Taco Luchador: Reviews & Ratings
This was a fantastic experience for myself and my friends! The service was fantastic and Niam went out on a limb to make sure that everything was great and to make sure we had everything we needed. He also shared a little bit about himself and made us feel very welcome! The food was spectacular and the outdoor seating was very nice. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.
In town for the weekend, stopped in for an impromptu lunch. The tacos were incredible and packed full. Delicious guac and pico as well. Cute atmosphere with hanging flowers, raised beds, trellises, and music. The staff was friendly and attentive. A manager or the owner came out to check on us. He also encouraged his workers who were pruning the flowers to make sure they came in to get hydrated. Seems like a genuinely kind human who cares about others. I wish we had a place like this where we live! If we ever come back to Louisville we will be back!
Visiting the area for the Turf soccer tournament. Chanced upon this sweet little place with a beautiful front end! Ordered a variety of Tacos including the veggie taco bc I’m vegetarian. It was one of the best I’ve ever had! All Tacos were very flavorful and so were the sauces. The sweet plantain side dish was a great finishing touch to the meal! So glad we stopped by here in the little time we had between games!
Obsessed with Taco Luchador! The service was impeccable! The GM made sure we liked everything amd if we need anything extra. The patio is great year round. We passed thru but will definitely be back to try more food. This salad does not do justice! It was stacked tall and the flavors were unique and divine! I want to recreate the cilantro lime vinaigrette.
FANTASTIC food. Guacamole is a must!! Vegan option are amazing they have a lot of flavor. Highly recommend
We have always walked by going to get ice cream. We finally tried it, it is very good! It is about 20/25 a person depending on what you get. Counter style ordering with option to tip. They’ll bring it to your table. Really good tacos, and good margarita. Bowl had a bit too much going on. My boyfriend said it was good. For me, it doesn’t stay on the traditional side for al pastor. Had like pickled jalepenos, and pickled cabbage on it.
This place was AMAZING You must go! It’s the best street tacos I’ve ever had. The meat was so tender and flavorful!!! The #2 and #11 with street corn
1st time visit! Amazing shrimp tacos and fresh quac from scratch! Pitcher of margs did not disappoint even tho its batch made! No disappointments!
