   Shannon was fantastic! Her recommendations were all spot on and everything that we tried was delicious; we got a family-style spread for dinner and crushed every bit of it with some frozen margs of course! Patio was gorgeous and the entire staff was great, we loved La Lucha!

   Excellent food, drinks and service. Fried chicken, biscuits, grilled shrimp and deviled eggs were especially good.

   This was my first time dining here, and let me just say—it won’t be my last! From the moment we walked in, the service was on point. The hostess seated us promptly and brought water to the table right away, which I really appreciated. We were a party of four and were initially seated at a smaller table, but when we asked to switch, the staff moved us without hesitation. Shoutout to our server Marlon—he was AMAZING! Super friendly, gave great recommendations, and kept everything flowing smoothly. We’d heard so many people rave about the chicken, so naturally, we all ordered the chicken and waffles. My sister also got the roasted oysters, and wow—every bite was delicious! The chicken was hot, juicy, and flavorful, and those waffles? Fluffy, golden perfection. Don’t even get me started on the syrup—I need that bottled up and sent to my house! The oysters were solid too—we tried both flavors, but the garlic ones were hands-down my favorite. We also sipped on some cocktails—the La Lucha Margarita and Lemon Drops—and had zero complaints. Our reservation was for noon, and while it was quiet when we arrived, the place filled up fast. Clearly, word is out! Highly recommend this spot, and I will 100% be back!

   Came specifically for the Chicken and Waffles and it did not disappoint. The chicken was delicious. I also ordered the Crawfish Bread which was a crawfish cream cheese sauce flattened out on French bread. Will be back specifically to order this!!! Sooo good!

   While La Lucha is one of my favorite restaurants, this wasn’t a very enjoyable experience. It was unusually warm inside, and both my husband and myself were quite warm. From the sweating vents and condensation dripping down every few minutes, it’s apparent that the HVAC was struggling. The air conditioning wasn’t the only thing struggling. Our server, Chris wasn’t his normal chipper self at no fault of his own. Service was lacking due to being short staffed. My go to side of fries were lukewarm and not piping hot like it usually is… and also a bit bland. Oyster dip carried this dish. Sad because we were truly looking forward to a weekend La Lucha date, but were left disappointed. High notes: oysters were great as always —Isle Dauphine were my favorite. Shrimp tacos were hot and crispy. Cocktail was tasty.

    Loved our dinner here. We will be back. Fantastic burger. Incredible. One of the best I’ve had in Houston. Highly recommend. The crawfish poboy was unique and delicious. Oyster deal was a great appetizer. Really top notch.
