What visit to southern California would be complete without tacos? Not mine. Especially since I'm imagining/writing a cookbook on vegetarian and vegan tacos. I had to research! So, Gab took me to a great place right around the corner from her house: Lucha Libre, Gourmet Taco Shop.
Great how? Great tacos, great attitude and...great decor! As the name might imply, the restaurant has a luxe-Mexican wrestler theme, which means gold and fuchsia everywhere. Along with wrestlers in masks. Even the bathroom featured works from art history remained with wrestling masks!
Fantastic whipped soda; regular readers know I got the orange. An array of salsas and pickles and delicious tacos.
Gab had a the Queso Taco with chicken, avocado and cheese.
I ordered the Veg Out, which sounded amazing and had roasted zucchini, corn and a thin slice of grilled queso fresco.
BUT, the true winner of the meal, the taco I will remember and try to duplicate at home was the Tap Out, filled with avocado, poblano sauce and the vegetarian option--FRENCH FRIES. Fries in a taco? Indeed. Tasty and amazing. I'm still thinking about it...
