"Another family-run restaurant, this lucha libre-themed outpost with locations in Mission Hills and Pacific Beach serves breakfast daily from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at Mission Hills, lunch, and dinner. Early birds may want to try any of the burritos — chilaquiles; the OGB with eggs, tater tots, ham, cheese, and sour cream; or El Jefe with steak and a secret chipotle sauce. As far as specialties go, the birria nachos (vegan optional) are a top seller served with beans, onions, cilantro, sour cream, jack cheese, and a deeply spiced salsa muerta full of heat and flavor. With pink interiors and portraits of Mexican luchadores, Lucha Libre is family-friendly and a fun option for taco Tuesdays." - Roxana Becerril
"A California burrito made with juicy steak, thick-cut fries, and a chipotle crema quickly became the original Mission Hills location’s calling card in this restaurant mini-chain’s early days, which has since spawned a slew of spinoffs off the classic California burrito, including a chicken and poblano version as well as a birria-based burrito. Much of the shop’s appeal comes from its quirky Mexican lucha libre-themed decor, with candy pink walls, gold patent leather booths, and wrestling belts and other luchadores ephemera on the walls." - Candice Woo
