“We visited Lucha Canting for the first time tonight. It was excellent! I just moved back here after living in Austin, TX, for many years. I wasn't expecting the food and atmosphere to be as good and inviting as they were. I told my dinner companion the food was as tasty as any Mexican food I've had in TX, and it was beautifully presented. The way in which the restaurant was decorated made me feel like I was back in Texas! Lastly, our server was excellent. He checked on us just the right amount, and got our food out in good time. All in all, it was quite a pleasant experience!“

I don't think they actually have a bartender, you just have to wait for a server to pop in behind the bar to attend to you. Sometimes they're very attentive while other times, you're going to be there for a while. But we will always continue to go back because the food is so consistently good!!“

“This place is similar to Chipotle. Do not go to Chipotle. I like that they make their tortilla shells in front of you and you can see them cook the meat and the veggies. I like that their steak isn't chewy and it always cooked well. Their prices are better than Chipotle too.“

“This a pretty solid taco bell. But CONSISTENTLY every time I order a stacker with steak, and rice around 5pm, I get about 1+ inch of empty tortilla on top of the item. Like come on. I'm already paying $0.90 cents for steak. And another $0.90 cents for the rice and sauce I but I get way less food than if I were to order beef instead. A manager must work around this time who's a real stickler on portions. But every other item is great and every time I go the workers are wonderful. The food is really good. That's my only complaint is all the empty tortilla I gotta bite through to get a bite with some food. Hope this can change in the future“

“I wanna start by saying the food and employees haven't been an issue once for me but the app is another story. Every time I try to click contact us on the app or the web It allows me to fill everything out but won't let me.submut it. So now it's being left as a review for everyone to see instead of just the company. I will be deleting the app once I have my money refunded to my account AGAIN. I've ordered / tried to order food on your app I wanna say at least 12-13 times this month, out of those 12-13 times I got charged for my order but the app says error and doesn't send over the order at least 8 or 9 times. But the worse part is not only do I get charged for the food and have to wait for a refund I then can't even get the food I was trying to order / the price because it's online exclusive items / pricing. I have to buy my food again and end up losing my rewards points on top of paying more for the food. Just complete garbage of an app.But like I said I'll be deleting it after I get my money refunded again and just stick to the other fast food chains that I haven't had an issue with.“
