The restaurant is in Old City very close to the Delaware River and within a few minutes' walk from the BlueCross River Rink, a nearby skating rink and imitation lodge venue (consider pairing the two during the winter months for a fun afternoon).
The restaurant has a strange name but everything else about it is awesome---from the food to the decor to the location. My boyfriend and I had lunch here last week on a trip to Philly and enjoyed our visit.
The host was friendly and prompt and directed us to a table without any issues. There was no wait to be seated. Our server, Nailah, came by shortly after we sat down, was super energetic and funny, made the requisite small talk, and kindly offered free chips and salsa to start.
We also ordered a small pitcher of margaritas ($27), which was amply four 12 ounce glasses, Luchas Nachos ($12) and Enchiladas Vegetarianos ($10). I also asked for hot sauces, and instead of giving me bottles of Cholula hot sauce or McIlHenny Co. tabasco sauce like other places do, I received a homemade sauce trio (mild, medium, and tongue-burning), the third of which is the Azteca sauce, which I first had in Cancun and which tastes so, so spicy but so, so good.
The margaritas were freshly made with salted rims, a slice of lime, and a comfortable amount of tequila. The Lucas Nachos entree was a huge portion, with crispy chips bathed in cheese, plenty of minced tomatoes and cilantro, and a crosshatch of sour cream. The Enchiladas Vegetarianos were extremely fresh, tasty, and satisfying, even though I could not finish it all. They were served up hot and cheesy in a boat of green sauce and with plenty of garnish on each expertly baked enchilada. I can tell the chef puts heart into perfecting these entrees!
We were going ice skating afterwards so I didn't finish my meal or overeat just to get my money's worth. I felt both entrees and the margaritas were fairly priced.
The server was very attentive throughout our meal, offered boxes (which we declined) and a check in a timely manner, and suggested dessert.
The interior was unique with all kinds of eye-catching decor including Day of the Dead-themed skulls and car parts and skateboards inside a giant gilded frame.
Highly recommended! We will definitely be back!
