Service - they are very respectful and quick. They are open late until 2:00am Food- its really read more

Fabulous! Fresh, well-seasoned, hearty, just terrific. The barbacoa tacos were some of the best we've had (and we're junkies) and the spicy chicken enchiladas were heavy on the chicken and served with fresh tomato, lettuce and onion. Price is low for what they're serving. Highly recommend!! read more

Took my hubby there because all we ever hear is how good the food is. We ordered cheese enchilada combination plate, super nachos, and rolled tacos. The service was quite fast and friendly. Unfortunately the food was less than desirable. The rolled tacos had this green pea soup looking stuff which was suppose to be guacamole but it was yucky looking and had no taste.3 out of 10 The cheese enchilada had no taste - it was filler food. 2 out of 10, and super nachos were by far the best 5-out of 10 read more

The food was amazing and authentic! We ended up putting in a second order. It's right off the main road and worth the stop!

Great food Very nice people. This is a local place that I always go back too The food a alway consistent read more

Love this place can't complain at all service is amazing food comes out fast I would recommend coming here ever time your here

Great Mexican food truck, humongous steak and chorizo breakfast burrito. Fish taco was excellent. Deserving of a return trip.

The Super Nachos are amazing. My only complaint was the employee ignored us and then talked about us in Spanish, thinking we didn't understand what was being said. read more

This food truck was doing a brisk business on a summer weekday evening. While we were waiting for our food at least half dozen cars pulled up to order food. There were a lot of flies drawn to the area and it was a hot evening sitting at one of the three picnic tables waiting for our food. We took everything to go, and enjoyed in our own air conditioned space a number of the combination platters including #1 three rolled cheese and guacamole tacos, #4 carne asada tacos, & the #13 beef burrito. All served with beans and rice. Everyone enjoyed their meals and it was authentic Mexican with good flavors. There is an indoor seating area next to the truck, but it didn't look very inviting from the outside, so I'd recommend this as a tasty takeout experience. There are photos of the menu selections on the truck, so if you are unsure of what you'd like, you get some extra guidance. read more

Stayed in La Junta overnight at the KOA on our drive from Durango to the Midwest and found Lucy's on Yelp. Delicious! Ordered the #20 chimichanga chicken with red sauce 9.75, #3 with 2 chili rellenos 9.99, Carne asada fries 10.75, 3 plain rolled tacos w cheese 3.25, large Jamaica $3.75 and a Plain churro 3. Total was $44 with tax (rounded up). The only thing I wouldn't order again is the rolled tacos bc as other reviewers said it's hardly any meat, mostly a rolled corn tortilla with cheese on top. I really liked the chili rellanos and the rice and my 3 year old daughter ate almost my entire portion of beans. The kids loved splitting the churro. My husband liked his chicken chimichanga with spicy chicken (or could've gotten grilled). I also liked the carne asada fries and the large jamaica was HUGE and refreshing with the perfect amount of ice. I thought the prices were very fair, especially for the amount of food we got! The girl at the window was very nice so I tipped them, too. Bring cash for that bc there's a tip can but no way to tip on the credit card receipt. Will definitely eat here again on our next trip through town! It wasn't too busy at 7:30pm on a Friday night, just 2 locals ahead of me who said they come here all the time. read more

I'm here in La Junta ,it's 7:20 pm and I'm chowing down on some incredibly awesome carnitas tacos at Luce's tacos. This place rocks and has some of the BEST Mexican food. I'm taking a Chili Relleno burrito home for breakfast tomorrow morning. Seriously if our in La Junta get over here it's Mui Bueno! read more

The hubs and I drove down to La Junta for the tarantula migration and stopped here before heading out on our search. This is the perfect duvet restaurant we love to try out. I ordered three grilled chicken tacos and the hubs got a carnitas, asada and lengua tacos. We shared a side of beans and rice. My chicken tacos came in what appeared to be homemade flour tortillas. With a little bit of lettuce, cheese and a dollop of sour cream, they totally hit the spot. The hubs wolfed his three tacos down too and he thought they were quite good. The beans and rice were classic examples of each and oh so tasty. We will definitely come back next year for the next migration. read more

Stopped here for a quick snack while passing by. My husband had two beef tacos and complimented on how delicious the tacos were- ground beef, tasty sauce, fresh veggies. The servierst quick and he had his food in less than 5 minutes. read more

so I got for the second time! they put sour cream on after asked for no cheese no tomato! that's it! no sour cream! I'm allergic to dairy! the first one had sour cream all over... So took it back and I said you trying to kill me? Jokingly but really... and I said no cheese no tomato... so they remained it. I wasn't aware that because you order grilled chicken you don't get beans! This know where on the menu! it should say no beans with grilled chicken? Very disappointed! Won't go back! The communication is horrible and the cook was trying to tell me that I was wrong! He needs to learn the menu! And not assume that it's not what he would want! Follow the menu! If they ask for it to be off then take it off! Teach your non speaking cooks to be better!!! English is American! And I don't commun Spanish because I'm not in Mexico make a difference.. I have food allergies this hard for me to come out to places.. and this why read more

Traveling through La Junta, looking for a local breakfast, happened to see Lucy's Taco's. they were opened, I stopped, and was very happy that I did, great food, grilled jalapeño that came with it was excellent. great food, friendly service, tortilla was excellent, didn't have the side of rice as i like beans more. generous portions. can't wait to go back read more

Family and I were driving around looking for lunch and decided to stop at Lucy's Tacos. Boy were we glad that we did. It may not look like much, but this place is pretty damn good! The line was long and therefore took a little longer to get the food, but it was worth it! The food was yummy and tasty and for the price you get a lot. I hope I can stop by here again because it's a pretty special place. read more

I love Lucy's! It's great to grab if you're on the go, though they've got a little room attached as well if you wanna eat there. Many of the staff speak English as a second language so you'll do well to brush up on your basic Spanish beforehand if you're looking for a custom order ("sin cilantro, por favor" ahaha). The food is great. Can't speak to authenticity but I can say it's far from bland and a joy to dig straight into, where some other restaurants in my life I've taken home only to season myself. Living a couple blocks from Lucy's is one of the many joys of having moved here. Very much recommended!! read more

I love Lucy's Tacos, but for some odd reason this morning breakfast burritos were the WORST EVER!! Raw potatoes, not warm at all! Come on employees, if this continues to happen, I will no longer be a customer... read more

Got up charge for every little thing, nickel and dimed like you wouldn't believe the food wasn't even right I can't even eat it. I will never go back. read more

Amazing authentic and delicious Mexican food !! Affordable prices and great customer service .

All I can say is wow! What a hidden gem! The food is traditional and tasty. I had the carne asada taco combo and it was fantastic. read more

Lucy's Tacos - Outdoor seating and food trailer. - Mexican Near Me - La Junta, Colorado

I know that this place is rated highly and perhaps that is why it was so disappointing. First the good; portion size was great, menu was voluminous, and chicken quesadilla was tasty. The not so good; the quality of ingredients was extremely poor. I had a California Burrito and the steak was the lowest grade possible. The "potatoes" were French fries, and it really seemed like the salsa just really covered the bad ingredients up. Asked for plastic ware and received two forks for my burrito. Sorry but this place was so overrated! Average at best! read more

Great little taco truck! Delicious food, and quick service! Seems to be a popular place and I can see why!

After a long day on the road, we did a Yelp search to see what food might be available for dinner and we are so glad we found this place! As authentic as you're gonna get - we loved every single item we ordered and the staff was so nice! Highly recommend for road weary travelers or to locals who haven't tried it yet. Can't be beat!!! read more

Not happy with Lucy's at all! First of all they nickel and dime you. I ordered a couple chimichangas and I wanted ground beef instead of their shredded beef and one and they upped charge me $3.50. First of all ground beef is cheaper than shredded beef, so there should be no up charge on that. Second I ordered one with beef beans, rice and cheese and said I just wanted it with nothing on it. I wanted to hold it in my hand. It comes out with cheese all over it and melted on it. then they decide to upcharge me for the beans and the cheese at $.75 on each of them even though it already came on the chimichanga. Then I wanted sour cream on the side and they decided they would charge me $.75 because it was on the side. that would be all fine and dandy but I didn't even get that in my bag. I also paid $2.75 for guacamole that I never received. so all in all I paid over $10 extra for stuff that was already included or I didn't receive. This is total bullshit and it already have been four months before I've been back there before because they screwed up my order last time. This was the third time, and I will never be back again. I am so disappointed in Lucy's. They used to be a great place. If I could give zero stars, I definitely would give them zero stars. All I can say is, they're constantly a disappointment. read more

Definitely come here! Amazing tacos. I had 3 different ones (chicken, carne asada, carnitas) and my husband had the smothered carne asada burrito. My tacos were legit. Husband's burrito was huge and also great We are going back tomorrow. read more

always go to Lucy's. They have good food but today was just horrible. Raw potatoes chili was not on point it was just dry like Rick Gallegos butt cheeks. I had to give him and lucys 2 stars read more

Great food from the food truck style. We took them to go, we ordered the barbacoas tacos, the lengua tacos (my fave), fajitas plate, chili cheese fries and chips and salsa. They are amazing. I'd come back again for sure. read more

Why can't we have nice tacos in the Northeast? So close to New Mexico, Lucy's delivers the authentic street taco experience of Old Mexico. I had three tacos, all served hot and fresh. The lengua was marinated to smoothness, which I've never tasted in tongue before. The tripa was crunchy and I highly recommend it. The chicharones was full of meat, not fat, and flavor, not salt. The horchata wasn't on the menu but it was nicely spiced and paired well with the dinner. Ask for extra salsa - both red and green will satisfy. Based on these tacos, I would bet you can't go wrong with any item on the menu. And they're open until midnight or later every night! What a find. What a town. read more

THANK GOD FOR YELP!!! I travel through small town Colorado on a regular basis. I've always just eaten the cardboard sandwich at the Subway in La Junta. Yelp lead me to Lucy's tacos, and I couldn't have been happier. This was the absolute best burrito I've had in a very long time. I would never normally eat Mexican food out of a trailer food truck type of setup, but the solid reviews and the long line of people eating here convinced me otherwise. I cannot tell you why the steak burrito was so good, when it was just steak, salsa, and sauce, but it was glorious! I never thought I would say this, but I can't wait to go back to La Junta. Haha read more

Drove through the one in Lamar and it was so good I had to come back to this OG location. Got a breakfast burrito and it was insanely delicious. From Los Angeles and this food is beyond anything I've had there. They are also adhering to COVID guidelines. Lots of businesses in the area don't seem to be so good for them for caring about customers health! read more

La Junta's highest rated restaurant! This would probably surprise the owners, who, I guarantee you, don't know what Yelp is, and would be mildly amused to find out how highly they're ranked. Lucy's is a food truck which has become so popular that they've taken over a corner of a converted gas station as a seating area for inclement weather. You go to the walk-up window to order from an extensive menu. It's good Tex-Mex food at cheap prices served by hard working campesinos. read more

Excellent Mexican food. We've been eating here for years. Although it is a food truck, they have, or at least used to have, before covid, a small indoor seating area. Not sure if it is open again. read more

Great little taco truck. I got the 2 chicken taco combo and it was delicious. The rice and beans were decent but the tacos were great!

Real, fresh, authentic Mexican - can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Tacos are fantastic - especially the carnitas and the barbacoa. The breakfast burrito must be great cuz lots of people were ordering it at dinner time! Worth coming to every day to go through the whole menu! And when you're done go down the street to SoCo FroYo for a refreshing treat. Ask for Josie - she's great! And tip her good so she can get her teaching degree - go for it Josie!! read more

The Carne Asada Torte definitely ranked up there with the bests tortes I've ever had. Open til midnight on a Sunday night? Worth it. I love this place read more

I yelped for breakfast burritos and came across Lucy's taco truck in La Junta,Co. We were on our way back to Denver and stopped by Lucy's taco truck and order 2 breakfast burritos. I ordered the breakfast burritos with chorizo in it. Boy, this was a big breakfast burrito stuffed with potatoes, scrambled egg and chunks of chorizo meat. The other breakfast burrito had scramble egg, potatoes, and sausage. They were both delicious. You could cut it in half and share their breakfast burritos. This place is worth going to if you drive through this town. Worth coming back to for their breakfast. read more
