Our Story
Born from a love of lucha libre and Mexican street food, Luchador Food Truck brings bold flavor, fresh ingredients, and community vibes to Las Cruces. We're locals serving locals — and grateful every single day.
Started by the Saenz family — Ivan and Sandra — with one goal: bring a cool new concept with classic traditional folk Mexican energy to our beloved Las Cruces community.
The Good Stuff
Awards
Every luchador needs a championship belt. These two we earned with burgers.
Edible New Mexico's statewide green chile cheeseburger contest in Santa Fe. Luchador was one of seven finalists from across the state and brought the trophy home to southern New Mexico.
Two burger grill-offs against downtown Las Cruces food trucks, two first places: The Rock, with pineapple and ham, and the Bam-Bam Bigelow Brisket Burger.
