We had a great time with friends! The food was delicious, but the server was a bit too friendly and chatty … don’t need to know all about your best friends girlfriend. Also, I know that we’d were a pretty chill group, don’t appreciate the server casually swearing while talking.

Lucina's has become our go-to restaurant for special occasions. We like to go in groups of 6 or7 to order as many of the small plates as possible. We go often enough to appreciate when new dishes appear or old ones, like the mussels with chorizo, reappear. Dishes appear thoughtfully in waves so every one can be tasted and savored before the next round arrives. Favorites include the blue-masa conchinitas (out of rotation now but replaced with a great pozole), the mussels (served with smoky, toasted bread slices to soak up the broth that are out of this world), and mofongo. A cod dish with an almost panang-style sauce with fresh jalapeño was new to us and delicious. Highly recommend Lucina's!

Outstanding experience! Our waiter, Rocco, picked some amazing wine for us and Chef Diego creates such unique flavors in each tapa we tried! Really fantastic. We will be back!
