La Lucha Sanguchería Criolla 85 — Restaurant in Bogota, Capital District

I fully enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. I randomly picked it while walking around the Chapinero area in Bogotá and noticed how busy this place was. Luckily, the line for food orders moved pretty fast because there were two cashiers serving people. The downside I can mention is that both of these guys did not speak English at all,so I couldn’t place my order with them. Good news: there was a girl who made the food and could speak some good English, so they invited her to translate and take my order. The restaurant menu basically offers a variety of sandwiches and juices. The girl recommended I try a Jamón Artesanal sandwich. Plus, I was able to add a few items like an egg and bacon, and the result was super delicious! My sandwich was perfectly filling and fantastic; I really enjoyed its flavor! In addition,I ordered their French fries, which tasted very good as well, and the portion was big. For a drink, I decided to go with a mango-maracuyá juice, and I loved its fresh flavor too. My bill for this order was COP 52K, which is approximately U.S. $13, and this deal is super reasonable for the high quality of my lunch. The next day, I stopped at this place again just to buy a drink. That time, I went with a peach juice, which was incredibly fresh and tasty! The place was full of people again, by the way, and I totally get why it is so popular. I loved how the place is designed; its style is simple, minimalistic, and modern. Plus, the restaurant was perfectly clean every time; there was always a worker walking around and cleaning tables. I absolutely recommend checking out this restaurant if you are hungry for a sandwich or just thirsty for a...

What a sandwich!

Review after first visit.

Food - The sandwiches here are excellent. To start with, the bread itself was great, it was a little crunchy on the outside but nice and fluffy inside. The bread did a great job of holding the sandwich together. My wife and I ordered two different sandwiches, one was the chicken pineapple sandwich and the other was the house special lucho sandwich. Both sandwiches were extremely satisfying. The meat, the sauces and the ingredients were all well put together. We ordered the sandwiches with avocado and bacon as an add on. The sandwiches were quite filling but we weren't feeling too heavy or greasy after. Along with the sandwich we ordered a medium sized potato fries to share which was the right quantity for the two of us. We also ordered an Agua panela and a Mora juice, both were delightful.

Ambience - They have very good tables and chairs, the layout is fairly spacious and you don't feel cramped for space. They also have a clean washroom available.

Service - The service is fast, efficient and crisp. The staff are friendly and will happily guide you through their menu and will be happy to make a recommendation. Found the staff to be chatty and happy, which is always a sign of a place that's being well managed.

Price - The cost for two would be roughly around 40-60...

Amazing Peruvian style sandwich. I liked the signature Peruvian sandwich here. I also enjoyed the roast beef sandwich (added cheese) I would try the turkey or the lechón or the lomo for my next visit. The cashier really likes the chicken and pineapple. A hawaiian chicken sandwich :) The staffs here are super friendly and they have kept this restaurant very clean. After paying, they assigned me a numbered table. And shortly after they brought me my sandwich to the table. The sandwich may seem small but is very filling and a great value for the quality of the meat. Excellent sandwich for a quick bite in Zona T. The chicha morada drink here is also excellent!

I absolutely love the chicken with pineapple, especially when it's paired with avocado. Don't forget to try the delicious chicha morrada. And make sure to order a side of fries to...
