Very busy on the Saturday we went. Lucy's is a go to place for Mexican fare In a small shopping center. I saw a TV spot that praised the green chili burger. I was a bit disappointed. The servings are huge. The fries were undercooked and the bun soggy from all the stuff in it. There are 3 choices and you can have lucy burger with 3 patties or junior with 2. Meat was also a bit undercooked. The Mexican plates looked delicious and next visit will try that. read more

I love this place! Anytime I cruise through the west side of El Paso, TX and have time to grab a meal, I usually make a point of eating at this small family restaurant that shares building space with the King's X bar. I learned about this place in university when I lived at the apartments behind the establishment and I had friends who worked at the bar. Initially the bar is where I spent my time, but eventually I started coming here just for the food. It's kind of a greasy spoon, but it is so delicious! The family serves typical TexMex dishes. I did a combination plate so that I could sample a little bit of everything: enchilada, taco, chile rellano, and tamale. Plus, beans, rice, and fresh tortillas are served with the plate. I got iced tea to wash it all down. The tables and chairs are old school items that you might find in a breakfast diner back in the 50s. Nothing pretty, but very practical. There isn't a lot of space, so you might find yourself taking your order to go or asking someone if you can join them at their table if they have room. There are often families with their kids getting food here. The parking lot is often packed because people come here to watch the game and grab a drink with friends. The driveway is narrow entering on one side and exiting on the other side. Although it is not clear which is which. Turning off and on to Mesa Blvd is fast paced, so just do the best you can. Your car might get dinged here. Leave the Maserati at home. Definitely my favorite restaurant in El Paso. read more

Now Lucy's always will have a special place in my heart. Being a native of El Paso this is a must stop to eat. Don't let the street parking deter you. Or the 5 star cocktail bar it's attached too. It's a hidden gem. Everything on the menu is à la carte. But a must order is the Tacos Antonia. If I started a food truck in some other city I would only serve that. It's ridiculous. Try it. You'll be glad you did. Also, did I mention you can order cocktails from the adjoining bar? Do it... read more

Traveling to El Paso from California a few times a year we are always looking for good Mexican food. We had heard of Lucy's from Tik Tok and decided to try it out. We knew when we walked in we found a winner. Chips and salsa were another sign the food was going to be good. The salsa was the perfect amount of spicy. I ordered the Tacos Antonia and they tasted like something I would serve my family. So good. Service was great and juke box was playing great music. We will be back! read more

A friend from high school highly suggested Lucy's and the machaca. The drive wasn't too far from the hotel. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. After we ordered, she brought us each a cup of fideo. My machaca was awesome. I would definitely stop in again. read more

Visiting from So. Cal, and first time at Lucy's and it was delicious. Kid approved as well! Excellent customer service, and well attended to. Felt very comfortable, like you're at home with family. My husband ordered the chilaquiles con pollo, I ordered Lucy's famous machaca plate and the kids ordered breakfast burritos. Hot coffee, horchatas and limeade and it was sooo good. Definitely recommend Lucy's whether you're a local or visiting out of state. It's a must to stop and eat. read more

This place was a treat for me in College and I am so happy to say they're still going strong. Some of my best memories were Friday nights with my friend enjoying cervesa and chimichangas as we welcomed the end of a grueling week. I miss thhose simple days, but they return every time I walk back through the doors! Sadly, it's seldom that I get back to El Paso these days. The smell of the place lingers in my nostrils for days after, the fragrant food, the sounds of people enjoying their evenings. Sometimes we have to wait for parking, but it's never been so bad that we decided to leave. read more

Lucy's Cafe West Address: 6600 N. Mesa | El Paso, TX Phone: (915) 842-8329 4 stars for what it was A good divey Mexican Restaurant With delicious food, great service and reasonable prices.

Had the Tacos Antonia and did not disappoint. Hadn't been here in over 20 years and the food was just as on-point as it was all those years ago. Served with a side of rice and beans for just about $12. They also brought me a little cup of fideo sopita to enjoy with some chips and salsa while I waited for my meal to arrive. Simple but oh-so-tasty! read more

From food to friendly service, this restaurant knocks it out of the park. This is a true hole-in- the- wall gem! My husband and I went for breakfast around 11 this morning. They started us out with fresh chips and salsa. We loved the thin, crispy chips and the salsa that was fairly mild yet packed with flavor. Hubby ordered the Breakfast Machaca, and I ordered the Chilangas. I pretty much had no idea what I was ordered when I selected it but decided to take a chance. It was delicious, kind of like breakfast nachos. All the food was super delicious!!! As we were paying, we met the owner. He is so friendly and nice. We will definitely be back to try more on the menu! read more

They have excellent pricing for the quantity of food you are given. My family and I were rolling into the El Paso area pretty late in the evening but hadn't gotten dinner yet, so our options were limited. We noticed Lucy's was open late; when we arrived, we discovered why- it's connected to a bar! LOL. You could easily walk between the two (in fact, if you need to use the restroom, you will have to). The loud music from next door was quite audible from inside Lucy's, but if you can see past this (or perhaps if you like that vibe) then you'll be fine. Our server was really hustling to keep things running efficiently and getting orders out quickly. One nice surprise was that we were all served a cup of soup prior to our orders coming out! I hadn't seen that anywhere on the menu, but was pleased by its flavor. This place is definitely a little "run down" in that it likely hasn't seen any renovations since it opened in I believe the late 70's. But as I said, for the price, I can't complain! Plus, my dad didn't have any difficulty eating here even though he has to eat gluten free. read more

Lucy's Restaurant - Chips and salsa were very good a little bit spicy but very delicious. - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

This place doesn't look like much, we had to walk through a pool hall bar to find the restaurant. The food was fabulous! I ordered the Tacos Antonia - fried tacos with shredded meat and avocado with special sauce- yumm! My friend ordered a Mexican plate that was very good. I got the famous breakfast machaca plate to go. This was the best! Shredded beef mixed with scrambled eggs and pico, smothered in chile con queso. The best! We topped it off sharing a tres leches cake, I've had better- but it was good! read more

The food was blah. Everything came out salty. The restaurant didn't fell clean. The service was good. The waitress was very polite and attentive. The problem that I had was when I asked for a Togo container for my soda, the manager gave me a used container. Who does that?! I couldn't believe what he did. I don't think I'll ever go back to eat there. read more

3 Stars = A-OKAY. Nothing wrong. Good food for cheap prices. Only time I've eaten here is when I'm going to King's X. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but if I'm planning on going to King's X then I'm definitely eating food from Lucy's. read more

I've only been here for breakfast and man it does not disappoint. All of their dishes come with large portions for a very small price. My favorite dish here is the breakfast machaca.

This was my first visit to El Paso, TX and I came here craving some local Mexican flavor; something different that I couldn't readily get just anywhere. I used the trusty Yelp and of course searched "Mexican Restaurant". There were a few interesting places but Lucy's Restaurant caught my eye. I liked what I saw on the menu as it had various dishes that were appealing. On the first day I purchased the following: Machaca(w/beef), Chimichangas, and Charro beans. Everything was soooo delicious, I went back the next day and purchased Carnitas. If in El Paso, don't pass up the opportunity to try Lucy's Restaurant. You will not regret it. read more

Lucy's Restaurant - Chilanga Breakfast - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I'm a native El Pasoan, although I haven't lived there since 2009. Lucy's was our absolute favorite breakfast joint in high school. Both this location - and the diner location behind Cathedral High School (go Irish!). I recently had the pleasure of going to Lucy's again for the first time since I moved in '09. It's just as I remember it! Walk in, sit anywhere you'd like in this small, quaint, restaurant. Settle in... and have one of the best mexican breakfasts/food you'll have while in El Paso: promise. I literally walked in, and saw the same gentleman who we always used to see in the restaurant ten years ago. I made a comment to him that I remembered him after all these years... and it turns out he's been there over 30 years! What a testament to the family and owners of this little gem! They obviously have a serious following - and loyal customers - a/k/a the "golden ticket" for small "mom and pop shops". If you go to Lucy's for breakfast, you have to get the Machaca plate - shredded beef & egg, smothered with chile con queso? Yes please! Trust me - you won't be sorry you ate here... I'm sad, yet glad I don't live in El Paso anymore...because I'd definitely be here TOO OFTEN! read more

Great people, came in for a grubhub order, wasn't ready but I did come extremely early in the morning lol. Nice little kitchen / bar. All the workers are really nice. While I waited for an order I was offered a complimentary bowl of fideo which I didn't take but I very much appreciate. read more

Lucy's is a unique El Paso treasure. I stop by every time I get to the city. I've traveled a lot and haven't been able to find anything that is comparable! There are always police officers there, and I think they know the best places! read more

We dropped by for a late Breakfast and also had a few Lunch plate Orders. Everything ordered was delicious to say the least. The establishment has been here in El Paso like 'for ever' and the establishment is considered a place you cannot miss. It's adjacent the King's X Bar, another often frequented by many establishment. So if you decide to try Lucy's and it looks full, no problem, you'll be seated in the bar area through a convenient side door. If you enjoy smoking cigars etc, as I do, 'they have an area where you can sit and enjoy your 'smokes' and beverage. Enjoy! read more

Pretty good! We ordered food for takeout recently (on Mother's Day). My bf's sister picked up the food. She said it was busy and had to wait quite awhile for it. That's to be expected on Mother's Day. I'm not sure how the service was but I didn't hear any complaints from her. I was glad my order was correct! I ordered red enchiladas with beans and rice...no onions. BTW (just a small side note) I remember coming to Kings X Bar many years back but I never went into Lucy's. I'm not even sure why? Not sure if Kings X is still a biker bar but back then it was. I think you could order food from Lucy's if you were drinking at Kings X...idk it's been so long! Anyway the 2 are attached/connected. Getting back to the food... Everything tasted like it was fresh and made to order. The cheese was melted just right inside and outside of the enchiladas. The rice and beans were cooked perfectly. The red chile they used for the enchiladas was flavorful. The only complaint I have was that the food was more greasy than I would've liked. Their green salsa was really tasty. I enjoyed adding some to my beans and rice. It was also great on the tostadas. Pretty good tostadas too! Would I come back? Maybe if I'm close by. I hear their other location by Savers (on Mesa too) is bigger and better than this one. The location by Savers is closer to me. I might check that one out soon. P.S. Sorry, forgot to take pics! read more

Came here in Yelp recommendation and wasn't disappointed. If you're looking for a hole in the wall restaurant with great food, this is it.

You may drive right past it thinking it's a dive, but stop for lunch or dinner and you won't need disappointed. read more

Great choice Yelpers! Hole in the wall diner attached to King's X bar. About 8 tables and booths so it's a small restaurant. They were a bit busy when we arrived but were seated quickly. After receiving our drinks and figuring out what we wanted, it took about another 15 min for us to place our order. The bathrooms were on the bar side and clean. T-Bone steak 5* - my boys loved it and only $10.95 for the meal. They ordered Texas style whicb came with french fries and onion rings. Machaca 5* - daughter enjoyed the queso covered shredded beef. We ordered with spanish rice but came with hash browns. NBD she ate it with my aide flour tortillas. Huevos Rancheros 4* - I normally don't eat the corn tortillas under it but they had melted cheese between the eggs and tortilla and it was delicious. It came with rice, beans, and flour tortilla which I didn't eat. Caldillo 2* - wanted caldo de res but this was an ok substitute. It was cold so wasn't enjoyable. Barbacoa burrito 5* - packed with moist meat and flavorful. Loved this burrito especially only being $3 something. Everyone was nice and I can see why they have great reviews. Besides the soup, everything else we had was delicious. The parking was confusing but we figured it out. Stop by here if you are undecided for food. read more

I was invited here by a local. I would have never known about this restaurant. The food was amazing. I ordered the tacos Antonia as did the local. These were the best tacos I've ever had, 3 tacos served with rice and beans. The meal also came with a delicious soup as an appetizer all for $8.50. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! Service as quick too! read more

Lucy's Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

My husband has fond memories of this place from long ago, so I was eager to try it. You definitely don't go here for the ambiance, which is fine with me -- I'd rather have delicious food than fancy trappings. We both ordered the beef machaca, which seems to be unavailable anywhere besides El Paso. (I've had machacado, but that is a totally different meal.) It was good (nice and cheesy), but I must admit, I'm not a big meat aficionado, and the concept of eggs with chicken just doesn't work for me). The salsa was good. My husband liked the coffee, but I thought it tasted burned. The service was friendly -- the waitress encouraged us to take a larger table, which was nice. I would definitely return and would try something else. read more

A hidden local place tucked in between constructions. You almost will miss the turn into this place. Parking in the back looks sketchy and we entered thru the back alley, into what seems like a bar. With an entrance into a small sitting area which is the basis of Lucy's restaurant. We were served with patience and with genuine care regarding our preference and liking to the food. Definitely 5 stars on service!! We had wanted menudo but they ran out, so that must have been a popular option here. The only soup left was the caldillo which was good too, stuffed with so much meat, I love it! Tripitas tacos came with 3 in a set. They were crunchy and fresh, made with care, clearly because you can see them preparing in the kitchen. I've had really good tacos prior in Phoenix AZ, so the food here would have been 4-stars in comparison, however, their dessert completely sold me. 100%. Do not skip out on the flan or tres leches. The flan was homemade, sweet enough but not overwhelming, soft and just amazing. The tres leches was one of the best I've had, very moist and soft, top layer of cream is thin and doesn't take away from the cake. They were both small enough portions to share between friends after a good meal. Would come back again to try the menudo and to get more dessert!!9 read more

Went thinking it would be good based on other locations but we were disappointed. First the place is very small and not very clean looking once you sit down. I ordered the chimichangas and they were still cold in the middle from where they were frozen. The salsa and chips, salsa had no flavor. Everything else was very basic and not flavorful. Will not return. read more
