" Lucy’s serves some incredible breakfast meals! I usually go for the huevos rancheros, which I can't recommend enough. The staff is consistently friendly, and you can tell they care about their customers. The only downside is that it can get crowded, so it's best to go early. Definitely a local favorite!

" Lucy’s Cafe has a nice retro feel and the service is decent. I enjoyed my breakfast, but I expected more in terms of authentic flavor. I've had better huevos rancheros in other places. This diner is good for a quick meal, but it didn’t hit the spot for me this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Rounding off my visit to Las Cruces, I stopped at Lucy’s and I was pleasantly surprised! The menudo was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor. The service staff was warm and inviting, creating a lovely dining atmosphere. I will definitely recommend this to anyone looking for authentic New Mexican food. I can’t wait for my next visit!
