Lucha Cantina - Rockford

It's been a bit since we had a vegetarian feature. We actually had tacos similar to these on a previous menu, but those tacos didn’t have Panela cheese. If you haven’t had Panela, you’ve missed out. We actually grill it rather than melt it on the tortilla. Then we add in some Crimini & Shitake Mushrooms, a house made tomatillo salsa and pickled onions. You don’t have to be a vegetarian to love these. Served with our house Patatas.

Now you know how to pronounce Oaxaca. Served on Mezcal & Lime Tortillas, these shrimp tacos are made with red cabbage, smoked bacon, goat cheese, cilantro, pickled onions and papaya habanero aioli. Served with a side of house patatas. (gf)

These enchiladas are just luxurious. This Mole sauce that Manny made compliments the corn from the tortillas and works beautifully with the Carnitas stuffed inside. The flavors are layered on with sour cream, avocado & pickled onions and each layer works beautifully with the last. Served with a house salad, these Carnitas Mole Enchiladas are not to be missed. (sauce contains peanuts)

We just can’t get enough of these tamales. Stuffed with Carnitas, raisins, caramelized onions, Gouda & Fontina cheese then topped with roasted bell pepper sauce, these are just amazing. Served with a house salad. (gf)

Think crab rangoon, but instead of crab and cream cheese we're grilling up some shrimp and mixing them with our Elote Dip. Dusted with Smoked Paprika and served with Sweet Chile Sauce.

We start with a bed of freshly fried corn chips tossed in our secret dry rub. Add to that melted cheddar and chihuahua cheese, slow roasted bbq carnitas, slaw, diced red onion, and topped with our house made queso. (gf)

No lame chips on this nacho. A single layer of chips covered in melted cheese, Lucha Queso, our black bean mix, jalapeños, sour cream & cilantro. Add chorizo or chicken for a few dollars more. (GF)

Its kinda like Spinach Artichoke Dip except there is isn't any spinach or artichoke in it. Instead there is roasted corn, Cotija cheese & smoked paprika.

We make this stuff everyday! avocado, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic and spices. Try it with a salsa or two of your choice.

Just like so many things here at lucha, we make this everyday. we use real cheese, milk, garlic, and black pepper. it’s extremely addictive. we’re not joking. check out the salsa list and pick a couple to add along side. (Queso not pictured - we know that's kinda dumb)

It's the best of both worlds right? Guacamole and Queso along with a couple fresh salsas. Treat yourself! (We know there isn't any queso in the picture)

Nothing wrong with keeping it simple. pick a couple salsas and we’ll get this out to you right away. (There's guac in the pic, but this doesn't come with guac. We just don't have the correct picture.)
