This place is fantastic!!! It taste like food you get in Mexico. The potions are huge so split. Wife said guacamole was close to orgasmic. Picky kids even liked it. Tortillas are made fresh and damn fantastic. Cheese did not come from Differences than other less traditional Mexican restaurants: Chips are thicker than normal restaurants. Queso is thinner. read more

I ordered Beef nachos received to-go order under a bed of lettuce, a few slices of tomato and a spoonful of sour cream. That's a clever way to hide the meat and substitute beans . The tortillas were crunchy and tasty, though. I was disappointed I had gotten excellent meals previously. Maybe another day. read more

Food is always good and the service is excellent. Always greeted with a smile. We always call our order in and few times we just walked in and ordered and the wait time is not long. read more

I have had their breakfast and lunch/dinner and I must say the food is amazing! I had the french toast with the breakfast burrito and it was delicious! French toast is a must get every single time! As for lunch/dinner, that damn carne asada burrito is sooo good! The tacos are amazing too. Another thing I really enjoyed was the red sauce they give you with the burrito. That sauce is so good as well! I also buy an extra one. As for sweets, the churro is delicious as well! Must have! The service is amazing. It's usually the guy behind the counter and he is very polite and cool. The lady in the morning was very nice as well! Amazing customer service! read more

Lucy Mexican Restaurant - French Toast - Mexican Near Me - Palmetto, Georgia

This place finally answered my call! Lol okay so my review is going to be a bit short due to minimal interaction with the restaurant staff. Restaurant: small and don't have a seating area, only for takeout. Service: the gentleman answered and took my order efficiently! He gave me plenty of options to choose from (for my tacos) and didn't sound agitated or anything so that was very much appreciated. Food: now the important part: I ordered 4 shrimp tacos (to share of course! Lol) and they tasted good. The shrimp was grilled, well seasoned, but the tortilla was store bought and thick. They used lettuce, cheese, and sour cream & tomatoes (it's what comes on the supreme). I will say it gave me homemade taste. So if you're looking for something more flavorful with homemade sauce, you may want to go to Don Nachos up the street and pay $20 for 4 shrimp tacos. Overall this place is a great alternative to Don Nachos up the street for takeout only, due to the reasonable prices & fast service! We only paid $15 for 4 which is good. read more

Always great! Large portions and very reasonably priced. Small restaurant that serves excellent food

Dining at Lucy's is like walking into your families own kitchen. Mom and dad are in the semi-open kitchen making everything from scratch. Their son is out front working hard. The chips are light and airy with a great crunch. The salsa is freshly made and very tasty with a medium amount of spice. We had the mushroom burritos, filled full with beans, rice, chopped tomatoes, avocado slices, lettuce and wonderfully cooked mushrooms. The homemade flour tortilla is grilled and has a slight crunch - one of the best burritos you can have. And it's huge! If we are ever back in the area we will stop back. If you're on one of the highways near this gem, it's certainly worth driving a few miles out of your way! read more

Lucy Mexican Restaurant - Front of restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Palmetto, Georgia

It's decent. Did not want to drive further and found this spot on Yelp. It's a hole in the wall but it's clean and the food is made to order and fresh. We liked the crispy thicker chips and salsa. They don't have fountain drinks so you have to get the canned or bottled drinks. They have tap water and unlimited tea. I had a taco salad which is smaller the amount I'm used to at other locations. The salad bowl used is basically the same as the fried nachos uncut. My son had the nachos with chicken. They said that it's marinated shredded chicken but he said the flavor is okay. The service is good. The young man is polite and checked on us consistently. We were the only ones there eating so I'm not sure what it would be like if all five tables were full. It's decent spot. The flavors are just okay. I may try it again if I don't want to drive to Fayetteville or downtown. read more

To go order Was ok. Ordered 10 hard taco, cheese dip, and chips. Chips are extra when to go lol. Came home and they were deep fried flour tocas. Not bad, but not authentic corn tortillas. Their chips were also flour and not corn. Again, not bad but also not what I was expecting. The signs they have taped up front make them seem like they're pissed off with customers asking for chips and among other things. The meat lacked salt but the other flavors were there. The cheese dip was liquid so I brought it home and fixed it by adding pepper jack cheese and sliced jalapenos to thicken it up. read more

The food was delicious. The homemade chips were thick and golden brown. Beware: the verde cheese enchiladas were a slow burn. Wasn't expecting that. LASTLY, the item I judge Mexican restaurants the most on: the salsa. It was perfect amount of fresh herbs, medium chunkiness, and tasted great! The staff was very friendly. We will be back! read more

This place will blow you away, don't be judgy and be patient, because these meals are cooked to order.

We came across this little jewel on the way home. We pulled up and were a little worried because it was so small. We were warmly welcomed by our waitress and pleasantly surprised by the food. Everything we ordered was hand made and made to order. It was like stepping into grandma's kitchen. If you happen to be going through, I highly recommend this little restaurant! You will not be disappointed!!! read more

Authentic, delicious food! Great selection of food items and wonderful staff. Excellent service and food quality - and good choices for kids

Food was ok, service the same. Definitely authentic Mexican food. I've had better but, it's good enough for me not to have to travel to Buford Hwy for good Mexican food. Maybe I came on an off day. I'll give it another try in about 2 weeks, and give an update. read more

Im from California and let me tell you their carne asada tacos are pretty good! Only place I get tacos from in my area

Great authentic Mexican food. Not the fastest place as everything is cooked to order and it's a small staff but the food is great. The chips are the bomb. Try the hot sauce. It's not very hot but it has a great flavor. read more

This is my favorite mexican restaurant. It is authentic and no chains or other Mexican restautants could even compare to the authentic taste you enjoy at Lucy's!

Amazing food and staff!!! We knew this place was a hit just based on the complimentary chips they gave us - fresh, homemade and delicious! The food portions were pretty sizable too - Happy we'll have leftovers because the food was SO good. Definitely worth eating here if you're in town! read more

Just ate lunch here for the first time. Great staff, highlighted by good food. Ample portions, chips and salsa are a nice touch. I had tacos al pastor gave it 4 outta 5 good not great. Look forward to checking out some other dishes... I'll be back read more

New to the area and wanted some good food near by. We drove by and noticed how full the parking lot was so we decided to try them! The best choice ever! Those chips! The food! The service! All A1. We've been back 2xs now and still the same consistency. I will always come back! read more

Lucy's is one of the best Mexican restaurants we've had the pleasure to visit. Since it's 10 minutes down the road, we've taken to eating here weekly. Sometimes multiple weekly visits. The burritos are ginormous and delicious. The homemade chips are amazing. They have customer warnings printed all over the menu and counter to help ensure you understand their chip and order policies. I now find it endearing :) You won't find a better value or tastier hole in the wall. Period. My daughter is obsessed. read more

Outstanding, real deal Mexican food. As others have said, don't be in a hurry but well worth the wait. We were told it would take a little extra time because the lady who makes the tortillas was working the the grill too. That's all I needed to hear to know I was in the right place. Friendly staff and clean restaurant. I had the tacos al pastor which were great. Beans and rice were really good. Generous portions and the chips and salsa really stood out. Looking forward to trying more things. read more

I am originally from Mexico and had been looking for a Mexican restaurant since my husband and I just moved to the area from Augusta. We tried Lucy's: chicken fajitas, street tacos (steak, chicken, and al pastor), and cheese dip with chips. The corn tortillas are homemade and everything was delicious and fresh! The cheese dip was thinner/less viscous than what you might find at a Tex-Mex restaurant, but the main dishes we had were very authentic! It's a "hole in the wall" type of place, with a humble atmosphere and very polite and warm staff. If you're looking for good, authentic Mexican food, we highly recommend. Don't expect Tex-Mex/Americanized Mexican food with flashy colors and louder environment, though. The quality and authenticity of their traditional Mexican dishes reminded me of my mom's cooking! read more

Go for the chips and salsa :) tiny hole in the wall, but definitely delicious! We've had most everything on the menu and have never had a bad meal! read more

One of the best in the area. Always delicious! Small eating area that is no fuss!

This was 2nd time ordering take out from here. Both times the staff have been friendly and the place is clean. Lucys is a small local favorites spot just off hwy 29 in palmetto. If you blink you'll pass it. Being that I grew up in So. Cal I consider myself am expert on what good, authentic mexican food should taste like. In my opinion, Lucys is the best you will find south of Atlanta. I have had the chicken burrito and Tacos, both delicious however chicken would be better if grilled instead of shredded. Have also had both Carne Asada burritos and tacos tasted very authentic!(burritos are huge and very tasty! ). Rice and beans are good as well, although I am not overly impressed by them. Chips are homemade.. not sure about their salsas which are just ok. This is a must try if you are in this area and looking for good mexican food. read more

Excellent service & great foodIt's a small family owned authentic Mexican restaurant way out of the main highway but worth the visit. We had carne Asada Tacos, ground beef burrito & shredded chicken quesadilla & everything was just so tasty read more

You wonder how a place this good ends up in such a small town. This is not a chain restaurant, it's really good authentic Mexican food, made fresh (you can call ahead). Staff was extra friendly and the portions were large. I'd definitely recommend you try it, the fajita plates are awesome. read more

One of our favorite local spots. While the in house ambience is quite small and basic, the food is like the Mission District in SF, CA! Authentic and tasty! Even better is the kindness of the staff. Truly nice people here. Always a pleasure. read more

It can take a while for food to come out, but that is simply because they make it all fresh right in front of you. Totally worth it for the top notch Mexican food. While you wait they give you chips and salsa to munch on. The chips are seriously my favorite part! read more

I just happened to be near Lucy's while driving around for work. I'm typically skeptical of small town Tex-mex but this was great food. Thick and crunchy tortilla chips and wonderful salsa. Food is made to order and way above average. If I happen to stumble through Palmetto again, I would definitely stop here. read more

I'm from Los Angeles California and this place is legit! Out of ALL the Mexican restaurants in Atlanta so far this is the one. From the chips to the Chili Verde, this place has flavor. I'll will be back. read more
