My coworkers introduced me to this unassuming spot, and I really enjoyed Lucy's to the point where I went 3 times a week. I have yet to try anything other than their Asada Fries but it's so good. I appreciate that every order comes with free chips and salsa (but you can say no). Restaurant itself is quite small, it's better to grab-n-go when it comes to Lucy's. I shall be back! Multiple times..... read more

Lucy's Mexican Grill - Asada Fries - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

On a whim we stumbled on this great place as we were in the area and it was an amazing find! It's located in a small complex area and the outside looks like any storefront. The burritos were heavy and huge. The first bite was a burst of flavor and deliciousness. I was thoroughly impressed how wonderful the burrito was. The al pastor meat was marinated and cooked so well. There were so many components of the super burrito. We'll definitely be back whenever we are craving for good Mexican food. read more

Today, the Husband and I needed something to hold us over, until We made it home for dinner, so to Lucy's We headed... we were 5 minutes away and she's been bookmarked for a while now, and today was the day where I found out if she's earned her stars. We decided to share the Grilled Vance burrito and We made it wet(mojado), with half green(verde), half red(rojo) sauce, seeing as we've never visited I wanted to know which one was best, and the red took first place. The burrito gets 4 stars, it was a bit small...too much tortilla for Me, I prefer more filling, especially for $16, and the flavor was average, but the texture of the meat was good. The gentleman who assisted us was top notch, he really looked out, and was very accommodating. He provided us with complimentary chips and salsa, as well as grilled onion and jalapeño. The service was 5 stars. The interior dining area consists of 3 basic tables and chairs. 2 tables that seat 2, and 1 that seats four. The ambiance 3 stars. We were too hungry to get a pic of the food, I totally forgot. read more

So good, meats were all tasty (al pastor, carne asada, carnitas), good ratios in super burrito, and amazing huge homemade tortilla super tacos! A small spot with 3 tables so Togo fast service is most ideal. Very cinnamon horchata for those who like to that. I'd go back if I lived in the area still. I'd give 4.5 stars if I could, only 2 complaints - Al pastor needed to be cooked just a smidge longer and the mango agua was like a puree instead of an agua. Staff were all nice and quick! Dinner ordered and picked up in 15 minutes. read more

We really enjoy the tacos and burritos hear. The pastor is our favorite and the staff are generally very friendly. Great options of different sauces as well. read more

I was hesitant to try Lucy's because of another review that mentioned a microwave in the kitchen. I decided to give it a try anyway. I ordered a couple tacos, a burrito, and regular nachos. The tacos were solid and the burrito was good! They also give free chips and salsa. I was disappointed with the nachos. I wasn't sure if they forgot the toppings or if it doesn't come with regular nachos, but it looked kind of sad without pico de gallo and jalapeños. There was melted cheese on the top along with the meat and beans, but it looked microwaved and the chips were super soggy. The worst nachos I've ever had. I knocked off a star for the microwaved nachos, but I do recommend Lucy's for their tacos and burritos. read more

Make sure to pick up the menudo on the weekends! Service is fast and the food is good. We got the pastor/lengua super tacos this time but I'm sure the regular ones are just as good! read more

So dang good and worth the visit. Solid food and solid service. Came in around 7:30pm, they were busy, but I didn't have to wait long. I ordered after a family and it came out within 15min or less. Some people were dining in, some people were waiting for their order and they seemed really efficient in getting the food out. They have a just a few tables inside and some stools/counter along a wall to eat at or wait. Their menu is up on the wall and has details of everything that comes with an order. Order: Asada Fries $12.39 - yummm, French fries, cheese, meat, sour cream, pico de gallo, you just can't go wrong. San Jose Burrito $13.49 - French fries inside haha, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. I chose Asada for the meat. It was a hefty size and very filling. Super Burrito $13.49 - just try it. You can customize it and it was also a hefty size, generous filling. I also went with Asada for this one. They also provided free sauces, but I don't remember the flavors. I just know they were spicy! And they even threw in a pile of warm tortillas on the house!! The people there were very welcoming. Their service, price point, and taste is worthy of a 5 star review. I'm happy to have this business in the neighborhood and I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

It's very nice place but small. They've been busy but service was quick. I wouldn't come with my family as there's no room to sit really unless you're 2-3 people tops. We saw a lot of people coming in to pickup so turnover is really fast so it tastes very fresh. Tables could be cleaned more often but all in all 3.5 stars read more

I stopped by here to grab lunch to take home. I checked out the menu to see their offerings. The menu is displayed above the register. I decided on the super burrito with carnitas. The inside is small with just a few tables for dining in. Service was good. When I got home I noticed on my receipt, I was charged more than what the price said on the menu. I couldn't figure out why. I thought that was really strange. The only thing I could think of was that I asked for refried beans instead of whole beans. The employee never mentioned there would be a charge for that. The burrito was just okay. The carnitas were extremely salty and I was not given very much. In fact the burrito was not very heavy compared to what I'm used to getting other places. I did however like their green salsa. That was really good. Not sure if I will be back again. For the price I paid and for the extra unknown charge, I expected more. The rice in the burrito was hard and not fresh. I definitely did not get my moneys worth here. read more

Very delicious chicken tacos and beef. Great service, small place, better for a takeout because there aren't many seats. I gave only 3 stars because you can only buy drinks and not water cups. In addition, tables are not wiped after every guest. Too bad that cleanliness is not a priority. read more

I called in and ordered a San Jose burrito. It was great! I would definitely go here again.

My husband and I been going here for some time now. He went in and ordered super asada fries. They gave him nacho asada fries. He went back in to have them change it and gave it back to him with no pico which they stated that the asada fries doesn't come with pico which is a lie we always got pico on it. Idk what is wrong with this place their customer service is horrible! Not to mention the fries weren't even fresh the meat had hela fat! Will be the last time we come here! read more

I have been a regular customer and have enjoyed the meals I've eaten until now. Last night, I went to pay and pick up my order and had to wait a few minutes. They asked if I wanted any sauce and chips. While I waited, I watched the cook put my meals in the microwave! She pulled my containers out of the microwave with the enchiladas in it. She then added the beans, lettuce, & tomatoes. I won't be ordering from them anymore, as no one should pay for microwaved food! I want fresh food cooked in an oven from a restaurant! read more

I ordered tacos with lengua and cabeza, both were amazing. The meat is melt in your mouth tender. My husband had the al pastor burrito and was delighted with it. Their pineapple agua fresca is excellent too. We'll be back! read more

Great burritos and tacos! Service is always friendly and welcoming. Glad this place is close to my home.

This is my favorite spot for a massive breakfast burrito! I have a total addiction. I am really picky about my choices. Always good and fresh. The place its self is cool. They have great customer service too. Thank you for making me happy . read more

We don't eat simple carbohydrates - no beans, no rice, and we bring our own zero carb tortillas. I give any Mexican restaurant 5 stars when they give us a delicious plentiful custom plate for a reasonable price. $20 got us a huge plate of delicious Cabeza and Lengua. They serve you ala cart from various things they have behind a sneeze guard. We picked a bunch of vegetables, peppers, cheese, sour cream, salsa and guacamole. It was plentiful and really good. read more

The food is still great!! Moved away and when I moved back came straight here & of course it didn't disappoint! The handmade corn tortillas make the tacos unbeatable. My top meats asada, chili verde, and al pastor. Whenever I'm in town I will always stop here! read more

I come here almost every week. Great friendly service. Highly recommend their barbacoa and carne asada burritos.

This place used to be good! Not just the food but the service that was offered by previous workers. The food was way better and they would actually give one what they ordered.. lately, they've been messing up my orders and take no responsibility. Taking my money elsewhere now because this place has gone down the hole. read more

I stoped in Lucy's this Saturday morning for a good breakfast burrito. Ydaid was taking the orders at the counter. Dude was nice and helpful. I ordered two assada breakfast burritos. Hey, man... those were big stacked with meat and everything else! Boom!! With so many choices for burritos in San Jose, Lucy's ain't bad!! And thank you, Ydaid for being a cool and helpful person. I was new to this place and Ydaid served it up!! The workers are fast and take pride in their product!! And THAT'S what's up! read more

This is not a review I wanted to write, but when a company refuses to refund you, what other option do I have? Sunday morning I placed an online order for a Breakfast Burrito and Ceviche Tostada. I arrive and they say they don't have the Ceviche Tostada, I say no worries. They offer 1x taco as a replacement... the tostada is $7, so I suggested how about 2x tacos? They said no, one I said okay I'll just have it refunded then. They make the burrito and hand it off to me with the receipt fully charged, I ask again about the refund. They don't know how to do it and tell me to call the online system I paid through (Clover). I try to contact them the say the restaurant has to do it. I call back, a man who didn't speak great English answered (may have been same guy) he ended up hanging up when I asked for manager. I then sent an email through the contact on their website and haven't received any correspondence back. I know it's only $7, but it's a shame they can't even respond. I've also learned how easy it is on those clover systems for them to have just done it that morning, it's easy to refund items (the Clover support told me) I personally won't be back, this whole thing could've been solved by quickly throwing two small tacos together or refunding the item in the kiosk, but if you do never order online. Cheers! read more

This place is definitely overhyped. Theres barely any cheese in my nachos, just slapped on a bunch of refried beans. Depressing as hell.

I was introduced to this spot by a coworker. I just happened to mention that I was craving a taqueria burrito and mentions Lucy's. She was right! The burritos here do NOT disappoint. For a while, my roommate and I were fixated on the burritos and nacho fries. We must have ordered from here, at least, once a week for months. I don't believe they have seats in here, but I could be wrong. It does take them a little bit to get orders out, so when we get this for lunch, we tend to call in our orders before we leave our work site. When we do this, we get back to work in plenty of time to eat and clock in on time. The shop looks exactly how you would expect a small taqueria to look. No fill or thrills. Just a good stop to get some yummy grubs. read more

Amazing food and fast and friendly service. if I'm not mistaken, I think Lucy also owns laundromat next to one of her restaurants.

Their burritos are amazing, always satisfied with my meal. Need to stop by here if you're ever craving mexican food!

The lady at the counter was super nice and inviting, food was excellent and not too pricey, 10/10 would come again.

Ordered two burritos, one regular and one super with asada. Both were cold (not even a little warm but cold) and the meat had too much gristle. read more

Don't let the modest size of Lucy's Mexican Grill fool you--this place is packed with flavor, heart, and authenticity. Nestled in the Blossom Valley neighborhood of San Jose, Lucy's might look like a humble taco joint at first glance, but one bite in and you'll understand why it's become a local favorite--and why it's quietly expanding across the city. From tacos, burritos, quesadillas, to tortas, every dish is crafted with care and packed with rich, bold flavors. The meats--whether it's al pastor, carne asada, carnitas, or chicken--are incredibly flavorful, tender yet full of texture, and always seasoned to perfection. You can taste the love and tradition behind every marinade and sear. What sets Lucy's apart, even among the crowded taqueria scene in San Jose, is their homemade tortillas. Fresh, warm, and slightly chewy, they elevate every taco and burrito to something truly memorable. It's the kind of handmade touch that you don't often find anymore--and it makes all the difference. Then there are the aguas frescas. Every day, they rotate between flavors like mango, pineapple, strawberry, watermelon, and of course, the classic horchata. These drinks are refreshing, not overly sweet, and taste like they were made straight from fresh fruit--because they are. Pair one of these with your meal, and you've got the perfect balance. They also stock traditional Mexican soft drinks like Jarritos, which just adds another layer of authenticity to the experience. And Mexican version of the Coke made out of sugarcane. One thing you shouldn't miss is their signature orange sauce--a fiery, creamy, citrusy salsa that adds a bold kick to anything you put it on. It's seriously addictive and ties everything together with just the right amount of heat and zing. Lucy's is a family-owned business, and that warmth carries through everything they do. The owners--brothers, each managing different locations--have created something truly special. Their success story is well-earned. In just a few short years, they've expanded to multiple locations across San Jose, and it's easy to see why: great food, consistent quality, fast service, and a community feel that you don't often find in casual eateries. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite, picking up lunch on the go, or just in the mood for authentic, soul-satisfying Mexican food, Lucy's delivers every single time. It's one of those places that once you discover, it becomes part of your regular rotation. Support local. Support family-run. And most of all, treat yourself to one of the best taqueria experiences in San Jose. read more

I recently discovered the spot since it's close by my house and it tastes very good. I definitely like the burritos here. I havnt tried the whole menu yet, but everything looks delicious and the staff is very friendly. Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for authentic Mexican food read more

The carne asada tacos were delicious. I like their hand made tortillas, super soft. Their nachos was well worth the drive over. It was loaded with jalapeños, cheese, meat, avocado, sour cream and beans. The Horchata was not too sweet so it was perfect. They have 3 sauces to choose from and very fast with service. It took about 10 mins for the order to be ready. Inside has a few tables. Everyone was very friendly. read more

We love Lucy's burritos! But we don't understand why you only get one small bag of chips with four burritos ordered?
