Spotlight: Taco Lucha's Luchadores Bring the Party to Aggieville in Manhattan!

I am obsessed with this one, and I am not even sorry! The Taco Lucha mural in Aggieville is bright, bold, and bursting with personality, and it turns an ordinary taco run into a full-on fiesta! 🌮

Local artist Phyllis Pease painted it, and she finished it in January 2020. The mural carries the whole taqueria theme, complete with luchador masks, and I love how it matches the fun inside the restaraunt. Three luchadores take center stage, and yes, there is a championship belt in the mix, because of course there is!

You will find Taco Lucha at 1130 Moro St in Manhattan, Kansas, right in Aggieville, so you can park once, snap your photo, and then go in for tacos. That is my kind of two-for-one stop, and I will take it every single time!

What makes it worth a stop? The colors! The mural is vibrant in the best way, all warm reds and greens and happy yellows, and it makes the whole corner feel like a party. It is the kind of art that makes strangers smile at each other, and I am here for that energy!

I would come back tommorow if I could, and I am already planning my next Aggieville walk just to see those luchadores again. If you are in Manhattan, do not just drive past Moro Street, pull over, look up, and let this mural make your day a little brighter! 🤼
