Lucha Cartel is a cozy restaurant with a charming outdoor deck perfect for a romantic evening. The menu offers a variety of delicious options, including nachos, steak fajitas, chilaquiles with steak, quesabirrias, and a mixed Mexican grill. The dishes are flavorful and well-seasoned, with some standout items like veggie nachos, which are served with jalapeños and topped with radish for a fresh crunch. Customers highly recommend the well-spiced chicken tacos, Phillysteak taco, and tacos al pastor, filled with flavorful pork, grilled pineapple, onion, and cilantro. The chips are thick and not too salty, making them a great snack with salsa, green sauce, or cheese. The drinks, especially the Micheladas and mojitos, are creative and tasty, though the glasses could be larger. The atmosphere is lively, especially later in the evening when the space transitions into a nightclub, adding a fun and energetic vibe. Overall, Lucha Cartel is a great choice for casual dining, offering flavorful food, friendly service, and a unique experience that can turn into a lively night out. Reviewers look forward to returning for more and enjoyed their time, noting the great service and tasty food.
