Highly recommend!! I don't know why this place is not fully booked all the time. Honest people work here to make the most authentic and delicious food. We always tip extra because the menu is so decently priced. read more

Food was very good,but the service, the worse i ever experienced, server never come back to check on us, food toke for ever, and only me and my granddaughter was in there.. order a torta to go, had to wait about 40 min for.. really bad service , it feel like they don't care for costumers!!! read more

I placed a to-go order and ended up waiting about 45 minutes for a semita and two orders of tostadas. Unfortunately, the food was cold by the time I received it. I also noticed that the semita was unusually small, especially considering these sandwiches are typically known for being generously sized. I initially thought it may have just been an off day, but I've consistently heard similar experiences from friends and family as well. I hope the restaurant can improve both its service times and food consistency moving forward. read more

The service was terrible for bringing us the food; we waited 40 minutes and, worst of all, the food and tortillas were cold. The service from the waitresses was awful; they never appeared to ask if we needed anything. Very bad experience, I do not recommend this place. read more

Great Mexican restaurant food is authentic but bring your a-game for Spanish because no English here . I have eaten here a few times and it has always been great read more

The food is good, it's not cheap but not crazy expensive either so it's reasonable, 3 tacos for $15 basically $5 each.. they lose a star for not accepting any debit cards for payment and only cash and they also lose another star because no one speaks English .. I get it's a Spanish restaurant but if you're answering the phones a bilingual person should it least be able to take the order on the phone.. read more

My boyfriend and I had a late lunch here on a weekend back in February. I had heard some good reviews so we finally had to check this place out. The food was just ok; nothing flavor wise stood out to us. We ordered a carnitas torta, chorizo gordita, choriqueso, chicken huarache and mushroom quesadilla. The flavors were lacking especially the torta, choriqueso and huarache. read more

I ordered pozole like the picture on the menu. And they gave me chicken soup. I ask why but the waitress were rude instead of helpful. I ain't coming here again read more

No accountability for their mistakes. They mislead customers with pictures on the menu and don't tell you it's unavailable and serve you with a replacement that is of lower quality without adjusting the price. The waitresses were very combative and placed the error on us several times. read more

San Lucas located in East Camden provided an authentic mexican experience. I have actually ordered from this restaurant several times, but never made it out there until this week. I just recently visited Mexico and was looking for some good authentic Mole that would qwell my sweet, nutty and slightly bitter desires. San Lucas was able to achieve that and more! The decor was pretty great and the service was superb. And now, the FAPS breakdown! Food quality - The food was spectacular and was as authentic of a Mexican experience that youre going to get. I had the mole poblano and my buddies got some burritos and tacos which were also fantastic. The presentation was alright, but the savory flavors made up for it. For dessert we had the tres leches cake, which was nothing to really right home about but wrapped up the night well. Ambiance - Its great for small or big groups and its definitely a casual environment. Big room with several tables, at the front you can check out their beverage selection (get yourself some sugar cane sodas PLEASE) and their desserts. Its got a bit of a cheesy vibe but they make it work. Plenty of street parking in the area! Price - $ - Food is pretty cheap here and the quantity is HUGEEEE. No one else makes this quantity of food. Its the best quantity out there for the price. Anyone else who says they make more is a disgrace. Theyre lying and telling you fake news. (bad attempt at trump ahah) Service - They were very fast and polite. Doesnt particularly scream the cleanest restaurant in the world, but I didnt see anything that really showed it either. read more

San Lucas Mexican Restaurant - Great dinner at San Lucas - Mexican Near Me - Camden, New Jersey

If you really like flavorful Mexican food, you will love this place. They bring out the "nachos" with the refried beans and fresh cheese on top while you're waiting for your main meal to come out. They have red and green sauces - I really liked the spicy green sauce. We tried out a few things - lots of tacos (pork, lamb, and chorizo). The pork was my favorite. I'm glad we tried the lamb, but it was too fatty and chewy. The chicken enchiladas with the mole were sooo good. I would go back just for the smoky and delicious mole sauce. The rice and beans served with it were pretty good. The torta was a little disappointing. It was served on a baguette instead of a torta roll. I'm glad we tried it, but I wouldn't get it again. The food is good, but don't expect your food to come out really hot. Despite some misses in the food, I think overall, this place had some dishes that are worth coming back for. Unrelated, but in terms of location , this place is located in a not so great part of NJ (Camden). You can park right on the main road or a side street and not be too far from the restaurant. There is plenty of foot traffic along the way anyway. read more

This place is such a gem in the city of Camden. I stopped going to Chipotle in favor of the burritos at San Lucas. I usually get either the chicken quesadillas or the chicken burritos. The burrito here is my ultimate favorite. It comes with pico de gallo, green salsa, and red salsa. With price and size of the portions you end up leaving very satisfied. Everything is fresh, from the soft& savory chicken to the vegetables - i always enjoy getting burritos here. Recently I opted to try the carne asade especial which was also very tasty, but I prefer their chicken dishes to their beef. The parking around here is also a bit more accessible than other places in Camden. read more

San Lucas Mexican Restaurant - amazing: enchiladas / tacos / horchata - Mexican Near Me - Camden, New Jersey

Honestly, I used to LOVE this place. Whoever was the original owner, made the place amazing. However, now, whoever runs this place just has no regard for anyone who doesn't speak Spanish. I'm an asian customer and I SPEAK Spanish, and their service is STILL terrible. We've been hung up on multiple times. And sometimes even the orders that I do place in Spanish they still get wrong. If it was purely based on food, they'd get a higher rating. But add the service into it, and they suck. Tostadas are the thing to get here read more

Every single thing I have ordered from this place is awesome. But I would definitely recommend the tacos outside of the establishment. They are usually open late and the service is pretty fast depending on the day. read more

Came for Birria tacos and it was a strong no for me. The shell was a soft tortilla with no taste. The meat was like a watered down roast beef. All Together my "birria" taco tasted like barely seasoned paper towel wrapped in a paper plate with lime on the side. And not to mention the servers attitude was something else. I give them a e for effort read more

Great fresh authentic Mexican Food. Not so fast food. Everything is made to order using their family recipes! Try the tacos al pastor, mole poblano, piña colada, quesadillas. The menu offer great options. If you are in a rush visit a Mexican Chain but if you want a great home cooked Mexican meal come to San Lucas. Servers don't speak English so be mindful and you will have a delicious meal. read more

Tacos again... this time Al pastor Tacos! And street corn... so coming here was a bit of an adventure... it's a place I've passed before but wouldn't have thought anything of it... we didn't come to sit in we ordered from outside the restaurant... we went strictly for the Al Pastor tacos... while we were waiting to order decided to get some corn which is opposite the grill. It was hands down the best corn I have in recent memory period... as I write this, I think I'm going to take the drive to get some now... luckily it's not too far... I'm seriously considering it... so as we were waiting to order not only did I get to see them change the meat which is a definite sight to see but we also saw them making a sandwich which looked amazing... we looked at each other and knew we had to add that to our order... we probably waited a while but honestly it didn't seem like that long because I was mesmerized by just everything going on back there... the huge spiral of pork, pineapple & lime... the Tortas and tacos being made... the tortIllas being prepped... loved it... on and the smell of it all... so once we ordered and watched our food get prepared we kind of both look at each other with excitement... we got our food and it's one of those orders where you are like ok so some had to hold the food the entire way how and guard it with their life... luckily it's a straight shot home... meanwhile the car is being filled with all the goodness that's too come... so first the tacos... they are no frills all flavor... spritz with some lime and top with some sauce and it's a party come to life in your mouth... I thought I was at peak... that is until I tried the sandwich now this bread is like a roll/cross iant/pretzel... it's so soft and sweet and crisp... it's seeded I don't even like seeded buns in my experience they add nothing... in this instance it adds everything... then the meat the same meat as the taco meat we stuck with the Al Pastor all the way so it's the same flavor, but it's not, it's perfected! I ate it plain and in silence... nothing need to be said but wow... and on that note.. I'm heading to San Lucas... maybe I'll catch a flick this time but no promises :) read more

This is a truely Hidden gem in the heart of Camden. Great tacos , friendly staff. Will definitely nicely make this a pit stop in weekly / monthly trips. I just don't know if they still do the weekend thing outside where you can get the tacos outside under the tent on weekends ?? I saw that video and thought it was cool, but didn't find them outside when I went the other day... if you know. Please send me a message. Otherwise. I think I'm heading there again today!! Lol read more

I am not sure about this place... The seafood is delish Will not recommend the burritos The tacos are real good but the ones from outside say that when you are ordering (De Afuera) special plates are definitely good Here's the bad part they over charge you and I am serious too one time I have had enough and asked what is the price on the seafood and a special platter she told me 38.50 I asked why is it 52.25 on the receipt then ? She said oh my mistake that's it I just need to pay attention on what they charge me next time read more

This place is definitely hands down my favorite place for Mexican food! It's authentic, it's fresh and oh so yummy! I highly recommend San Lucas. The waitress and staffs are superb. Definitely stop in here if ever in the area!!!! Pros: * Food is great and fresh * Resturant is clean * Prices are reasonable * Staff is super friendly * Portions are huge! Cons: * English is limited (well you are in a Mexican Resturant) but they work with you to get everything correct. My orders are hardly ever wrong and if it was it was still delicious! * In the heart of Camden, NJ (definitely not the best area) so park near the resturant if possible read more

Food was amazing and service was excellent. Very authentic! The sodas were hot when they came out but the food is still 5 star.

This place is a gem! I've been to several authentic Mexican places in the area, but this one is definitely the best! The food is fresh and delicious, and very authentic. The enchiladas were amazing! Once you have authentic Mexican food, Chipotle and Don Pablo's are never the same. Now, the only drawback to this restaurant is that the some of waitresses don't speak much English. I mean, it is a MEXICAN restaurant. However, the waitresses will work with you to get your order correct. read more

Food is amazing and authentic ! The mole enchiladas were ....well there's just not a good enough word ... best mole I've had in America, the red and green salsa were delicious but ym favorite was the green salsa , the viva Mexico platter was so good , rice was flavorful and cooked perfectly cooked the shrimp was juicy and loved the grilled flavor on it. The service was OK my waitress was nice but she was a little loopy. The fresh pineapple juice was amazing. I'll definitely be coming back read more

I really can't give San Lucas any fewer than five stars. As annoyingly superlative as this will sound, it's simply the best Mexican food I've ever had. Their bright, picture-filled bilingual menu is full of amazing dishes. It's hard to choose, there're so many things to pick from. I've been here for dinner with big groups twice now, and each time I've had one of the especiales that come with an assortment of tastes. On my first visit I had the El Azteca, and this past time I had the Cecina Poblana. Both were delicious and I liked that they had a variety of things to try. read more

I waited 30 minutes for a steak burrito and 3 tacos. 30. And on top of that it made me late to work when I had enough time to get there. I wasn't expecting the burrito to have big pieces of meat or even lettuce. The tacos were okay, the green salsa was bomb not going to lie about that. And a bummer is they only accept cash. read more

I have been brought here twice, each time on a date but by 2 different guys. Go figure! The lady at the counter recognized me and smiled cuz she knew I was with a guy different from the last time.

I like the atmosphere also here. Ombi once is important on a date, that's obvious. I'll definitely come back here. read more
