Luncheria Mexican Food — Restaurant in Christiansted

Luncheria Mexican restaurant in Christiansted is a gem. I happened upon it accidentally. It's an outside dining venue. Nothing fancy here. I stopped in on a Thursday evening and there was a gentleman playing Jazz (really enjoyable). You order your food and beverage at the counter where Louis is just the nicest person. I ordered the Veggie Quesadillas and a beer. Lenny delivered my food to the pick up window with a broad welcoming smile. The Quesadilla was great and the beer ice cold. I ate my meal under the canopy next to a huge beautiful old tree with the breeze blowing, the night birds singing, and lovely Jazz being played. As I disposed of my empty plate and bottle thinking that it couldn't get much better Lenny walked out and called me by name and thanked me for dining with them and to please return. Customer...

We ate here the night we arrived in St. Croix. It was a small, quaint little restaurant with a patio – just a bar and a few tables. There were quite a few items that sounded good on the menu but ultimately, I chose the quesadilla and my husband chose the chimichanga. The only reason I gave 4 stars on the food is because I would have liked the quesadilla to have a bit more flavor but my husband said his chimi was delicious. The day we were there, the owner Lenny was working. He was running the bar and from the looks of it, also cooking the food. He was a really nice guy and let us ask him all sorts of questions about the island, where he would recommend us going to and was just a really cool guy. We stayed talking to him for quite a bit and will definitely be back when we go back...

If I could give this place a -1 star I would. This is a tourist trap NOT authentic at all. Let's start with the fact that the food was nasty and cold, we waited 30 mins for food so I was really confused as to why it was cold. I ordered the fajitas and that had to be the worst food I have ever eaten in my life, and a TERRIBLE representation of the island. Next let's move on to the fact that the restaurant charged my card twice, yes double charged me and I was unable to get my money bank from my bank because of the way the SPAM was done I guess. The restaurant some how declined the original transaction then went back and charged, then went back that evening and charged again. Still currently trying to get it resolved with my bank almost 4 weeks later. Tourist steer clear beware...
