Nicely styled open restaurant with good a/c. Service was a little slow and we were one of only 3 tables at 3 pm. Food was fresh, delivered hot and very tasty; good value. All four guests were pleased. Coke products and full bar available.

Our family of 3 all enjoyed our food and drinks at this unique little restaurant. We've visited Ponce previously but not this part of town. It was very neat the way they transformed an old warehouse (that I think was for port storage) into a quaint cafe. Our seafood mofongo and churrasco were excellent as was the coffee and rum drinks we enjoyed.

We are a coffee-loving family, we frequently visit places like these...we have turned PR around...disliking coffee and what each place we go offers...unfortunately, Not recommended. I went on Sunday with my family. I understand that the waitress was not comfortable with serving my family. It hurts a very beautiful place. But the service was quite terrible. She was never attentive to the table. She didn't even offer us an additional drink for the food, almost finished, the other waitress arrived, bringing a mess that was missing... and we asked her for the juices, one of them was too difficult to get through, very intolerable, she was asked to change it, she didn't want to. change it gave a suggestion to add sugar..??? How that was going to solve the problem...I don't know...
I don't remember the name but it was Sunday, January 18...we were the first to arrive that day, a girl with light eyes...I recommend that you guide her to provide a better service, unfortunately, there are no positive recommendations. Not much to say, many times one contributes a grain of sand in maintaining the economy of our country, enjoying the delight of the food here, and keeping these businesses so that they do not close and unfortunately, they do not go the extra mile for that customer. I am back. And create positive patterns in other people, we get a bittersweet taste, which I would not repeat, nor recommend.

The place had been recommended strongly by several people. I ordered a hamburger they was way over cooked and we also had fish, also hard and burnt. The service was ok but we were the only ones in the place and we had to wait for the waitress to take our order. It was not a great culinary experience.

We decided to visit Cafe Lucero for my girlfriend's birthday. It has good reviews and the food in the photos looked yummy. We had high expectations. The restaurant is located in an historic, but unkept area of Ponce PR. I liked the decoration and ambiance which portrays the hacienda's coffee culture.
Food was well presented. We had a fritters platter which was tasty. Unfortunately on that day they did not have the risotto, so we ordered stuffed chicken breasts, The stuffed breast was well seasoned and tasted good, I would liked more salt on the fired plantain. In my opinion the highlight of the evening was the coffee.
The service could be better. I understand that most restaurants are understaffed due to the effects of the pandemic. We were greeted cordially and our waitress took our order in a timely manner, but, other aspects of the service can be improved. The food took a long time to arrive, even though the restaurant wasn't packed. At one point the waitress did not followed up on our table. It was difficult to get drinks and even our check.
Will I be back? Maybe, definitely for coffee
Should you try it? Yes, and reach your own conclusions

We all had frozen coffee drinks which were very good. Breakfast was good as well. Nice server. Service was slow for being so quiet but when you are on vacation and you’re on island time, it doesn’t matter.

Great place to eat! It is a breakfast-lunch restaurant that serves delicious dishes. My wife enjoyed her stack of blueberry pancakes, and my Lucero Omelet was pure pleasure. Cinco Estrellas!

We were looking for some breakfast while passing through Ponce and saw the reviews on Tripadvisor so decided to give this a try. So glad we did! The outside isn't much and we drove by a couple times trying to find it, but the inside is surprisingly light and airy. The food and coffee were fabulous. I had the fruit crepes which were stuffed with perfectly ripe fresh fruit (strawberries, kiwi, banana, and blueberry). My partner had the french toast and would recommend it. It looked like mix of people inside from a group of ladies celebrating a birthday to folks with laptops getting work done.
