If you grew up in Los Angeles, chances are you’ve been to a Lucy’s. The drive thru offers a convenience most taquerias do not with no drop in quality or taste.

What makes Lucy’s special is the flavor in their meat. The carne asada is loaded with flavor, the chorizo is spicy and the al pastor has an unbelievable kick. They also use a sharper cheese than most Mexican places, giving tacos, quesadillas, and burritos a tasty offset for the meat.

Lucy’s also makes American food. A combo with a burger, fries and a drink costs just $4. The $2 al la carte bag of fries is loaded and easily serves two people.

If you’re on the west end of Mid-City and need some munchies, Lucy’s is convenient, cheap and very, VERY tasty.

Burritos are loaded with meat, cheese and goodness
