    We loved the beautiful views and we had an excellent waiter. The portions were small for the price but the cost was worth it for the atmosphere. We would recommend it to others for special occasions.

    Very pleased with my first time at Lucero, the atmosphere was wonderful and quiet. The food was wonderful, the experience overall was well worth it. Food was not terribly expensive nor the drinks. Very pleased with my first visit and will 100% be returning. Thank you Anthony (our cool server) for taking great care of my date and I.

    It was great until we go to the place and they said we needed to pay 250$ to sit a the fire. So not what I was expecting. Probably won’t go back because of this.

    Expected better service and some items identified on menu as GF really weren’t gluten free. Not as good as other Omni’s I have been at. Also, if you cannot go up to restaurant until 5pm - don’t take a 5pm reservation - parking for $15 for less than 2 hours is crazy.

    We sat on the outdoor patio. It was a beautiful evening and the view is amazing. The Wagyu Tacos and the Truffle Fritas were delicious, while the cauliflower as just ok. The drinks were beautifully crafted, and the Hibiscus Collin’s is the best version of a Tom Collin’s I’ve ever had. The servers were attentive. A great evening out!

    The restaurant and ambience are lovely. The outdoor area is great for views. The food presentations were very nice, however, the food was tasteless. Lacking in flavor. We have the Birria empanadas and the birria had little flavor. The beef was very tender, but lacking flavor. We also had the Short Rib Croquettes. Again nice presentation, but totally lacking in flavor in the meat, the coating and the accompaniments. Also had the Charred Carrots... very pretty, but again the sauce under the carrots lacked any flavor. We know the food is not good when we do not finish :( :(. They need a chef that is going to keep them in the game... it is tough to be successful in the Phoenix Metro area. There are so many great and yummy, flavorable restaurants.
