About us

In 1982, Luchita Galindo set out to follow her dream of opening her own business. After years of dedication and perseverance, she and her son, Jorge Galindo, opened the doors to a small Mexican restaurant on Cleveland's West Side - Luchita's Mexican Restaurant. With a casual dinner-style atmosphere, Luchita and Jorge served authentic, fresh, hot, and flavorful Mexican cuisine to as many guests at their cozy space could accommodate. By the late 1980s, Luchita's had earned a strong reputation for its quality and hospitality. In the 1990s, the Galindos recognized the growing demand for fresh, authentic Mexican food and expanded their vision. Marketed as a family-friendly restaurant, Luchita's Mexican Grill & Tequila Bar introduced a broader menu of regional Mexican dishes-including soups, salads, entrees, and chef specials-designed to showcase the rich, festive, and colorful flavors of one of the world's most exciting cuisines.

Signature margaritas and award-winning dishes make every visit to Luchita's feel like a celebration. In response to guests' evolving tastes, the Hudson location continues to explore and introduce new, authentic menu items.

Though Luchita's embraces modern accounting and operational techniques, its management style remains hands-on and personal. Employees are treated like family, and in turn, they extend that same warmth to every guest. The restaurant also takes pride in being an active member of its local communities, supporting a variety of charitable initiatives.

A spirit of fun and camaraderie the Luchita's experience. Having received numerous awards-including Best Authentic Mexican Restaurant, Best Mexican Restaurant, and Best Ethnic Restaurant - Luchita's continues its mission to lead the industry in authentic Mexican dining. The team remains committed to excellence in guest satisfaction, food quality, service, presentation, and fostering a welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere.

As the other locations opened, many of Luchita's children worked alongside her, with Rey, the youngest child, as the main chef. With increasing demands for new and interesting flavors, Rey and Momma Luchita traveled to Mexico four times a year collecting techniques from local chefs and using theme to contemporize Luchita's award winning cuisine.

With Rey at the helm, The Luchita's legacy is being revived at Coyocan Mexican Taqueria and Brew. With a mission to be the industry leader in the Retail Food Market, Coyocan Taqueria and Brew is committed to excellence in guest satisfaction, culinary deliciousness, food quality, service, presentation, and a fiesta atmosphere.
