fresh and tasty. The garlic shrimp were big and juicy and the garlic butter was on point. Not quite Giovanni's shrimp truck in north shore hood but still pretty darn good and I'd order it again. Service was good and prices were fair. I'll try them again when in area and I'm craving sit down Mexican food. read more

Came back and it did not disappoint. Chicharrón con salsa was delicious. Hubby loved the machaca. Service is great and ambiance is nice too

Great comfort food. Authentic. Delicious. Perfecto. They always make me feel welcome. Can't recommend enough.

Went there as I was craving a good cheese enchilada and salsa. Lady sitting down (i believe the owner) said sit anywhere. Said something to another lady in spanish then came to table. I told her i wanted a cheese enchilada by itself. She asked what i wanted to drink and i told her i was fine as i had my bottle of water with me. She walked away. The other lady brought the chips and salsa with very few chips in there. The salsa was tasty and while I like hot salsa, I enjoyed it. I think it might be a little too hot for most people then enchilada came. It looked like canned sauce tasted like canned sauce little small for a seven dollar enchilada lady never came back to see if everything tasted OK if I need more salsa or anything else barely a minute after the enchilada was delivered she brought the check, then ignored me. I went up to the register to pay. She took my money, never said anything else. I noticed everybody else that got their checks had little mints on their tray. I was not given that I don't know if she was upset because I got something small or what but between the Service and small portions I will not return read more

Woke up in Temecula hungry after a long eve in Old Town. As always I began checking YELP reviews for Mexican food. It didn't take long to find Lucy's and the great reviews it had received. Lucy's is a bit hidden to the rear of a large shopping center. There's a sign by the street that's a bit faded but points you in the right direction. Parking is a plenty. You are immediately greeted once you walk in. I was the first customer of the day and literally helped by turning on the OPEN sign. My coffee came quick. Yes it was the great Mexican restaurant coffee that has a unique aroma and wonderful flavor. Chips and salsa were provided soon thereafter. The salsa was authentic and flavorful. One mild and one spicy were provided. The menu is easy to read and provides descriptions of each item. The prices are affordable. We soon tried chorizo and egg (real Mexican chorizo), Huevos Rancheros (amazing flavored yet not spicy sauce), Machaca (the meat was slightly grilled for great flavor), Chile verde burrito (wet of course) and a taco/ enchilada combination. ALL the food was SCRUMPTIOUS full of authentic flavors. It didn't take much to discover we were being waited on by Lucy herself. Thank you Lucy, this was a wonderful experience and I look forward to returning. read more

Large delicious plates! Great service and relaxed ambiance! Will definitely stop by when I'm back I the city.

My Daughter and Grandson and myself looked up Mexican restaurants near our hotel and came up. Casa de Lucy had great reviews, so we decided to try it. We loved the decor inside, it was cozy and clean. The food we ordered was very good. I had a cheese enchilada plate, which included rice and beans. My grandson had a plate with a cheese, quesadilla, rice and beans, he loved the food. He is only 21 months and ate most of it. We ordered a small bowl of guacamole to go with the chips, salsa comes with the chips. The service was quick and the waitress was very friendly. We will be back whenever we're in the area in the future. read more

Huge portions for the price. I had the chicken fajitas and it was enough for 2-3 meals. The fajitas were so flavorful. Rice was good but the beans could have used a little more something. Salsa was good and a little spicy (too spicy for my hubby!). I would absolutely return and try some of the different dishes. What a gem! read more

Ordered their menudo and quesadilla. Quesadilla was delicious. Menudo lacked some flavor, even after adding cilantro and onions. I would definitely go again to try something different. The lady at the front was really nice while I waited for my food. read more
