We love this place! My wife and I come to the Palm Springs area 3-4 times a year and we always find some time to visit luchador brewing. My wife and I each have 18-20 years in the beer business for some major breweries and nothing makes us happier than visiting local breweries when we're traveling. This place has great beers, great food, fun ambiance and the staff has always been very welcoming. We love this spot... read more

Luchador Brewing - All the food we crushed! Surf and turf burrito and ceviche are my personal favorites! - Breweries Near Me - Cathedral City, California

I do love coming here both for a nice cold one and food. They have HH special and taco Tuesday which is great. We stopped by on a Tuesday night which also happened to be Trivia night. The place was pretty busy with people there for the game. Inside tables was all utilized while patio seating was empty. Too hot to be outside even though the misters were on full blast. There wasn't a long line waiting to order drinks and food. We just wanted something to eat and drink while relaxing. It was nice to just watch everyone enjoying the trivia. We actually got seated right away as all the tables were taken. Someone happened to be leaving when we were there. The food situation, their birria ramen was what got me the first time I was here. So whenever we come for food, it's alway a must. Well this time, I don't know if the chef is the same or what but the broth was very salty. Ramen and meat was great but the broth was too over powering. Plus there was no avocado like prior...lol... Anyways, the carne asada fries are alway good which is a must try. Crinkle cut fries with all the topping. The steak was quite tasty and pretty meaty this time. We also had some of the Al pastor tacos which is alway nice. Street tacos that's alway perfect for taco Tuesday. Salsas are available which can be asked for. The food was nice besides the salty broth but we did enjoy our time here. It's a great place for the family as it's kids and pet friendly. read more

We always like trying different breweries so we drove a little longer for a dinner to stop by Luchador. Plenty of parking options around and very welcoming entry to the restaurant. A good amount of drink options. The dragonfruit seltzer was not our favorite. The cider was great. We got a couple of flights just to try things out. I ordered a couple of tacos (carnitas and chicken). My wife got the two barria tacos. All was good. Good portion size and fresh. Ambiance was good. We went on a Sunday and it was quiet but definitely some friends and families enjoying dinner. One suggestion was to fix the water tap because that water was beyond lukewarm warm. Service was good. One guy doing everything. A couple of times had to wait but he brought out food out to us and always made sure our questions were answered. And gave good suggestions. read more

The biggest hit was the drinks. Which is always what you want at a brewery. And they had four frozen seltzer option to choose from for this not looking for beer. Food service was a bit slow two times they had to find the front desk person to service it. Their truck was there for orders, but they weren't running order from the truck, just pick up. Their kids all felt like everything was "too spicy" The food did have a bit of heat to it. So stick to the kids menu when you need food. The vibe was great for families. People were laughing have great on the patio. Plenty of space for hanging in larger groups. read more

Excellent location and space for a beer, sports, and/or games. The food is great and service was excellent. They also have seltzers and wines, so a little something for everyone. It's cool spot to visit near a parking structure and movie theatre off the 111. Perfect for a solo, group, or family lunch/dinner. read more

I was excited to try this brewery since we were staying nearby for a little desert staycation. Coming out to the desert is always a great getaway, but finding unique places with great drinks can be a bit limited compared to Los Angeles, so this place immediately caught my attention. Overall, I'm giving it 3 stars. The superstar of of my visit was definitely the sangria. It was refreshing, delicious, and the serving was HUGE, which was a pleasant surprise. We also ordered the happy hour nachos, which were half off. They were good, and I especially loved the queso. It was different from what I'm used to, but in a good way. The brewery itself is pretty spacious and seems like a great spot for large groups. There's plenty of parking since it's located in what appears to be a shopping center. The outdoor patio looked really nice and had games to play, but unfortunately it was far too hot to enjoy the space during our visit. One thing to know before visiting is that there isn't table service. You order your food and drinks at the register, receive a pager, and pick up your order once it's ready. Unfortunately, my overall experience was dampened because I felt a bit uncomfortable during my visit. Someone I believed was a worker kept giving me what felt like unfriendly stare so it left me feeling uneasy and unwelcome. I could be mistaken about their role or intentions, but it was noticeable enough that it affected my experience. I also noticed the crowd was predominantly Anglo, and although this is a Mexican themed business, I personally felt a little out of place haha. That may not be everyone's experience. The food and drinks were enjoyable, and the space has a lot of potential, but because of how uncomfortable I felt, I left a bit underwhelmed. read more

The fried tacos are good as well as the selection of beer. The problem is the bad smell that permeates the restaurant, it smells like sewage. And, in the heat of summer it's even worse. The cashier/clerk stated he can no longer smell it, that it's probably the brewery side. Anyway, be aware and use your own judgement. read more

The best brewery in the Coachella Valley! And they have two locations! The bartenders, cook, and owner are all super friendly, personable and professional. Aside from great beer, they also have excellent Mexican food!! Absolutely worth a stop anytime you're downtown Palm Springs. read more

A friend of mine and I came in Thursday night before attending a show next-door at the Coachella Valley repertory. This was my first time, although my friend has been in several times. It has a fun decoration with Lucha Libre wrestling as the theme. The food was very good. My friend had the two taco combo and I had the delicious.the beef braised Birria tacos it was very good. When one comes in you order at the counter and then when your food is ready, you come pick it up. It was fairly busy, and there was really only one person working the counter and bringing out the food and making the drinks all at once but he was quick and professional and the line went fairly well. That would be my only complaint is I like to have full service restaurant and not have to wait in line to order but other than that, this was a fun place to eat, and the food was very good. read more

Great beer, we were able to taste before committing during a quick intermission from the nearby live theater. Dog friendly.

Luchador Brewing - Birria ramen - Breweries Near Me - Cathedral City, California

When in Palm Springs, drink as one does. I was in town for a week-long conference that brings in members from across the country. A bunch of us are beer snobs and decided we needed a boozy beer lunch for one of the 2 afternoons I would be in town. One of my buddies heard great things about Luchador (both beer and food wise), so the foodie in all of us (Arizonans and Texans with particular tastes in tacos) piqued our interest. It's a cute inside with outside seating options too, when it's not Satan's Breath temps. When you walk in, you order both food & bev and also merch with the bartender cashier. Rinse and repeat if you're there to hang for awhile. Since it was a summer Saturday afternoon, one guy (Billy) was running the FOH ship solo- of which I applaud him for doing that! He was super nice, gave some recommendations for beer and tacos. I don't drink a lot anymore so I keep to lighter beers- all of which knocked it out of the park. The clear winners among all of us were the Lucha Especial (Mexican Lager) and Pool Boy Shandy. The tacos are not Street, so you'll get more bang for your buck. I really loved the Pastor and Fish - but the Fish was a little spicy for me. Still super tasty! Since we were there for a while, I ordered chips and salsa to nosh on after my tacos. The salsa wasn't anything particular to look at (like jarred salsa), but the second time I came up for a chips refill, Billy didn't charge me so I appreciate that. Definitely hope I can find their beers in Arizona! read more

Nothing special but a fun place to stop if one is in the mood for old school Tijuana street tacos and a beer. We dropped by for a simple taco and they were fine, though the middle of the day is not the best time for this place. I bet it is hopping as a destination for a younger crowd in the evening. I think I would describe it as a must see local oddity read more

Great space, I didn't try the beers but the food was just ok. My tacos a bit salty, overcooked? I a bit of both. Maybe it was an off day. I went on a Tuesday so half off tacos de asada, pollo, al pastor. Great deal just not my taco preference! read more

Super cute, wrestling-themed taqueria with a live DJ that added to the fun vibe. We came with a large group of over 40 people, and the space accommodated us easily with no reservations needed. The food was amazing top-notch asada fries, delicious pastor tacos, and the birria ramen was packed with flavor. A must-try if you're ever in the Palm Desert area read more

Luchador Brewing was an absolute lifesaver while heading into Palm Springs with hungry kids while waiting for our hotel check-in. The setup here is incredibly family-friendly--the kids were instantly entertained by the complimentary games, and the outdoor patio gives everyone plenty of space to relax. ​The kids devoured their hot dogs and bean-and-cheese burritos, while we dove into a killer flight of beers. The real surprise hit was the ultra-refreshing Luchador Lite! Food-wise, the fresh ceviche and loaded surf & turf burrito hit the absolute spot. ​Insider Tip: The ultimate road-trip pit stop off the I-10 corridor before entering main Palm Springs. Great craft beer, tasty Mexican bites, and zero stress with kids in tow! read more

Lunch rush on holiday weekend. One person working cash register, taking orders, serving drinks, and bringing out food. Line out the door. No one else around offering help or assistance of any kind. Can't comment on food since the line is at least a 30 minute wait to order and unknown amount of time to service. Ambiance is a wrestling ring. read more

We LOVED this spot during our little vacay getaway. The food was legitimately really good! We got a hotdog for our boys, and some tacos. The carne asada was probably my favorite, and the salsas it came with were so flavorful. I also got the vegan tostada because I was just craving some veggies. All of the food was packed with flavor. We particularly loved the games outside for our kiddos to keep themselves entertained. The folks working the brewery were also so kind and helpful. If we lived locally, we would be here all the time. read more

I've been eyeing this spot for a while and finally stopped by on a Sunday afternoon with my husband, my sister, and my two nephews. I originally thought it was a sit-down restaurant where a server takes your order, but instead you order at the beer bar and then grab a seat. We chose to sit outside so the boys could run around. They had a giant Connect Four and a cornhole set, which kept the kids entertained and was a nice touch. I ordered the flautas. They had good flavor, but unfortunately they came out a bit soggy, so the crunch I usually expect from flautas wasn't there. We also ordered the chicken nachos for the table. They were average, nothing amazing, but still good enough to share. My husband ordered the asada tacos and mentioned the meat didn't taste very fresh. On the other hand, my sister ordered the corn cup and that was actually really good. We sat outside mainly for the kids, but if we return we'll probably sit inside because the flies outside were a bit much. Overall the atmosphere was very chill, and I could definitely see it being a fun place to come hang out with friends in the evening. read more

So happy that I decided to come here! The atmosphere was lively and the staff were on the ball + friendly. Upon entering there are two lines, one for drinks and one for food. They use a paging system when ordering from the kitchen. There is a lot of available seating indoors and outdoors and many tvs for sport viewing. I ordered a two taco combo plate (comes with rice/beans/chips & salsa) and a slushie flight = total cost less than $25. Everything came out timely and tasted delicious. I would definitely return! read more

Lucador Brewing Company is a great brewery in Cathedral City off of east Palm Canyon Drive. They have very reasonably priced selection of beers and seltzers made in house, a selection of wine, and margaritas. They have a in-house El Camion food truck with excellent Mexican street food. There is indoor seating and a nice patio area where you can relax outside next to a grass area. The food prices are reasonable and the food is excellent but the portions are small. Make sure you eat the food quickly as the tortillas tend to harden up when they cool down and are not as good. They did not seem to have a lot of staff keeping the place clean though and the tables were dirty and not cleaned for the hour or so we were there. read more

The brewery is a very spacious area with a lot of empty space. The beers on tap and IPA's were ok. Not a lot of beers to choose from, for such a large place. Very little types of food served here. The tacos need more flavor, if they want to present a Mexican style heritage, with luchadores. read more

Really liked this brewery. It is a large place with plenty of seating. The service was great even though there only seemed to be 3 or 4 people working the night my wife and I went.
