This little eatery is tiny but full of charm. Inside, there's seating for about eight people at small tables and space for four more at the counter, which gives the place an intimate, cozy feel. Outside, two two-seater tables offer a nice option if you want to eat in the open air. Because of the limited seating, it can feel snug during busy times, but that also adds to its neighborhood vibe. It's the kind of spot that feels personal and low-key--perfect for a quick bite or a relaxed meal when you don't mind close quarters. The menu features familiar Mexican dishes you'd expect to find at many restaurants. The food was decent and enjoyable, though nothing particularly unique or memorable. It's a comfortable spot I'd be happy to return to, especially if I'm nearby, even if it's not a place I'd seek out specifically. I'd rate this three stars, but the gentleman who took our order was very friendly, patient, and informative which made the experience that much better--hence the four stars. read more

Really nice staff and food is reasonably priced. I got two breakfast burritos and an horchata for $34. One note - they do charge for using your card so just beware. The horchata had an odd after taste and it has a ton of cinnamon. The burrito is a decent size and the red salsa is spicy so if you don't like spice, skip the salsa. I do wish there were more potatoes but overall decent place! read more

Lucy's Mexican Grill - Destin burrito - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

Authentic Mexican food! I live that the tacos have hand made tortillas and their spicy sauces are so good. The meat has really good flavor. This is definitely becoming my go to Mexican spot read more

The service was okay, it's order and get it at the counter. There's a few tables, and they were clean. The counter folks were friendly. The food wasn't awful but it wasn't great either. And, honestly, it was a little expensive for what it was. The weirdest thing was for some reason they put loose shredded cheese ON TOP OF a Chimichanga. Which is very strange... why would they do that? read more

Lucy's Mexican Grill - a chimichanga with sour cream and then shredded cheese on top of the cream for some reason. - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

3-3.5. I love their location off of Blossom Hill Rd. and figured it'd be the same. I did not see that they offer the super chile relleno burrito, but I could have asked which I didn't at the time of ordering. The order did not take long to complete, service was good, and the place was clean. The chile relleno was not cheesy, so it made the burrito dry. The salsa was not spicy, unlike the one from the other location. It is great that they offer chips (complimentary) though. read more

Bummer. I typically get the flautas, which I love. I thought I would try my favorite burrito today: carne asada. I paid for a super burrito, plus cc adder. Asked for no rice, and pico in the side. I got home and started to eat. Seemed bland and something missing. Yup, no cheese, no guacamole, no sour cream. I doctored it as well as I could. But meh. read more

Tasty Mexican food at Lucy's Mexican Grill. I go to the one off Branham Lane, SJ and I've enjoyed every meal I've had from there. In particular, I recommend their breakfast burritos. YUM YUM read more

Passed by the Lucy's on Bascom all the time, but never stopped by. Was super excited that they opened Lucy's right across the street from me and was craving a burrito so had to stop by though I was hesitant by the reviews. The employee in front was super friendly and let me modify my regular burrito by using refried beans instead of pinto and taking out the pico. I ordered al pastor as it's my favorite and saw them cut it off directly the spit and heat it up. I did also get to try all 4 of their salsas and was given a bag of homemade tortilla chips. Their creamy orange sauce is made with habanero and boy is it spicy! It was yummy though and couldn't stop eating it. Their avocado salsa is my second favorite, and the roasted salsa that the worker recommended with the chips was perfect. The al pastor was a tad dry, but with the salsa, I could barely tell. The burrito was a winner and would definitely be back. I did pay with cash as they do charge extra with credit card. read more

Store was very clean, great service, helpful friendly staff. My favorite Is chile Relleno so I ordered the plate to go. Other than it leaking out of container it looked very appetizing. Took my first bite and oh chihuahua I don't think my mouth or tastebuds will ever be the same. This was first time I ever ever experienced that much heat and for sure will not be returning to Lucy's. My Mexican friend who recommended it responded when I mentioned the spicey heat she said that's authentic Mexican flavor. I will go back to my go to at that's Dona Maria on BHR and Los Gatos Blvd in Lunardis Shopping Center where they spice things the way I like it. Degree of spice is a personal taste read more

I hate doing negative reviews. This place open by me and I was excited. Cause I've gone to farther franchises and food quality matched price. Meaning for the price it was good. This location O Service slow O Carne asada my favorite way over cooked and dry as heck. O stringy on hot sauce read more

Just passing through and was craving Mexican food. Seen this little shop so I decided to pull in and put in an order to go. The shop is little but cozy. Only me and 2 other people inside to order. The lady at the counter was very nice and took orders quickly. I ordered the 2 tacos combination plate with carne asada and carnitas, and a side of fries. The side of fries is huge. Took a whole to go container to pack it...lol...the tacos were good and the meat seasoned right. The meats were tender and the salsa o.k., but was a little over spicey. I was bummed when I realized I forgot to order a horchata. Maybe next time. Overall price is a little on the higher side but its expected these days to help a smaller shop stay open. read more

Don't Taco 'Bout Me Third location for this locally-owned owned chain of Mexican taquerias that are all in the Cambrian/South SJ areas. This location is in the same shopping center as the Safeway and many other eateries and shops, including Big E Café, Big Fish, and Domino's Pizza. The Good: *It's on the less busy side of the shopping center facing Ross Ave. *Friendly service *Open for breakfast (8 a.m. M-F & 9 a.m. weekends), lunch, and dinner *Plenty of shared lot parking *Two small tables for outdoor dining *Handmade corn tortillas *The tacos we had were delicious. I particularly liked the Al Pastor and Carissa was crushing on the Carnitas. *Super huge, generous portions The Meh: *Really small interior *Not expensive but not cheap. However they do give you lots of bang for your buck with their generous servings. The Ugly: *4% surcharge on credit cards Conclusion: I'm excited to have an authentic Taco spot close to my house now. Welcome to the neighborhood! read more

There is really no space to sit and eat inside. The meat is dry and flavorless. The Al pastor super taco was super oily and the meat had a lot of fat. The regular beef taco was hard and chewy. Ordering was fast and easy. The orange sauce is super spicy, making it hard to eat. read more

Damn that taco was good. Highly recommend giving it a shot. Good prices, authentic Mexican food. My new favorite Mexican restaurant. read more

Love this place. Been here several times since it opened. Always happy with the food and service. Two things... they charge a surcharge for credit card (like 3%) and they don't have menu on Yelp. I'm uploading a pic to help! read more

Thrilled to have this Lucy's location open! We typically go to the Campbell one and this one is equally as good. Amazing that they are already knocking it out of the park when they just opened! Service is fast and friendly, welcoming us to this new location . We got a carne asada super burrito, chorizo breakfast burrito, horchata, and strawberry agua fresca. Yum yum! The breakfast burrito is so tasty and a good size! The rice is what makes it stand out from others. The super burrito is delicious and the carne asada is so flavorful. It is on the smaller side. Comes with free chips and choice of salsa - green, red, orange sauce - I highly recommend the green salsa which has a great flavor! You can also get a mix, if you want to try all of them. Don't miss out on the agua frescas, they are my guilty pleasure tbh. We get the large size which is plenty for the meal and a sipping delight for later. Today we got horchata (usually always an option here) and strawberry (this one changes). Packed with flavor! Horchata is on point and the strawberry is a flavor bomb of goodness. Stop by and support this wonderful neighborhood chain! read more

Pretty happy that his location finally opened up. I've gone to both the one on Bascom and the other in Blossom Hill and this one is just as good. The asada fries are great, but their burritos and tacos are why I go there. The workers are really nice and helpful. This place is mainly a to go like the others. They do have some seating, but clearly it's to go, which suits me just fine. On a side note, the current number listed on Yelp is incorrect. It lists the Bascom number. This place definitely fills a void for the area, and if you've never been, get the Al Pastor, it'll hit the spot. read more

Beef in the tacos was tasty and grilled with excellent crispness on the edges. Everything was tasty but not intensely. Nicely balanced, not mind blowing. We definitely will return. read more

I bought a cheese quesadilla, watch him make it. He warmed a big flour tortilla and add cheese ( a thin flat piece of cheese )! I'm sorry this was ridiculous, so by the time you ate the quesadilla it was a warmed up tortilla with one small corner of cheese. Not really happy this was a very simple meal, and you're gonna skim on cheese!! Not interested in coming back! read more

Lucy's has absolutely terrific food. The al pastor is fantastic and they have it cooking on a spit all day. Tastes like Mexico. I would say their burritos are better than Adelita's or any place around here. The Carnitas, cabeza, and carne asada are all great and they sell the meats by the lb as well. Do yourself a favor and give Lucy a try. I think you'll agree on the quality. read more

Carne Asada fries are amazing, try the chilequiles, did I mention service is fast? Also free chips. read more

I came here for the first time recently. The food was great! Service, not so good. Maybe the lady was having a bad day. I'll be back and hopefully I'll get better service. read more

I ordered 2 burritos yesterday. One was carnitas and one was al pastor. The carnitas was so dry you can tell it was old meat maybe from a day or 2 before. The pastor was also so dry almost like a dehydrated meat and the rice to meat ratio was pretty bad. If you are really hungry and you need something quick I guess this place will do. But I was very disappointed. read more

Offers typical selections I would expect from a taco truck vendor but managed to be lower quality at a much higher cost. The carne asada was dried out to the point of being unrecognizable and tasted a little strange. Not much incentive to return... read more

I've had better. This is kind of like a hole in the wall in strip mall. Very small. Food was meh. Purchased a steak burrito and the steak was dry. Rest of the ingredients were fine as expected. Complimentary chips and salsa was a big plus hence the two stars. They have a cash price and a card price. I'm not sure if that's legal or not. Honestly, this is a first time last time shop for me. read more

We wanted to love this place because it is so close to home. We've given it three tries because it's a new spot. Unfortunately, every time has been a miss. The food just doesn't have any love. The chile relleno burrito was mostly rice- and the beans were super dry. I feel like the food is rushed, not fresh, and pretty flavorless. read more

One of the best spots I have found for pastor tacos and asada fries! Highly recommend!

Really good food. Never had any issues with it. Highly recommend and I'm looking forward to location off of brenham and Ross

I was excited for this location to open up as I have a service done in that Shopping Center. However, when I stopped by today I was very disappointed that there were only 3 small tables to eat inside, which seemed strange for such a large space. Also they z music was deafening loud, which is totally unnecessary and a distraction. read more
