Lucia Mexican Grill

This little get away is inside the virgin hotel in Las Vegas when we were there we walked around looked at the sights and grabbed some dinner, we sat outside it was really nice quiet and cozy like a couch seating area our waiter was awesome I think his name was Calvin so attentive gave us some great recommendations. I had the chicken enchiladas so so so so delicious 😋 my hubby had the chile relleno both our dishes came with beans 🫘 and a side of rice 🍚 mine was our favorite because you can taste the homemade tortillas in the enchiladas and that was my ratatouille moment.... it was so elegant well plated 🍽 and very delishes I would give 10 stars 🌟 if I could and to relax while having dinner we both had a yummy spicy pineapple 🍍 margarita 🍹 😋 If you are ever in the area whether you are staying at the virgin hotel, driving through, or on the strip and you want some authentic Mexican food definetly stop by and try you won't be disappointed 😉

Great food and atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and seated us quickly, and our food service was very quick as well. We were there at a time that it wasn’t busy. Pictured is the carne asada tacos - these were delicious! They do have a spicy habanero salsa that’s also amazing but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you have a high tolerance for spicy, it’s actually spicy! All in all it was a good experience, I’d recommend it to anyone who wants a solid Mexican place.

I cannot say enough incredible things about Lucia at the Virgin Hotel! I came three times in just four days…twice for dinner and once for brunch and every single experience was flawless. For brunch, we were lucky to be helped by Christian, who was so warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about our experience. I asked to speak with the chef, and to my surprise, he actually came out to meet us. He was incredibly humble and kind, taking the time to talk about his team and the passion behind their dishes. You can tell he not only loves what he does but deeply values his staff and it shows in every bite. The food was exceptional each time -beautifully plated, full of flavor, and clearly crafted with intention. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between upscale and inviting, making it just as ideal for a relaxing brunch as it is for a special night out. Lucia has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The combination of world-class food, genuine hospitality, and a chef who leads with heart makes this place truly special. I can’t wait to come back again soon!

5 star service, 5 star food, and the staff was 10 stars! We stayed at virgin hotel for formula 1 weekend, we ate at all the restaurants including Nobu and Kassi, and nobody compared to Lucia’s. Amazing food and even better service. Next time we come back this will be our spot! 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone.

We popped over to Lucia after working up an appetite lounging at the pool and had a delightful experience hosted by Christian! All four of us were very happy with our meals, drinks, and service. Christian offered us great recommendations sprinkled with lots of personality. Don’t sleep on the churro for dessert - it’s huge (plenty for four of us to share) and the sauces it comes with are extraordinary!

I love this place. Great food and drinks. Unlimited mimosas at brunch. And a picture of margaritas. It's only $43 and then they have $5 Taco Tuesday.

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.

Second time going to this restaurant in my life, went back when it was under a different name last year and it is even better now! Went during brunch on Saturday before F1 and it was amazing. There was no wait when I walked in. The hostess at the front was so nice and had the biggest smile on her face when I walked in. She was very accommodating even letting me choose between a table or a booth for my comfort. My server and everyone else I interacted with were also so kind. Seems like a great environment to work in. Not to mention the food was delicious. You cannot beat $17 bottomless mimosas! They had live music and a guitarist singing. Would highly recommend to anyone stopping in Las Vegas!

We checked in and after dropping stuff off at our room, we headed here for dinner for Taco Tuesday. We were famished after our flight and we tried a variety of tacos for $5 each. We tried the carne asada, shrimp, fish, chicken, and carnitas tacos. I didn't love the shrimp and fish, as they just were breaded and tasted ok, but I like the carne asada and chicken tacos. They were filled with lots of meat. We also didn't have to wait long for our food after ordering. For dessert we shared churros and it was a very large churro with 3 sauces. It's definitely a dessert to be shared by at least 2 people. I enjoyed the variety of sauces. The service was attentive, but not overbearing. I enjoyed our experience and the food!

Service was excellent! Waiters very friendly and respectful. Delicious, Gigantic churro! Enjoyed it with chocolate sauce. The berry sauce is cold and eating salsa with churro was foreign to me, so stuck with chocolate. Thoroughly enjoyed. Tried to finish it, but too much! Fish tacos for my main meal weren't fresh, but this dessert made up for it! Ambiance is lively. They play house versions of pop, hip hop and top 100 songs

Virgin offered me some dining credit and I wanted to try something other than Kassi Beach, so we decided to hit up the happy hour here. We sat at the bar. Bartenders were amazing. We ordered 4 Carne Asada tacos at 5 dollars each for Taco Tuesday. We also got some chips and salsa for 4 dollars and a side of beans for 6. Beers were 5 dollars for Happy hour...I loved the beer glasses and the beer tasted great. Chips and Salsa just OK..not sure why they served two Salsas that did not even closely resemble traditional salsa...nor could I figure out what created that color? Sour cream or crema? Bizarre. Tacos arrived and they tasted ok as well..they do a wierd large slice of cheese rather than shredded...and usually on carne asada tacos there is no cheese...so it was also confusing...these were served with the same green "salsa" that came with the chips. Beans were quite good. I wonder if I will return and try something else? The restaurant is beautiful... but why serve up peculiar Mexican cuisine?

We stayed at the Virgin Hotel in Vegas and decided to try this restaurant since it's inside the hotel. It wasn't too crowded, our server was excellent, and everyone in my party thought the food was pretty good. My favorite was the guac and chicharrón appetizer, though it could definitely use more chicharrón since it only came with a few pieces. I'd happily come back and eat here again.

This Mexican restaurant inside the Virgin Hotel is super cute, with a fun and colorful vibe that matches the energy of Vegas. The back patio opens right out to the pool in the center of the hotel, which makes it a really fun setting whether you're there for brunch or dinner. It feels lively and stylish but still comfortable enough to just hang out and enjoy. Food-wise, the quesadilla was hands down the best I've ever had--perfectly cheesy, crispy, and so flavorful. And the pancake tacos? Absolutely to die for, such a creative dish and totally worth ordering. Between the atmosphere and the food, this was one of the most memorable meals of my trip.

The restaurant set up and decor is cute. Our service was great. He answered our questions and gave suggestions. I ended up ordering the salmon bowl, my friend ordered the Caesar salad and added steak and we shared the guacamole trio. Everything was good. My salmon had a good flavor and was tasty. My friend like her salad. The guacamole is a must try.

This is a restaurant in the Virgin Hotel. It was a cute vibe and not overall busy on the weekend. What I loved most was the affordable bottomless mimosas! Only $16! I also saw that they had a daily happy hour for margaritas too, but I didn't get to partake.

We arrived on a Wednesday night and the place was not busy and we sat at the bar. Our server was friendly and engaging. I had a tequila old fashioned that was delicious. I am still not sure how he made it but it was really good. My friend had a Texas margarita and it was really good. I have a garlic allergy and our bartender did his diligence and went to the kitchen to see what I could have. I had the shrimp quesadilla and it was really good. They took good care of us and the prices were not that bad. The happy hour special is good but it is only 5-6 for cheaper drinks and apps.

Went with friends and had a wonderful time! We ordered bottomless mimosas and I got the huevos rancheros. Tried the pineapple mimosas and some with a mixture of cranberry and pineapple and I preferred the pineapple flavor. The huevos rancheros were creamy and delicious. Service was awesome! Ambiance was beautiful with murals up everywhere and a gorgeous flower wall at the entrance...perfect for pics! Look forward to going back!!

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

No bad experience here for me. It was pretty empty when I stopped in. Came in for a quick solo dinner after work. The bartenders were extremely helpful and nice. They got me my food quickly and made sure I was taken care of from a service standpoint. The bowl was delicious and definitely on the larger side of portions. The place itself is in the virgin hotel and has a pretty decent vibe. They would probably drive more business if they had a better experience in the back area of the place. Either way. Solid spot. Cheers!

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!

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.

Last night I ordered a grilled chicken breast to-go and waited at the bar. One of the bartenders was kind and gave me water while I waited. The other bartender that took my order was thoughtful and asked about seasoning. (Hopefully he doesn't get in trouble) Tonight, my 2nd night here, I called to place an order for pick-up and was told it'd be a 5-10 min wait. Nice and quick! Then I got a call back. The woman hostess informed me that there's a $4 to-go fee because I'm not eating my "$5 Taco Tuesday" taco in the restaurant. I then asked her to then take the taco off my order. She asked if I want to cancel the whole order, I said no. She asked if I still want to place it with the $4 charge, I said no I'm no longer getting the taco. Then she told me no there's still a fee and all to-go orders charge a $4 fee. After giving me attitude she suggested I speak to the manager. After speaking to the manager he informed me that the bar messed up and I should've been charged the $4 fee on top of my $10 chicken breast I ordered the night before to cover the cost of the to-go bag, and set of plastic ware. If a restaurant needs to charge $4 for a small bag, a set of plastic ware and a box for my chicken breast to keep their head above water, they may need to look for a new supplier.

Love the decor of this cool hidden gem inside the Virgin Hotel and Casino. The food was incredible from app to entree. We got the street corn which's so flavorful, hot and juicy. For our entrees we got the tacos, enchiladas. This place is definitely getting a repeat visit from us! Oh, and don't forget the margaritas they're excellent.!

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.

It a beautiful restaurant. The music is amazing the DJ was playing and the music wasn't super overwhelming you can still have a conversation without having to be yelling. The bottomless mimosas were pretty good. I had orange juice and cranberry mix and my sister had cranberry and pineapple and my other sister pineapple. My sister order birria tacos and they were delicious juicy tender meat. My other sister order asada tacos and also the meat was good. My niece had the breakfast burrito and it was a nice size that she shared with her mom and it was filling. The pancakes were fluffy and they needed no butter it was already sweet enough. I truly wanted to have the chilaquiles the server brought me the red and green sauce to try first because I am not much of a spicy eater and oh my goodness the sauce where good so much good flavor and for me the spice heat was a little bit more than mild. But the green sauce was my favorite. So I order the French toast and I was like okay one slices of bread with cornflakes on top was French toast I was okay I will try it and I was very disappointed because it was literally I took a bite and I could not eat it. It was really just bread with cornflakes. The server was polite and that's about it there. The street corn was good.

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.

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!

good ambience and service but the food wasnt that great. tacos were alright but the meat is the problem, it wasnt as tasty and just felt off for some reason. wasnt a fan of their ceviche either. my favorite was their chips and salsa- thats was very good and i ate so much!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Must try - guacamole with mango and chamoy, salmon bowl, street corn, Tamarind Margarita with Tajin rim. Love, love, love!!! Ambiance is awesome, music, lighting, art, all lovely. Great, friendly, timely service.

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.

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.

Was here at the Virgin for 4 days for a couples getaway and we came to Lucia twice - Christian was our server both times and we were so happy to have him! He was funny, energetic, and a pleasure to talk to. We loved the queso fundido (something we had both visits), the nachos with carnitas, and the shrimp ceviche - we also had the tuna tostadas which was tasty... However, and this is my advice to management: take the tuna out of the can!! The presentation is better when it doesn't look like friskies cat food .

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.

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 ..

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.

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.

Food was very good.. street corn was phenomenal. Good deal for three course menu. Service was good.

Food not great way overpriced , had to remake my food was ice cold and took another 15 minutes, food would have been better at Taco Bell . Just not worth the money or time , too dark then they went outside to fold umbrellas and blinded us . Salsa was gross should have pre warn you . Will not return here

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.

Gross food and rude staff. The menu says they have salsa but when you order it you get hot sauce. Someone in my party asked if they have actual salsa and the waitress went on a whole tangent about how it is salsa and couldn't fathom what we could be asking about only to tell us that they don't serve traditional salsa right after. Salmon bowl is not good idk who decided to put refried beans in a salad but it was not the move. Food was bland and not worth the price at all. All other dishes are just covered in the same 'salsa' and they take forever to bring out the food only for it to end up cold. The cheese they put on their tacos looks like chicken and is served frozen on top of the hot food. This place sucks and shouldn't be allowed to call their what they serve Mexican food

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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!

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.....

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.

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.
