The Wall Street Journal: Try the black truffle quesadilla or lobster tacos. The trio of guacamole, which includes a hot chipotle version and one with mango, apples and and pomegranate topping, is also a good bet. Read more.
Alyssa Henry Gonzalez: Guac was the booooomb! But seriously, order the trio, it's so delicious. Quesadillas are also a must.

CB: Things to get besides the guacamole, which is great- truffle quesadilla, braised brisket tacos and spicy shrimp tacos. Tequila selection is great

Monica Juniel Byers: Have the chicken quesadilla - tasty!
Russell Hirschorn: All the tacos are great, short rib quesadilla very good, sopa good, 3 salsas, service and seating not good. Intercom didnt work so they did nothing... very slow. Horchata not good.
Leigh Ann: Oh man, I own a business around the corner from el luchador and I am obsessed. The grilled Mexican corn, their quesadillas, sitting in an RV with lively music. Such a unique spot in NYC. I love it.
