The Hottest New Brunches in Las Vegas, According to Eater Editors | Eater Vegas

"This new restaurant at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas offers a fiesta brunch with bottomless mimosas. A good brunch calls for a balance of sweet and savory options — one that is represented on Lucia’s menu. Savory dishes take the form of chilaquiles crispy chicharrones, birria omelets with consomme drizzle, and shrimp enchiladas with chipotle cream sauce. French toast comes filled with flan, pancakes are topped with passionfruit glaze and torched mangoes." - Janna Karel

Food was fine. Nothing was overwhelmingly like “oh my gosh I can’t wait to have this” and for that reason, we won’t be back. We were told one lady was our waitress but we saw the busboy and food delivery guy more times than we saw her. Service was fine but we waited a long time for everything. Overall it was fine if you’re in the area and need a spot but we won’t go back. The mimosas didn’t seem strong enough. The portions were big though.

Amazing! Virgin Hotels LV just had their grand opening this weekend with new curio restaurants & rooms! WOW! The aesthetic, the vibe, the service, the options, the food - they even have a happy hour! Indoor AND outdoor seating options. Booths also. Feel like I’m in TULUM Mexico! Excellent rebrand and new addition.

First time trying here! I was worried because there is not a lot of reviews on Google. But turned out to be good 💯 I got birria taco, chicken taco, corn, chips, and dessert 🎂 3 tacos don't look enough but there are a lot of meat in it so for sure you'll get full. I got super full. Dessert tastes a little off. Maybe it was old?

We ate dinner here two nights in a row. We came back a second time because we were very impressed by our server, Kat. She is not only sweet and attentive, but her recommendations were spot on. Come here to eat and drink, but ask for Kat. I easily give her 100 💯 stars

Lucia Mexican Grill is a beautiful spot with bold decor, candlelit ambiance, and a lively bar that gives you all the vibes of a modern cantina with a hint of Day of the Dead flair. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by bright murals, moody lighting, and a bar that seems like the perfect place to camp out with a drink and some tacos. I stopped in for a drink and a snack and kicked things off with the Chips and Salsa. While they brought out a colorful and generously portioned basket of chips (including a few blue corn ones for flair), the salsas were surprisingly mild and on the watery side—lacking the bold punch you’d expect. Not bad, but definitely not the highlight. The drink menu is stacked, and I went with a draft beer which hit the spot and was nicely chilled. Their Happy Hour deal is solid—$5 beers and half-off house margaritas from 5–6pm. The ambiance during this time is super relaxed: sports playing on the TVs, candlelight glowing at the bar, and a friendly bartender who keeps the vibe flowing. The full menu is impressive, ranging from street-style tacos (which they offer for just $5 on Tuesdays) to loaded molcajetes and fresh ceviches. I didn’t go all in on the entrees this round, but the taco lineup and “Lucia Sins” section promise a lot of reasons to come back hungry. Atmosphere: 10/10 Chips & Salsa: 6/10 Drinks & Bar Scene: 9/10 Value (especially during HH): 8.5/10 All in all, Lucia is a great place to sip, snack, and soak in the vibes. Next time, I’ll dive deeper into the tacos and maybe that Ribeye Aguachile. This place is definitely worth a revisit.

We visited Lucia during our stay at Hotel EDC. We stumbled upon it and decided to get breakfast. We loved it so much we returned for dinner the next day. Such great vibes and great drinks

Good Mexican food. Great service even though we arrived within 30 minutes of closing time. I only gave it 4 stars for food because the rice and beans don't taste authentic to me. Im a bit picky when it comes to Mexican because I love the homemade taste. Otherwise, I thought everything else was good (delicious salsa) 👍🏻 appreciated the fact they had sangria available too.

I have been coming to this spot for years (it has gone through a few iterations of Mexican joints, but all solid). Lucia has top-notch grub and drinks. I think they might have brought on a new chef since the last time I was here, because it is slightly different than what I have experienced in the past, but downright delicious. I went with my standard three tacos de asada -- they come perfectly prepared with a redish sauce that is simply mouth watering. The tacos also come with a strip of Mexican panela cheese. So DAMN GOOD! I also got a side of rice and beans... could have been prepared in my Grandma's kitchen! Service is also great. The night I went Michael was getting his ass kicked because there were several concerts going that night, but he took care of business like the pro he is. Treat yourself and get here!

Food: 9/10 The food was great! They served everything so fast we didn't have time to enjoy the appetizer. Service: 10/10 Our server was amazing and recommended great drinks and food Ambiance: 9/10 The place was great. The music at the perfect level to where you can have a conversation but not have it carry throughout the restaurant.

landed, checked in, threw our bags in the room and ran down to Lucia with the girls. we ordered a round, and I ordered the mango ceviche- so good! We also ordered quesa birria, (best we've had) caesar with ribeye (huge portion and delicious) and smores (underwhelming) and churros (shareable) for dessert. The place was beautifully decorated and would be a perfect date night setting. service was mid- but up be fair, it was near closing time and i'm sure these people wanted to go home.

Went for Saturday brunch around noon & sat outside. Service was on point. We ordered the Rajas con crema Enchiladas & the Breakfast Burrito. Both were delicious! Huge portions. Neither of us could finish. I never take home breakfast leftovers but definitely would have if I wasn't staying the night at the hotel.

Look, if you're staying at the Virgin Hotel and need an early late night bite, this works. Plenty of seating and tables- indoor or out. Our sever was friendly and did a decent job but we didn't know there was a cost for chips and dip. We ordered the pork belly and avocado which was good but you only get 3 pieces. Not worth it. On the positive, the shrimp tacos are delicious. Would I come here again? Only if I was staying and desperate to eat. 1 star for the fish tacos 1 star for restaurant hours and space availability I star for friendly service

Came for the brunch and to try small bites. Loved the seating, lighting and deco of the restaurant. This place used to be called casa cavalera. The pancakes were dry with a firm texture. The butter we requested was in liquid form and tasted like a burnt flavacol maybe ghee taste. The side of sausage was wonderful and their green salsa and chips were great too. The salsa are of a creamier texture. I'd come back to try their regular lunch/dinner menu.

This place is so much fun! The food was amazing. There was something for everyone. With a food allergy in our group they were so quick to swap things around and thoughtful about making sure everything was taken care of. Very accommodating. The tacos were wonderful and there were three choices of guacamole. The churros were a meal in themselves (make sure to save room for desert!) and unlike any I've ever had. There is music (a DJ and trumpet player together!) and a fun ambiance. Outdoor seating if you wish and a large bar area serving up great drinks. Don't be fooled by this being a new restaurant, they know what they are doing and this is a sure bet for great food and a fun night! Perfect after a concert or an evening of fun at the casino. The chef is fantastic!

Yum, this place hit the spot last night! Everything was flavorful and piping hot in the correct ways. Fajitas didn't disappoint, especially after a delicious side of chips and salsas. Our server, Jennifer was so sweet and such a kind human. She is such a natural people-person, with a really beautiful demeanor. The other servers and employees walking through the restaurant were just as helpful, no one had a "not my table, not my problem" attitude, everyone really seemed to look out for each other. Appreciated that! Definitely worth stopping in for a bite.

Hosts were super nice and gave us a cozy booth. The restaurant was tastefully decorated and nice and cool for the hot day. Calvin was our server he was fantastic and gave great suggestions on the food. We got the queso fondito and the ribeye Aguachiles ( he made sure we knew the way they are prepared, which we were) when I say amazing it's no joke. Best meal we have eaten out in a while. Would definitely recommend and will absolutely be back.

Rather limited brunch menu but the food was really good! The chicken sandwich is huge! Service was great and they even had a DJ playing. It wasn't really busy so we were seated quickly.

We went for Sunday brunch and the food was SO good. Sounds crazy, but the scrambled eggs were AMAZING! Service was ok - not fantastic, but not bad enough to take away a star. Just kind of slow. Bottomless mimosas- I did pineapple - were good. Get the chips and salsa - the chips are yummy!

The service was great. It doesn't appear that the decor has been updated since this was The Pink Taco. The menu items look great, but everyone in our party got major heartburn following our meal, which isn't normal. When ordering, our server asked if we were ok with spicy food, which we are. The thing is, the food didn't taste spicy at all. So strange. And the food quality just left a lot to be desired. We did like the salsa though.

Such a beautiful place, with some of the best authentic Mexican food I have ever tasted. Atmosphere was fantastic. The manager Alex really has this place running well. Food came out in a timely manner and was very, very fresh. The red and green sauces with the chips were fantastic. The salsa verde with the quesadilla was literally the best. Guac was to die for. 110% will be going back next time I'm in town!! Even the music was on point. This place is an absolute VIBE.

Great food and service! I thought the frozen spicy margarita had a kick to it but I personally enjoyed it. I also liked the birria omelette and wanted to try other food there but settled on it because it's one of the most commonly ordered dishes! My significant other ordered the torta which he really liked too. Would love to come back here next Vegas trip! We stayed at the virgin hotel and it was conveniently downstairs from the room, wait time was super short.

Amazing service! Everyone was kind and everything came out quick! I can't say how tasty this was . My hostess upgraded me to the patio as soon as possible. Mikey my server was incredible. I can't wait to come back and have another wonderful experience. The chef has the food seasoned to perfection . Love this spot

This restaurant used to be called Casa Calavera the new name Lucia is nothing new. The ambulance is exactly the same. There's no difference. There's really no difference in the menu. It might be somewhat brighter aesthetically but it's literally the same exact food just with a different name on it. Their services average, but I would say they open kind of late so if you're trying to get a lunch in your, they're not open so good luck with that ..

This place is okay. Nothing to rave home about. I got the ceviche, asada tacos, rice and beans and none of it was great. I love rice but this rice had no flavor. First and last time coming here.

This place was terrible. The soda's (sprite and Coke Zero) tasted like sewage, I'm assuming the fries were fried in some type of old fish oil. I wasn't expecting amazing Mexican food from this place, but everything was so bad. 2 stars because the service and ambiance were both good.

I miss when this place was pink taco! The food is good, not anything out of the ordinary. Basic Mexican. Service was great despite us having a party of 16. Good party atmosphere - we visited before going to a concert.

One of the least appetizing meals I have ever had. I wish that was an exaggeration. 2 other tables next to me also sent basically their entire meals back because they were so bad. The skirt steak tasted horrible, like the meat had gone off or it was just very old. The rest of the dish was cold and tasteless. The "mexican corn" is a quarter corn on the cob with butter, literally tasted exactly like what you'd get at KFC. Absolutely nothing authentically Mexican about any of the food. Even the salsa that comes with the chips is prepackaged crap not even fresh salsa. Only plus is the staff are all great and we're apologetic. Not their fault the food is verging on inedible.

We ate dinner here two nights in a row. We specifically came back because Kat, our server, was awesome. She is not only sweet and attentive, but her recomendations were spot on. Come, eat and drink, but ask for Kat. I would absolutely give her 100 stars. Keep up the amazing job, Kat!!

Wait staff was friendly but very slow wasn't very busy but after being seated it was a long time before anyone came to take drink orders or to see if we were ready to order. For food overall think for 3 tacos $20 was a bit much specially something that was pretty average.

Sarah E.

Yelp
I'm not a fan of the food changes since it changed to Lucia from the previous restaurant. For example, the taco meat is different & they no longer come with onion or cilantro, just a solid chunk of cheese on top. The new hours have them only open for dinner now too. It's still decent food and convenient if you want Mexican for dinner, but there's better options for sure.

Amazing food, the best vibes and fabulous service! Margaritas were on point. The Ensenata Oysters were perfect. I will be back!

The restaurant was blasting club-level music at 11 AM. You could hear it from the casino, disturbing everyone, and the windows were vibrating from the music. The restaurant was nearly empty. We had 2 hard of hearing people in our party. The hostess refused us a seat outdoors when we could see there was plenty of available seating (over half of the tables available). Since the restaurant was nearly empty and we couldn't sit outside, we asked her if the music could be turned down a bit and the hostess said "that's just what it is." We left.

Margaritas came out fast, they were VERY strong. Seemed like the goal was to get you drunk before the food came out to cover up that nothing had any flavor. The Lucia Burrito was so drowned in red and green sauce you couldn't taste anything else, and the sauce didn't even taste that good. The chicken fajitas was a slab of way over cooked chicken with ZERO seasoning, and the peppers tasted like... well peppers. The quesadilla was the same, cheese and some very very PLAIN chicken. Best thing we ate there was the chips, not the salsa just the chips... The 1 star is just because the waitress was fantastic so she gets her own star.

Overall ( respectfully ) we were truly unimpressed on all the food levels of this restaurant. Nice restaurant visually, as it always has been since 1999 when same exact layout opened as Pink Taco, but without the food quality of any former Mexican restaurant in this location since. Not comparing it to Pink Taco ( which was AMAZING ) and not comparing it to Casa Calavera ( same location just rebranded as Lucia ) but just on its own was unimpressed. Nachos were ok but cold and soggy. Birria tacos were not even close to what that dish is supposed to be and instead were just soft shell BASIC literally nothing tacos with dipping juice on the side and beyond underwhelming. Dessert was ok but again nothing wow or even slightly memorable. Ok place and just nothing special. Pretty much 100% of everything inside the building went down in quality on every level since Hard Rock turned into Virgin and this was just another sad let down... Respectfully.....

OMG, came for brunch and it was outstanding. Atmosphere was awesome with a DJ and a live trumpet player. My Paloma was delicious. I had the Rajas breakfast enchiladas and wow the tomatillo sauce was delicious. The pelote was also outstanding. Delicious brunch with terrific service, couldn't have asked for better.
