When I still lived in Cali I had heard rumors of a Lucha Libre copycat in Phoenix and naturally wanted to see how it matched up with the real deal. Well, by the time I moved to AZ it had changed its name and lost its place in my mind. Fast forward to today, I'm in North Phoenix for work and remember the place so decide to stop by for lunch. I walk in at 12:30 and there is literally no other customer there which didn't bother me at all ;). Ordered a taco salad with barbacoa beef, chips and horchata. The meat was juicy and tender but not too overbearing. The lettuce, cilantro and corn complemented it well. The horchata was homemade I believe as you could taste it. I also enjoyed their salsa bar -- not as many options as I thought they'd have but their avocado hot salsa was so bomb. Only reasons I lowered this review to 4 stars are: a) ain't no way you're getting away with trying to copy an SD legend and b) there needs to be additional renovating done to the interior. They have plenty of space and even a bar from the old adjacent space they took over, but have failed to obtain a liquor license. Soo many missed opportunities here. The good news: I will be back for their awesome food and hopefully by then things will look less like a cover-up job on a once-attempted imitation.
PS: about the food -- come HUNGRY! The meal I ate had me running 5 miles at the gym tonight just to make myself feel better about the massive size of my lunch! XD
