Luchadores NYC: Reviews & Ratings
We first discovered LuchaDores in 2022 during our first visit to NYC. Their chicken tacos - with popcorn & cilantro, lots of “red” sauce and a few drops of green sauce - are my favorite. Their guacamole is very good, too. Everything is fresh and assembled right in front of you. The building is small and there is no indoor seating, but they’ve erected a shelter in their patio where you may sit at one of 3 picnic tables.
It was awesome. I got 3 tacos and they were everything I expected and more. Diablo sauce and the new habanero sauce (not on ment) rock
Wow! The service was incredible! We had steak taco salas, chicken and carnitas tacos everything was cooked Perfectly they have been here for 10 years and now I know why
Flavortown!! I walked in without much expectations and was pleasantly surprised. The tacos were warm and tasty, the tortillas held up well and were not overwhelming. I suggest the carnitas and diablo sauce.
Great tacos amazing location right next to South Street Seaport. The fish and the beef is great! The elote is slapping too! There’s a lot of shopping nearby as well. They even have heated seating that’s indoors!! Update, Cinco De Mayo!! Got my self a Cajun Shrimp Bowl so good!!
stumbled upon this place while my friend and I were at the seaport. we wanted something authentic but not expensive. at first glance, don't let the appearance fool you. We were immediately greeted and served. We tried a variety of things made amazingly by Kent and the team. the food was spectacular. I highly recommend u coming to this place. Definitely try all the tacos, corn pop(elote), and the guacamole and chips amazing!
Good food, service, and prices. Enjoyed the carnitas. Thank you. They make giant burritos, taco bowls etc. nice little dining zone. The employees are really kind and generous, they gave us free guacamole. Caronas are available. Go great with their awesome food. This place was really poppin at lunch time in the summer. Gracias!
A fabulous, reasonably priced Mexican restaurant right by the Seaport in FiDi. This hole in the wall place has delicious burritos with large portions of nicely seasoned proteins and superior cooked rice & beans. The vegetarian burrito, which has large pieces of mushroom, is the best I have had. The shrimp burrito is also recommended. The chips & guac are also great. There's a large covered seating area. Highly recommend for Mexican in FiDi.
