I finally had a cheat day and went to Lucha Libre Taco Shop and got The BRC. I ate half of this burrito, and this is the first piece of chicken I've come across. Not worth the carbs/calories. I really wanted to like this place. I love Lucha, and I love the vibe inside. But this isn't it. It doesn't even taste of anything. Needless to say, I'm tossing the rest of this out. I mean seriously? I would've just gotten a bean and cheese burrito if I knew it would be like this. So disappointed by this meal. Skip The BRC and just get a bean and cheese burrito. 2 stars because the staff is nice and they have an epic collection of stuff on the walls. read more

Lucha Libre - The BRC - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

I had the California burrito and it was really great. The selection of salsas was wonderful--I like the cucumber one, so unique!

I went here for a Sunday lunch and it was not too busy. Ordering can be a the front or at the self serve kiosk for dine in / to-go. We opted to dine in as we had time and the food came out fast. We got the surf and turf California burrito and the bulgogi burrito. The order comes with chips and self-serve salsa bar which has a variety of spicy salsas and creamy cilantro sauce that is really good. The surf and turf was solid with good steak and shrimp, though the fries were kinda okay. The same goes for the bulgogi burrito - the meat was excellent but the fries were okay. If I go again I'd opt to get the regular burritos. read more

Lucha Libre - Seafood Burrito - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

Honestly my surf n turf burrito was mediocre. Like super mediocre. This place was recommended to me and while the cali surf n turf was supposed to be the jam - the regular was supposed to be good as well. The meat was good, and it was still fresh and solid. But I finished this thing - for $19, as a 120lb female who does not eat much I should not be able to finish a burrito. In SF and other places in SD, a burrito that costs that much or less I can barely finish half of. Not bad, but disappointing for sure. read more

Hadn't been to Lucha Libre in at least a few years, and was very happy to learn that it's as delicious as ever. We KNOW the vibe is rad, and counter service is quick and kind. So yum! I'll make it a point to visit more often. read more

I haven't been in the area for about a decade and decided to stop in for tacos and a hot dog because I remember they used to be delicious Lucia Libre still has.delicious flavorful meats, sauces and tortillas. 5 star flavors. The shrimp taco was perfectly cooked and seasoned. It was the best shrimp taco I've had in years. The steak was also flavorful but so tough it was inedible. The restaurant needs to use a more tender cut of beef. I can't recommend anything with the steak. The decor is fun with a luchador. Don't miss the paintings in the bathroom. Friendly staff. This place used to serve amazing bacon wrapped hot dogs. I miss the hot dogs. Good spot for shrimp taco lovers. It's a miss for steak fans. read more

Stopped by this place after climbing at Sender One, and I was amazed. The food here is worth driving through LA traffic for, especially the mini tacos starter I got. Our server was amazing, extremely helpful, and kind. Her name completely slipped my mind, but she helped me pick what to get without rushing me, and making sure that I won't be disappointed. I love how intimate the restaurant feels, it's very quiet and clean. This place is great for a cute, chill date night! read more

Crazy. Yes Mexican wrestling theme lol. Well they sure do get busy! We were able to snag a table though. Good was alright. I got the seafood burrito. It was good. The interesting thing about this tiny joint is they have a solo table that offers full service waiter with large goblets, hats, masks, gold booth with rope. So random so funny. And yes there was a family dining in there! read more

I really like the Classic California Burrito with asada, the salsas, and the chips. I ate the entire burrito while adding red onion and red salsa with lime.

Been coming here for years! Always a must to get a cali burrito when visiting from out of town!

Atmosphere was big hyped on the TV Show but food was great!! Lived up to the expectations. Even in winter, eating outside was awesome. Enough shades with gentle breeze made things delightful! read more

Excellent ambiance and theme, this alone deserves a visit. I had the surf and turf taco with a side of rice and beans. The house salsa was good, the hotter salsa was better. The beef was very tasty, so much that I'd get the burrito next time. Seating available in side and out, no a/c so outside is popular with the ocean breeze. Parking is tough, you need to park in the market lot. This is an above average taco shop with good service, good food, and a great theme. If you have visitors it is a must go for great photos and experience. read more

The Champions Booth featuring Rey Mysterio was awesome! Love that they play wrestling while you eat too. And I will definitely try to sit there for next time. They have 4 different salsa to choose from each with unique flavors. My personal favorite was the green salsa mixed with the mango salsa. The California burrito was excellent with a good blend of surf and turf. The creamy cilantro salsa was not for me on my al pastor taco but call me a sucker for the original green salsa which is spicier than usually. If you can't handle the spice stay out the kitchen Definitely a great place to try if you are in the area. Burritos are a must try, taco you can go elsewhere. read more

Lucha Libre! A San Diego classic. I cannot believe it's been 13 years since I've last been here. Location is in downtown SD close to the airport. There's a parking lot right next door so you don't have to fight for street parking. I ordered the Surfin California burrito with steak which came out to $18. Yikes - definitely a bit pricey! The burrito was delicious, tortilla crispy and warm, steak was juicy and seared, but the portion size was very small for $18. The salsa bar is fantastic and you get free chips with your meal. You need to try the mango salsa! It is the star of the salsa bar in my humble opinion and paired beautifully with the chips and burrito. read more

Parking in this area seemed like slim pickings but we managed to parallel park right in front of the business. Fast casual service where you order at the counter and they will call your number when ready. The place has a fun aesthetic with their wall decorations but it was warm in there, so we sat in the covered area out front. We ordered 3 tacos and the surfin Cali burrito. The salsa bar was a nice touch to go with the chips that came with my meal. The salsa verde was my favorite and I put it on my burrito too. The surfin Cali burrito was tasty and the tacos were ok. The bill came out to $55 for the food and 2 drinks. The food was good, but for a fast casual burrito place, it was nowhere near $55 good. read more

Lucha Libre Taco Shop is such a fun and unique spot if you're in San Diego. The whole place is decked out in colorful lucha libre decor, with masks, murals, and a super lively vibe that makes it more than just a taco shop, it feels like an experience. The menu has a great variety of tacos and burritos, with bold flavors and generous portions. Everything feels a little extra (in a good way), from the creative combinations to their famous "Surfin' California" burrito. read more

Good food and it was easy to order on the touch screens. Good sauces at their sauce bar.

I was waiting near the airport before my flight and found this taco place nearby... so glad I came! I ordered the birria quesadilla and wow... it was so juicy and flavorful, every single bite hit. Easily one of the best I've had. My friend got the tacos which looked amazing too. Prices for tacos can run a little high if you usually order a lot, but the quesadilla was super reasonable and came with plenty of pieces, so definitely worth it. (Dining in- you get complimentary chips but no salsa, just a heads up.) The place is decorated with retro Nacho Libre-style decor that was interesting to admire while eating. Service was quick, friendly, and efficient which is exactly what you want when you're hungry before a flight. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in San Diego to try more from the menu read more

If Lunch and a show had a baby... it would be Lucha Libre Taco Shop Came here and WOW--this place is a whole vibe. From the moment you walk in, it's colorful, loud (in the best way), and full of personality. Think lucha masks, gold booths, and just pure fun energy all around. It honestly feels like you stepped into a party, not just a taco shop. Now let's talk FOOD because... The tacos? Packed with flavor. The burritos? Massive and worth every bite. And don't even get me started on the creamy chipotle sauce--it should honestly be illegal how good it is. Everything tasted fresh, bold, and perfectly seasoned. Service was quick even with a crowd, and the staff kept the energy upbeat. It's one of those spots where you can roll in casual, bring friends, laugh loud, and just enjoy yourself. Perfect for: Fun, casual date night Group hangs Late-night cravings Out-of-town guests who want something uniquely San Diego Pro tip: If the "Champions Booth" is open... take it. You'll feel like royalty read more

I hadn't been to this place in over ten years but it's still just as fun as I remember. The inside is all decked out in wrestling themed decor including pictures, a bell, wrestling playing on the televisions, and wrestling masks all over the walls. I remember the burritos being a bit bigger but that's okay. I ordered a Birria California burrito and champion fries with chicken. The birria burrito was delicious. The meat was tender and juicy and the sauce added some heat. The fries weren't amazing in the burrito but the added a nice starch that filled me up a lot. The champion fries were okay. We got guac and beans on the side as I'm allergic to guac and my husband prefers no beans. I like that they have the option for things on the side however the fries weren't my favorite compared to other Mexican restaurants. They weren't super flavorful or crispy and didn't have a lot of meat. The salsa bar is definitely a big plus for this place. The creamy cilantro sauce is so good and the house sauce was also very delicious with chunks of tomato and mango I think. I love that it's a self serve salsa bar so you can get as much sauce as you need. They also give you a serving of chips which are nice and hot. Definitely a perfect place to stop by if you're near the airport. read more

Lucha Libre - Mahi Seafood Burrito, Tj Corn, Strawberry Lemonade - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

Let me tell you once in a while, I just need that seafood blackened mahi burrito that one can only get here!(I think) No pics of them, I didn't wanna show the bite marks... I've honestly been stuck on this menu item for years, even when they had the satellite location at Sycuan casino that eventually shut down. Don't get me wrong, I have had other items for sure. Just hard to steer clear of that burrito. Tacos of all types, as they are super innovative here. Rolled tacos are very tasty I do recall. I do remember a TJ hot dog that vanished off the menu a while back, which I loved. Shoot. These times they are a changin' but we can gotta get used to change right? For sure, still many creative items on menu to be had. They have been an icon at many events too. Definitely have to acknowledge them as one of the pioneers of new age style taco shops, and the idea has been copied now at many places. But not the wrestling idea, they have this locked down here, with the movie posters that line the walls too and golden booth that you apparently need to reserve in advance. Seems to me, lucha fans young and old, I'm sure would enjoy this! read more
