This no frills Mexican restaurant in North Brunswick offers large portions for a reasonable price. The medium tamarind agua fresca comes in a massive glass. It was refreshing, tangy, and sweet. The chicken flautas were crispy and filled with shredded chicken, sour cream, lettuce, guacamole, and topped with shredded cheese. The chicken sopes were also big and filling, consisting of a corn flour base topped with chicken, lettuce, salsa, and cheese. The tlayuda, which is like a Mexican pizza, was the biggest I've ever seen, topped with chicken, tomatoes, lettuce, jalapeños, avocado, and onions. The servers are kind and Spanish speaking. Everything was freshly prepared and the bill came out to less than fifty dollars. Bueno, bonito, barato! read more

I returned here after what might be my longest hiatus from attending a spot originally, but that has not been 100% confirmed. I had three new items this time. As noted on my prior review, two salsas and chips were served to start the meal. They were as I remembered, a slight kick with plenty of flavor. For starters, the beef empanadas and carnitas tostadas were ordered. There were three to each order. The empanadas were extremely crispy. The puff pastry seemed a little odd as it appeared to have some type of sweetness? I could not exactly put my finger on it, but it was different. The filing was the standout here. The tostadas were my favorite item tried. The corn tortilla held up nicely with the carnitas and cheese. The meat was particularly good, and it did not hurt to add the salsa that was present. For an entrée, the chicken enchiladas were ordered. We had it with mole sauce, which was alright. Again, the filing was appetizing and there was plenty of it. I was just not a huge fan of the mole sauce. read more

Hands down. The best taco you'll ever have. Don't be fool by the Peruvian sign. I can promise you that you'll never have a better one in your life or that this wouldn't be in your top 5 Love when you come in and the guac is made fresh for each table too. We were the only ones in and we can here them making it right away Prices were great and they were very nice Inside the restaurant was a traditional cantina style set up and just an overall great experience read more

Great choice for lunch if you like tacos. Very casual, limited seating, but also very budget. The "Taco Tuesday" special was almost too much food for me. I finished it more due flavor, but three tacos would have satisfied me. read more

I had heard North Brunswick had really good Mexican restaurants so we found this place from a Yelp review. It was well worth the visit. Great service and the food was truly authentic. Tacos al pastor are my new favorite. Also had the BBQ ribs with rice and beans. Good portions enough for 2 people. Will definitely return. They had a sign for specials on taco Tuesday. read more

Hidden gem in North Brunswick. Close to the post office. Side street parking. It was completely empty when we came in which was odd but it didn't shake us and so glad we stuck it out. Ideally 4.5 stars but I'll round up. They bring out house made chips and two different salsas. Both salsas are more like sauce, no texture or chunks. Delicious though. My husband raved about the red one because of how unique it was. I preferred the green surprisingly but both were great. Chips are house made from flour tortillas. My husband and I both had the chicken fajitas. So delicious. Very clearly fresh made flour tortillas (triangle shaped which was actually great). Super flavorful beans. We tried to order the churro dessert but they were out of it. We ordered the flan instead. As an apology, the owner brought us out ice cream which was super nice of him. The flan was really delicious with a slightly burnt sugar taste (in a good way, trust me). I'm not big on flan but I really liked this. Our waitress was okay, she had to keep checking in the back every time we asked for something (my husband asked for no beans, she had to go ask, she had to ask about the churro dessert, etc) but she was very polite and helpful. I'd rather she check versus bringing out the wrong thing. This is a small place but it's clean, fun decor and super good food. read more

Monday's are $1 empanadas until 6pm! That got us in the door. Their empanadas all have cheese and your choice of meat. They were good, nothing amazing but a great deal for a dollar. We got a bunch of burritos and everyone enjoyed theirs. Large, packed with rice, beans,meat and covered in cheese. The enchiladas had great, flavorful sauces but were stuffed with dark meat and inedible pieces of chicken fat, skin and cartilage. Based on the prior reviews and proximity to my home we were really hoping to love it here but the enchiladas were a huge turn off. Stick to anything else! read more

Hey hey Adventurers! I only got to order take out from this location but the food was delicious and authentic! This is coming from dating someone who was Peruvian for over a decade so I can definitely tell a difference. We ordered the mixed seafood ceviche---phenomenal! Fresh and tasty, it is the creamy kind and not the clear juice kind. The chicken empanadas weren't too bad, I prefer the cuban beef kind style more. We also ordered the lomo saltado (ridiculously good) but they needed more rice and green spaghetti with beef that's fried. Overall I will definitely order from here again! read more

This Mexican spot definitely hits the spot!! Came for lunch with one of my co-workers after being highly recommended and it did not disappoint! All the tables were nicely distanced since we are still dealing with the pandemic and masks were worn by the staff which made us feel safe. I ended up ordering the Chicken Quesadilla and she ended up getting the Chicken Tacos. Wow is all I have to say! You could tell the chicken was freshly grilled and packed with flavor. Both came with a long hot pepper on the side which definitely added a nice kick to the meal since I did mention to the waiter that we loved spicy! That is great customer service right there :) This also lead to him bringing up us a 3rd dipping sauce to the complimentary nachos which had us sipping on water but oh so good! Prices are good and portions are large enough for leftovers the next day. What else can you ask for? You definitely can't go wrong with ordering from this spot and will definitely be a repeat customer! This place is truly a gem!! read more

I ate here before & it was good and few times got takeouts. This time we ordered: - Burrito - Its Delicious ....you Must try this! its huge and i asked them to mix it with spicy pork & Mexican sausage. - Pechuga de Pollo o Bistec - delicious marinated chicken - For appetizers we ordered Tacos (beef tongue) which was tasteless & Empanadas had very little filling (usually they are stuffed & delicious) Overall the food is very good and customer service is personal for eg. the lady took out Tacos from the bill since i was disappointed and followed up few times to make sure remaining food was adequate....that showed good customer service. The place is slow-paced & less vibrant and if that doesn't bothers you... then you must come to try out their food. read more

I was that jerk who called in an order 20 minutes before closing during a snow storm. So sorry Lucy's, but mad props for not closing early. My husband and I were craving Mexican all day, so we were determined to make it happen. We're so glad we did because the food was awesome. We shared 2 orders of enchiladas - one with verde sauce and one with mole sauce. We ordered the mole one with pork, but they both came with chicken. The mole sauce was rich and complex with a perfect cocoa aftertaste. I've found that a lot of authentic Mexican restaurants do not make true mole sauce. They'll claim it's mole, but really it's just a thin red sauce. The mole at Lucy's was the real deal. Additionally, we ordered chicken flautas, beef tacos, empanadas, and guac and chips. Yes, I know that's a lot of food for 2 human beings, but we're usually pretty unreasonable when we order take out. Our eyes are bigger than our stomachs, and we have leftovers for days - not a necessarily a bad thing. The beef in the tacos was dry, but we made them delicious by adding some fresh guac. Everything else was great. The flautas and empanadas were both crispy and full of flavor. We really wanted to try their famous soupes, but they not surprisingly ran out. We're looking forward to returning and trying them along with other things on their menu. read more

Updating based on owner response: I have used delivery app to order food this is true. You do not offer delivery options and I am not able to pick up. I wouldn't expect significant price increases when using one of these apps. There are a lot of vegetables Compared to meat in the fajitas so maybe it is 10oz. Rice and beans certainly don't seem like 8 oz but I've never measured. Original post: The flavor is there, always good! Ordered Buffalo calamari which was delivered soggy - they could poke some vent holes in the package so the steam gets out & doesn't make things soggy. Serving sizes are a bit small considering the cost of the meals ( fajitas, quesadillas specifically ) they give about a 1/2 cup maybe a bit more of rice and beans. I spent $100 ordering 4 "meals" which seems a little bit excessive. Ordered: Chicken Fingers, Chicken Quesadilla, steak fajitas (x2) read more

Great place for Mexican food. Great service and the food was amazing. I tried the Chicken empanada, Mexican sausage soft tacos and the Caesar salad. The empanada was moist on the inside with great seasoning and crunchy on the outside by not too oily. Will definitely have the next time I'm there. The soft tacos Mexican sausage filling was good. Not dry and well flavoured. The Caesar salad made for a nice healthy accompaniment to the spicy food. All in all a terrific dining experience and the service was impeccable. I was trying the place out to bring my family and it definitely passed the trial. Will be bringing the family back soon. read more

I was running errands on a day off from work, and was a bit late on my original choice for lunch, so I diverted to Lucy's Restaurant. Served first were complimentary crunchy chips with a red and tomatillo sauce. I prefered the tomatillo sauce as it had more heat and spice. As a starter I selected two tacos, an Al Pastor and a beef tongue (lengua) taco. Al Pastor tacos were very good with a distinct pineapple flavor from plenty of juicy chunks. The pork pieces were seasoned well and gave a savory contrast. It was not the best version of Al Pastor I've eaten.....but still very good. Lucy's version of beef tongue (BTW a severely underrated cut of beef) was awesomely moist, fatty, and correspondingly full of great flavor. The entire taco was coated with beefy flavor from the rendered fat. I would most definitely get this taco again! For my main dish I had the Mole chicken with rice & beans, and let me say that the Mole sauce was probably the best I've eaten! The Mole was fantastically full-bodied, bombarding me with all sorts of flavors: salty, sweet, sour, smokey, and bitter. The rice & beans were the perfect vessel for the ethereal Mole too. I loved that the two pieces of chicken were a drumstick and thigh, both being the more flavorful cuts of chicken. Paired with the Mole, they complimented each other perfectly. Service was so friendly as the owner (well obviously Lucy) took my order and was kind in answering my numerous questions on the Mole sauce. If you want a Mexican food which feels like a genuine homemade meal, Lucy's is a great choice! read more

We were looking for a place to eat for our double date ! I found this place was locally convenient to where we planned to go afterwards. The restaurant was clean. Despite the "warmer" temperature inside the restaurant, it was an amazing find! They had a portable AC vs centralized AC. The painting on the wall was very colorful and reminded me of something I would find if I went to Central America or Mexico. Their prices were reasonable with great portions. They give you homemade chips and two kinds of salsa as soon as you sit down. I had the Pechuga de Bistec a la Mexicana. It was so yummy and full of flavors! At the end of our meal, the chef had offered us tres leches for dessert on the house. It was AMAZINGGGGG! The service was on point and attentive. Our server was a pleasure to interact with. Overall, I really enjoyed our dining experience. We are definitely going to go back for our next double date! read more

Not made with the same love like the previous owners. I've gotten the tostadas in the past many times before and never have I had it made like this. Tortillas looked like they were thrown in the box and toppings were just sloppily thrown on top in hopes to cover the tortillas. Only top tostada had been done almost properly. Disappointing. read more

Small family owned restaurant, with colorful wall murals. Casual and comfortable setting. Food was excellent. We had many different dishes, and they were all delicious. For appetizers, we had beef and chicken sopes (huge, and usually i dont like them but these were so good) as well as empanadas. I was actually full after that. But it was necessary to move on to the main dishes. We had the skirt steak. It was very tender, maybe too tender (so I wonder if meat tenderizer was used), but nonetheless it was delicious. We also had a chicken soup. The soup was ok... a little salty...and loaded with veggies (which I liked), but not outstanding as far as flavor. Others in our group had the fish, and fajitas. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Definitely a great find! read more

Nice hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. The waitress was nice. The first brought out the chips and salsa. The red salsa was very good, not very spicy but tasty. Had carnitas and al pastor tacos. The carnitas had a good crispy outer edge to them which was nice to see and gave them good texture. They did the usual double corn tortillas on each of the tacos, which in this case was probably unnecessary since they weren't particularly runny, which I have experienced at other places. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for good Mexican joint! read more

$14 for the steamed fish and rice. 1 very small piece of fish, with white rice. This dish probably cost three dollars to make. The least they could do is give you 2 pieces of fish. Ate the entire dish and I'm still hungry. $14??? Wow. Response to the owner: Your dish is too expensive given the portion size. Period. Pandemic or no pandemic. Business owners aren't the only people struggling financially. Consumers are as well. Instead of getting emotional about my review, how about you as an owner consider what I am telling you and adjust your portions. Regardless of whether you appreciate my review or not, the customer is always right. Right? You have a nice day. read more

Los 4 Hermanos - Steamed fish dinner. One tiny piece of fish, one piece of yucca. - Mexican Near Me - North Brunswick Township, New Jersey

This "hole in the wall" is a hole in size only. With just 9 tables, it could qualify. But this space is cheerfully decorated, with Mexican murals painted on the walls and real tablecloths covered with white paper. We were the only diners on this dreary Monday night, and quickly inhaled the fresh homemade chips with two sauces that were brought to us immediately. I usually try to break my chips into tiny pieces and have no more than two or three whole ones, but I couldn't stop eating them. Thank goodness my friend was downing them faster than I could, so she emptied the basket before I suffered real regret. I needed a break from my usual chicken, so I ordered the churrasco, never expecting that my choice of medium rare would actually come out that way. But it did, and the flavor was exceptional. I wish I knew the secret of that marinade. The parsley and diced onion garnish added to the flavor, and the accompanying rice and black beans were good, too. I was happy, because I always forget to sub beans for the gloppy refritos served at most other places. Also on the plate were delicious fried yuca. I just wish there had been some chimichurri sauce to go along with them. My friend ordered chicken enchiladas in red sauce. It was a very attractive presentation, but she thought the sauce was way too mild. I had a taste, and it was okay for me, though I like my food spicy, too, She amped it up with some of the red salsa that accompanied the chips. At $8.50, I thought it was a very good deal! We didn't have appetizers or dessert, but sat for two hours catching up - until closing - and were never rushed, even though they could have closed earlier, since the restaurant was empty and we were not a high-end check. I hope other nights are busier, since this is one restaurant that I will definitely revisit. North Brunswick needs more gems like Lucy's. read more

My fiancé & I loveee Lucy's!! When we first moved to the area I had yelped top restaurants in the area so I could read some reviews and get a feel for good places to eat. Lucy's was on the top of the list so we knew we had to check it out! On our first drive by we actually ended up not going in because we were a little apprehensive about the outside of the restaurant and weren't sure what the quality of food would be. Boy am I glad I got him to go back!! We learned to not judge a book by its cover! Food is amazing!! We try to get something different every time and have not been disappointed yet! The skirt steak is definitely my favorite so far! They also start you off with complimentary chips and salsa! Staff is so friendly! It's a small restaurant but every-time we've been it has only been us and another customer or two which I loved so you never feel crowded. If you haven't been to Lucy's you are missing out! read more

This place is legit. Hole in the wall type restaurant with some serious mexican and Peruvian food. We walked in and were the only ones there at first. We got some fresh made tortilla chips and 2 sauces brought to our table which were great. You could tell they were fresh. We split the ceviche, chicken mole, empanadas, and pork tacos. The tacos were insane. I'm not exaggerating. Super tender pork and tons of flavor bursting with each bite! And holy mol-e about the chicken.... So tender and served with some rice and beans as the perfect compliment. Wow wow wow. I cannot wait to go back. When we left, the place was packed and the waitress was also one of the cooks in the back! It was clearly her and her husband ONLY bussing, waiting, cooking, hosting all at once. They worked their tails off and you could see that they wanted to give you a truly good experience. Don't be fooled by the look of the place, You will leave happy after an authentic experience :) Ah yes AND the fact that it's BYO is a plus ! read more

We come here almost once a week. I have been to hundreds of Mexican restaurants (my favorite cuisine) and Lucy's is by far in my top 3. It's super casual, the owners are the kindest, happiest people and very accommodating (giving me half rojo and half verde enchiladas because I couldn't make up my mind!!!). Everything is cooked fresh, and the flavors are amazing. The chef used to work at a Peruvian restaurant so there is a lovely little section on the menu, too. The ceviche is AMAZING, as is everything else. For the reviewers complaining about the TV.. If it's really bothering you that much, ask to change it!!??? My husband grabs the remote and turns on basketball for himself ha :) Everything is very reasonably priced, also. Highly recommended!!! I love Lucy's!! read more

I went here for a friend's birthday dinner last week. I wasn't expecting the best empanadas I've ever tasted, but that's what I got. Mouth wateringly good. Perfectly fried pastry crust and delicious beef and chicken (oh yes, I sampled both) filling. It's been a few days since and I'm still thinking about them... So good! This Mexican restaurant in is North Brunswick. It took us just a few minutes to get there from the main highway and wasn't difficult to find. It's an intimate, little restaurant, which I guesstimate can seat about 20 or so full capacity. The decor is cute and the staff was really friendly. That night, the staff were very hospitable and accommodating to our group, whose members had a few dietary restrictions (gluten and vegetarian). The salsas served with chips served at the start of the meal were really good .Aound the table, there were a number of entree dishes. I wanted something simple that night, so I ordered a fried pork chop with rice and beans - it was tasty. A couple of people ordered enchiladas, flautas, and yuca fries. Everything looked and, from everyone's feedback, was great. I will definitely make the trip out here again! read more

Very tasty Mexican food in a small storefront. My dinner was tasty enough that I came back the next day for lunch! They have only a handful of tables indoors so it has a very homey feeling. They also have only a handful of people who work there so it feels like a family run business. Definitely try their flautas. These were the closest to what I ate when I lived in Guadalajara. Light and crispy served with a bunch of lettuce and cream over top. Everything else I saw come out of the kitchen looked delicious as well! read more
