Inside Good Luck Cafe. It is bright and clean, but it can be noisy as the acustics are not good. Can get real crowded.

After a number of years I decided to give the Good Luck Cafe another shot. The negatives, of course, are the poor parking lot and the bad acoustics...along with the often claustrophobic dining experience. Yet, today the overall dining experience was unexpectedly good. The place was clean and bright. The service was very pleasant and efficient. The prices are the best in town as you might expect at a place that has an older and heavily Hispanic and Mexican local customer base. The food I sampled today was pretty good overall. The pleasant waitress brought a small basket of chips and two tiny cups of salsas to the table. One of the salsas appeared to be red and the other green. They both seemed to be fairly good but it was hard to tell as the parsimonious amount of salsa in each tiny cup was not sufficient to get a good taste. Consequently, salsas that might have been pretty good cannot be properly evaluated. They might want to rethink this. The refried beans were mediocre but everything else was quite good. Rate the refried beans a "C-." The Mexican rice was real good. Rate it a "B+." The green chile con carne had a lot of small potato chunks in it and it was heavily seasoned with cumin. It was not high on the heat. It doesn't look very appealing in the photo I took but it was pretty tasty. I would rate the green chile a "B+." Not the best around town but pretty good. The chile plate was a great deal for the money. I also sampled their smothered red chile meat burrito. Like the green chile it too had some small potato chunks in it but somewhat less than the green chile. As with the green chile the heat was on the mild side. It had a nice chile flavor but it was not quite as robust as some. Yet, this was a good burrito and a great deal for the price. Rate it a "B+." Overall, rate today's dining experience around Three and a Half Stars...meaning a bit above average. The pretty good food and the great prices and the very pleasant service and clean and orderly restaurant go a long way in overcoming the negatives.

We decided to try the Good Luck Cafe for a late lunch today. Very busy place, all the tables were occupied by the time our lunch was completed. The chips and salsa were different, not the usual corn chips. I had the smothered (green) steak burrito, which was one of the BEST steak burritos that I have had in town. It had beans, onions, tomatoes and jalapenos inside with the steak. My wife had the ground beef taco plate. Her lunch was good, but she has had better tacos. Maybe deshebrada (shredded beef ) would have been better. Service was excellent.

Looks good, hope it tastes good as well.

This review is solely based on one visit and I had the shrimp cocktail and that's all. It was pretty good but expected a little more flavor. I'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu. 3 stars for good food. I'll be back.

Wow. My husband and I were visiting the area and ended up eating at Si Señor 3 days in a row. The…read morefood was excellent-so tasty. The staff we're attentive and friendly. We loved the ambiance of the restaurant, with it's beautiful fountain and pretty walls. A must for everyone, especially those who want some tasty green chile.

Yes Sir! Si Senor (sorry, I don't know how to put the squiggly thing above the "n" in Senor) is…read moreperfectly perfect. I mean, the food is wonderfully delicious! I ordered a couple of Chili Rellenos with rice and beans. These are Hatch chilies my good readers. They were unbelievably good. You can't match the Hatch when it comes to chilies. There has to be something in the dirt that makes them superior to any other. I should pick some of that up and sprinkle it on my lawn where the gardener killed the grass. Nope, bad idea. The fricken gophers would be in heaven. The chips and salsa are no slouch either. You get plenty of chips and four different salsas to tempt you. Careful though, the green one has a kick. When asked what kind of sauce I'd like on the rellenos, I told the server, NOT THE GREEN ONE! She laughed and said that they have a mild version. I opted for that. It was perfect for blanketing the entree. I didn't get dessert, cause the hotel where I was staying had a sign by the front desk stating that fresh baked cookies will be served. Well, that was a bust. The cookie lady said that the power where she bakes was out. So no cookies. I guess the old saying is true. It's better to have Flan in the hand than cookies on a sign. Quick Tip: Try to get seated by the indoor fountain. The pleasant sound of the trickling water will compliment your experience. That is unless you've been drinking a few beers. Then it may not be the trickling sound from the fountain that you're hearing.
