Service was good which is the 1 star The food SUCKED!! Nasty flavorless mushy fish taco(yuck to the highest power)! Menudo was very bland. Chips and salsa were good but not like wow this salsa is bomb status... Never ever ever going back to this place... read more

Wife and I had Chili Rellenos. They use Anaheim peppers in their Rellenos. I like Poblanos. I would say they were average on food, service and wait time ( it's Cinco de Mayo). Located in a strip mall. read more

Eat at your own risk.. not only was the food horrible it was very expensive, needless to say I will not be coming back.. the check was so badly written you can't tell what numbers are being charged and the owner gets upset if you ask... like if she's doing you a favor and she threw the calculator at us to check the bill.. I asked myself who does that.. I will not come again even if they paid me.. to expensive and super rude... NEVER again read more

Found on Yelp and saw they had Pozole so of course we had to go. The fact they had four stars helped make my decision. Upon entry, impressed they are an 'A' establishment. The decor is nice, the restaurant clean and quaint, not real large and the bathrooms are clean. I did indeed order Pozole and it was tasty in a very large bowl piping hot. My hubby ordered Flautas. One chicken and one beef with rice and beans. He said they were a bit tasteless and I agreed. Had to add some hot sauce to give it flavor and he usually never has too. The gal asked us how things were and I just had to tell her about the meat. She seemed to appreciate it so hopefully they will work on the meats. The owner, Lucy serves and is very sweet. However would we return, maybe if both my husband and I wanted Pozole: otherwise I would look and try another Mexican restaurant with the same rating. Who knows maybe four stars aren't all they are cracked up to be. read more

Casa de Lucy - A piping hot bowl of Pozole. - Mexican Near Me - Temecula, California

Really cute gem in the midst of Temecula. Coming here for lunch on a Sunday was nice just because it wasn't what I was expecting. You walk in and the place reminds me of a little hole-in-the wall restaurant, and although it's kind of small, the place was full. All of the waitresses were really nice and checked up on us regularly. Right off the bat, they give us complimentary chips and salsa, and unlike other places they dont just give one little bowl of salsa, but actually 3 of them for our party of 5. So I'd say it was more than enough and they even refilled our chips when they were done, and it was nice to see that they were fresh as they came out hot and crispy. Their salsa was also not a fully red one, but more on the brown side and you can tell that it was made from scratch. All of their plates are fairly large and prices range from around $7-12, with the seafood ones/steaks a little more than that, but not more than $20. I ordered the shredded beef flautas and they were pretty bomb, with the wrapping being super crunchy and flaky, kind of reminded me of a croissant filling but not THAT airy. At first glance, you think that it's not a lot of food, but I ended being super full by the end of my meal. Like the guac/sour cream seemed like they were skimping out, but in actuality it was the perfect amount (and besides, that stuff makes you fat. hahahha, so its good they didnt put THAT much even though secretly i love that stuff) Every one else's dish was pretty good as well, like the colorado burrito with pork? i believe, it was really flavorful, and if you've had roasted pig aka lechon, that's what the meat of this burrito tasted like. Overall really good place if you're looking for a nice place to sit down (not like an Albertos, Alerto's or Jilberto's hahah) and really nice staff. p.s. They also support local artists because the artwork they used to decorate the place was for sale :) read more

Carne asada burrito has very little meat and a ton of beans. I don't mind paying $10 for a burrito as long as it has some meat in it.

This is starting to turn into a Saturday morning ritual, but I could eat the chicharron burrito every day lol. Good people...good food

The green Chile enchilada the"suiza" is very good. Home made rice and beans are good to...I found a good mexican restaurant in temecula..will most def. Come back read more

Wife And I have been coming to this place for years. We love the "wet" carne asada burrito and the Chile Colorado is amazing as well. Too many good things to list or try in one sitting. The food is great, the quantities are perfect and Lucy and here staff are always friendly and smiling. This is my favorite Mexican food in Temecula since 1992. A lot changed in the area, with a lot more choices in food, but here the food and friendly service keeps us coming back. read more

Great place! We moved here from San Diego 9 years ago and have been looking for a good place for Mexican food, not fast food style, ever since. Hadn't found anything great until we stumbled across Lucy's after seeing a long line at Mo's and didn't feel like waiting that long. Lucy is so pleasant, the place is very clean and the food is delicious. This will definitely be one of our "go to" places from now on. read more

Food here is not all that great for a Mexican restaurant..... service is also a issues not prompt and customer service not great as well .... read more

Love the food! The only reason I gave 4 stars is because, they need a host at the door, or at least a bell that they can hear. Everytime we been there, we have to either wait or go back toward the kitchen and let them know if we can sit down. We really don't like that. The things we put up with for authentic Mexican food. read more

We placed a catering order for our 7/8yo baseball team, parents & siblings, about 45 people. We knew we were in great hands when Lucy, herself, picked up the phone and took fantastic care of us. She was easy to work with, accommodating & even agreed to deliver last minute, when our schedule changed. The food was delicious and everyone ate everything! If we return to that area, our coach has already said that Casa de Lucy's will be on the menu again! read more

This is my second time eating here and I am so happy to have found a New Mexican restaurant! Their food is amazing and very authentic. I had their Chile relleno and enchilada combo this time and it was very cheesy and delicious! They have great customer service and very friendly! I highly recommend trying read more

They lied about their hours. Wasn't able to enjoy it. Was really looking forward to it. Maybe next time

Quick and easy home-style Mexican food? Yes please! Family-owned, this place was really quiet when we came for a Saturday breakfast, but we were told by locals it gets super packed. I ordered chorizo with papas, beans on the sides. Everything came with hot tortilla and complimentary chips & salsa. All the food came out hot and fresh and def did not taste from the can. I would def come back! read more

Delicious! Came here for soup and we had menudo and pozole and it was amazing! Chips were hot and crunchy and salsa was fresh. Yummm

We love Casa de Lucy! We come here at least once a week! We eat here so much that Ms Lucy already our orders she doesn't even give us the menu anymore! Her chips and salsa are the best we just recently went to Javier's in La Jolla and their salsa was okMs Lucy's salsa still the best read more

We love eating here. Always consistent and quick. I like the get the grilled chicken with rice and beans and it's always cooked perfectly. The hubby and kids also finish their plates. He loves the pasole and they all get the chicken suizas enchiladas. We are super thankful that there is usually no wait. It's low key and delicious. Super friendly and attentive staff. read more

I have grown fond of Casa de Lucy. Although not the best Mexican Restaurant I've ever been to, we often lose sight of the good things you should expect from a small restaurant. What I enjoy about CDL is that I can count on the essentials. Good service, cleanliness, nice decor and good food. I guess you can say they consistent . I have only been here for breakfast and my favs. Are the chilaquiles, chicharron con huevos and the machaco. No, CDL will not blow you away but you can count on it for a nice meal if that what you're looking for. read more

My husband and I were on our way home from a wedding in Encinitas and I had a craving for chilaquiles. I came across Casa de Lucy and just by photos I had to stop here. Sorry for not posting photos but the food was way too good!!! We were greeted right away. Chips, salsa right away & our drink orders taken right away. I ordered the chilaquiles, eggs, beans. My husband had to order the same. We dusted the whole plate. SO AMAZING! Authentic Mexican food. The whole restaurant is kept very clean and the environment is very welcoming. I RECOMMEND!!!!!! read more

Watch your bill at this place twice we reviewed our bill and it had over charged . Last time I will be going in decent food but there are other great Mexican food places that are honest. ! read more

Found this place on yelp while we were visiting Temecula. Went for breakfast. Food has really good favor. Micheledas were ok. The waitresses were very attentive and made you feel very welcome. read more

This place is really good, the food is great and the service is too. However, I just paid $28.00 for two cheese enchiladas rice and beans and a small side of rice and beans for my son. I don't think so, it's a basic plate with no meat. Probably won't be going back. read more

Place is flavorless got a michelada and menudo both had zero flavor don't recommend this place

Excellent traditional Mexican food. Had the menudo and it was delish! We will be back ;)

I'm hard to please when it comes to Mexican food, since most use canned and boxed ingredients. This place was all homemade. Even the flour tortillas, were handmade like our tias! Food was great, delicious salsa. The place was spotless and the service was good. A gem in Temecula. read more

Always really good food. My favorite sit-down Mexican restaurant in the area. The carnitas and menudo are my favorite. Their Micheladas are yummy. I prefer to support small business and this restaurant never disappoints. I've brought multiple people here and they all like it as well. read more

Although the restaurant is closed on Mondays, it happened to be open for Valentine's Day. We have tried many Mexican food restaurants in the area over the years and have always been disappointed. We had heard good things about Casa de Lucy and happened to be driving by so stopped to give it a try. We were immediately greeted by the servers, and Lucy herself. The food was amazing. We had barely sat down and were brought warm chips and one of the best salsas I've ever had. The chili relleno and beans (my plate) were spot on! BF got shredded beef taco and chicken enchilada with all rice. Delicious! We took home leftovers and 2 hours later it was all gone. Thank you Lucy, for being so kind. Looking forward to seeing you again! read more

We went down to Temecula to watch my nephew's CIF football playoff game. Since you can never judge traffic going down there, we decided to leave early and have dinner before the game. We looked on Yelp and found this place close to the stadium. We arrived around 5:30 and it's a in a strip mall a few places down from Temecula Bowling Lanes. There are about 15 tables. The decor is a little older. They start you with some chips and salsa. Both are homemade and good. I got two chicken tacos and a chicken sope. Wife got menudo and a carne asada taco. Everything we tried was excellent! If we are ever in the area we'd be back. The service was a little slow, but nothing too bad. I'd give this place 4.5 stars. The only deduction would be the older decor. If you are in the area and want to taste some really good Mexican food, check this place out. read more

Best Mexican Food I've ever tasted! I would say better than Baja. If you love to enjoy your food and the atmosphere. Absolutely come here!

Terrible service, never got as far as trying the food. Certainly will never be back to give them a shot, either. Went in to order a Classic Breakfast Burrito to-go. Helped myself to a menu near the register because the lady was too busy yapping it up with the cook. After deciding on the burrito, she hollered to him to start it. She gave me the total of $8.59. I asked if they charged for salsa or something? She said no, the burrito is a dollar more now. Their menu states it's $6.95, not $7.95. Until their menu is updated to reflect the current price where patrons see a price and decide off that price, surprising people when they pay is not cool. Give me back my money...you don't deserve my business! Bye! read more

Excellent mexican food! I have been here several times & the food is always consistent. Staff is efficient & friendly. Add to that the very cleanest eatery in Temecula Valley. Love, Love, Love! read more

NOTE: If you are not a local of the area, you probably won't enjoy the food. I could write a lot about this place but it just isn't worth it. This restaurant offers below average Mexican food. It seems that all the good reviews can be attributed to the fact that Temecula is a redneck Texas-esq town caught in the state of California. Given the low quality of other restaurants in the area, I can see why this place would get above average reviews considering the competition. However if you're not a local and are used to great Mexican food in San Diego or Los Angeles, avoid this restaurant. It will only disappoint. read more

Best mexican food in Temecula, for the following reasons: - Excellent service (Lucy is there and in the trenches) - Phenominal food! My fav chile rellenos and cheese enchiladas - Clean restaurant - Close by, great location, plenty of parking - Food comes in a timely manner and is HOT! What else could you ask for?? I still like La Cocina when I want to switch it up, but this is the place to be! read more

I feel let down after reading the good reviews on here! Where to start... The chips were not good, the salsa was the fire-roasted type and fine. All 3 of my party ordered enchiladas and the sauce was not good. I can't even say it tasted like it came out of a can for sure, because I've tasted better enchilada sauce out of a can. We also had one pork tamale in the group and it was bordering inedible. Dry and had a funny taste to it. read more
