    a food truck parked in a parking lot
    Scott O.

    After reading many reviews, decided to give this off the beaten path food truck a try. Ordered one of each menu item (tacos with "steak", chicken burrito, chicken quesadilla and chips/guacamole). Took about 10 minutes to receive 3/4 if the order. Guacamole took another 5 minutes and then were told they didn't have any chips so they gave back $2 (despite miscalculating the total in the first place!). Food: Tacos: the "steak" was ground meat of some sort. Dry. Underflavored. Cilantro helped bring a little flavor. Burrito: despite being told there would be a variety of toppings, all of them seemingly were missing other than chicken and rice. This was the most bland burrito ever! Luckily the green salsa was good and added a kick. Quesadilla: very cheesy, but again lacked overall flavor. Guacamole: this was probably the best part. But we had to stop at Cub Foods to pick of some chips since they didn't have any. ‍ Two sauces: green was good, spicy. Red was nothing more than puréed tomatoes. Note: meals were supposed to come with rice (bland) and beans. I guess they were out of beans because every meal came with two servings of rice. It appears the reviews posted are outdated (most are over a year ago). This place was nowhere near spectacular and cut many corners and was missing many items (chips, beans, burrito toppings, etc).

    Not to be confused with Taco Moreno, which we haven't had the chance to try yet, that is across the street in the Cub Foods parking lot. Lucy's Tacos is a great little food truck. Nothing fancy, just good Mexican food. It reminded us of the food served at Mexican Bus stops in Chetumal. The menu is a little confusing (it's pretty much a piece of paper with words scrawled all over it) and 3/4 people running the place don't speak English (my Spanish has become extremely rusty over the years). Basically, you pick either a Taco, Burrito, Torta, or Quesadilla. Choose from a wide selection of meats (they were out of barbacoa the night we tried the place). Finally, each choice comes with rice, beans, and salsa. All of it for $7. The salsa is amazing and the best part of the meal. Be careful, it packs a ton of heat. The rice is a close second, Great Mexican rice. We ordered the Chicken Torta, Pastor Tacos, and the Steak Burrito. All three were good, but we preferred the Pastor Tacos, which are typical "soft" tacos found in MX and not the hard shell ones seen in the states. The Burrito was tasty, however, the meat had 4-5 tough pieces/gristle, which distracted from meal. If we come back, we'll only order Tacos. Not sure about the hours. We went on a weekday at 9pm and they seemed to be in full swing.

    Grabbing some yummy tacos!

    Awesome authentic Mexican food hits Rochester!!! I've driven by Lucy's tacos many times but always just after I had eaten. A couple weeks ago, I finally passed by in an empty stomach and I must say I'm glad I did! We ordered two taco plates. Each plate comes with 4 small tacos and rice and beans for $7. I ordered the carnitas and my wife ordered a mix two carnitas and two asada. Both were great but asada is really really good. The salsa that comes with the tacos is spicy! I like it but it would be nice to tame it down a bit. They also have quesadillas and tamales and more. Cannot wait to try the tamales as well. Give this place a try...it's wonderfully authentic!!!

    Pastor tacos. Delicious! The green sauce adds real fire to it.

    I love this place! I've been hearing how often my friend's family gets tacos here. So I finally made a stop. As I was standing not sure which kind of tacos to get, Lucy let me taste beef, chicken, and pastor fillings. I got pastor tacos and they were delicious! Another customer recommended steak tacos so that's what I'm going to order next time. Can't wait to go back!

    I don't get it. We arrived at 7, which would understandably be a busy time. There weren't too many people there, but it took 10 minutes to order, and then another 30 plus minutes to get food. We got home and opened a box that obviously doesn't look like meals others have gotten. The beans were white paste. The rice was basically flavorless other than grease. I went to pick up one of the tacos and the Shell was entirely soaked through with grease. Upon picking it up we immediately noticed the remaining pool of orange grease underneath that remained after the shells had absorbed all they could. The whole mess went in the trash. It made Taco Bell look like health food.

    A sunny fall day at Lucy's tacos!

    Stopped at Lucy's a few weeks ago after hearing about the place from numerous friends. I love little hole-in-the-wall places and this is a food trailer in a parking lot, so I was very interested in what they were cooking up. I've been to Tijuana, Mexico, numerous times, so know what a good street taco should taste like. The tacos I've had at Lucy's are excellent. The guac is fantastic as well. And Lucy is an absolute treat to talk to. She's a very friendly and personable woman and seems to always be in good spirits. The only drawback to this place is that it's in a parking lot with folding tables and chairs, so the atmosphere isn't the best and it will be closed for the winter. Prices are extremely reasonable. A $1.50 for a taco and $3.50 for chips and guacamole.

    A little lime never hurt no taco

    If you want late tacos, skip Taco Bell because that gets blown out of the water by this. Normally open until 12 a.m., they extend their hours to even 3 a.m. On Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. My go to is the steak tacos, but my next is the barbacoa. I would recommend this quant stop along the road by Napa Auto Parts to anyone and everyone.

    This is what they use for potatoes in there food, just a raw French fry.

    Not happy!! 30 minutes waiting for food. They never told me they where out of rice and beans so I open my container to find mini taco, not bad but they should have told me. They also didn't have nachos (really). The guy at the counter wasn't rude but gave off a negative vibe that rubes me the wrong way. They had to make more chicken so that slowed things down. Five minutes latter the guy jumps in his car and peeled out of the parking lot. I got the California and the potatoes where nothing more than raw French fries, they where mushy and soaked in oil or grease I think. The stake was very cheap and could have passed as hamburger. They want to start there own restaurant but what they got now shows me that they shouldn't/can't run one.

    Holy incredible carne asada tacos. My fiancé got the torta and said it was one of the best he's ever had. The line was steady the whole time we were there. Also, the rice had incredible flavor and texture. I would go again and again and again. Wish I was a local!

    Not bad, but not particularly good. Would be 3 stars, but carne asada does not mean ground beef. C'mon Lucy's...

    We were in town for a sporting event, and a friend had recommended this place for dinner. The best…read morething I would say is there's a very large patio and live music was happening, so if you just want a fun place with easy parking to come have some drinks and music, this place might be your place. Otherwise, we would only recommend one of the five tacos we tried - the pulled pork taco. The guacamole was runny and more like soup or a spread than fresh guacamole - it reminded me of Costco's and I expected freshly made. I would say the tacos are quite small in terms of portion/quantity of real ingredients. And all of the ingredients felt very sloppy, like huge chunks of onion in the steak fajita taco that were not cooked. It felt like all of the food had been prepared in a hurry, both the cutting and chopping of the ingredients as well as the way the tacos were sent out of the kitchen. There was way too much dry powdery crumbled cheese on top of the shrimp taco. There were almost no vegetables and no flavor in the backfire veggie taco. And the walleye was fried and dry and seemed like it had been reheated not made fresh. I also ordered a mango margarita (and my receipt shows it with the extra $1.50 charge), but they gave me a plain one - it was disappointing and since the food was not good, I didn't want to stay longer and request a new one.

    Taco Jed = no notes…read more Ok, maybe one note which is that my take out meal didn't come with any napkins so be mindful of that. We didn't need silver ware, but it could be helpful. We were in town for a weekend kids sporting event we attended every year and a friend recommended Taco Jed. We ordered about one of every type of taco. If it sounds good to you, you will love it. We were absolutely famished, and two tacos a person was more than enough (plus chips of course) The rest of our tacos were put in the hotel mini fridge and warmed up the next day in the microwave and they were still better than anything else I've ever eaten in Rochester and probably most tacos I've ever had. The music was a bit loud on a Friday night, and the parking lot is a little weird with its angles.
