The original El Taco Luchador on Baxter has just gone from a tight, undersize space to a full-size restaurant, thanks to an expansion into the storefront next door. Excerpts from a news release:
El Taco Luchador Unveils Expanded Original Baxter Ave. Location
El Taco Luchador announced today the opening of its expanded and renovated store at 938 Baxter Ave. Earlier this year, Olé Hospitality Group, the owner of El Taco Luchador, took over the space just next door at 936 Baxter Avenue to make way for significant enlargement and improvements to the original El Taco Luchador location that opened in 2015.
The taqueria has gone from a tiny 24 seats to a more expansive space capable of seating around 120 inside and out. There is now fa ull bar serving house-made margaritas and sangria, as well as cervezas and a few other favorites. Also new is the “Taco Lounge,” an enclosed, heated courtyard.
