Lucero Rooftop Restaurant + Bar

What's up my people's (Give Me a Follow Please)!! So yo, check it out, finally was able to swing by this rooftop spot in Tempe, slangin some high quality, farm fresh tapas. The vibe was dope, the views were great, the food was excellent, gave off downtown Chicago rooftop vibes for me. Perfect date night spot for sure or meet up place. Everything was solid but I will say, there's a $15 parking fee you have to pay, just a heads up. Valet only unless you wanna walk a couple blocks. Anyways, here's what I tucked into. Prickly Pear Limeade & Lobster Chorizo Fundido - Yoooo, both were legit. Limeade was super refreshing, not too sweet, and the Lobster/Chorizo Fundido, major drool Big chunks of Lobster, Chorizo, Queso Oaxaca, Salsa Fresca and Fresh Blue Corn Tortillas. Must order for me. Wagyu Tacos - where do I start!?! So damn good, Medium Rare Grilled Wagyu, Jalapeño Remoulade, Salsa Molcajete, Pickled Onions and Housemade Blue Corn Tortillas. Yoooo. If this is all you're ordering I would recommend adding an extra taco ($7), trust me. Santa Cruz Tuna Tostadas - Super fresh and super yummy. Big Chunks of Fresh Tuna, Chile Rojo, Cucumbers, Avocados, Red Onions and Roasted Peanuts, perfect summer dish, especially if you're sitting outside Scallop Ceviche - Another fresh one, Scallops cured in Citrus, sitting on a bed of Avocado Mousse, Jalapeños, Cilantro Oil Drizzle, topped with a Strawberry Pico, daaaaamn. Haha was hella good. Birria Empanadas - Short Rib Birria, Queso Asadero, Cilantro, and Onion stuffed into a perfectly cooked Empanadas, soaking in a bed of Birria Consume, Muah! Chef kiss for sure. Not over salted at all, perfectly flavored. Highly recommend. Spice Churro Fries - Okay. So I wanted the Mangoñada Cobbler but the server recommended the Churros. I will say they were really good and fried perfectly, but a one time order for me. What was really good was the Caramel Anglaise (Wow!) so good. Didn't care much for the Chocolate Syrup or the Strawberry Catsup, but overall a good dessert. I really enjoyed this place, like I said the ambience was dope, the food was good, it was vibey, definitely a good place to check out for sure. Very affordable, and I gotta take my hat off to them for the quality farm fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned dishes. You can taste the quality. But why listen to me, go check 'em out!! Cool spot. Deuces my Gooses!!

Decided to do a date night since we didn't go out of town for holiday weekend. Nice dinner an sunset. Made reservation but I guess for the season it was unnecessary since it was pretty empty when we arrived. I guess the pro to going during summer is that sunsets are later and it clears out for ASU gammage theatre. We were there for view and they sat us where our view was limited/blocked. VERY disappointing. The food was great and Jayvan did an amazing job of serving us. Not too absent and not too attentive.I will say it was great to get out but would not frequent again. Valet parking only at $15 and it is not waived for Lucero. The sun sets in the west and view is limited as majority of the seating faces north. Outdoor deck is on the east end so again limited for sunsets as you have to look through the whole restaurant to see it. Limited menu and nothing blew us away to go back. Great for those staying at the Omni or visiting the area but not worth making a special trip for.

The ambiance, views and service were fantastic. The food, however, was underwhelming. Allfour entrees (different) received the same feedback. Unfortunately, did not measure up to the space or cost. Hopefully, the kitchen willImprove.

Stopped in for drinks and to check out the rooftop at the Omni Tempe! Plenty of seating both indoor & out. A perfect spot for a vibey night out. I will definitely be back for food and to sit outside when it's cooler out!

The Omni hotel is a great addition to downtown Tempe. We were seated immediately at Lucero's bar without any reservations. The views are unmatched! I would advise coming around 5pm so you can catch the sunset. The desert sunset marg was very good, and it came with a little squeeze pouch of hibiscus syrup to sweeten the cocktail. Fiance' also enjoyed his old fashioned. The wagyu sliders were pretty good, but the curly fries were amazing. I would recommend this spot for the ambiance & outdoor fire pit vibes!

Located in the Omni Hotel on the 16th floor Lucero was a great dining experience. I had made reservations on Open Table and upon arriving I was warmly greeted by Paige. Paige noted my reservation and offered me inside out outside dining. As I'm not from the area and dining outside in November is a novelty I opted for outside which then Paige offered any available seat including a fire pit table! It was a slow Wednesday, so I sat there. I have a soft spot for fire pit tables on slightly chilly nights. This was one of the best I have sat at as the glass ensured protection while the open top kept me warm. If I stood I found it very hot, but sitting the fire was cozy. I caution, putting anything near the fire would eventually warm the item which I found with the menu. The menu is fun. I appreciated the aesthetic immediately and loved sitting by the fire, listening to live music, and taking in the city at night. Ryan, the server who waited my table, was equally warm and welcoming as Paige. Ryan made spot-on recommendations from the shrimp tacos to the cocktails. He was impressively busy but always ensured I was checked in on and I never was left wanting either food or drink. The shrimp tacos were delicious. Lots of shrimp, soft tortilla, not too big or too messy. The cocktails were fun and tasty. The Strawberry 75 is basically a twist on a French 75 with strawberries. The Cucumber Southside was a bit spirit forward, bright, and tart. I loved it. My favorite though was the Sparkling Guava Colada - it was amazingly balanced and super easy to drink. I didn't find it as sweet as a piña colada typically is, but more nicely sweet with the Prosecco and pineapple juice in perfect harmony. I had a great night here.

Now that the weather is a great temperature this time of the year I've been waiting to enjoy somebody's rooftop bars and restaurants throughout the city. This is choice number one and they did not disappoint. The ambience of the place with live music and great drinks. The service was pretty good, the server was nice. She was a bit hard to fine from time to time but we were chilling, so it didn't really bother us. We ordered several things all the food was very good qualities. I didn't get a chance to sit at the fire pits and relax, but next time I will definitely choose that sitting area to enjoy myself, I recommend if you are looking for a nice chill night with live music and a great view that you try to spot.

I ordered the burgers with fries. A little surprised how sweet it was. Threw me off at first, but the more I tried, the more I was vibing with it. Tasty! The rooftop was super cute. Semi causal, all the guests were well dressed and the ambiance was very chill. AND!!! All of us saw a shooting star during our dinner! So magical! Our waiter was super accommodating and friendly. He made the experience that much better. There isn't any free parking around (that I know of) but you can pay valet at the Omni. There are also metered parking and garages nearby. I'd come here again!

What a great way to start the night. Friday night is always date night and today we just wanted to keep it really mellow and enjoy each others company. We had a reservation for 7 but arrived about 45 minutes early and the hostess was super sweet and sat us anyway. I'm my opinion the best 2 seater indoor table in the place. Full view of the skyline and we caught the sunset which is always a treat. They had a live performer who was also really good. I'm telling y'all it's giving date night vibes for sure. It wasn't packed or rowdy or "clubby". It started to get a little more crowded and you could tell the club crowd was starting their night with dinner around the time we were leaving so depending on what you are looking for vibe wise you can find it just Siri g a different timeframe. Our server was Kady (like Lady but with a K), and she was just fantastic. Super friendly and genuine and knowledgeable. We chatted about ASMR and she was so fun! Came to check on us the perfect amount of time and made sure we were all set. You can tell she is a people person and knows her stuff. We only came for the view, a couple apps and dessert before heading to see a movie. Had the truffle fries and the chips with dip which isn't as basic as it sounds lol it was all really good. Churros were FIRE! Light and moist inside and light and crispy outside. Will def be back for those. I know others were a mixed bag for the service but that wasn't our experience and we weren't all dressed up like others just pretty casual. I would 100% recommend asking to have Kady as a server. She also at one point bussed our table because a bidder wasn't available and she didn't want to leave dirty plates there and that's just the type of general service and attentiveness you don't really get all the time anymore. Great job Kady we appreciated you!

This place is located inside the Omni hotel on the rooftop. My friend and I made a pit stop here while we were taking a walk and were curious about the new hotel. After checking out the restaurant on the ground floor, we saw there was a rooftop restaurant so we took the elevator to the rooftop. The place up here is beautiful. Everything about this place was thoughtfully planned and placed. Wide open windows with views of Tempe, ample seating, beautiful decor and really relaxed, classy feeling. Indoor and outdoor seating. They have cool light-up menus. We were greeted by the hostess, who was extremely helpful and nice. Her service definitely contribute to the decision to stay and have a drink. She told us about the place. This is a place for small bites and drinks. They take reservations on OpenTable but also accepts walk ins. We were seated immediately in our location of preference, on the outdoor patio. The majority of the clientele was on the outdoor patio. There was a live performer. We came here at sunset so there view was beautiful. It's not a completely clear view of the skyline due to surrounding buildings, but it does offer a decent view for its location. We stayed for a drink. I had a cocktail and my friend had a beer. Drink was pretty good. Our server was very fast, very informative and great as well. We didn't try any food, but the plan is to come back. I definitely recommend this place and see this as an up-and-coming hotspot.
