Earlier in this century I used to work around the corner from this Luceros. It became nearly a daily routine to grab a breakfast burrito here. True Americana...No frills Hole in the wall, serving awesome Breakfast Burritos and mexican food, made with a green chili with the perfect level of heat. Since then I have worked from home and don't get out this way much, but a friend of mine reminded me the other day, and it stuck in my head ever since until this chilly Saturday morning on my MC, I decided to take a therapy ride to Luceros and Im glad I did.....Same Luceros...a few new pleasant faces and the same great burritos, one smothered, the other to go for tomorrow..I'll be back! read more

Lucero's & Sons Restaurant - Smothered Bacon Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Went this morning for a egg/potato/bacon and a beef taco. Tasted terrible the beef was burnt dark and the shell tasted old. Been going to this restaurant for a long time and the one on 104th both have gone down hill. read more

Lucero's & Sons Restaurant - Supposed to be beef. Looks old tasted old - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Probably the best breakfast burritos in a city with a vast number of choices. I've been a devotee for 25 years and still very happy with my discovery. read more

Without doubt the best green chile in Colorado and I think Colorado has the best green chile bar none.

I thought about calling to complain, but didn't want to deal with the hassle. So, that was $20.00 wasted. I definitely won't be returning to that place. While I was waiting for my order, I noticed the guy who took my order walked back to the kitchen and picked his nose using his sleeve. Although he was wearing plastic gloves, it was still gross. I also noticed that the table where I sat while waiting for my order was covered in dust and crumbs.I thought about calling to complain, but didn't want to deal with the hassle. So, that was $20.00 wasted. I definitely won't be returning to that place. I haven't been to Lucero's & Son's for years. I was charged 18.00 dollars for my order, wow! I gave the guy 20.00 dollars and told him, he might as well keep the rest of the 20.00 dollars. when I got home and opened the Mexican hamburger, it was horrible. I even tried to taste it, and I had to spit it out and throw it all into the trash. When I was waiting for my order, the guy who took my order walked back to where the other guy was in the kitchen and picked his nose with his sleeve, from his shoulder with his finger. He did have plastic gloves on, which was gross. I will not return to that place again. The table where I sat waiting for my order was full of dust and crumbs. I was going to call, but didn't want to go through all the BS. What a waste, there went my 20.00 dollar bill in the trash. read more

One of the neighborhood staples highly recommend. Some of the best green chili in the city

Good little spot for breakfast burritos. They have bacon, sausage and others. Really tasty and not too big where you'll be overly full. They hit the spot. The guys there are always friendly and helpful. You can sit down if you'd like the place is clean they have a tv available. read more

Service wasn't great. My order got put in late when my table group got their orders in earlier and I wasn't ready. Wings were low quality and not saucy read more

My favorite place in the entire city to eat a breakfast burrito!! The service is great . read more

Great food! Just like grams made home cooking prepared by an amazing family! I've been coming here for my home cooked meals for 30+ years! Don't let the ambience fool you! Not a pretentious gentrified restaurant!!! read more

In my opinion! One of the best chorizo breakfast burritos in Denver! Used to go to one over by Steele St years ago cause close to work we all loved them. Just realized this one close to home. Perfect blend of eggs , not over loaded with potatoes, good amount of chorizo and spice. I like it hot.. read more

Food and service are great. I was craving super hot chili and even though they offered only one temp, the guys that's helped me were able to spice it up. I was very happy with everything. Will definitely be back. I want to try the breakfast burritos for sure. read more

I been eating here and all the other ones for years worse burrito i ever ate there tortilla was gross , sausage was gross and dry horrible i am so sad this was so bad because i love all the luceros they wasn't prepared for today , you see it when the girl had on her pjs for work on the counter . Sad get it together please !!! read more

Authentic AF !!! Hands down best smothered burrito I've had in a looong time. If you're gonna get the breakfast handheld you better like it WET. The Huevos rancheros came with a green chili unlike any other I've had in Denver to date. Our new, new spot for sure. read more

From there great Tasting Breakfast Burritos. To there Bomb tasting juevos Ranchero. One of Colorados Best.

One of the most important things in quality breakfast burrito is how the bacon is cooked! Because they cook their bacon and don't microwave it their burritos are special so very delicious highly recommend this place read more

Trust me on this one. This is a hidden gem. Bacon breakfast burritos absolutely smack here.

This place is low class, they have horrible customer service, I would not recommend it to any one! Don't waste your time, you'll have a better experience making your own burritos. read more

I have been a customer of Lucero's for 25+ years They have ... I'm my opinion. The very best breakfast burritos I went in this morning and while I was waiting for my food I notice. The ceiling It has so much lint and dirt. I think the lighting is a fire hazard. The floor was just as bad. I'm sad to say that this is my last Lucero's breakfast burrito. There are a lot of people trying there best to keep there businesses open. And providing a clean restaurant is crucial. My kitchen is NEVER that disgusting read more

I've been going to Lucero's for over 30 years somethings changed there every time I go in the price is different plus the recipe it's just not good anymore. read more

Great little lunch type counter restaurant. While we are our delicious mexican burger several locals came in as well - gets a lot of traffic. Dive-y north Denver style restaurant super small menu: burritos, tacos, enchiladas & burgers to name a few. Done well, great to grab a bite to eat. Was not disappointed by their delicious green chili and the burger was done to perfection. read more

Excellent breakfast burrito smothered in flavorful green chili. The green chili could be spicier but I was still happy with it. Prices are very inexpensive and they didn't skimp on the filling. Will be going back to try a few more items. read more

Lucero's & Sons Restaurant - Egg, potato, and sausage burrito smothered. $6 - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Just the absolute best breakfast burritos in the USA. I've eaten here for about 20 years and the food is always great. Another tip is eggs rancheros smothered for breakfast, just the best. You can follow them on Facebook, luceros on the north side. read more

The only thing better than the food is the service! Ask for Tisha, and you will feel like family! We are so thankful to have the legacy of this wonderful spot in our community. read more

After visiting Lucero's Westminster location on Saturday, what better way to follow it up than with a trip to the Denver location? Yes, yes...my weekend was full of gluttony. I wanted to have my BF taste their delicious food, so off we went. The menu here is slightly different than in Westminister (no chile relleno on the menu, to my great disappointment). We ordered up two egg, potato, and chorizo breakfast burritos and dug in. Very delicious, and I am continuing my love affair with their green chile. GAWD it is delicious!! It sets your mouth on fire and keeps your lips tingling. I had forgotten about Dug's huevos rancheros review until the couple at the table next to us got theirs served. WOW - I will definitely get this next time. It was a gut bomb to be sure, but what a gut bomb it looked to be! This location is definitely more "hole-in-the-wall". A little grungy and rough around the edges, but the food still shines. read more

I heart this place! Viva Huevos Rancheros! Hands down the best Heuvos Rancheros I have ever had! I like food and food likes me and this in one of those gems that I love hitting up when in the area! From the green, bacon, beans, eggs, cheese and tortilla everything goes to make perfect blend of tastes and spices! YUM, the only way these could be any better is if I was eating them with Salma Hayek Jiménez, and still I would be paying more attention to this dish! A little sketch from outside but take a risk stop grab a bite its worth it, Dug E Fresh says so! read more

I finally sampled true Colorado-style green chile yesterday and I'll be back for more. When I moved to Denver I was totally grossed out by the less authentic slimy stuff I saw poured over burritos at Pete's Kitchen. But the true Colorado-style green chile slathered on top of breakfast burritos, "Mexican burgers" and pretty much everything served here is tasty, authentic and a perfect example of a uniquely Colorado cuisine. read more

Nice little find right up the street. I tend to stay off this section of Pecos because of the damn train that always sits on the tracks just north of Lucero's. But, every now and again, I venture up there to head north and I get lucky... no train! One time I headed up there, I noticed this little Mexican joint with a faded sign. I told myself I would be trying it very soon. On a night where I felt like a decent meal without cooking it myself, I decided to give Lucero's a try. This is not a fancy place... just order at the counter and wait until your order is called. The kitchen is small, as is the dining area. Most people, I assume, just order and take it to go. But, if you want to stay, you can certainly do so. My wife and I both had the combos (includes a bean tostada, bean burrito, and a beef taco (all smothered in green chile)). The taco shell was a little stale and the beef in it tasted like it was reheated a few times. But, it was tasty nonetheless. The green chile is what makes this stand out. It looks a little soupier than most, which I liked! Good quality meat and chiles in it. Not too spicy, but just the right kick. All in all, a place I will go back to... Oh, and it only took 4 mins to get my food from the moment I ordered... A+ for service! read more

I have driven by this place for ages and never stopped. A hole in the wall with a neon sign from a long time ago. I went in and was surprised they have been there over 35 years. They are opened to 7pm so they serve breakfast, lunch and early dinner. Nothing fancy here just decent Mexican fare. I don't believe there is booze/didn't ask. We had great breakfast burritos with great green chili. Parking lot on both sides of front door. read more

I've been looking for a good Mexican restaurant and came across Lucero's Mexican Foods new location on 9031 Harlan St. Their slogan is "You tried the rest now eat the best." Not to far of the mark. Friendly people with food made fresh. I will be back! read more

Lucero's & Sons Restaurant - a red fire hydrant - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Fabulous and simple breakfast. Took a group here after a youth basketball game in a Saturday morning. Tremendous homemade tortillas!

Great pork green chili, one of my most favorite places for Mexican food! Not a flashy place just great food!

Good enchiladas de pollo , bad service & TERRIBLE PLACE! They don't clean the Chairs and tables, they don't sweep The floors, I won't back to that place , no even for free ! read more

The food is amazing! I would eat there everyday!!! Anything with green chili, really any meal at all!! It's all so amazing and well-priced! Warning: Just show up and order, they ARE quick enough. The lady on the phone is AWFUL. It's a shame, really, I have some neighbors who haven't liked their experience over the phone and won't return. I'll just send my husband! She seems to be kinder to men... read more

Incredible juevos rancheros. That's all I ever get, so that's pretty much all I can comment on. The green chili is so good and has the perfect amount of heat. I have gotten all of my family members hooked on this place. read more

THE definition of "hole in the wall" Mexican food. It is awesome. I he the supreme pork burrito - smothered in green chili, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. The chili has just enough spice to make it delicious but not too hot- but this is just my opinion. It may be too hot for gringo types ... Lol. The folks behind the counter are very nice and attentive so the service is just as good as the food. Try this place, you'll enjoy! read more
