An amazing experience! We celebrated a birthday and tried almost everything on the menu and it was all spectacular! You can't go wrong here. A nice little hidden gem. Highly recommend the deviled eggs, dumplings, fried chicken, shrimp tacos and burger! I just wish I took more pictures.

Decided to finally drive across town to try the highly recommended fried chicken! We went during happy hour hoping for favorable food and drink prices. Sadly that doesn’t really exist. No drink specials, and food specials are very limited! Definitely nothing off on the star menu item. Parking in the area was available at the time, but there are a million tow signs so you have to be careful. We just opted for the valet parking which is a tip only fee and not fixed. Very convenient. The restaurant is appealing from the outside and inside. Kind of a southwestern vibe. The servers are all dressed in white t shirts and jeans with a black apron. Nice simple touch. The bar area is a decent size but it confuses me as to why they have such a limited drink menu ( especially for the ladies). We ordered the fried chicken, collards, deviled eggs with a beer and the pomegranate margarita ( later sent back because it was more on the bitter side ). The food was excellent from top to bottom with the exception being that the collards are not cut down into bite size strips. They have good flavor though. The biscuits and the spreads that come with them are pretty good. Our service was little off but that was because our server may have been new. We would definitely return even though the drive is pretty far for us. The place started filling up at around 5:30pm so reservations are probably a good idea.

Loved the mood of the restaurant, if you are looking for a moody and cozy vibe this is it. Food was really good. The only reason I gave it a four star is because I would have appreciated more options for dinner. Putting that aside food was delicious and drinks were perfectly balanced flavor to alcohol ratio. Our server was 10 out of 10.

Went to dinner with my longtime friend. We ate fried chicken, shrimp and pork dumplings and collard greens 😜. Drinks were good too. I had a few El Jefe beers and my friend had longtime summer. I definitely wanna go here again... Houston Heights is always a good idea🫶🏼

I came in this past Sunday with my mom for a little Sunday brunch, and it was such a wonderful experience. We sat outside because the weather was amazing, and we had the pleasure of being served by Quinn, who was absolutely phenomenal. She was so attentive to our needs, fast, and genuinely warm every detail was anticipated before we even asked. The food, as always, was incredible. La Lucha is one of my favorite restaurants for a reason the oysters are unbeatable, the biscuits are perfection, and the fried chicken and shrimp never disappoint. I’m already excited to come back and try the Branzino next time! Quinn truly made our Sunday brunch special with her outstanding service. Thank you, La Lucha, for another great meal and experience.
