About Lucia's
Lucia's is a taco restaurant on White Post Lane in London, cooking its tacos on a charcoal BBQ grill with real corn tortillas. Seating runs along bar stools facing the counter, where the chefs work in view. The menu stays small, with 30 dishes covering the range, and the pork jowl taco stands out alongside the michelada. Monkfish tacos, a crab tostada and a bone marrow dish also turn up on repeat orders. The space is compact, and seating grows tighter in winter. It operates on a walk-in basis with no reservations, open daily. Sitting next to Hackney Wick station, it works as a stop for a small plate of tacos rather than a long sit-down meal.

Customer Review Summary
Pork jowl tacos are the dish reviewers name most, described as phenomenal and overfilled, with the monkfish tacos close behind. The bone marrow, the crab tostada, the prawns and the beef barbacoa tacos also draw praise, and one reviewer points to real corn tortillas and food cooked on a charcoal grill. Drinks get their own mentions, including the Michelada, Palomas and a margarita. Several describe friendly, knowledgeable staff and a small, hole in the wall room with music from a vintage hi-fi. The caveats are modest. One reviewer found service a little slow and the food pricier than expected, and the same person notes seating is limited in winter. Another was skeptical at first because of how small the place is. Bar seats face the kitchen, and one diner watched the bone marrow being prepped while the chef checked in a couple of times during a busy service.

“A standout spot in Hackney Wick—highly recommended! Food was delicious, generously portioned, and meticulously presented. I cannot wait to try out the rest of the menu!”
- Nandini Chandra
“Wandered into this little place right next to Hackney Wick station. It’s truly a hole in the wall vibe. We sat in bar stools inside a cozy inside space, across the bar we could literally see the chefs prepping our INCREDIBLE bone marrow dish. We also had the pork jowl tacos which were phenomenal if you love your tacos overfilled and delicious (which I do). The monkfish and beef Barbacoa tacos were also very good! The staff was friendly, and the chef checked in on how we were enjoying things a couple of times during his busy running of the kitchen! I Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun, delicious casual lunch in london!”

“Such a stunning spot, reallly yummy tasty food, small menu which is perfect if you like authentic Mexican food with a twist! Wonderful staff, extremely polite and knowledgeable about what was on the menu. Recommend the crab tostada and monkfish! Has to be washed down with a couple Palomas😍 …”

“Super tasty tacos and food and great experience. The margarita was very good too. My and my girlfriend loved this Tacos place and we’ll definitely be back soon. Honestly, when we Mexican our we usually get a but disappointed, but this spot has it all and the food is really good prepared on a charcoal bbq grill. Great vibe and music coming out of a vintage hi-fi. 5 stars well deserved”

“One of the best taco spots we've visited in London. The food was outstanding, but the monkfish tacos and prawns were the real highlights - both packed with flavour and cooked perfectly. We'll definitely be back 🌮❤️”
