10/4/2025 Update:

I wanted to note that I've come here a few more times and the food quality has been consistently good. I will also say that, although it's limited hours, their breakfast burritos are pretty fantastic.

I'm a vegetarian that has been coming to Lucha Libre on and off for years. I used to be a diehard fan back in the 2015-2019 era, when they used to be relatively affordable, had fantastic vegetarian options (including enchiladas and a veggie-filled quesadilla!), and would have lines out the door at this location pretty frequently. Unfortunately, they expanded to a bunch of different locations in the year or two leading up to covid, and I think this caused them a lot of problems during the pandemic that caused prices to soar and portion sizes/quality to slip. My last review, in 2023, was quite negative, as their food was not good quality and very, very expensive.

The good news is that, while still expensive, they've significantly upgraded the interior of the restaurant and the vegetarian food quality is now quite a bit better than it was! I particularly like the classic veggie burrito with added fries. I don't think this is the best burrito shop in San Diego and probably won't ever achieve its former glory, but if you're in the area it's a fun spot to check out.

Food was solid. Got the surf and turf burrito, El Porky taco, champion fries with carne asada, and a seafood taco. Service was friendly and they have a great creamy salsa along with several other salsas at the salsa bar.

Haven't been to this place in a while and the menu has shifted away from traditional offerings to more eclectic style food. Of course, resulting in more expensive. Food was pretty good but service was almost non existent. Order on a tablet and grab a number.

The food good and you don’t have to wait for too long. A lot of meat with affordable price. Recommend Surf burrito and queso taco. They have free drink for a review but it’s on yelp

Food: Tasty! The birria taco had a real kick to it compared to others I have bad before. I really enjoyed all three tacos that I had.

Service: Self checkout with minimal interaction with staff, so defaulting to 5.

Atmosphere: Awesome. Just see the other photos.

Overall, closing remarks: Delicious food, but doesn't come cheap. Somewhere I will likely be eating at infrequently. My chips didn't come with any salsa or dipping sauce. I might have missed these if they were sitting out for self service. Something to dip them in would have been nice. The chips were hot and good even on their own, though!

First time here in San Diego, and first time at Lucha Libre. I saw a YouTube on this place for good eats. This place was just ok. Unfortunately there was nothing to rave about. I had the Birria Cali, my wife had the Surf Cali, and my son had the Champion Fries with steak. The burritos had too many fries in it and it was the thick soggy fries. The birria lacked taste which was unfortunate. My wife liked her burrito, but still, didn't like the fries. My son's Champion fries was lacking the champion in it. The steak wasn't seasoned that great, and again, lots of soggy fries. It's kind of hard to give a good review after going to Taco El Gordo the night before in Gaslamp.

Man... Very rude staff, even after I tipped (well) for them to take my order. Spent $108 on tacos for 7 people. They gave us 2 bags of chips. Mind you, each individual order you get a bag of chips. We asked for more and were told only 2 bags per order, rudely. After spending that much, and tipping them for doing their job I wouldn't expect to be treated rudely and not given more chips. Kind of ridiculous. If there's a next time, no tip!
