An amazing Hollywood establishment that has not changed since the 60s. Hosted by an incredible waiter by the name of Edwin we enjoyed the evening with the best margaritas in town and excellent Mexican cuisine. Nestled right on the corner of Melrose avenue right across the street from Paramount studios, you could almost pass this place if you weren't paying attention but do make the effort if you have not been. It's a wonderful dining experience, fast and friendly service with ambiance and Hollywood history all wrapped into one.

Mexican food and service here is great. I wanted to post a food pic but it looked so good I couldn't stop. Next time I'll be back with my relatives.

Its hard to give a tex-mex restaurant five stars. But They treat you like they are genuinely happy you came. The food is typical tex-mex fare, however everything is fresh, well prepared and reasonably priced. The restaurant has a rich history. Googling it will be entertaining.

I am Italian born and raised and the homemade food here is simply amazing! It seems you have never left Italy, fresh and REAL. RECOMMENDED if you want to try one of the best Italian food ever.

I ate my first meal at Lucy's in 1969 or 1970. I lived in Hollywood at the time so it was easy to be a regular. When I moved around the corner onto Windsor, there were days I ate there twice.I moved away in 1978 to the East coast and haven't found better Mexican food since. I had the occasion to visit L.A. in the 90s and Lucy's was one of my first stops. I had one other gray meal there about ten years ago and the food hadn't changed. You're missing something if you don't try it.

The only reason there’s one star is because I can’t give it 0. The food was DISGUSTING when you walk in the restaurant had a gross smell. The service was slow and it was way to expensive. The food was absolutely not worth it my family and I left with only one bite taken. I do not recommend.

I liked it only because it was across the street from the studio but unfortunately aside from the cold beer everything else was a little bit mediocre except for the carne asada which turned out to be pretty good sirloin steak

I really like this place. It's a pretty large restaurant and there is always a spot to go for a quiet meal. The food is standard Mexican American fare. There are a two outdoor areas to have a meal or a drink. The restaurant is a popular celebrity hideout. It's located near a few Studios on Melrose and is almost always quiet. A newspaper article framed on the wall describes the atmosphere perfectly "where the elite meet discreetly."

Server let us sit without menus, water or service after we waited 20 minutes and explained to the server that we had to go in 45 minutes. Need a manager to help customers.

This place has been there for years, has a placque from the city of Los Angeles in appreciation, and serves the best salad dressing I've ever tasted. The food is delicious, although a bit pricey, I make it a definite stop on my list whenever I'm in the area.

I always make a first test with Chile Relleno in a Mexican place (Huntsville a mistake); ever since Linda Ronstadt met Jerry Brown here, the test was a smash success. I imagine Paramount happy worker-bees here for lunch daily! Killer Margaritas too, happy hour!
