    Breakfast! Bacon breakfast burrito and eggs, potatoes and toast plate!

    We were looking for a different place to eat when we stumbled upon this place, next to Unincorporated Coffee. Food is absolutely delicious! Place was a bit quiet, but I'm guessing it was because people were still at Easter Mass. Anyway, the owner was kind, and allowed for plate customization! Can't wait to come back! Thanks for being open on Easter!

    I love that we have a locals only place like Lucys. If you're looking for a good place for breakfast or lunch that you can walk to in Altadena then Lucys is great. I have had veggie omelette and it was delicious. Portions are always big and service fast. I love the murals and music and it feels good to eat some where that's not gentrified like next door.

    We stopped by to have breakfast on a Sunday morning. We were the only customers inside the restaurant but we decided to still try it out. We ordered the veggie omelette, house potatoes, and sourdough bread. The food was served in less than ten minutes. The meal was decent and I enjoyed the tasty potatoes, the only negative was the old piece of cantaloupe that was included on the plate. They also had donuts for sale from a shop on Lake Ave and it was super delicious.

    From the first day I walked in, you would've thought we were old friends. He makes you feel right at home, always a warm welcome. And his food!!! Always cooked to perfection. Since they say a picture is worth 1000 words, I've included some for your eyes to feast on. Let me just tell you, as pretty as the dish is served, it tastes just as good as it looks or better!! Juan is just a genius! Gracias Don Juan. Siempre quedo Bien llena y contenta!

    A no frills neighborhood restaurant offering a quick, authentic meal, dining in or to go, served with a friendly smile. Their menu has the classic Mexican food standards (burritos, tacos, enchiladas, plates of various meats) as well as a variety burgers, club sandwiches, and soups. Assorted pastries, coffee, and their delicious jumbo-sized breakfast burritos make for a convenient stop in the morning. They recently have started some much needed clean up to the restaurant. The fresh paint and new counter help, but new tables and chairs would make it more comfortable and appealing to customers that would rather dine in, creating a draw for this community establishment.

    If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this place is a must! We come here often for…read morebreakfast because we always crave their fresh, homemade food. Everything we've tried has been absolutely delicious, and you can really taste the quality and authenticity in every dish. The service is consistently fantastic--quick, professional, and genuinely friendly. Our food always comes out fast, and the restaurant is clean with a beautiful, authentic atmosphere. Another bonus is the convenient parking in the back, which makes every visit easy. This has become one of our favorite breakfast spots, and it's a place we happily recommend to friends and family. If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine and excellent service, you won't be disappointed!

    I love this place so I'll just admit my bias now. Authentic Mexican. Parking in back or if you're…read morelucky on street. A lot of local workers hit this place so heads up try before or after lunch. My favorite is the vegetarian burrito. I have to ask for additional sauce because dripping on my shirt is part of the cost I am willing to pay for that burrito. My family also discovered El Caporal does tamales for the holiday season (special order). Usually I take my food to go but I have also sat inside with the colorful walls. Service is friendly and pretty quick unless they're slammed. But worth the wait. Not fancy but damn good. So glad it's near me!!
