Lucero's Tavern IV

The least authentic Mexican food I’ve have ever eaten. It’s like a tourist went to Mexico and tried Mexican food and then without any real idea what they are doing opened a Mexican restaurant. The staff are super friendly and it’s great environment to hang out but the Mexican food is not great. Pork tacos were ok and chile relleno I couldn’t finish it was so bad. Probably a great place to go grab a drink but to eat Mexican food I would pass.

Let me tell you about the absolute garbage excuse for a neighborhood bar where they apparently value the sticky residue on their tables more than the security and well-being of their patrons. I made the mistake of stopping in for a drink this evening and, admittedly foolishly, left my expensive AirPods on a picnic table outside for a mere five minutes while I stepped inside. When I returned, they were gone. You would think, in a nearly empty bar with only FIVE OBVIOUS REGULARS present, and with SECURITY CAMERAS POINTING DIRECTLY AT THE PICNIC TABLES, that the staff might show even a sliver of concern or offer some assistance. You would be dead wrong. When I politely asked if they could please check the cameras, given the short timeframe and the limited number of people around, I was met with a cold, dismissive attitude and told to "stop." The sheer audacity of their indifference is astounding. They clearly have zero interest in fostering a safe or trustworthy environment for their customers. The message was loud and clear: "Your belongings are your problem, even when they disappear on our premises." This isn't just about the cost of the headphones; it's about the principle. It's about the complete lack of responsibility and the utter disregard for a paying customer who was clearly distressed. In a true neighborhood bar, there's a sense of community and looking out for one another. It seems the only community they foster is one of apathy and "not my problem." Do yourself a favor and take your business ANYWHERE else. This place clearly doesn't deserve it. They'd rather sweep your misfortune under the rug than lift a finger to help.

I did an call ahead order. They accommodated the early pick up and the Burritos were fabulous! I ordered 7 Burritos with different meats. They were all delicious and the chili to meat, potatoes and egg ratio was perfect. Everyone loved them. They were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place. I will definitely be back!

A little misleading, but the place is a pretty solid family vibe restaurant. Looks like a hole-in-the-wall type bar with all the black colors making the place darker than it needs to be, but it is actually a solid family restaurant. The wait staff is also quite friendly and mellow. The food itself was done pretty quick. The breakfast burritos are pretty standard, but are done well and has an extra oomf when smothered.

We just moved to Arvada a couple of months ago so I'm looking for my Mom's Getaway place which is always a Mexican restaurant. This one is definitely not in the running. I'd say this is really just meant to be a drinking place (tavern). You have to order, pay and tip before you get your food. I never like that setup. I would have had a 2nd beer if it hadn't been a hassle. I paid $4.50 for chips and salsa (typically free) and I ordered an enchilada plate. I don't think I specified a protein but I did ask for green and red sauce which is usually put on the plate in a half and half manner. What I was served looked a bit like slop. I didn't eat it all. The salsa was the only thing I liked. Not the chips though.
