They have a separate vegan menu and the food was delicious.

Pretty cool spot and quite large. For some reason by the photos I thought would be a little more rustic but it is fairly new and in a large new development. They have plenty of beers and good food. That woman behind the bar was a little prickly at first but got a little better with time. Tried a couple of their beers and was happy with that and would definitely go back next time we're in town.

FOOD: The food here was delicious. We had queso birria and ramen birria. Both fantastic and flavorful. They have a great choice of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. I had the orange hefeweizen and it was absolutely refreshing and definitely something I would return for. SERVICE: All of the workers were like people you wanted to befriend. They were super friendly, super competent and super patient. Five star service. AMBIENCE: Once we figured out where the front door was, the inside was nice bright and open. We could see the micro brewery and the immediate line for beers. We were able to order our whole meal at the beer counter. This restaurant is very reasonable with their prices, and I do believe that's because they don't have to hire servers and runners. They have a beeper they give you and you pick up your own food. No skin off my back. The atmosphere was happy and cheerful from the customers, and the inclusion of people's dogs was absolutely wonderful. They have treats up front for the well behaved pups. This is definitely a place I will be coming back to again and again.

Love this spot. Great locally-owned business with amazing food and a wide range of beers and other drinks. They make their own hard seltzers with flavors that constantly change.

Tasty variety of beers, nice spot to hang out with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The in-house "food truck" is fantastic and remarkably affordable. We had the birria tacos, chili verde fries, nachos, and some chips & guac. Nothing missed the mark!

Amazing delicious food. All options for food are excellent. Never fails to deliver quality ingredients with quality service. The staff is very personalble and eager to offer delicious options. This is my local brewery location where I visit at least twice a week. I always bring family and friends to this location. I recommend the Carne asada fries. The atmosphere is amazing and "ZEN" is welcomed. Please look out for Melissa she is an amazing human, always smiling and in great spirits. Friendly atmosphere for families. The outdoor seating is like being at home and comfortable. This is definitely a jewel location in the Cathedral City area for all to come and enjoy. Their music is so amazing and diverse that it hits the soul as you enjoy their delicious food. This brewery is definitely here to stay. " one more luchalada, please"

This was my first time at Luchador. I was very impressed with the large selection of beers and the menu items. I tried the street tacos. They were delicious. Everything was fresh and the taste was perfection. This restaurant has a great vibe for and date night or lunch with a friend. It was very clean and had a great ambiance. The service was good even on a busy evening. We have gone back two times already. I highly recommend Luchador for any lunch or dinner.
This place is blowing it up!!!! I went here a few months back and it was just ok. Yet, it seems that each month they get better and better. A great place to hang with friends or grab a booth and recluse a bit. The brew choices are amazing. Go small and try a different one each time. You can ask for a taste first, if you're uncertain. The staff is helpful and can give you some brew choice tips also.The food is pretty good and I didn't see any styrofoam! Yay for that!The place is clean, has outdoor casual seating (indoor too) and ample parking. Yes, much of the parking is on the dirt lot, but the parking garage is there too, if you prefer.This is a nice area to walk about and enjoy the warm days. You can always have a couple brews and walk over to the theater for a show. Can't go wrong here.

One of the very few breweries in the liquor-heavy drinking culture of Palm Springs. Great and spacious interior, lots of craft beers to choose from, and some food.

Loved this place, first time eating here and won't be my last. This is a food truck inside a restaurant. It's really cool with a great vibe. Customer service was excellent. Love the outdoor patio, or you can choose to eat inside. We all kind of shared each other's food and everything was delicious. Will definitely return when we are in the area.1-4-2024

Hits* The diverse Mexican menu is the standout here. It will keep you returning for future visits to try the different items. The Birria Tacos Especial and the Tacos Gobernator are spot on delicious. My wife did not think she would like the Carne Asada Fries. She loved them especially with the queso sauce. We have not tried the brunch yet but expect it also be outstanding. * The dining space is very large with lots of room indoors and out on the veranda. The atmosphere is fun and whimsical.* There are lots of beer selections with flights being a popular option. Many of the cocktails are also made with beer. A selection of aqua fresca would have been a nice. The auxiliary bar area in the dining hall was not open during our last two visits.* The foosball in the corner is perfect for bored kids who eat their meals too fast.* Nice background music playlist but...see below.Misses* The restaurant is fast casual. You order food at the counter, wait for your beeper to go off, claim the food at a pickup counter and bus your table after the meal. On my recent visit, I was taken aback when it came time to pay. I was presented with a payment screen showing the 18% tip preselected. I tried to quickly figure out how to change the gratuity but could not. I also did not want to hold up the line. This could have been a random error on the cashier's part. If not, the restaurant should not assume the all diners want to pay a 18% gratuity. A less presumptuous solution would be post tip jars at both the ordering & food pickup counters.* The background music is incredibly LOUD. Many diners head to outside tables to escape the din. No luck, the blaring speakers are everywhere. I would suggest turning down the music down by at least at a third to a half. Another idea would be to disable all the outdoor speakers. It would be a much more pleasant experience and we would still have no trouble enjoying the background music.

Surprising new(er) spot for this local! Great beers, I was able to taste a few- all IPA's, especially the hazy and a blood orange beer. Extremely friendly service, with two cute pups to greet you at the door! They have a large space for events and a food truck concept inside with a HUGE reasonable menu. Cannot wait to go back and try their birria ramen and seafood items.
