⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — A. Kiss
First, I've tried almost everything on the menu, and every bite is AMAZING! Tried the elote tonight, and it too was so good! Your order comes out quickly! The entire staff is so friendly and it's such a welcoming environment. They are genuinely happy you're there to eat. I will keep going back again and again. If you haven't tried it... YOU SHOULD! 😉

I love eating here...easy to order and food comes out very quickly. Amazing food - the "Build your own..." allows for customizing your own burrito, nachos, protein bowl, etc. Their queso is veryyyyyy good! The wait staff is very friendly and always checks in on if the food is satisfactory (it is always exceptional!)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jim Kapanka
Excellent food created by staff who understand authentic cuisine and prepare it uniquely for each order. Service is good — hindered only because my Spanish is not as proficient as their English. Our large party of 8 was served quickly, with a smile, and follow-up questions at the table to make sure everyone received what they ordered — we did, and it was great! This is a counter service establishment with dine-in service and seating for about 20 patrons. Everybody helps with service and busing and we were happy to do so!! Great family restaurant. Plan to return with friends!

Perfect authentic Mexican food. It was so delicious and I rarely post about restaurants unless they knock my socks off and it did. They filled the tacos with so much meat and it wasn’t to bad priced.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Steve Stolarczyk
Food is fantastic. Great little restaurant. Great service They have a different interpretation of what a salad means. The taco salad I got was the best tortilla shell bowl I've had in a long time filled with grilled steak, fajita vegetables, and rice, garnished with lettuce, along with cheese, guacamole, etc. It was really good. Will definitely be returning.

This was my 1st time at the Lugos Caro, Mi location but not my 1st time at Lugos. Parking is right in front of the door and accessible to everyone. When I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and a friendly hello. Its a very fun atmosphere that brings a colorful, lively culture to this town. The restaurant was very clean and smelled amazing from the aroma coming from the kitchen. There was plenty room for seating and the tables were far enough apart that you could have a conversation and didn't have to speak over other conversations in the restaurant. The prices are fair and the portions are HUGE!!! Im always amazed at how much you get on your plate. Not once have I ever had a bad experience or bad meal here. The food is exquisite 👌🏻 If you want more bang for your buck and a delectable treat for your taste buds; I highly reccomend Lugos!! The staff is always so cheerful, kind and welcoming. They are patient and take their time to explain anything you have a question about on the menu as well! Lugos is most definitely my favorite spot to hang out and enjoy the many different menu options available. 😋 Id give them more stars if it were allowed LOL! I give them 5 stars and two thumbs up! 👍🏻 👍🏻
