Maskadores Taco Shop closes Ahwatukee location after 3 years

🚫 Maskadores Taco Shop, a local chain of Mexican wrestling (lucha libre) themed eateries, has closed its Ahwatukee location.

  • The franchise location had opened in 2021 on the southeast corner of Warner Road and 48th Street.
  • No reason was given for the closure.

The background: Maskadores, which originally was known as Mucha Lucha, debuted in Tempe in 2011.

  • By 2023, the fast-expanding chain had grown to 21 locations. Today, however, its website lists just 13.
