The New York Times’ Robin Raisfeld and Rob Patronite review two new restaurants in New York City that combine Mexican food and lucha libre. La Lucha really goes all out in immersing its customers in lucha iconography:
There are floor-to-ceiling lucha-libre posters, luchador toys and figurines galore, and affiliated knickknacks of every sort. Vintage lucha-libre films are projected against a wall. Even the friendly waitress pops up at your table from time to time wearing a luchador mask.
There’s even an El Santo plate!
