    Pad Thai Al Pastor
    Isamar T.

    We visited during the weekend, we were able to get a table without a wait, the service was great, the food came relatively fast. We got Pad Thai al Pastor, the Bulgogi bowl and some fresh rolls that we forgot to take pictures of. It was our first time dining in but we have ordered Lo mein noodles with General Tso chicken for take out before and they never disappoint. The atmosphere was friendly, everything was nice and easy, we will be back to dine in.

    The restaurant had a nice ambiance - I was greeted by colorful lights and unique asian decor. I came on a Monday at 6:00pm and it was the perfect time to come - right before the dinner crowd. The appetizers I ordered (steamed chili edamame and friend vegetable dumplings) were very average, but I ordered the General Tso's Tofu Bowl and it surprised me! Typically, tofu is under-seasoned, but Lucha Tigre worked wonders on it! They also split 1 entree between me and my partner and gave us generous portions - we were but very satisfied with how full we were by the end. Overall, this place is worth a visit!

    Amazing!!!! I got the pad Thai! It was a little spicy. Loved the take though! My friends who went enjoyed their meals as well. Drinks were great too.

    We have been wanting to try Lucha Tigre for some time as we have heard great things about their food. Due to staffing issues and timing, they haven't been always been open, until today! We dropped in for lunch (Saturday). We were greeted directly and shown to a table. The ONLY reason I did not give a 5 star review was due to something that happened from the front door to our table. The floor was sticky and the tables were a bit sticky too. I know this can be an error in the amount of cleaner in a bucket, but it was off-putting to be honest. Our waiter was kind and took our order within minutes of sitting down. There are a variety of art pieces in the space highlighting the Latin/Asian fusion. The tables are ample and the tables with seats have generous seating. We ordered a Tuna Larb Ceviche for an app. For our main meal we both ordered a Bahn Mi Sandwich with Togarashi Fries. This item is only on their brunch menu and you have the option of Korean BBQ (Bulgogi) or Pork Belly. I went with the Bugogi and the hubs went with the Pork Belly. Our food arrived to our table hot and looking wonderful. We noticed sides of ketchup and what we thought was mustard. We were quite surprised to discovered to find out, thanks to our waiter, it was actually Curry Mayo. What a treat! So, how was the food? The Tuna Larb Ceviche arrived to our table with a generous portion of tuna. Easily a shared item! The lemon/lime juices of the ceviche at first seemed to over power the dish but then the other flavors of mint, onion etc kicked in and it was on point! We loved it so much we forgot to get a photo! Next up the Bahn Mi! It was everything you would want a Bahn Mi Sandwich to be. Bright fresh flavors with the heat from the jalapeños and for me, the Bulgogi! Would I visit Lucha Tigre again? SI, SI, SI!!!!!!

    Heat Seeker Shrimp

    I'm visiting Chapel Hill to see my friend here and we went here for dinner last night. The ambiance was so cute! I loved the artwork on the walls and the decorations inside. I also love the idea of mixing Asian and Mexican cuisine together, it's a mix I don't usually see and was unique. The heat seeker shrimp we got as an appetizer was delicious! The flavors were good and I liked the sauce they used. My main entree was the al pastor pad thai. I was a little disappointed because the texture of the pork wasn't the best and a little too chewy for my taste. I also felt like the noodles were a bit overcooked and the sauce overall was too liquid-y. The staff was super friendly and I wanna come back to try their cocktails! They looked super yummy.

    Taco Plate! @betterwithju

    We were going to be a concert at Cat's Cradle and wanted to grab dinner somewhere local nearby. Since Carrburitos is closed on Mondays, we decided to try Lucha Tigre since their Latin + Asian fusion menu appealed to us. The four of us all ordered something different from the entree section of the menu so we got try about half the entrees, and everything was just okay. We tried the tacos, Pad Thai, ACP, and Kimchi Fried Rice. Of those, Kimchi Fried Rice was our favorite, and we liked the pork belly on it. However, everything was very greasy tasting without a lot of flavor, which was disappointing because the dishes could've been amazing based on the descriptions. We also tried the pineapple margarita, and it was mostly just bitter and not sour and sweet as we hoped it to be. The chips and guac were decent. Especially with $$ prices, we were pretty underwhelmed with almost everything. I do want to note that the service was professional and friendly, so perhaps I'll come back when they update the menu a little bit.

We had: - the dates stuffed with pistachios and wrapped in bacon - the flounder - the steak with chimichuri - the olives - pan con tomate - potatoes bravas - tuna ceviche - crumble - cinnamon cake It was all very good. The best dishes were the potatoes bravas and the steak. Th rest was pretty mediocre. We had a broke of white Rioja--it went well with the food and was a good deal at $56.

Super casual, savory dishes, and maybe my new favorite restaurant in CH.

The place is quite small, with about five tables, and maybe 12 seats at the bar. We sat at the bar as we only wanted drinks and snack. Christian, the bartender, greeted us right away and brought food and drink menus. He explained the specials and took our drink orders. My companion found an interesting Greek white wine, and I asked for a boulevardier, my go-to cocktail for a new place. The wine was to her liking, and the cocktail was about the best example I've had in recent memory. Christian used Woodford Reserve bourbon and Campari rather than Aperol so it had a slightly less bitter taste and was a lovely auburn color. The food menu was very interesting, with lots of items we've never tried. We ordered caesar salad with anchovies, green beans in garlic-soup sauce, panella (a chick-pea and cream cheese dish), and seasoned French fries. It was all yummy and delivered together. The service we got really couldn't have been much better: attentive without hovering. The food and drink quality was outstanding, and we thought the prices were very reasonable for what we got. In short, thanks Christian, and we'll be back.

My two favorite dishes were the Gambas and the Barbacoa, overall they had the best flavor/value. NC Corn Elote ($12): decent grilled corn, but there was way too much mayo on the plate. Birria Dumplings ($17): these were good, I loved the sauce which had a good kick! Barbacoa ($19): The meat was a bit fatty/greasy, but the amount of food was well worth the price. It came with corn tortillas and other fresh toppings/sauces that cut through the fat. Campechano Sope ($16): The dish had a good spice, however, I think the octopus was overcooked.
