Lucha Libre Gourmet Taco Shop

Let me start this review by saying I am not a size queen by any means. I'll gladly take a small quality burrito over a bland monstrosity. What this burrito lacks in size, however, does NOT make up for in quality.

Fry to meat ratio is roughly 3:1
No girth
No flavor in carne asada
No flavor in pico

If you ordered a California burrito at an airport kiosk in Russia, this is the burrito you would get.

The staff is very nice and the sauce selection is decent.

I had a recommendation from a friend to come here and this was my first stop coming into SD. I loved the fun Lucha Libre decor (even on the seats!). The bathrooms were tastefully decorated too. My bf and I both ordered burritos and made it a plate (I really like that they had that option!). There were a bunch of alcoholic beverage options to enjoy,  but they were out of some flavors when we were there.

I ordered the Alhambra burrito with a side salad and roasted vegetables and LOVED mine. Honestly can never go wrong with fries in a burrito. My bf was def jealous that he didn't order one with some. He ordered the Surf and Turf burrito with refried beans and rice, which he liked. He said his burrito was a little cold, and was put off by that. Service was pretty quick, and we weren't huge fans of the chips or salsas. In terms of price, each burrito was $15 dollars each.

Def a good experience but not a regular spot to go to.

It's an okay spot, they have an unusual ordering setup. They are behind a ton of acrylic glass and have a intercom setup to order through. Then you have a pickup area that is wide open to customers that they hand food to you over an open bin of chips. I dunno seems counterproductive to the overly cautious safety measures in the ordering process.

Anyway the food is average nothing to be excited about. The potato taquitos are kinda bland but not bad. The shrimp burrito is a monster but not flavorful. Used plenty of salsa to boost the flavor. Prices are average too. Probably won't return. Parking is also tough

Went to this restaurant on a trip with friends.

This place is sort of hard to find considering it is small, but flavors in the Mexican food served here are outstanding.

One of my friends got the surf and turf burrito, and my other friend got the surfin' California burrito. My friend said that his surf and turf burrito was tasty, and me and my other friend both agreed that the surfin' California burrito was very flavorful and yummy.

I like the fact that with each individual food item order, the restaurant gives you a small bag of chips and three of their sauces (one is a red sauce, one is a verde sauce, and the third one is like a cilantro sauce). All of those sauces tasted great on the burrito I ordered.

The staff working at this restaurant are friendly, and the service is fast.

The prices for the food served at this restaurant are sort of high, but I think that is justified by the high quality of the delicious Mexican food being served here.

Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting to eat great Mexican food.

It's been years since I last came here, but came back to try again on a visit to SD. I liked that I was able to make an order online beforehand, so the food was ready by the time I arrived.

We ordered the Surfin' California Burrito ($13.50), Champion Fries ($11.50), and TJ Corn ($2.95). The burrito was solid filled with both shrimp, carne, fries, avocado, rice and pico de gallo. My brother did mention that his half of the burrito didn't have carne, so it was only shrimp though. Now the fries were filled with all the toppings and this was easy to eat. Lastly, you can't go wrong with corn with a little mayo and cheese either. All of the food is good, but also nothing too amazing that makes it worth the price tag. It's definitely on the pricier end for Mexican food as it has a gourmet style here. For the sauces, I liked the creamy cilantro and red hot salsa, which were great additions to the burrito.

Not a bad spot, but nothing all that extraordinary either.

I am really shocked I forget to review Lucia Libre! When I was a kid I loved pro wrestling so this was a must try and let me tell you the food is great!

Food: typically I have been really dissatisfied and disappointed with Mexican food in Los Angeles and San Diego but Lucia libre is one of the few restaurants that I really love! I got the surf and turf burrito and it was absolutely amazing! The beef fajita or asada like they call it over here was grilled to perfection and full of flavor! The chipotle sauce they add is so dam good. The shrimp was fresh and really good too! They offer a variety of hot sauces that are very tasty. I tried some of my nieces rolled tacos and they were good too.

Atmosphere: I really like how they decorated the restaurant! Lots of cool Mexican wrestling memorabilia. This is in my rotation of must  stops when I am in San Diego. The food is fresh and amazing! Great job luncha libre!

How this place has a 4* rating is beyond my understanding. Just got the worst, and I mean THE WORST, food I have ever had. How can you screw up chips?? Simple: you serve 2 day old chips.

The tacos were garbage - the meat was stinky and dry. The avocado was old and rotten. The veggies looked like they had been sitting out for months.

We literally threw away an entire $90 meal because it was so bad. I wish I could give this place negative stars so it would normalize all the fake reviews that are inflating this 1.5* at best restaurant. I might have food poisoning.

Placed an online order for a 6:15pm pick up time on a Friday. It was pretty busy when we got there but our food was ready by 6:25pm which wasn't bad at all.

I got the build your own veggie burrito with Guac, black beans, rice, pico, and cheese. Found a random sprinkling of peas and carrots in my burrito, Im assuming it's in the rice? The burrito itself was ok, I've had better but the salsas are AMAZING which definitely made the burrito better. My favorite was the cilantro cream one!!

I also got a side of the TJ Corn and a mini salad. The TJ corn was really good, wish I'd gotten a bigger size. The mini salad is average, just a basic salad.

Overall, burritos were ok but the salsas definitely put them over the top!

Awesome service, good food and good vibes.

Easy to find, right by the freeway entrance. There's parking on the side.

Cost of meals are reasonable for what you get. Grab yourself a shirt if you're into that nacho libre stuff.

I went of their recommendation and also tried their surf and turf. It was delish especially with the white sauce! The green and red sauce passed the hot sauce vibe check.

One of the BEST burritos I ever had. I ordered their Ado-Haba Burrito it was soo good! It comes with Ado-Haba pork, grilled pineapple, fries, jack cheese, pico de Gallo, sauce, and sour cream.
I do not know any place hat puts grilled pineapple in a burrito but it tastes so amazing. you will love this if you are craving something sweet and salty. The Ado-Haba pork was tender and was not dry at all.

Also their Alambre burrito is delicious. It comes with mushrooms, steak, onions, bell peppers, bacon, jack cheese, avocado, fries, and jalapeño cream sauce.

The only thing is parking may be hard to find. Luckily I was able to find parking in front.  If you are dinning in make sure you wear your mask.

I also love the interior of the restaurant they have lots of fun decorations to look at.

Overall I highly recommend this place it is truly one of the best burritos I have ever had.
