"We visit this restaurant regularly. Food and drinks and service is excellent. It's quite small inside, but on a sunny day it's nice to sit outside on the pavement and watch the world go by. Toilets are clean. Food varied, we always go for menu del día and priced at 12€, it's a great lunch. Best to make a booking in advance to avoid waiting too long for a table. Highly recommended."

"Visitar Cruz Blanca en Lucena es de esas experiencias que apetecen repetir sin pensarlo mucho. Desde que entras, el ambiente resulta cómodo y familiar, de esos sitios donde te sientes a gusto tanto para una comida tranquila como para una reunión con amigos. El trato es cercano y profesional, algo que siempre suma y se agradece. En la mesa, el solomillo de ternera se lleva buena parte del protagonismo. La carne llega en su punto justo, tierna y jugosa, con un sabor limpio que demuestra la calidad del producto y una elaboración cuidada, sin necesidad de excesos. Es uno de esos platos que disfrutas de principio a fin y que justifican por sí solos la visita. Las croquetas de gambas al ajillo son otro acierto claro. Crujientes por fuera y muy cremosas por dentro, con un sabor equilibrado y reconocible, se nota que están hechas con mimo. Desaparecen del plato casi sin darte cuenta. Y como entrante, la ensaladilla rusa es sencilla, fresca y muy bien ligada, perfecta para abrir el apetito. En conjunto, Cruz Blanca ofrece cocina honesta, bien ejecutada y con ese punto casero que siempre conquista. Un restaurante muy recomendable en Lucena."

"Had the fish, chicken, eggplant, tropical salad and calamaris. Best fish I've ever had! Only to be rivaled by the best chicken I've ever had! Eggplant was delicious and like candy. Service was great. Enjoyed mosto (con manzana) and a large serving of vermouth. Table didn't like their verano de tinto. My favorite dining experience in Spain."

"Muy buena experiencia en el restaurante. Empezamos con unas gambas al ajillo y un calamar nacional, ambos platos estaban espectaculares. Las gambas tenían muchísimo sabor, con ese punto perfecto de ajo y aceite que invita a mojar pan, y el calamar estaba muy tierno y bien cocinado, se nota la calidad del producto. De plato principal pedí el solomillo de presa ibérica y fue todo un acierto: carne muy jugosa, llena de sabor y en su punto. Un plato que realmente destaca. Para terminar, el milhojas fue el broche perfecto a la comida. Ligero, crujiente y con un relleno muy equilibrado, ideal para cerrar la experiencia con un toque dulce. Además de la comida, el ambiente es agradable y el servicio atento, lo que hace que la experiencia sea aún mejor. Sin duda, un sitio muy recomendable en Lucena para disfrutar de buena comida y repetir."
