There have been no studies for done on the effects of grapefruit on Lexapro in specific, but grapefruit has been shown to have adverse effects on the absorption of many medications. It could possibly increase the frequency and magnitude of side-effects, or it could just negate the medication's actions. It is a good idea to not eat grapefruit while on any medication. If you must eat it, however, then at least wait a few hours after taking Lexapro to have some.
