    Fantastic from every angle. We had the ceviche de atun, mussels con chorizo, and mofongo. Mariposa and Margarita de passion cocktails. Flavorful food, well crafted drinks, and every staff member was attentive and friendly. We will absolutely be returning soon!

    Food and prices are good; service is excellent. BUT: the noise level is impossibly LOUD. Unrelenting, impossible to hear or talk without a lot of effort. Will not be back unless I just want a meal without much conversation.

    Everything was amazing, from the cocktails to every dish we tried. We mainly came for the paella, and it did not disappoint! Just a heads-up: let your server know right away if you’re ordering paella, since it takes about 45 minutes to prepare. Totally worth the wait!

    Lucina was an absolutely fabulous experience. The food was eclectic and fresh. Cocktails were a little on the pricey side, but the food was fantastic.

    Excellent, some of the best food I’ve had in Denver. They also have a great happy hour, both drinks and food. We got multiple small plates to share and enjoyed every single thing. Can’t wait to go back!

    Our first experience at Lucina will not be our last. I was immediately swept in by the coastal decor and light-filled atmosphere. Our server guided us through the menu, no matter how many questions we had, and shared knowledge about the cuisine, dishes and drink selection. Each dish presented new, fresh flavors that took us on a journey with the chef and his travels. Highlights included trying tinned fish for the first time, mixing egg yolk into our buttery choclo, and filling up on empanadillas. The pacing was leisurely, the atmosphere welcoming and we left looking forward to our next voyage.
