El Luchador in Zürich

Delicious Mexican food. I had four tacos with different fillings and nachos for starters. Everything was wonderful. Accompanied by a bottle of wine and, at the end, a fine mezcal personally recommended by the boss. Great knowledge of mezscal and tequila. We'd love to come back!

food was ok. chees nachos very disappointing and very loud

Thank you for the nice welcome and the super fine food. Don't let the old style of the building confuse you, the food and service is simply great! Gladly again! Mucha's Gracias!

We loved the food and shall definitely go back there!

Food and atmosphere I don't give them a zero because I can't, the app literally won't let me, for dessert I ordered some churros and they are 3 churros tremendously fried and raw inside, they bring you dulce de leche but the churros are already full of sugar, the food In general it was good 6/10, but super small quantities for the price, the only saving grace was the waitress who was very friendly and attentive

Lovely little place with authentic Mexican food. Drimks were expensive (pitcher of margaritas over 100 cfh!!) Check the prices before you order.

Tacos were great, nachos were good but a bit too much salsa verde on top, so gets soggy. Churros were amazing and really fresh. Bench wasn't the most comfortable ever. A bit expensive for what it is, but if you're itchy for authentic tacos, you're in the right place.

Small authentic place. I love the different salsas, it even has salsa macha! We ate surprisingly well. Margaritas were also very good 😋 We'll be back soon!

arrogant. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT. Very expensive

Very fine, large menu selection and good service

Must go. Outstanding food. Wonderful place. Lovely people.

Sweet little place. Ambiance is great. Prices are a bit high.

Very small restaurant with great food unbelievable good authentic Mexican food absolutely loved it

El Pastor is amazing. Carne asada and carnitas are also worthy of trying. Overall, great Mexican food in the center of Zurich. I wouldn't mind a little more variety on the menu, but I and probably just being picky. Definitely check it out.

For Zürich these are pretty good tacos. The staff is very kind love them

great authentic food, good selection of beers.. cozy furnishings.. staff mostly top:)

We are here in Zurich and found this place just down the street from our hotel, tired out to be great just like eating in Mexico.

Great, authentic Mexican restaurant! Large selection of dishes. The homemade nachos with guacamole are highly recommended:-)) The service is also worth highlighting. Everything is just great! I felt completely comfortable and would love to come back!! :-)

Birria tacos are really like in Mexico! I also recommend the chicken tinga tacos and the carnitas tacos along with the horchata water. I congratulate the kitchen for significantly improving the menu. The service is very friendly and good atmosphere. A place to find tacos like in Mexico.

We went there on a Sunday night without reservation and got the last table - make sure to place a reservation especially on weekends. The staff is very friendly although depending on which staff member you interact with you might end up lost in translation. The food is excellent although rather little portions are served given the pricing. Would definitely visit again

Fast food before 6 p.m., the staff was a bit grumpy, the food tasted great, authentic, well attended.

Most expensive still water (0,3l) I have ever had: 5,50 CHF. And for the big water: 8,80 CHF The food was great and the location is nice.

Very authentic Mexican dishes! Our friends from Colombia liked very much! We will come again.

Completely overpriced. The food was ok, but absolutely nothing special for the prices charged. The service leaves a lot to be desired. They were friendly but the waiting time was long. too long until the food came. When we ordered further orders, we weren't sure whether it would arrive at all or whether it had been forgotten. There is absolutely nothing special that can be said about the ambience other than 0815. It was definitely the first and last time there. I definitely can't recommend it. A pity.

Very good Mexican restaurant. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is really nice and the waitresses are super nice! We'll definitely come back again!

Overpriced and mediocre food at best. I can't recommend it to anyone.

Eat here! Margaritas are authentic. Chips and guacamole are a must. Quesadilla is very, very spicy. Sabrina was a great hostess!

Good, but so damn expensive! How can 4 small tacos cost 27chf?

They are so kind and charming. We had a bachelorette party, we danced and sang out loud… the micheladas are amazing! ♥️

When we asked for still water. A reusable glass water bottle with what seemed like tap water was served, without any prior clarification- we were charged CHF 9.5 for each water bottle!! In addition to this the server decided to school us about minimum wage in Zurich and how tips are mandatory in the city for servers. I have been to several restaurants in the city and this has never happaned before. I would suggest avoiding this restaurant. If not for the rude surprises on the bill, the servers will take it upon themselves to demand a Tip!

Came here late night right before the kitchen closed. The staff was super kind, sat us right away. Food came very fast. The queso and chips was an excellent appetizer. We had the chicken, steak, and chorizo tacos which were all excellent. Fun music and atmosphere, highly recommend!

Very friendly service! Very good food!

Very good tacos and excellent horchata juice

The food is really good, the prices are Zurich

Very good food! Loved the experience. Will be back!

Like: - Margaritas - vibe / atmosphere is very cool - Food, especially the tuna tostada Dislike: - not cheap but normal for Zurich I guess

The food is very tasty, but the portion is a bit small. The service is very friendly. Everything was tip top for a culinary experience, but the price was a bit too high to fill you up, we spent 100.- for 2 people and still had room for more 😅 Apart from the top! 👌🏻

Many thanks to Aurelio for the great service. The food was also excellent, we would love to come back.

That was a pretty great torta I had, adding grilled cheese to the sandwich really made it better

The best birria tacos ever 🤩 and highly recommended!

Little choice for pesc. Prices higher than competitors

Nice cuisine but the service could be improved.

Delicious food at fair prices. The tortas (chicken) are highly recommended. Addendum July 2023: Unfortunately I have to adjust my rating to 4 stars. The prices have risen significantly, for me partly out of proportion. The service is still very friendly, but not quite as competent as it was a few years ago.

Authentic mexican food in Zurich for a fair price!

It used to be a great place to eat but the service is not what it used to be and the options are much more limited.

Very nice service and food! Taco is the best

I’m Mexican, went on vacation for four days to the city. I found the place and had dinner and fell in love with the tacos, they are really good, food quality is high and the service was excellent. I couldn’t resist to go again and eat exactly the same, carnitas, chorizo, beef and al pastor tacos. Authentic Mexican Food, worth every single penny.

Service top top, price-performance flop... way too expensive. Tip for the owner adjust the prices!

I do not recommend this place. We asked for glasses or tap water and they brought us 5.5 francs glass without letting us know - 55 francs total for 10 small glasses of water. We discovered it on the bill, they never told us they were charging us for the water nor gave us the option to choose. Totally crazy. We argued and they didn’t want to hear anything saying that we didn’t precise we wanted tap water, or even letting us to have the option to buy a bottle of mineral water (which would be way cheaper than 10 glasses at 5.5 chf each!!!). This places tries to rob you - I do not recommend people to go, there are plenty of other nice Mexican places around that are very good.

We were a group of 10. Throughout the dinner, we asked for several GLASSES of water. They brought glasses and at the end, when the bill arrived we realized they were charging 5.50 chf per glass. They never brought a bottle of mineral water but they claimed that there was a plastic bottle in the back of mineral water and that’s what in theory we got. Hence, they charged us 55 chf of GLASSES of water (we never saw the bottle). Beyond the money, the attitude was rude and disrespectful. On top, the girl attending us said that this is practice in the whole city when that’s not true. Usually, if you ask for water you get either a bottle of mineral bottle water and you pay for it or glasses of tap water (which might be charged or not but definitely not for 5.50 chf the glass).

Pretty bad value for money when ordering for delivery. Ordered six tacos and I can barely fill three with this quantity. Taste is good though.

Decent food the portion sizes are a bit small for what you pay even for zurich standards but the service is nice and friendly and I like that it’s located in the city centre but in a more quiet area.

I heard good comments and my expectations were higher. Everything was just Ok. Not good, not bad either. The Chilaquiles looked like nachos. They lacked sauce. I wouldn’t recommend the pastor tacos. The Carnitas tacos were good.

Excellent place to have a beer and eat something Mexican, the prices are high but it is Switzerland and everything is like that

Cool shop a bit noisy and not very well ventilated. Margaritas rather expensive. But the food is fine.

The Tacos with Res, simply amazing with wonderful employees as well 😍😍😍

Atmosphere is nice but the tacos were average at best and a little overpriced.

The tacos were pretty decent but way too pricy. I had one beer, my buddy had a nonalcoholic drink. We shared 8 tacos and one guacamole. CHF 120. I pay less for sushi.

Authentic and tasty mexican kitchen in Zürich! Absolutely delicious tacos and quesadillas in a very cool and chill atmosphere. Very good quality/price. The staff is friendly and knows how to recommend you the best dishes. The place to go for mexican food.

One of the best Mexican restaurant in Zurich. Perfect ambiance and friendly staff

Very delicious food,very friendly vibe the service waz so nice and warm welcome,a bit expansive the alcool and the starter

Friendly Mexican restaurant. Good selection of Mexican beers and mezcal. Tacos were good, quesadillas were great. Generally, however, on the more expensive side.

Amazing place and the food is really delicious! My favorite taco places in Zurich

The tacos are very good as is the michelada, the service is excellent!

Thank you for the great food and the great service ♥️ I always enjoy coming back

Immediate favourite Mexican place in Zurich. Absolutely delicious tacos, with a selection of classic ones and a fascinating choice of creative ones. The crispy octopus was amazing. Also, one of the best micheladas I have tried in Zurich, and you can have it with imported beers. The place is rather small and it gets packed. Even though we booked, only the bar was available (on a Thursday night!). The staff was great, friendly and helpful. There was a nice vibe in the place, people just having a great time. Yes, these are the most expensive tacos I have had, but at least for me, they're worth it. Can't wait to be back.

This place is brilliant. Food, service, price, atmosphere and above all the mezcal margaritas.

I enjoyed the food. It has a great atmosphere and friendly staff. I do think it's rather pricey.

Excellent tacos. Service could be improved Tacos flavoring was very good. They also have Mexican beers. I'm no Mexican but I've been to Mexico a few times. I was there with Mexican friends and they agree: very good tacos. Service was a bit slow. I was there in October 2017

Good Mexican cuisine, both for a snack, dinner or lunch. Also top drinks and beer, but very expensive. Service good, atmosphere hectic and crowded, but that fits well.

Authentic Mexico restaurant with fine, spicy food and friendly staff!

Went there with some friends. Great food, great atmosphere, friendly and funny staff. Can get a little noisy.

As Mexican, difficult to be fully satisfied. The food is acceptably good, mostly authentic. Nice sauces, I'm flavor and spicyness.

Knowlegable staff. Great place for mezcal in Zürich. Would recommend for any quincinera.

Very friendly staff, in an atmospheric restaurant with a nice vibe. But the service is slow, especially when you consider that this is Mexican street food! It's also remarkably expensive for street food. A pleasant experience however and I've been several times.

Food was really average.nothing one can't make at home. Pricey.

Was a fan from the very beginning! Back then it was really very fine, the salsas were authentically spicy, the tacos were very fine - the best in Zurich. After eating there again after a long time, I was a bit disappointed. The taste is gone, bland salsas and guacamole, no more spiciness, Mexico is far away. And everything is completely overpriced, Zurich. There's a ⭐️ for the atmosphere - still very cool.

Lovely girls run this small, cosy joint. It can get very crowded & noisy. Cushions could add next level comfort to the hard wooden benches 🤘Ass was hurting after 2hrs. Tacos are 😋, but wayyyyy over priced. Guacamole with a few chips 14.90 😬 Churros were a total disappointment. Very small portion & not fried long enuf & missed nice cinnamon flavor 🥺 But the dip was yummy! Overall, too expensive. Same food could cost half & they would still make a profit with drinks🤷🏻‍♀️ Zürich can be such a rip off😐

Very fine food! We'd love to come back

if you want to enjoy good Mexican food in Switzerland, this is the place. We went here in search of some spicy food and we were fully satisfied. It was delicious and the staff was very friendly and nice 😊

Not the nachos style I was hoping for...

Bad experience, the food was very dry, not enough flavor and the waitress had a bad attitude. I am surprised that this restaurant has good rating and references. In the end you pay a lot of money for nothing

Very nice, quick service and fast, super tasty, authentic Mexican food! Any time again <3

Excellent Mexican restaurant - great atmosphere, friendly staff and fabulous food. Highly recommended!

Very beautiful restaurant with excellent service. They were very welcoming towards vegan/vegetarian menus. The food came very quickly. Would 100% recommend!

Delicious food, especially the churros and really fast and friendly service

Great Mexican food. Actual Mexican food.

I liked the cozy outdoor area and the very friendly and fast service here. Unfortunately, I found the tacos carelessly prepared, dry and quite sparsely filled for the price. I thought the sauces were good.

Fantastic place, vegan and gluten-free options. Excellent staff, very friendly. I didn't take any more photos since I was enjoying dinner.

Nice food. Bad service. Slow and unfriendly

Great atmosphere, cool music the staff were great but most importantly the food was delicious and the beers were cold!! Highly recommended!! Xx

The waitress does not have good customer service. Appalling.

Was only there for a Caipirinha, but it was delicious! Come for dinner next time 😉

Was a complete mishmash of everything, much of it not very Mexican based. Portion sizes inconsistent and food quality poor. Terrible value for money. Staff were lovely

Food is just about ok, so is the service- there is nothing to write home about.

Excellent easy going to place to enjoy mexican cocktails and beers and some great food with great service in a friendly place.

I really liked the blue tortilla!! It reminded him of the taste of the marquise

Very delicious margaritas. 😋 Rather a bar than a restaurant. The ceviche is yummy! Staff was nice.

Bad experience. We sat next to the toilets that were stinking - this was later confirmed when I entered them. Guacamole was not good, especially because the avocado was blended (?) and without tomatoes. The waiter only told me my dish was not available when my accompanying friends received theirs. I then ordered quesadillas with a level 1 out of 3 in spice. The quesadillas were good but this was probably the spiciest I have ever had, spoiling the experience. By the way, they charge 15.50 CHF for a jar of tap water ,which you'll surely need if you have quesadillas. Ending on a brother note, I'm giving two stars once they were kind enough to accommodate us six without reservation.

The best steak tacos. And better guacamole than other Mexican food places.
