Lucha Burrito does burritos and it does them well. We use all Mexican produce and implement as much authenticity as possible. Many of our clients are from the USA who are burrito pros and they seem pretty impressed!

My husband Tom, and I, acquired the one year old Mexican Burrito Bar in November 2015 after living in Dubai for five years. We both were determined that our move back to the UK would depend on the right opportunity , so when Burrito Bandwagon came up we jumped on the bandwagon, rather than transferring back to our previous jobs in finance and HR in London.

When Lucha came up we instantly booked flights back to meet with the previous owner and really did fall in love with the quaint and quirky unit. Tom was born in Oxford and his Grandfather lives down the road so it seemed a sensible area to invest in. We have since absolutely fallen for Banbury and its diversity, talent and general creativity and passion.

We took on Lucha with the view to expand the business in all shapes and forms as we were fully aware of the rapidly expanding market of the burrito business.

We figured that most burrito chains are concentrated in London and haven’t quite tapped in to the smaller towns yet. Our intention is to educate people about burritos; getting people to have their first bite, and then never looking back!

We are in the process of jumping hurdles to purchase our next unit. We hope to put a real Mexican mark on it and design it differently to any other Burrito Bar you might come across, by bringing in the colour and vibrancy of the real Mexico, while carrying on the vibe that we have installed into the Lucha Banbury.

On top of this we are signing up for local markets/festivals and events to really get the Lucha name out there.

Lucha Burrito is a Mexican Kitchen serving delicious freshly made burritos, tacos, nachos and salads to meet any taste thanks to our wonderful and committed staff. We pride ourselves on our delightful customer service, our good quality and value, varied selection of meals and being able to accommodate anyone and everyone according to their preference.

Our salsas are a measure of our fine freshly made fodder. Our hottest salsa is spiced with Habanero chilli paste and chipotle chillis primed in adobo sauce – it is HOT! No fear though, there are milder options available.

We offer wholewheat and gluten free wraps which are very popular. We like to tell customers that can tailor their burrito however they like. If they want it extra healthy we stuff it full of our super fresh fajita-spiced, grilled veg and lean meat options.

Although the quality of Lucha has always been top notch, there was some fine tuning to be made before we started the expansion, such as adding a coffee machine, card machine, a couple of additions to the menu such a chilli beef and mild salsa, but we are pleased with what we have achieved in such a short space of time.

So come in and see us. Most of our customers take out, but we have seating for nine people inside, looking out onto the High Street through our vast bright windows as they watch the world go by.

We figured that most of the Burrito Bar chains have concentrated in London and haven’t quite tapped in to the smaller towns outside. Our intention is to educate people about burritos; getting people to have their first bite, and then that is it… you never look back!

So watch this space… we may ‘popup’ near you soon! #mexgeneration
