    Overall El Luchador was good. We had a reservation for 3 for 4pm, (arrived at @3:50pm, probably during a shift change?) but were seated promptly. It did take probably 10 minutes for anyone to take our drink order though. We ordered Chicken Fajitas, Birria Torta, El Pastor Taco plate, and the Homemade Guacamole as a starter. The Guac was ok, had more citrus and veggies than I am accustomed to, and wasn't very much of a serving for $9.99, all 3 of us barely had 3 chips 1/4-full before the cup was empty. The Chicken Fajitas were ok, the chicken was pretty dry and kind of chewy. They do serve a huge portion of chicken and vegetables, and it was enough to bring home some for another 2-3 tacos the next day. The Birria Torta was giagantic, juicy and flavorful, and came with fries on the side. The El Pastor Tacos were almost big enough to hold with two hands and super flavorful, and came with refried beans (a bit dry) and a very unmemorable, mexican rice. I would rate this experience, Good. It was an excellent value for the money. Food portions were large, and tasty. The inside was also very clean and looked well serviced. We also thought that with a name like "El Luchador" there would be more Luchador wretling influence besides just a wall of painted masks. Maybe include some memorabilia on the walls or some luchadorian wrestler themed menu items? We will definately be back and also recommend to friends.

    They did not acknowledge a Birthday that we were there for. Also the tortillas for the fajitas were so small you couldn’t put anything in them.

    The booth was cramped for 4 people. Our booth was close to the kitchen. It was too warm and too loud. Other parts of the restaurant were nice and cool. Food was good for the price. Bar has lots of potential. Happy hour pricing at the bar all day every day. Will go that route next time. All staff were great!

    This place is underrated! But I understand that everyone’s experiences can be totally different depending on the day. As soon as we walked in, we were pleasantly surprised by the vibe (especially since we knew what it looked like when Sweet Tomatoes owned the space). There’s a lot of seating, it‘s spacious, and the decor was well chosen. They have an open kitchen, which I love. There’s a long bar and an outside patio. We were immediately greeted by the hostess who was friendly and welcoming. Our server was even friendlier and very professional. The menu has a lot of yummy sounding options, which means we’ll definitely be back to try other stuff. We got the house made guac, house infused mango habanero margarita, a beer on draft, birrio burrito, and steak/shrimp fajitas. Everything was freshly made and delicious. Even our kids chicken tenders were made in-house. The service was quick, attentive, and warm. We already told our friends about this place! We’ll definitely be back soon.

Our server John was knowledgeable about the food as we had many questions. He guided us in the right direction. We will definitely be going back.

    I really wanted to like this place. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food on the other hand was very disappointing. My friend and I enjoyed the chili con queso but our entrees fell short of tasty. The rice tasted like it was from a microwave bag and I was bummed about the flavor of the shrimp fajitas. Maybe I’ll come back to enjoy the bar and get an appetizer.

    Great time had by all. The server bringing out the food and was very energetic and smiling the whole time. He asked us how we were doing and we were surprised to find out not a lot of the guests ask him how he is doing. This is sad on our part because these guys work their butts off and should receive the same kindness they are receiving. So hats off to all of the servers! Thank you for your hospitality.

    Nice spot for my birthday afternoon! Was great for my friends and also my son. I love the tequila selection and the food was really good. Don’t pass on the queso or elote and I couldn’t decide between red or green sauce so they made me one of each which I really enjoyed. They even have a few machines at the end of the bar which next time I will definitely try! I was able to keep an eye on the games going on and enjoy time with my family with good drinks, food and service. Definitely recommend.

    Update from my previous review: The owner himself reached out to rectify the situation and invited me back to the restaurant. I found this to be a very kind gesture and agreed to give it another chance. Our server Ashley did a great job being present without overcompensating based on circumstances. I really appreciated this. She treated me like any other guest and gave me a genuine El Luchador experience. The food and drinks came out quickly, and everything tasted delicious. I especially enjoyed the strawberry jalapeño margarita. It was very refreshing and not too spicy. The overall experience was much better than my first, and I would visit again. Previous review(1star): I never write review, but it was hands down the worst dining experience I've had. Aside from the very welcoming host the rest of the experience was awful. From service to food. I do not recommend it.

    Food was delicious and different from other Mexican restaurants….much more “upscale”. I had the shrimp tacos and they were very good. The slaw on top had just the right amount of kick. The others had chicken/shrimp fajitas for two and there was lots left over to take home, I would definitely go again.

    The ambiance and location was pretty basic, food was decent but nothing to rave about. Service was good. Menu was pretty good. I would go back here if I needed a place that was just convenient, but would never be my first thought when I want good Mexican food in Las Vegas or Henderson. Perfect for casual Mexican food diners. If you know better might not be for you.

    This is a well operated restaurant. Obviously it is a ‘tribute’ to Mexican wrestlers and the decor reflects this. The food is an 8 out of 10, in my opinion. We had GREAT SERVICE from the time we entered the restaurant, at the table, and from the kitchen. High marks on all items. I will continue to eat here and support these folks.

    First time here - went in for brunch on a Saturday. Wasn't packed so that is why it was quieter but I can imagine it would be noisier if all the tables were full. First of all, I am a margarita lover but can't stand all the mix that most places put in. El Luchador's house margarita is basically a skinny margarita and simply delicious - not too sweet and not too sour! Great brunch price, too. My companion had the breakfast burrito and loved it. I had the El Luchador frittata and it was heavenly. Ask for their green salsa - spicier than the regular, although both are really good. We'll be back for sure.
