This was my first time going to el luchador and the wrestling theme is so cool. The staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. I got the beef empanadas. Serving sizes were great and I went home with leftovers. I will be coming back!
We came here before a Trailblazer Championship Wrestling show. We loved the clean bright look and the staff is very friendly and helped explain the menu. The kids decided on the kids meals and they came out great (I enjoyed eating their fries and the nuggets and corn dog were fresh, hot, and crispy.). I had an empanada and was concerned about the toppings but tried it anyway and I'm glad I did. It was delicious and would definitely order it again, except get the platter! The salsa that comes with the complimentary chips (with entree order) was wonderful and homemade. We were told they'll be adding more to the menu soon and look forward to being back to try it out.
Wow! Very friendly service and delicious food! Everything from the salsa to the tacos and rice and beans was amazing. I can tell they really care about their quality of food. The atmosphere is fun too!
Stumble upon their food truck (their main location is in Gardner) and it was incredible. We ordered one of everything — super burrito, tacos, and nachos. The spicy pork burrito was easily one of the best burritos I’ve ever had and I’ll be dreaming of it until I have another. The nachos were perfectly simple and they didn’t skimp on the toppings. The birria tacos were also a total win. The cherry on top was their horchata. So good. So full.
This place is fantastic! The salsa was fresh and not out of a jar. The beans were like homemade and the Birria tacos and empanadas were delicious! The Horchata drink here was one of the best I have had in the entire area. Please give this place a try. I don’t think he will be disappointed. The service was very good as well.
Don't be sleeping on this place! This is a hit! Kind of a hidden gem in downtown Gardner with a wild old school wrestling theme. The food is fantastic and the crew prompt and courteous. The street corn is one you don't want to miss. I know they're making the salsa fresh here... it's gooood. See you again soon! 👌
Ordered breakfast today and because I was a moron amd didn't see the confirmation email I was 40 minutes late and he had remade the food for me! Best service ever. The food was great. Really loved the breakfast empanadas! Will be our new breakfast stop for sure!
The best hidden gem in town. Fish tacos for lent are great. No complaints at all about any of the menu items. The decor is a great call back to old school wrestling and Lucia libre
Absolutely delicious, fresh, affordable, authentic food! Relaxing festive atmosphere right on main St in Gardner!! Hallelujah!
Very good food birria and the street corn are truly best around. Empanadas are really great empanadas but truly the birria and street corn are my favorite. Great drinks also. Great atmosphere and super friendly staff. Highly recommend.
