Lucero’s

Bland, small for the price, and generally lackluster. There’s way better food in Denver

The place is painted with Denver Bronco colors.
Dodgy neighborhood, marginal food but cheap prices.
I was expecting some authentic Mexican food but it was standard cafeteria food.
It was a gorgeous day when I visited — super sunny and clear.

Great burrito but could have been bigger for the price. I was still hungry afterwards. I will return to try more and different plates.

My cousin brag me here. And i was Far from satisfied with the chili rellnos burrito i
was not good. taste plain and needs more Flavor. What a waste of my time N 11 dollars i paid.

The best way to describe their food: a family-​run version of a national Mexican fast food chain… from their unnaturally white, crunchy taco shells to their weirdly-​bright orange-​colored shredded cheese. Their only meat choices are ground beef and shredded chicken, both which taste like something you’d make at home using prepackaged seasoning packets and a crock pot. The bean paste in the «beef and bean burrito» looks like it was squirted directly from the can. The hot sauce looks spicy but tastes a bland, watered-​down Tapatio.
I hate to write such a poor review for any family-​run establishment but there are a lot of better places within a few blocks of this place.

There is nothing I crave more then their chili cheese fries! Been going for at least 15 years and can’t wait to get back to denver to get my fix!

I have lived near this quaint little Mexican restaurant for about a year. If you don’t know its there, you would likely never go there because it is, strangely, smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood surrounded by houses. A couple of weeks ago I finally ventured in for a breakfast burrito (they are only open 6:30−4) and it was amazing. I’ve since went back 5 times, including this morning, it that tells you anything. I am a fan of Santiagos and I think this place tops it for authentic mexican food. They grill the tortillas on the flat top which ad a nice flavor that you don’t usually get. The salsa is very fresh tasting. The very very very best part of is the refined beans. In a burrito, on a combo plate, or on the side, they are AMAZING. Beans, in my opinion, are typically and afterthought and a filler. These beans have the most incredible flavor! I could eat them alone as a meal. They also have a few non-​mexican items on the menu like burgers and fries. I had the fries, they were great too! Nice and crispy. Try it out and I promise you will be back.
