Lucha Rosa,

"It's cute but the cocktails are average. The staff are really friendly and fun. The food is NOT good. Please don't buy food. Overall, the vibe is cute and fun for a quick drink and the views are awesome. Order the tried and true cocktail you always get instead of their signature cocktails."

"Let me start by saying you should ask for the automatic gratuity to be removed if your service and food didn’t match the charges being imposed. It’s my understanding that mandatory gratuity May or may not go to the server. I get people don’t tip but auto gratuity on a table of 2 with mid food isn’t cool. This explains the managers responses in other reviews and lack of action (clearly) in properly training the staff or making sure the restaurants food is on point, but I digress. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s get into the food Food I ordered a Caesar salad and shrimp tacos. The salad had a lot of browning lettuce in it, of which I told the waitress. Her response, I’ll make the kitchen aware of this. How about ask them to open another pack of that Costco salad and make me another for my $12. Great Customer service costs you nothing and will be reflected in your tip. But with this auto gratuity stunt they’re pulling I can see why she didn’t offer that. I picked most of it out and left it on a napkin that I then placed back on my salad plate. Presentation of the food was nice but don’t be fooled. My shrimp were definitely cooked yesterday or earlier that day (and I mean way earlier). We got there at the time they opened, around 2p. No reason why my tacos were COLD, my corn tortilla was cold and CHEWY, and my shrimp were dry. I took a pic. The person with me had chicken tacos and said her corn tortillas were dry and chewy. Neither of us wanted to say anything to each other and agreed once brought up. Informed the waitress. Her response, I’ll let the kitchen know. No, how about you either Comp one of these $14, 2 tacos entrees or bring a free dessert? HOW ARE THEY TRAINING STAFF HERE??!!! No blame to the waitress, she is only doing what she either has been trained or knows. Food was a mess, but the guacamole was good. Hold this pomegranate seeds, super unnecessary. You don’t have to dress it up bc of the price, we know what we’re spending isn’t worth the portion, friend. ASTHETICS The restaurant itself is at the top of the Moxy with great views and very cute. Definitely a spot for IG pics only. I would only recommend drinks here (and that’s a reach). The food is overpriced. Small portions and extremely mid, if that. SERVICE Read all the other 1-2 star reviews. Folks aren’t lying and I’ll leave it at that. The part that’s insane to me is management is reading these and STILL not making sure their staff is trained. Replace anyone who isn’t falling in line bc one thing I can tell you for certain, is DC isn’t Atlanta. We don’t GAF how cute your spot is. We’ll put you out of business ASAP if customer service isn’t right and especially if food isn’t right. BOTH is a problem at this place and they just opened this summer. They try to throw a little DJ in the spot and you better thank him a million times over bc he/she is the ONLY reason folks still coming. Check the reviews, I don’t have to lie. Give that man a raise while you’re still in that location. Final words. Step it up immediately. As much as I hate to say this, right now you’re operating akin to garbage wrapped in a Gucci belt. You can do MUCH better. Grab drinks here (if that, I’d recommend only pictures) , hold the food, head to Eaton’s rooftop up the street which will definitely be worth your time and money. Signed, a frustrated customer who doesn’t like to waste his/her hard earned money."

"I recently stopped by Lucha Rosa, and I must say, I can't believe I haven't been to this place sooner. The restaurant's decor is truly amazing, with high-quality furniture throughout, giving it a welcoming and stylish atmosphere. The view from the restaurant is simply immaculate, and the service I received was top-notch. I had the pleasure of trying the Chicken Tinga Tacos, which were absolutely delicious. They were bursting with flavor and made for a delightful meal. I drank the morning glory and grapefruit cocktail, which were both refreshing. A highlight of my visit was the bartender, Ed, who provided exceptional service and made my friends and I’s experience even more enjoyable with his skills and friendly demeanor. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Lucha Rosa. Overall, I'd rate my experience a solid 10 out of 10."

"This place was AWESOME! Definitely a must for rooftop bar lovers (like me!!)!!! The views alone are incredible, but they’ve also done an amazing job with the decor! It’s so bright and happy!! It gives bougie Oaxaca vibes! You’ll find lucha libre art and bright colorful floral pillows and the flower ceiling… definitely a lot of photo ops! Food was unique…not a ton of options, but I liked the shrimp ceviche (although I would have preferred it more plain haha). Service was ok, but overall great experience!"

"The atmosphere was wonderful. The views and lighting are AMAZING!! It’s got a very limited capacity though so you’d have to wait in line unless you get there right when they open at 5, which I did. It’s inside the large building with Moxie on the top which was a little hard to find initially but worth the trouble. The service was great, the quesadilla was soooooo delicious. The drinks are STRONG which is great for the price. This is a more upscale place, perfect for a celebration, night out with girlfriends, or fancy date. There was a birthday celebration happening while we were there which was so joyful and nice to see."
