Luchador Micheladas & Botanas — Restaurant in Cypress

I'm conflicted on this one because the food we ate was decent, albeit not what we ordered.

I placed an order for pick up on their website, about $60 worth of food.

I arrived about 5 minutes before our order was due for pick up.

When I entered the facility I was turned off by how warm it was, not sure whether the ac was broken or they had chosen not to run it to save money but it was very warm and they had small portable fans everywhere. I couldn't possibly dine in with those conditions so I'm glad I ordered for pick up.

When I told the employee at the counter my name he said my order was ready, gave me a bag, I thanked him and headed to the car.

Half way to my car he stopped me and said he gave me the wrong order, I said no worries, gave it back and headed back inside.

After about 10 minutes, now past pick up time, he came out with a different bag and apologized again.

I made it out to my truck, turned it on and he knocked on the window and said it was the wrong order again. I laughed and said all good, came back inside and waited.

Another 10 minutes pass, I'm watching the Astros on my phone so no big deal except it's now about 25 mins past the original pick up time.

Finally, my order is ready. The employee apologized again and I'm on my way, shame on me for not checking the bag.

I'm pulling into my drive way, about 15 minutes from their facility and I get a phone call from an unknown number.

I answered and it was the employee from luchador.

He told me that once again, they gave me the wrong order.

I told him I'm already home and we'll just be happy with whatever we got.

We got probably $20-$30 less food than we ordered but the food was decent.

They said they would take care of my order next time we visit but we probably...

Been meaning to review this hidden gem! The food? 10/10. The drinks? 10/10. The service? 10/10. The vibe? 10/10. Whether it’s a family meal or a solo plate, the authenticity is unmatched.

We were greeted as soon as we walked in, no wait for seating, even though we came during a busy time. There were only 2–3 tables left, which just proves how good this spot is. It was 1pm and they had ran out of menudo already! Absolutely delicious for both breakfast and lunch highly recommend! Complementary chips and salsa.

We’ve committed ourselves to trying everything on the menu it’s that good. 😉 Fun fact: they actually import their mole from central Mexico! As a mole fan, that detail truly matters!

Another standout? They offer free refills on drinks (non alcoholic) and menudo! That alone deserves its own shoutout.

Victor was our server and didn’t miss a single detail. He is very knowledgeable! Overall excellent service, super clean place, and the lucha libre memorabilia decor from México adds such a fun and nostalgic touch for those of us who grew up watching el santo and blue demon movies w our parents. Plenty of parking too! The food did take slightly longer to come to our table but was definitely worth the wait.

Take a look at our delicious order below! On this visit, we started with chilaquiles with salsa verde and added chicken! For drinks, we had agua de tamarindo and a coffee. Main course, we ordered the Caldo Luchador, the large quesadilla, the camarones culichis, and a Mochomo taco.

We’ve already tried so many of their dishes before too! the flautas, menudo, shrimp quesadilla, tacos, enmoladas, and queshebradas and they’ve all...

UPDATEDED REVIEW!!! We've since visited twice since our first initial visit and now I absolutely hate this place. My husband still loves it and keeps trying to bring me back and its just not happening. Nice people, but these last two visits were disappointing beyond belief!Service starts off strong and the second they walk away it's a fkng disaster. Everything that could go wrong, did. I'm not coming back. I changed my all 5 stars on everything to what it is now. They have to get it together.

OLD REVIEW WITH 5 STARS: BRUH. I typically don't start off with BRUH, BUT BRUH! Service was AMAZING. Small but comfortable restaurant. A bit industrial with luchador and Mexico theme. True to heart. The music was a whole vibe. A bit stingy with the chips, but refilled upon request accompanied with some ABSOLUTELY delicious beans OMG. I had spicy margaritas with a spicy rim, and they couldn't be more perfect. I can't remember the names and I'm too lazy to look but I ordered the calabacitas and they were creamy delicious. They were served with beans and rice. We also ordered the queso with chorizo and chips, and that too was so good. Everything was absolutely fkng GREAT! We ordered some botana style steak, which was tender delicious, in lime, cucumbers, and red onions-a must! And the puerco in salsa verde-BRUH. I HATE i didn't come here sooner! I have been passing up this place for weeks! Our waitress last night was very attentive, so sweet, and absolutely loved her. Our visit was a 12 OUT OF 10! I...
