Fantastic place with wonderful tacos, burritos, beer and margaritas! The black bean and raspberry dip is amazing! Come on!

Grilled salad here is off the chain. Add chicken for some extra protein. If your really hungry, the Stacked Taco is your saving grace. Plenty to eat there and plenty to take home. If you go over the lunch hour, arrive 1145 to avoid the wait. read more

I've gone here several times, it's one of the first places I suggest when I have guests come to town. The service is usually great! The food I have gotten has always been very tasty. My main complaint is that for the price I should be receiving a little more food. I do enjoy it, but as a college student I can't afford going there very often. Especially since I know that if I go somewhere else I can get more food. read more

Buffalo chicken taco at taco lucha... you haven't lived if you haven't tried it. The freaking best.

For all the hype, we all felt a little let down. Great atmosphere but the food was just ok.

Although we often have to wait a while to be seated, it is always worth it. Wife enjoyed Cali wrap. I loved roasted pork burrito. Margaritas generously portioned. Can't wait to go back. read more

As a chef, they missed a few points in the kitchen. I ordered a sample of tacos, beef steak, chicken and pork. The plating was plain unexciting and messy. The seasoning was bland across the board with the trio. They were served hot and the tortillas were fresh but a bit dried out. There were about 4 diners at the time and i believe it was about 11:30 or so not a big crowd in at the time which was odd. The wait staff were constantly on their Iphones so it was hard to tear them apart from the internet to get service. 2 stars is a stretch..... but i have had worse so i'm being lenient here. read more

The flavors on these street tacos are insane. The steak slayer has a lot of kick but is a must order. Also had the buffalo chicken which is a little less authentic but every bit as delicious. Wish I came to Manhattan more so I could try more items on the menu read more

These are possibly the worst tacos I've ever eaten the chicken tinga was dry and cold and reminded me of cat food. The service was awful waited 30 min for the waiter to take our order. They ended up switching my drink with someone elses. Stay away from this place if you know what authentic tacos taste like!!! read more

We were in town for a wedding. Perfect spot for some food and drinks, especially day drinks. Get a Nancy to sip on while eating the chipotle raspberry and black bean dip. The black and blue taco and carnitas were the favorites. Great atmosphere but may be hard to get a spot for a big group. We will come here any time we are in town. read more

.Service was okay; not great or good, but okay. My son and I both ordered 2 different tacos apiece. I had the carnitas and pork slayer. He had the El Mexicano and Black and Blue. The slayer was great, carnitas was okay. El Mexicano was okay, Black and Blue was incredible. Would return to try some others. Rather pricey, though. read more

A small restaurant with a large outdoor seating area. A little on the noisy side. The food was excellent and they have a great selection of Mexican beers. The only downside was that menu said to ask about additional domestic and import beers. So I did. The waitress' response was "the usual domestics". Given the wide variety of beers in the U.S. this was not the most helpful response. So I chose an excellent Mexican beer insteaf. read more

Great varieties of salsa, smart staff and very good (though somewhat limited) menu. Reasonably priced excellent food. read more

Bottom Line Up Front: Great tacos. Cool vibes. Try the Nancy (Old Milwaukee beer mix with fresh pineapple juice). Attentive and friendly Staff. Decided to come here with the fiance because it was the only mexican restaurant in Manhattan that served Michelada's. The drink was okay, not what I am use to being from Houston. That was the only downside of this place. Everything else was great. It was pretty packed but that was a good sign. While waiting, the hostess took our drink order. People were seated in a timely manner and the hostess was doing a solid job at keeping track of who was next up for a table. Once seated, we ordered four tacos: The Tinga, Slayer, Black & Blue and Buffalo Chicken. I personally recommend the Slayer and Buffalo Chicken. The Slayer is the best street taco I've ever had in my life. Packed with flavor! After being disappointed about the Michelada, I noticed a beer mixed with a juice that alot of patrons were ordering. The drink was called Nancy (Old Milwaukee and Pineapple juice) and tasted amazing. It only costs $2! Can't beat that. Definitely try this place out! read more

The art of customer service is lost in Aggieville, and Taco Lucha is no exception. We were greeted by 3 obnoxious teenage girls, seated, rushed to order, & rushed to exit. The rude waitress even took the tip from the table before we had stood up to leave. No matter how tasty the food may be, the service gave us no time to savor our meal. We will not return - if you want to enjoy your meal, I suggest staying out of Aggieville and venturing to the outskirts. Baan Thai, The Chef, Della Voce, Harry's, and Umi are all much more pleasant than a wasted hour at Taco Lucha. read more

I only had the nachos as an appetizer so can't speak for the rest of the menu but goodness gracious they were incredible. Plenty for two people, especially if you are going to have an entree afterward, but man oh man I didn't want to stop eating this delicious mountain of nachos. Every chip seemed to have something on it which is the best kind there is. I also had a frozen house margarita and tried a few sips of the same but it was on the rocks...both were great, maybe a little pricey, but went down smoothly nonetheless. Could have been made a bit stronger but if you are a margarita newbie then you'll probably be a fan. Great indoor and outdoor seating on the patio...even in the winter you can sit outside because they have a nice fire going and heaters. No complaints with the service either. One thing though is I don't like all of the plastic...wish our drinks were served in glassware instead, since I hate thinking about all the waste that is generated on a daily basis. read more

Taco Lucha - Nachos and margarita - Mexican Near Me - Manhattan, Kansas

Kansas isn't the place most think about when it comes to awesome food finds but I really love the local restaurants they have in the Manhattan area. Taco Lucha happened to be one of those gems! The decor was pretty cool as well. We went on the ONLY day in March that was above 70 degrees, the weather was amazing so we decided to sit outside on their beautiful patio. They have a small menu but everything sounded delicious! My friend and I shared the guac and fire roasted salsa with chips appetizer, the guac was so yummy and I LOVED the salsa! I had the buffalo chicken taco and the fish taco. They were both super yummy!!!! I've found that most places that sell fish tacos tend to go overboard in frying the fish and it usually turns out really hard and chewy, but the tilapia they used for the tacos were slightly pan fried and turned out just right. The chicken taco had this awesome jalapeño ranch that was tasty, I am not a big fan of ranch but the hint of jalapeño made it way better. My friend had the slayer and the black and blue.. the steak was cooked perfectly and they have these amazing aioli sauces they top the tacos with, we had the jalapeño aioli and blue cheese.. both were great! They also have a pretty good drink menu, and several different types of margaritas. Their sangria was soooo delicious! They also have different flavored margaritas, I would definitely give the banana one a try, it was awesome, not super sweet either. It kind of tasted like a banana laffy taffy with a bit less sugar! Taco lucha has a small menu, from the name you can obviously guess its mostly tacos and a few other specialties, but you wont be disappointed! The prices are pretty good too! We only ended up spending about 40 bucks and we also had drinks. read more

Taco Lucha - House sangria - Mexican Near Me - Manhattan, Kansas

The tradition of going to Taco Lucha every Tuesday became one of my favorite in Manhattan. I can't speak more highly of Taco Lucha. My only recommendation would be to check out the specials on other days of the week, as many are quite good. read more

Call me Unimpressed. I am giving this place 3 stars only because the flavor of their steak is pretty good. It is Tuesday at 12:45 with a waiting list. Wow Im thinking this must be good. But once I was seated at the bar 15 minutes later I realized why there was a wait, the kitchen is the slowest kitchen I have encountered and when you realize all they make is tacos and burritos that is really bad. 45 minutes later i get my 2 again 2 tacos and well i have seen more meat on a Quick Trip Taquito 2 for.99 than on these 3.50 tacos. I wouldn't advise you against eating here but just bring down your expectations. I would be lying if I said I would never come here again. I would like to try there other tacos. Maybe they change my mind. O and the staff was great. read more

I'm one visit this place quickly became my favorite place to eat in Aggieville. The black bean and raspberry appetizer is like crack in a skillet...I could go on about how amazing the burritos and tacos are but I'll let you find out for your self. If you love tex mex, a fun atmosphere, and good beer! This place is for you... read more

This is a favorite spot of mine in Aggieville. They have a great outdoor patio and fun interior. I've been here many times and have only ever had great service. The drinks are great- personal favorite is the Paloma. But of course the real stars are the tacos- all are fantastic. They aren't too big, so I love how you can order just the right amount of food! read more

I asked my server to decide which two tacos I should try and he ordered it up! They were the best tacos I've had!!! Try the Peanut Butter taco on Tuesday, the beef was tender and the sauces were divine. Can wait to come back. read more

I've never been to a restaurant that can't offer it's patrons a high chair. I thought this was super weird and made coming here as a family awkward and uncomfortable. I realize it's in the college strip, but we've been to a lot of restaurants (not in Manhattan) with our little and this is a first. Otherwise, the decor was cute, but inside seating is very limited. The food and drinks were nothing special. I can't say I'd come here again, and I am surprised at all the rave reviews. read more

Taco Lucha has a fun vibe and the servers are very friendly. The seating area is fairly small so be prepared for a wait during the busy times but I think it is worth it. I had guacamole and chips for an appetizer. You could tell that it was made fresh with big chunks of avocado...delicious! For my meal, I had a chicken tinga taco and a black and blue (steak with bacon) taco. Two tacos were definitely enough to fill me up and well worth the $3 each. Both meats were nicely spiced and the flavors of the toppings blended well together. Wish I lived in manhattan...I would want to try everything on this menu! read more

I crave their grilled romaine salad on a weekly basis. It is amazing! Only wish the place was a bit bigger so the wait time wasn't always so long! So yummy though! read more

This is our go-to Mexican restaurant in Manhattan. The food is fresh and tasty and the house made sauce on the table is killer. I could eat it with a spoon by itself! The fish tacos are a favorite as is the avocado salad. This is one of the few places outside of New Mexico or Colorado that serves green chili, too! Haven't had anything here I don't absolutely love. Well worth stopping in and waiting for a table in their cozy dining room. read more

I really enjoyed our meal here. They were pretty busy and ended up sitting at the bar but the service was awesome and they definitely took care of us. The tacos are delicious and fresh and the margaritas were really good too- especially the mango! My boyfriend ended up stealing mine because it was so tasty. The only downsides were the wait and the limited menu- its basically a few burritos and tacos - but its good stuff. read more

Best Mexican food in Manhattan. You may not think that's saying a lot, but it is. Mexican beverages (including horchata and imported Coke and Pepsi), fantastic and very authentic tacos with traditional ingredients, all at great prices. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Pretty damn tasty. Good iced tea. Delicious nachos, some of the best in town. I had the Pork and pineapple salsa taco and a Chicken Tinga taco and they both tasted very good. Really over-stuffed little tacos with good filling. It's not authentic, but that's not the point here, it's just good food. Server was also SUPER nice. I'll definitely come back to try more things (and get the nachos again). read more

Taco Lucha is some of the best Mexican food I have had in Kansas. The aoli sauce they put on their Mexican-styled tacos put them over the top. I will definitely be back again. read more

Fantastic tacos, the best we've ever had in Manhattan. We will definitely be back. Don't miss the black bean dip, it is sweet with creamy cheese and a touch of raspberry. Really different and really amazing! read more

This place is great. Very happy when it opened up. It's tiny so you'll want to be prepared to wait if you go at a busy time but it's worth it. All the food is amazing, and you get huge portions if you get one of the burritos. I definitely recommend the raspberry chipotle black bean dip (very happy they brought this from So Long's). Regular college waitresses, which are generally fun and chatty and a decent selection of imported Mexican beers make this place one of those I crave now that I don't live in Manhattan anymore. read more

Taco Lucha has some of the most unique and best tacos I have ever had. The bean dip is to die for. And the strawberry summer beer is very tasty. I have tried almost everything on the menu and will never miss a place more than Taco Lucha. I wish I were able to be sent tacos from there daily read more

Great tacos, delicious margaritas, and really good guacamole & salsas. I would give it 5 stars if the service weren't consistently lacking. I've never had a nice waitress when visiting Taco Lucha and I've had to ask for things multiple times each time I've been. Still, the food is too good to give anything less than 4 stars. It's a must-visit in Manhattan...just ignore the waitresses. read more

Love the black bean raspberry bean dip to start with and I get the grilled ensalada with avocado and chicken with pineapple salsa. My husband orders the tacos and you really can't go wrong with any of them read more

Wow. Tasty! Lots of great things on the menu and they all have a fresh fusion-style flair to them. This is a place you come back to for the things you loved and for the opportunity to try the things you're gonna love! read more

1st time was a great place with a twist on normal food... kick butt and get the Nancy to drink

We went here on a recommendation. It is a neat little place with very limited seating. We had about a 30 minute wait. The menu is limited but the food is quite good. Not your standard mexican fare though. It really is not authentic but it is not tex mex either. read more

Super delicious tacos and drinks! Have enjoyed the tacos many times and they are great priced too!

Taco Lucha is the best Mexican Food Restaurant in manhattan! From the tasty raspberry black bean dip, to the friendly and fun ambiance they never seen to disappoint. I am a huge fan of the fish tacos with extra tinga sauce. The raspberry black bean dip is an amazing mix and highly addictive. Once you try it, you will be hooked! read more
