Lucy’s Ensenada Mexican - Joplin

Pork street tacos hit the spot and their salsa is great!

Very friendly staff! The food was amazing. We ordered Menudo, Lucy's Special, and the Birria. Everything, including the housemade hot sauce was phenomenal. Their queso is also fabulous. Will definitely recommend!

I personally think it rates the high star rating it has. The plated food might be different than the buffet, but the buffet itself was somewhat lacking.No soft shell taco shells, no chips for nachos, no salsa at the buffet. Some of the options seemed cool/cold, and should've been hot. Small buffet selection overall, though what I did get wasn't bad.In short, it was filling, but not satisfying. 3/5.

We eat a fair amount of Mexican food at restaurants when we travel. Lucy’s had a really good review, but I was sorely disappointed. The service was prompt, but I don’t think I’ve eaten food this bland, especially Mexican, ever! I ordered the chicken burrito which came with rice and beans. The chicken actually appeared to be of very good quality, but had no taste whatsoever. I took a few bites, but did not finish it. There were no veggies, guacamole, sour cream, or pico de gallo with it. The same with the rice and beans… no flavor… at all. My husband ordered the chicken taco salad, which I tasted, but actually it wasn’t much better.I am not one to leave an unfavorable review, but this was just so disappointing.

Nice place, food was good, service has a sense of humor which is fun
