Lucero's — Restaurant in Denver

I went there on Cinco de Mayo as I was in the neighborhood. I Googled Mexican restaurant. The lady at the counter was as sweet as could be when I first placed my order. She was talking to me about the history of the restaurant and was calling everyone in sight "Baby" which was fine. I sat down and ate my 3 taco special. The price was reasonable; $7 or $8. I heard her talking to the young man working with her about the 60+ year old restaurant history, the neighborhood and how she wasn't a Lucero but he was. She was telling him about his grandfather who I'm guessing started the restaurant. Anyway I decided to order some Enchiladas and Nachos to take home with me. The guy working with her was young enough to find humor when he thought I asked for "Pot" instead of asking if the meal came with a "Pop" I was born in Denver but unfamiliar with that neighborhood. She was already talking about it so I asked her some more questions about how old the houses were around there and if she grew up in the neighborhood. She took my order but shunned me otherwise. It was definitely off putting and downright rude as she continued to talk to two guys that were sitting there. I spent over $30 bucks there and came home. When I opened my sack to eat later that night, I noticed that I had Tamales instead of Enchiladas and a small bag of Nacho cheese chips with a container of meat and melted cheese. The food was okay, but I've had better. The tacos were the best option. I would have given them a higher rating if it wasn't for the attitude of the woman at the counter. I realized later that she was phishing for tips. It wasn't like she was waiting on tables. I hope someday tips go away and they pay people at restaurants a decent wage if that's the way they're...

Lucero's is in a neighborhood where their presence is highly appreciated. I went for breakfast on a Monday morning while I sat in the dining room I saw many neighbors coming to pick up orders they had called in to bring home with them or to their work. My favorite breakfast is huevos rancheros. I ordered this and found they offered hotter and milder choices for green chili. I ordered the hotter version and it was what I might call more medium then actually hot. My eggs were ordered over easy. Although I did have runny yolks in my eggs which I desired, the bottom and outer edges of the eggs we're hard and crusty showing that they were cooked on a grill that was too hot. Having this crustiness on Friday eggs is not acceptable to real chef. Almost consistently when I order huevos rancheros at a restaurant they are served on top of corn tortillas. There were no corn tortillas at all in my breakfast. I was given to flour tortillas wrapped in foil on the side of my breakfast and even though I was choosing to eat in the dining room I was served in styrofoam to-go containers. Being someone ecology minded and concerned about the planet I consider this to be a demerit. I was also very disappointed to find that this restaurant does not offer hot coffee at all not even with breakfast. My only copy option was a cold bottled Starbucks. The cost of my breakfast was...
