Great food, very tasty. The seating area is ao small, you have to wait a lot for a table, we waited and then were seated in the bar area. Food came out quick though!

A fun Mexican joint in the heart of KSU country. We went on a game day expecting a wait since Taco Lucha has quite a reputation around Manhattan. It didn't take too long for them to get us seated but friendly staff even brought drinks while we were waiting. When it was our turn to sit and order, the Chipotle Raspberry Black Bean Dip jumped out as the local recommendation. We then ordered a variety of different tacos and enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. The bean dip was a huge hit. A curious combination of succulent beans, zesty cheese, and sweet raspberry made for a spectacular bite when piled high on a fresh chip. I was slightly underwhelmed with the tacos, but the vibes in the building more than made up for it!

I had high expectations for taco Lucha as everyone I know that's eaten here raves about it. I was not disappointed! We did wait over an hour to be seated (graduation weekend & small restaurant) but it was worth the wait. We also luckily got to have drinks on the patio while we waited which truly helped. Once we were seated we had some more cocktails and ordered the sampler plate I believe? Along with the raspberry bean dip. I wasn't a huge fan of the raspberry bean dip but the rest of my party was obsessed with it. Salsas were pretty good as well. For our entree we all got some variety of tacos. I had the special which was habanero shrimp I believe? They were phenomenal. Service was fantastic. I'm really looking forward into coming back to taco lucha the next time I'm in town.

A favorite of mine when visiting Manhattan! This is not the spot for traditional Mexican food - Taco Lucha offers unique taco combinations, fun flavors, and flour tortillas. Regardless, it's all delicious. They share a kitchen with So Long Saloon, so some menu items are similar - including the Chipotle Raspberry Black Bean dip, which is a must try. It's one of my favorite things to order when in Manhattan! I've sampled the carnitas, fish, and chicken tinga tacos and enjoyed them all. Flavors are good and the tortillas come out just a little crispy, which I love. Always had great service here, but be forewarned there's often a long wait. There's limited seating inside and it's very popular with students!

Interesting place. The Mexican lucha libre vibe gets a bit lost with the pop culture college campus influence and the bass heavy music playing fromThe overhead speakers but the food was decent and they had some novel flavors. I'm definitely rounding up a star. Didn't think it was crazy good but if I was a local I might come back.

I have been here, or to whatever restaurant has occupied this spot, many times the past 25 years. Recently visited in 12/2023.Never ever had a bad taco here. Never had a bad meal/experience here. Everyone is so nice. Fun place. it's loud, but this is Aggieville... Gets crazy busy on a Thurs, Fri, Sat evening. Highly recommended if you're in Manhappiness...

Not sure if we just didn't flirt enough with the hostesses or didn't slip a cash tip in, but last time I checked "about a 30 minute wait" shouldn't ever take well over an hour. I definitely enjoyed sitting out here cooking with my party of 5 while THREE LARGE GROUPS, several arriving AFTER us, were all seated first. Asked why the wait...the look on her face said she either skipped us completely or forgot we were still standing here. No apology, no complimentary offering for the screw up, just a nonchalant "oh you're second in line" - and there's barely anyone else left out here. Haven't even gotten in the door yet and I'm confident I won't be back. Waiting area outside is miserably hot, the sun shades do absolutely nothing after 5pm with the sun angle, and there's a homeless person loitering on the shaded benches across the street.

I was a bit worried this would have bad fake Mexican food but whatever they made was delicious. The tacos were incredible. I picked three random ones on the menu and I was in heaven. They also had a peanut butter taco which sounds weird but was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Great queso too. Will definitely be back to have some more of those creative tacos. Hats off to who came up with that menu. It does get very busy (and I can understand why) it's a smaller/intimate place and they do have outdoor seating! Staff was friendly and attentive. We were checked in frequently and were able to keep the drinks and food flowing.

This place is small but very cute i was passing by on my way to Colorado. The place is clean and the food is amazing the service was not the friendliest, but the food made up for it!!!! I gave it a 4 star because i believe service is also part of the experience.
