  1. Tell me again why America and Central Indiana is not the greatest in the world if you’re willing to work hard and take risks? I visit at least once a month. Clearly this company (family) has figured out the formula for success. Nobody did the pandemic takeout like Luciana’s. Congratulations and future good luck!

  2. Luciana’s is great and I lived across the street before and during the opening of the first location. It’s wonderful food. What I can’t understand as an Indiana native is why is Mexican so popular?… When is the “trend” going to tamper off? We live on the eastside now and it’s flooded with not so great Mexican and a couple of good UNIQUE spots in Irvington.
