Last weekend I headed up to my old student stomping ground, Manchester, for a weekend with a good friend.
We headed to the opening of new Mexican bar/restaurant Lucha Libre for some tequila, guacamole and good old fashion Mexican fun.
Lucha Libre is a Mexican street food concept that serves authentic Mexican food from the state of Jalisco, Mexico. This then turns in to a late night tequila & cocktail bar; with the flick of a switch the decor changes and the illuminous wall murals begins to show.
The place has a rustic yet refined charm to it, the décor includes exposed lights and large metal pillars but overall it still looks reasonably smart.
It had a great vibe to it and fun Mexican live music…until it was interrupted by a fire alarm which continued for what felt like an hour. Still it didn’t deter us and the band even started singing along to it!
There are brilliant neon artworks around the room which you only see later on as they change the lighting:
As it was opening night I got a taster of lots of mini dishes and they were all honestly delicious, I’m not sure what exactly I ate but I know they included quesadillas and tacos of halloumi, guacomole, seared tuna..and lots more yummy ingredients.
…and for desert I think we ate our weight in mini churros, they were so moreish!
Overall really cool bar and would definitely go back for dinner and cocktails.
