Lucha Cantina

Stopped in after visiting the Japanese garden.Our server was super kind. I couldn't decide between two options and she recommended the fish tacos and they were phenomenal. We enjoyed the salsa option as well. The steak in my kiddos taco could have been slightly smaller cuts but we all very much enjoyed our meal. The decor is so fun! My kiddo made sure to take pictures with the statues.We sat on the patio and enjoyed the warm weather.

Big Hopes, Bigger Disappointment We'd driven past this spot a few times and thought, "Why not finally give it a try?" Well... now we know why not.We started with drinks--a margarita for me and my husband tried a mezcal cocktail (I think it was called Abuelita's Drink?). They were... okay. Nothing to write home about. But the real letdown came with the food. We ordered the trio dip (guacamole, queso, and elote), which was meh at best. Not bad, but definitely not good.I decided on the chicken fajita tacos with a salad, and honestly, I'm still regretting it. The salad was wilted on arrival--like, it looked tired before I even touched it. And the tacos? So bland they could've used some personality.The ambiance didn't help either--it was dark, quiet, and honestly kind of sad. Overall, the experience just wasn't it. If you're in Rockford, there are way better options out there. Unfortunately, this one's a skip for us.

I miss the larger menu. I used to love Lucha and it was my favorite restaurant. I understand the need for a smaller menu with the changing times, but I miss the Wahoo Burrito and all the various other options I'd try. Today I chose the Rio Grande bowl and it was mediocre and it was a big bummer. It lacked flavor until I added salsa to it. Our server was fine. Nothing to write home about.They did re-vamp the restaurant and the dining area is a little smaller I think, but there's an event room which is nice. I'm sad.

Got the chance to visit this place again after having moved away years ago, and it never disappoints! The salsas are amazing, the guacamole is to die for, the drinks are fabulous, and the vibe is super cool. I don't think I've ever eaten anything here that I don't like.

Hey wow 8 steak tacos with no onion, no lettuce, and a side of that red sauce amazing. My brothers ex gf worked there. Funny story I guess she called my mom And said she saw My wife (( soon to be ex)) with her new boyfriend Robert (( man he loves the color blue)) And tacos! Such a nice guy. I found his computer with taco sauce on it. Somehow my ex wife knows everyone And really hits it home on both me and my brother! Thanks kid! Great service, btw I didn't look at the cpu we all know your fantasy football bets are set in stone anyways.

Came back once again and wanted to see if I could give more stars than five, but unfortunately Yelp limits us to just five stars. But this most recent meal was a 10 out of 5. They keep knocking it out of the park with the great combination, flavors and quality of food and service. Will surely be back again!

Me and my boyfriend went to this place after the Ed Sheeran concert; this was our first time being in Chicago and we had no clue on how the parking was. The men at the front were so nice and helped us figure out the parking situation! They acted like we were friends, and didn't dumb us down for not knowing how it worked. Going further inside the restaurant, the ambiance was nice! The seating was a little close to each other, but that's expected for the small restaurant. Now onto the food -- it was delicious!! I can't remember what the name of what I got was (the chimichanga looking one), but my boyfriend loved his tacos! The pico de gallo they put on the food was so yummy! The best pico I've ever tasted.If I was in the area again, I'd definitely go here! If you're looking for a quick yummy bite, go here!!

I came here on a random Tuesday while in town for work and the bartender Austin was great! I got the queso and guacamole appetizer. I love the traditional style chips and the guacamole was very good! I love the seasoning and that you can taste the lime in the guac! You can tell it's fresh! The queso is good, but very peppery. As in black pepper. I was also able to try the traditional pico and the pineapple and poblano salsas, both of which were good. The traditional pico had corn in it which is different for me, but I didn't hate it. For my main dish I got the birria tacos and they were AMAZING! Some of the best birria and consomé I have had in a while! So definitely come here on Tuesdays and get that! I also really enjoyed their version of a skinny margarita with G4 tequila!

We have been here previously and enjoy it very much. The food and service were good. I love the salad and my husband loves getting the poblano pepper shrimp.

An extreme disappointment... my partners food was cold and my burrito was flavorless and full of nothing but rice and uncooked peppers. For some reason the rice is basmati rice?? Never seen that at a Mexican restaurant before. It was also extremely overpriced for not even serving salsa automatically. The best party was definitely the Elote Rangoon. Other than that I would not return here and feel I wasted an absurd amount of money. Overall this place is flavorless, overpriced, and un-authentic.
