Compré un burrito de asada en este lugar . . No tenía arroz y el 80 % eran solo frijoles ,llamé a la encargada y me dijo que normalmente le ponen 3 cucharadas de carne , creo que han de utilizar una cháchara sopera porque no tenia nada de carne , puros frijoles. Aléjese de esta lujar . SE PASAN !!!! read more

If you're looking for a casual spot with great food and excellent service, El Taco Lucas in Corona is a nice mom and pop Mexican restaurant with a casual, warm, and inviting vibe with beige booths inside that are comfortable. The hard shell tacos we had were perfectly crisp without being too oily, which made them very light and satisfying. The fresh, flavorful cheese adds the perfect finishing touch to every bite. The service here is also friendly and attentive, making the whole experience wonderful. Love that they serve ice water and have utensils and napkins out too. Makes it easy to eat here and enjoy! read more

El Taco Lucas - Tacos de carne asada - Mexican Near Me - Corona, California

Prior to Covid review. 4/5 Excellent customer service and the portions are big and feeling. Depending on the food item that is ordered it can be a bit pricey. I do like there many options on the menu and it caters to people different palettes/ food preferences. They also sell canned soda and authentic Mexican sodas such as Jarritos and Mexican Coke! Growing up with my immediate family, yes I would recommend El Taco Lucas. Post covid- review 3/5 However, I do enjoy my buche tacos. Depending on the type of meat you order the quality has gone down. Always at this place the buche it's too overcooked and it's always like a pinkish color. I wouldn't recommend there artificial "agua frescas " way too processed and sweet. The only flavor that's good is the Horchata. They charge extra for extra salsa per small individual container. The prices overall have gone up. (Tariffs and inflation). The cashier attitude depends who it is and can be in a really good customer service skills. However, sometimes if they are too overwhelmed or understaffed the cashier mood changes. They can be short and impatient with their customers. At other Mexican food places I've had and tasted way better quality of the buche (pork stomach) meet. It's looks more natural and authentic at other Mexican food restaurants. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant as I am assured a great meal each time. The owner can be found behind the counter personally serving you during the day, as she has been doing for the past 35+ years. Authentic -- with flavorful entrees no matter what you order. In the most recent visit, I had the wet, all-meat burrito with half red sauce and half green. Highly recommended. read more

Very clean restaurant with lots of seating. Friendly people. Good flavors with the food, lengua was very tender. Homemade tastes. read more

Thank gosh, their hottest sauce has a kick, enough to make your nose run, but isn't brutal...

On sat 8/24 we placed a phone order for two orders of menudo and one breakfast plate The breakfast plate was good. Our son loved it. Good size portion. The menudo was the worst menudo we've ever eaten. It smelled foul as soon as we took the tops off to serve into a bowl. The broth was disgusting and the meat was foul. It's a shame because we like supporting small local businesses. We will continue to purchase our menudo at Ochoa's Carniceria on Smith and 6th st. read more

This place is Pretty good.. I like the new Dining room area.. the salsa is really good.. Wish they had chips. I ordered a bean and cheese burritos and is was delicious. You order at counter and then they call you "by plate name" one at a time.. So we kept walking back and fourth to get food and everyone eating (while hot) before everyone can sit. We had a group of 10 people. Wish would bring food to table if going to do it that way.. but overall this place is good. read more

This place has been on my list to try for a long time. All of their advertising videos make the food look so yummy! Unfortunately, we were left very disappointed. The burritos are super greasy and falling apart. The carne asada has lots of gristle in it; I had to spit it out. My son's taco had a wooden stick in it! He spit it out, it was pretty long, resembled a thick toothpick. We won't be back. read more

Love this spot. We order the combination burritos which are amazing! Their tacos are great as well. Cant go wrong here.

This place always hits the spot! Love their food, their portions and their price. It's definitely comfort food.

My husband and I are Asians but we've had a fair share of tacos all over OC and LA, so I think we're allowed to give a review :) My hubby loves their tripa and carne asada tacos. He says that their tripa is crispy and he loves the flavor of their asada and salsa. If there's one thing he would change, is that he wishes they made the corn tortillas fresh but he still would rather choose this place than the street vendors. I always get their chicken enchilada and chili relleno combination and I love it! Their chicken is juicy because they use dark meat and it even has chunks of tomato! They serve their food on a paper plate and you have to pick it up yourself but that's okey with me because it means I don't have to tip and save money! Their tables and bathroom are clean though! read more

I have been going here for years and years and they never disappoint. My favorite is their el pastor. Friendly service and it's so nice they have a nice sit down restaurant now. So happy to see them doing good. If you want good tacos this is the place! read more

First time here. Came to try out their taco Tuesday special. Friendly cashier. I ordered a Coke can and 6 small street tacos, hoping they were 1.29 or around there. Total came out to $14 Turns out the Tuesday "special" is $2 for the street tacos. The food was good, although the asada was better than the pastor, I personally wouldn't come back hoping for a good deal on a Tuesday! read more

Never disappoints on a Tuesday. Hands down best authentic Mexican tacos. My only grievance is not ordering more. read more

The food is excellent here! Had the Carne asada burrito and 2 al pastor tacos. Was great and the staff is very friendly! :)

Husband and I stopped by for a quick lunch today and we are both happy we did. We had tacos and enchiladas. Everything was bomb!!! The green sauce on the enchiladas was SO good. The chicken was so moist and had so much flavor. My husband loved the carne asada. I have previously had the taquitos and they were also delicious. The staff is also so nice and food was ready quick. Def know why they've been in business as long as they have. 5 stars!!! read more

Very fast, good taste. I asked for eggs over easy but got scrambled, these taste way better. I'm not a big bean eater but these are fantastic. I will return! read more

the food was 40 bucks for 2 sopes 1 burrito and a drink. 40 BUCKS!! WTF I asked the lady for guacamole on the side while ordering. I thought it would come in the large sum I was charged. I asked the lady for the guacamole and she asked me for more money. I WAS SHOCKED... I asked for my money back and went down the street for same items for 25 bucks. And next to the Clinic. read more

Excellent food and service. We had not visited this place in a while, for no reason. The beans and rice were excellent, and very flavorful. The sopes were on fire! Loaded with deliciousness is the only way I can describe them. The chile relleno's we're on point and amazing. Portion sizes for the combo plates were generous. We will definitely be back to try other dishes. This place deserves more than 5 stars! read more

Then of course got a cheese quesadilla cause i always crave a quesadilla next time want to put a meat in there! I totally recommend if you heard bad reviews they either went on a bad day .... It happens.... Or their taste buds don't like them! Go try them!! read more

Really tasty meats, fast service. Been coming here for years to get my quick Mexican lunch fix.

I've been coming to this restaurant for years. There have been months where it was at least once per week. This restaurant is a must visit. There are a lot of Mexican restaurants to choose from in Corona but the food here beats all the others. The staff and the cooks are very friendly and they have expanded the restaurant to create more seating. You won't be disappointed with anything you choose to order from their menu. read more

I went here for lunch , it was horrible! Simply no flavor. Salsa is horrible. Just save your money or go to McDonald's. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover. This place has delicious food. Service is excellent. Ambiance is great.

This morning I went to go get a breakfast burrito at 9 AM when they opened and the cook told me he needed 10 more minutes and they would be ready to go so I waited and by the time I went in to order it seems like it was the owner a woman and she was so rude like I've never experienced at any restaurant ever before in my life! She was so inconsiderate even after me waiting 10 minutes because I had to order. A burrito with over easy eggs which they have done for me A few times and all of a sudden this lady said no we don't make them like that and after I waited for 10 minutes extra because they were not ready to open up at the time that they open yes she did not want to accommodate me out of courtesy and respect! read more

Ok but not even good. A little pricey for hardshell tacos $2.99 each plus the shredded beef in the tacos were dry and tough to chew. Tortas were soggy. Street tacos were ok. Gave them a try bc someone recommended them, at least I tried them. read more

This place is good but take a bite out of your food before you leave to make sure it's correct. The young lady that took my order, wrote it down incorrectly. I ordered 2 Al pastor burritos and received 2 carne asada burritos. After getting home I realized after taking a bite that it was wrong. I called to let her know that the order was wrong and she wanted me to bring the order back. I had a long day at work, didn't feel like driving back. Maybe ask her to repeat the order, I don't know. Al pastor doesn't sound like carne asada does it??? There is a taco place on Main St. that I'll be going to instead of this place. read more

I love El Taco Lucas. So many options in Corona for Mexican food but my absolute favorite go to are them.
