Lucero’s Taqueria Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

  • Rick E.

    In the former Dairy Queen across the street from Mills School, a barricade of white iron bars over the windows gives a forbidding appearance, but the aroma of authentic Mexican flavors invites you into Lucero's Taqueria. This friendlier, cozier alternative to Taqueria Las Morenas is just a couple blocks up East Main, and it boasts a broader menu than Las Morenas including pupusas. The secret of the pupusa's brilliant flavor and value has gotten out in larger cities, but I'm pretty sure that this is the only place peddling this comforting Salvadorean delight in the Klamath Basin. I tried a pupusa and two tacos al pastor during my first visit to Lucero's. The tacos contended toe-to-toe with those at Las Morenas on the flavor front, but they were packed a bit more generously, thus snatching the crown. The pupusa was different than others I've eaten...crispier, less moist, pounded flatter but with a larger diameter approaching a personal-sized pizza. Pupusas are always provided with salsa and curtido (sorta lika a spicy slaw of pickled carrots and cabbage). Unlike other curtidos I've experienced, this was mostly shaved carrots, but it was okay. Lucero's pupusas are not my favorite pupusas, but they were imminently edible and then some, and a good gullet-filling value for $2-3. Old Dairy Queens can be repurposed as Mexican restaurants pretty naturally, especially on the interior where the brickwork--seemingly in a state of arrested early decay--resembles a quaint little taqueria in old Mexico. I ate at an ancient place in Tecate with a similar vibe. I've loyally returned to Las Morenas each of the last dozen times I've visited K Falls, but from now on, I will be splitting my allegiance, and when I don't have enough time to eat at both, I will be choosing Lucero's as my new favorite.

    After hearing about this place for 7 years, I finally went in. From the outside it is nothing fancy at all, in fact, it's a little scary - bars on the windows of an old Dairy Queen in arguably the worst neighborhood in town, but it IS right across the street from Mills Elementary School, so it's not really that bad a location at all. Inside there are four little tables. Pictures of their dishes adorn the walls to the right of the counter. It is behind this wall, in the kitchen, where the magic happens. I'm really not sure how this place, of all the would-be Mexican joints in town, serves the best Mexican food, but it does, by a mile! All the brick and mortar places pail in comparison to the complexity and authenticity that comes out of this tiny kitchen on East Main. In fact, I simply won't go anywhere else for my south-of-the-border fix. My go-to is the Adobada Burrito Supreme with everything, but I have had almost everything else and it's phenomenal. They also serve tongue & cheek too, which is something you can't get anywhere else that I know of. There are usually only a couple people working, but they are kind and the service is speedy. Great place to grab a lunch on the fly. I love this damn place! It is one our best kept secrets in the Basin.

    Delicious. The pork pups was great and filling at $3.50! The place is legit. I ordered water and they asked if I wanted tap or bottled water. I paused and then had to remind myself that I was in America :)

    We wanted compare Luceros and Las Marenos so we got tacos from both and a few other things today. I liked Luceros better and my wife liked Las Marenos. Luceros was really good. Not much to look at inside but enough to sit and eat authentic Mexican food. Had the Birria tacos and Burrito. Tons of food. The lady working was very nice. Coming from a place with great Mexican food, I would say this was right up there.

    On my drive from Bend to Redding, wanted to stop for a bite to eat. After reading the other reviews, gave this place a try. A little off the beaten path, but so worth it! Delicious sopes and tacos. Pork was amazing. This is definitely an authentic taqueria.

    Apparently open for 13 years (and 4 or so years by the current owner), I thought hmmm, 6 reviews? But I saw the nice bright interior while driving by so stopped in with the family on our way through town (exterior of other place down the street wasn't too inviting). I'm glad we did; the food was fresh, big, and good. Papusas made to order (big ones for $3.50), and a big tasty wet burrito with sour cream and guacamole for $7.50. Homemade horchata also tasty ($2 for a large with just enough ice). Try them out yourself and give them some props on yelp!

    Just driving through Klamath Falls and needed some good food for me and the grandkids. They were quick and the food was delicious! Ate it on the road and everyone was full and happy! The chicken burrito was great and loaded with chicken. No complaints here! Would definitely stop there again!

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
