Luncha Libre

Brick and mortar food truck? I noticed there was a «new» Mexican joint and decided to give it a try. As I understand it, Luncha Libre has existed as a food truck for a while and have opened up a store front. I wasn’t sure what to make of it as they only have two items on the menu: quesadillas and street tacos. I ordered a chicken quesadilla with green chilies added and was slightly put off by the $ 9 total. That seemed a little steep for a quesadilla. The first look at it blunted my doubts and the first bite erased them. I would be surprised if there was less than a full pound of chicken crammed into a tortilla. Skillfully marinated chicken breast, I should say. I would argue that this is the polar opposite of what you think a quesadilla can be. Ingredients are made/​prepared fresh on site and seem to be of a consistently high quality. What they lack in menu quantity seems to be made up for in quality. They also have a «snack shop» next door. I was afraid to go in there but they did have samples of a chipotle chocolate cake. I’m not a big fan of chocolate cake but this has to be one of the best cakes I’ve ever tried. I can’t stop thinking about it. I will be back to explore more of that tiny menu. And maybe even the other side where that cake came from…

I love this place! Good food and good fun. Stop by for lunch if you’re in the area! I especially love the tortas haha I hope I spelled it right.

Orgasmic… simply put… just amazing. Their meat is juicy. Their flavors are to die for! I get the All Taid Up… sweet and spicy! The people working are always so helpful and fun to talk with. One of our favorite Hidden Gems…

tried the carne asada fries and god damn they were good !!
the staff was super friendly, all around it was a great experience.

The food and service were amazing! I love supporting local places. I ordered a carne asada taco and chicken taco. They were so overstuffed with meat and so tasty!

Just ate here tonight for the first time! Yum! Got the thai’d up dilla and loved the sweet Thai flavor mixed with the salsa. My son wasn’t going to eat at first (he was being bratty and said he wasn’t going to eat because he wanted a burger). Right when he saw the dilla, he quickly changed his mind. He devoured his chicken dilla and next time I’m sure he’ll order without hesitation. We will be back! Oh yes, I recommend ordering extra salsas if you are taking out– they give a 2oz container, but it is so yummy that if you are like me, it’s gone in the first 2 bites:)

Just ate here for the first time, had The All Thai’d Up. The chicken was juicy and tender with a ton of flavor and a nice spice kick. Tasty salsa too. Definitely recommend.

First time here: we ordered the cheese fries with pico and carne asada on it — the fries are awesome and I wish there were more — it had quite a bit of cheese on it and I would probably ask for ½ cheese next time — the beef was outstanding! We also had carne and chicken tacos which were very good — a bit on the salty side but very good. The steak & bleu quesadilla was a hit — massive and tons of meat and cheese! The chips and salsa that came with it were excellent and the salsa was excellent! Oh I had the unsweetened jasmine tea which came in a huge glass mason jar with a lid! Great place and definitely going back.

I am traveling from the east coast and growing up in LA, I really miss authentic Mexican food when I am there! The closest I can get to Mexican food on the east coast is chipotle.
I asked the person working there for recommendations and he suggested the all thai’d up quesadilla but I was craving tacos so I ordered the lengua (beef tongue), carnitas (shredded pork), and carne arrachera (skirt steak). My favorite was the skirt steak! I liked my tacos with chunks of meat. It was very flavorful! I also like the beef tongue: P That is one of my favorite cut of meat! But because this is stewed, it loses some of the texture that I like in the beef tongue. But the avocado slice in the taco was a nice touch. 3 tacos came out to be $ 9.50 and comes with side of chips and salsa.
I love the art inside this restaurant and I am happy to say my Mexican craving was satisfied!

Do yourself a favor and go here for lunch. My friend had the torta and it looked amazing (she said it was delicious). I had the carne tacos and the meat was flavorful and plentiful. The salsa — delicious. The corn tortillas were perfect and the perfect vessel for the meat. I’m gonna get them again
I had the strawberry guava luncharita and it was refreshing. It wasn’t too sweet and perfect for a hot day. I got a refill. The staff was super nice. The establishment is wonderfully decorated, but small. So I wouldn’t go during the rush unless you’re getting it to go. It takes a while to get your food because it’s made fresh to order and completely worth the wait.
I looked around at other peoples’ plates and everything looked wonderful. The dillas looked perfect. Next time I go, I’m getting one. Lastly, we ended our meal with churros… geezeeee creezeee. They came out hot. Bravo guys, bravo.
Ya gotta go. For the love of all that is good in this world, go!

prices are a little too much for me, but the food flavors are definitely worth it. I’ve enjoyed their food truckside, but this location is nice since it’s close to work!
I’ve had their lengua tacos which was done very softly since tongue can be very tough meat to cook, had their chicken papas verde and the thai chicken quesadilla. All the food has been awesome and so delicious. The guava/​strawberry ‘rita is my favorite and I’ve tried and have been unsuccessful at replicating it at home :(Oh well, guess I’ll have to stop by here to get my Luncha Fix.
Chips are crunch and just the right amount of salt, and the salsa although not spicy, is still very tasty.

Weird to see a food truck turn its concept into a brick and mortar store but given its location to me, there are no complaints!
Went in the other day for the first time (my girlfriend has had their food from the truck before but neither of us have had food from the store) after seeing the carne asada fries on their instagram. We split an order of those as well as a carne quesadilla, and had a coupon for a free luncharita (which do not have alcohol in them, which mildly surprised me).
The guy behind the counter couldn’t have been nicer! He gave us samples of the flavors for our luncharita and when we went to add on some chips to our order after having paid, he told us not to worry about it.
The Carne fries were, just, amazing. The only thing I would mention is that the liquid cheese was a little overpowering/​overdone but the fries were perfect, carne was tasty, and they also put some siracha on top. A full to go box full for $ 10, reminded me a lot of carne asada fries from Tacos El Gordo in Las Vegas in terms of portion size. Two grown adults weren’t able to take this down in one sitting (but it was just as tasty the next day reheated!)
The quesadilla was just as tasty with gobs of cheese, though a little smaller than I would have thought given the price, it also comes with chips.
They have a good selections of salsa and the mason jar you get with the Luncharita is yours to keep and bring back for $ 3 refills.
Overall our meal for the two of us, was $ 19 (take in to account we had a coupon for the drink and were given a free order of chips which are normally two bucks) which is pretty darn good for the quality you’re getting.
I’m sure we will be back!

I stopped in for lunch on Saturday and had a great experience. The couple that owns the place is very friendly, the food was fantastic and I LOVE the «luncharitas» (fresh juice) served in a jar. The citrus berry was absolutely delicious… I am seriously going to crave this stuff every day! The chicken dilla was quite tasty — the salsa was legit too!

Lots of choices, and fresh ingredients

I first had luncha libre from the food truck. Food is delicious and stays true to the food I tried at the truck. Small menu, but everything I’ve tried so far is good. Steak and bleu is my go to quesadilla. They have tacos here too.

I enjoyed the food! My husband had the black and bleu, I had the tai’d up and my 14 month old had the lil’ dilla (kid quesadilla). All were tasty and gooey with cheese. My toddler usually doesn’t like tortillas but he ate this up! We had take out, but we’ll try eating there next time.

Visiting Phoenix for a conference and saw great reviews of this place on Pinterest: Luncha Libre did not disappoint! We had the Chicken-​Dilla, it was delicious! All the ingredients were fresh. The chips and salsa tasted amazing, just the right amount of spicy. The drinks are very refreshing, they’re served in huge mason jars you can take with you. Prices are right on point. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The place is nicely decorated with merchandise of Mexican Luchadores, very unique. Will definitely be coming back to Luncha Libre everytime we come back to Phoenix.

Stopped in for lunch today and it was great. All the food seems to be made from scratch. The four different tacos were very good and they come with chips too. Ask for the hot sriracha salsa as it has a good kick. The torta and carne fries sounded yummy.

I am so happy they opened a permanent location! No more waiting until Fridays if I don’t want to. Their All Thai’d Up is my favorite quesadilla in the world. The mix of cilantro salsa and chili sweet Thai sauce is amazing. I usually don’t like onions in any food but they add so much flavor to the chicken and cheese. Their luncharitas are also something to look forward to. So refreshing and icy cold.

Hooray!
Luncha Libre have gone brick and mortar… and they’re in my hood! They were my first official post-​Scotland hangover meal this morning after I was re-​christented at the Swizz and Bar One last night.
You’ll find the same menu as their food truck, so I can now have my Steak and Bleu Dilla, with a side of chips and salsa, whenever I want!!! They also serve street tacos and luncharitas, and fresh churros for postre. They also have a small cooler with Mexican coke AND Fanta!!! Yup, FANTA!!! Orange AND grape flavor!!!
They’re starting smart with a tiny but cheerful spot with two tables, some counter space and a few sidewalk tables. Very cheerful place, with the same great yummy menu we’ve all come to love. Worth checking out!
