They charged me for food I didn’t even order, and I realized after I paid the bill! I asked for a refund, and they said they can’t issue refunds in-store; I have to email the owner. I emailed him and never heard back. They basically STOLE MY MONEY. Please don’t support this business.
Update: They still haven’t sent my money.
2nd Updated: Still waiting…
Not sure what’s complicated about my review; seems pretty straightforward to me! And no problem, I will get my friends that witnessed the situation to help spread the word that this company steals money. As you mentioned, your email is on your site. I have emailed and still haven’t had any luck getting my money back 6 months later… I didn’t feel the need to contact the owner (Gabriel, I believe his name is), but that's the email I was provided from the employees at the restaurant. In my email, I have provided the full store and proof of purchase. I’ve also added a picture below so everyone can see I have reached out 3 times!
You are not only unprofessional towards me, but I had read about how you dealt with other situations, and I guess that’s just how you run your business!

Food wasn't as good as it has been in the past but ya gotta love the amazing art and old school luchadore movies! Also the hibiscus margarita is delicious. Friendly staff are happy to serve. I like the atmosphere.

Really tasty tacos. Would certainly go back. Food was much better than average but pricing on the higher side. With better pricing this place would be 5 stars.

I love the decoration and the classic movies they have on TV. I was not really happy with the cocktails, food was decent.

I visited Lucha Libre again yesterday and honestly, it was a perfect experience once more. This time I ordered the quesabirria, and they were absolutely delicious—full of flavor and perfectly prepared. You can really tell the food is made with care.
I’ve been here before, and I keep coming back because I truly love this place. The atmosphere is calm, clean, and welcoming, it really makes you feel at home. The service is excellent as well—everyone who works there is very kind and attentive, which makes the experience even better.
Everything was perfect both times I’ve visited: the food, the atmosphere, and the service. I definitely give it five stars and will be coming back again soon. Highly recommended!

I had an amazing experience at this spot! I tried the veg tacos, and they were honestly pretty good—packed with flavor and very fresh. If you like heat, their extremely hot sauce is the absolute bomb; it definitely packs a punch! Beyond the food, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They even let my friend and me stay an extra hour with our luggage while we waited for our Airbnb check-in, which was such a lifesaver. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the hospitality!

Was really excited to come in with my partner since we were starving and we were walking around Downtown for quite a bit looking for a place to eat. So it caught our attention and went in hoping to eat some tacos. We were warmly greeted by this wonderful lady who showed us to our table and gave us a free appetizer. After that, we weren’t taken care of at all. We waited 20 minutes for someone to come but we were just completely ignored by all staff. We shouldn’t have to ask to be served. The atmosphere is great. Nice vibe and a clean space. But the service didn’t match the setting.

Just finished my meal. It's been a hard search for good Mexican food in Vancouver but it seems I found it. Flavourful, well garnished, well cooked. Will definitely come back.
Also, shout out to the waiting staff and bartender. They did an excellent service. Didn't see a name tag, but they are here at the time of this review. Get them a pay raise will you.

Probably my favorite spots for Mexican food here in Granville VA. The decor is very colorful and bright, makes the people feel welcoming. My friend ordered a burrito and I ordered all 4 vegetarian tacos. Food was tasty and the red sauce is super spicy and good. I also find it cool that their tacos are pink colored as well.

I’ve had the sheer joy of coming here 2 weekends in a row with 2 different friends who are also now fans of Lucha Libre. They have *the* freshest tasting margaritas and daiquiris. The pico is perfection, and as someone who’s not the biggest fan of guac I could eat theirs every single day (I ordered it last weekend for no reason, not being a huge guac fan and all, and was thankful I did). I had the burrito with brisket (which was absolutely amazing) my first visit and the heavy weight bowl with chicken last night, and both were incredibly delish! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and enjoyable to talk with. Thankfully they’ve got a restaurant closer to me in Port Moody (as I’m across the bridge), and I can’t wait to go with my 2 friends there soon! You won’t be disappointed… make the reservation and enjoy this phenomenal place💚

Tried this place for the first time and I’m obsessed, loved everything — the food the drinks the vibe. Everyone was super nice and the music and interior were such a mood. I’ll definitely be back.

The food is delicious however every time that I eat here it has been cold and small portions. But besides those two issues the food is delicious

This place is a must-try! I always get the verde enchiladas (the black beans on the side are to die for!). Never been disappointed by the food, service, or look + feel of this place. Truly one of a kind!!
