La Lucha

I am loving these little pieces of gum that we got at La Lucha, a new Mexican restaurant on Avenue A that has a lucha libre theme. Not only did the place look awesome--wrestling posters and masks adorn the walls, with old movies projecting with the sound off--but the food was also delicious. Possibly one of the best Mexican restaurants in the city.

Maybe the best part of the night was at the end when the check came in a lucha libre mask inside of a miniature wrestling ring, along with a handful of these colorful Mexican gums. They're so cute that I don't want to open them.

Even though we were served chicken instead of cheese flautas, and waited a very long time for the check, we will definitely be back. Just not when we have to be somewhere at a certain time immediately after dinner.
