    I have dined here multiple times over the years and am always impressed with the food/service and ambience. If you’re a young man trying to impress a lady, this is where you take them.

    The food was the highlight of the experience. Simple, staple dishes elevated to a level far beyond what you usually find elsewhere. The family-style serving and multiple servers bringing out dishes straight from the kitchen added to La Lucha’s authentic feel.

    The overall experience was awesome! The food was fantastic. The atmosphere felt classy and fun (HUGE fish tank wall). Even when it became busier, the noise level was still on the quiet side. We made it on time for happy hour, so the drink prices were just amazing! And so were the drinks themselves! Loved the bartender! I definitely recommend going if you are at the Aquarium, or even if you are celebrating a special event!
