Lucha Libre Taco Gourmet Shop, San Diego



Heading out to the San Diego area and need a great place to eat? Look no further than the Lucha Libre Gourmet Taco Shop @ 1810 W. Washingon Street San Diego, CA. Not only is this place super cool (their website is http://www.tacosmackdown.com/ ) but they serve unique and delicious mexican food. Unique? Mexican food? Do those two words exist together in Southern Californian cuisine? Aparently so, at Lucha Libre! This is what they say about their Gourmet Tacos:


“Gourmet” Taco Shop?
Oxymoron?
NO! By “gourmet” we don’t
mean pretentious & pricey. We
just mean fresh ingredients, top
quality meats, and funky
delicious new menu items. Don’t
worry, we still have all the
taco shop classics: cooked and
priced right!

They give you free tortilla chips, like all good mexican places do, and offer a delicious variety of unique salsas. We ordered the surf and turf tacos and they did not disapoint, delicious! Everything is priced so well, under the taco portion of the menu there is a side note "Add Shrimp to any Taco for $1.00", when was the last time you saw that? My favorite local shop for fish tacos, Senior Baja, offers shrimp for additional $3!



The golden Champ's booth, if you call ahead of time, you can reserve this special seating!


The coolest high chairs I've ever seen

I have gone back 2 or 3 other times and they have NOT disappointed. Still haven't tried their burritos or the TJ hot dog, because the tacos are so good...
