CELEBRATE THE EVERYDAY AT LUCHA
Our goal for Lucha was to create a new take on Mexican cooking, using natural, high-quality ingredients. The focus has always been on the
food... and the margaritas. Lucha makes nearly everything we serve in house. We like good meats, veggies and cheeses. We make all of our
salsas, dressings, sauces and marinades every day using only fresh produce, herbs and spices. Lucha uses only real juices in our cocktails.
You should really try our Lucharitas. They are outstanding. Thank you for your business. We really love what we do and hope that it shows.
