Having read a variety of the reviews here (all of the "terrible" ones, a few of the "poor", a couple of the "excellent"...), one can see that they ALL "ring true"! One's evaluation of this restaurant depends upon WHO you are, WHERE you're "coming from", WHAT you expect from the place and HOW to "read between the lines". We were... More

The food was very authentic Spanish. Our waiter couldn't speak english, but that wasn't a problem for us, luckily. He was also very attentive and very very professional and nice. Best restaurant experience in Madrid so far. The food was very delicious and the price is very reasonable. You have to try the rabos de toro.

The food is very very tasty. A litle bit overpriced but it's worth it! Nice environment and excellent service. We had fish and it was so fresh... The notorious '"potatoes with eggs" was the best of all though.

Classical oldtime atmosphere and decoration, an amazing service and the food taste is out of this world. Many dishes too choose from, all we tate were incredible (huevos rotos, zetas, carne, pescado) ... and is located on a busy area that seems quiet fun at nights.

My girlfriend and I were in Madrid for a week and wanted to try their local cuisine. Out hotel front desk recommended a place that didn't get good ratings on tripadvisor. So we wandered on the streets near the la latina metro station a bit and saw a bunch of tourists taking pictures outside this restaurant. We thought it MUST... More

We were 8 persons last night and the restaurant was full. Obviously it is a famous one. Taste was good, there were several choices. Service was very slow and nobody spoke English. Housewine was also great.

I have been to Casa Lucio twice now and it keeps impressing me. It is a traditional Spanish place with over 40 years of existence and innumerable prizes from all over the world. It is highly demanded by locals which shows its authentic quality. Definitely worth the visit and the prices. It is nice to see old Lucio wondering around... More

We did a business dinner in Lucio recently. It was the first time after hearing so much talk about its fried eggs with chips, that the King of Spain goes to eat. I have to say they were good, but not the only thing at all, nice lamb, nice roasted baby pork, good beef and other good dishes. It can't... More
