" Absolutely loved my dining experience at Lucy's! The place has a charming retro diner decor that takes you back in time. I ordered the menudo and it was incredible; truly some of the best I’ve had outside of a family gathering. The staff treated us like we were part of their family. I highly suggest this spot for anyone seeking a genuine New Mexican meal. It's not just a meal; it's an experience imbued with warmth and authenticity. Make sure to try their green chile sauce—it’s out of this world! I can't wait to return and bring my family along to share the joy of this hidden gem. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Lucy's with a couple of friends and we had the most amazing breakfast! The huevos rancheros were delicious and tasted so authentic, just like my grandma used to make. The service was prompt and friendly, making us feel right at home. If you're looking for a cafe with a cozy vibe and great food, Lucy’s is the place to go. I can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love coming to Lucy’s; it’s like stepping into a time machine! The diner feel is cozy and inviting, and the food reminds me of home. My favorite has to be the chicken fried steak—it's so tender and flavorful! It’s one of those spots that just feels right. I would highly recommend it to anyone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for breakfast and it was just average. The service was quick, but I found the food bland. I had expected a more authentic flavor profile considering the rave reviews. The atmosphere felt a bit outdated, as if it hasn't been updated in years. I might give it another chance, but I was underwhelmed. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem this place is! The minute you step inside, the nostalgic atmosphere takes you back. I had the green enchiladas and they were simply wonderful. The service was attentive, ensuring we were well taken care of. I wholeheartedly recommend Lucy's if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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!
