| - Bring your mucha luchador-sized appetite and head on over to the Mesa location of Mucha Lucha! The Mesa restaurant is smaller than the Gilbert and Tempe locations but it is open later than the Tempe store (Seriously, who closes at 4 P.M. on a Saturday? Booooo). The menu is basically the same as the other locations, with your choice of base protein or vegetarian with your style of preparation (As tacos, a burrito, nachos, etc).
I went with the vegetarian style rolled tacos. The tacos themselves are filled with mashed potato and if you get it vegetarian style you get rice, beans, and guacamole included with your meal. For toppings I had cheese, pico de gallo, onions, roasted corn, pickled red onion, white sauce and chipotle sauce. I also helped myself to some condiments from the salsa bar.
The salsa bar had a few different types of salsa, fire roasted jalapenos, and lime wedges. Unlike the Gilbert location the salsas weren't labeled according to heat level. My favorite item from the salsa bar were those fire roasted jalapenos. They had a smokey deep flavor with plenty of spiciness.
The rolled tacos were an excellent combination of soft mashed potato center with crisp fried outer taco shell and I liked the beans, rice and toppings that it came with. It was such a hearty meal that I didn't miss the exclusion of protein at all.
Service was succinct but friendly.
4.5/5. I will definitely be back!
