    We weren’t seated at the table we preferred. The service was extremely slow and the food was cold when it arrived at our table.

    This place was so pretty. The view was so beautiful at night, the atmosphere within the restaurant was so nice and I was comfortable. The food I feel like portion wise could have been better it was a little small but the taste of the food was delicious.

    Thought this place was great! Patio was great with gorgeous views. The menu is small, but it’s definitely tapas vibes. Wagyu tacos were delightful, along with the croquettes. The gnocchi was also very delicious!Sea bass was the only item I wouldn’t order again.

    I was so looking forward to trying Lucero for my husband's birthday. Unfortunately it was rainy and the rooftop was close. The drinks were great and we really liked our AZ Dip in Dip appetizer, but don't order the Sea bass if you're hungry. Luckily my husband's steak a decent size and was good. They also brought him a surprise birthday dessert which was nice. I'd go back for some drinks and appetizers, but not sure I'd go for dinner again.

    Meh, drinks were great. Food was subpar very limited menu. Nice and convenient place to go and have a cocktail before a show at Gammage. Five minute walking distance.

    Reserved and PAID for a Fireside Table at Lucero recently - the day of the reservation, it was a bit rainy outside, and 20 minutes prior to the reservation, was emailed the reservation was not going to be outside by the Fireside Table. No refund, no response.

    Food was amazing, ordered the shrimp tacos and wagyu beef tacos. Ordered another shrimp taco because I thought I would need another one but three was perfect. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Ambiance was perfect. Highly recommend for a fun date night.
