The staff is proud of their delicious food and drinks; we like that personal touch. Terrific mojitos, Cuban black bean soup, and Pork Adobo. With 2 grande mojitos, we shared the soup & pork plus an appetizer for 400 pesos + tip. Not fancy atmosphere, but fun, with Cuban music in the background. Love it! Located right on the Sabalo...

We were in Mazatlan during Holy Week, and Carlos and Lucia's offered a nice break from the crowded streets. What a treat to also have such good food and gracious service! We enjoyed live music after dinner, and when we had to leave it felt like we were leaving family! Can't wait to go back!

We've eaten here many times. We always love the food - from tacos to pork chops. My favorite soup is the Garlic Soup, it's just delicious. Had the shrimp salad also this visit. No little salad shrimp here. Big 1" guys and at least 20-25. Homemade Thousand Island they let me try before ordering. We all shared onion rings too.... More

We were here with friends and all of us enjoyed our meals. The cuban sandwich was a little different than I have had at other places ... even Little Havana in Miami. That said, it was delicious ... the pork was so good! The black bean soup was wonderful and the guacomole was wonderful, as well. My husband really enjoyed... More

Three of us went here for lunch, I had the "Tacos Lucias", which were the best tacos I have had since living here for 6 months a year for the past 5 years. Our friend had the Cuban Sandwich which he said was very good and he is a retired professional chef. My wife had the Cuban pork and said... More

My sister and I stopped here for a quick lunch. We both had the Cuban Black Bean soup. It was excellent and the presentation was really nice! I included a picture. I put my spoon in the soup before I remembered to take the picture! We also ordered chips & salsa and they brought a "refill" of chips when we... More

We went there for lunch and had a Cuban Pork Sandwich. It was very good and the service was great. We dressed up in the decorations and Carlos took our picture. It was a fun time!

Great atmosphere, and very friendly people. Guacamole was chunky and flavorful, and the ropa vieja was tender and juicy. But, the real gem was the Deviled Shrimp, which was too die for. We wanted to go back the next day to have it again, but sadly they were closed on Sunday and we left on Monday. Carlos, please send us... More

My wife and daughter just visited this fantastic resteraunt and were blown away with how great the food is. The Cuban style shrimp was delicious. I also highly recommend the mojito. I've had great mojitos in both Cuba and Mexico and this is near the top of the list. I also recommend getting a side of onion rings. They serve... More

Not knowing where to eat, my sister and I just happened to stop in at Carlos and Lucia's (it was very close to El Cid, where we were staying). We had never really had Cuban food before, so we thought it would be fun to try something new. And boy am I glad we did! IT WAS SO DELICIOUS! I... More
