History

Since its opening in 2008, Lucha Libre Taco Shop has embraced the colorful and theatrical world of Mexican wrestling, known as Lucha Libre. The founders, inspired by their love for Mexican wrestling and their passion for authentic Mexican cuisine, created a dining space that celebrates both. This unique concept quickly captured the hearts and appetites of locals and visitors, making it a standout restaurant in San Diego.
