“First time going to Luna. The service was wonderful and the food was incredible. I ordered the two tacos and chips and salsa. I had one Raja (vegetarian) and Rock Cod. Both were yummy but the Raja was my favourite.My friend had the churro fries and loved them.Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian options which were absolutely my favorite. I'm not vegetarian but I often like trying different items off the menu.Dietary restrictions: I am celiac and had no worries when ordering off the menu. Everything was very clearly labeled and I felt very comfortable.“

“Awesome people running an adorable little store, feels very genuine. Ill change my review if i order something that really speaks to me more! I wasnt a huge fan of the build your own taco night, but thats a personal opinion not anything to do with the restaurant! Do recommend. Good food, good people.

“Stop! It's Taco Time.I love Mexican and quick food. So I adore this place. Combinaing some of my favorite things is an easy win in my books.Food is not top tier quality but the flavors and quantity is there for what you pay. Some of their items hit stronger than others. I'm a big fan of the burritos and tacos but not so much for much of the queso dusted items. Prefer more substantial cheese.I've been very impressed with the staff here. Always friendly and willing to help. I approve of their service every time I'm there. Only had one minor incident that I wanted to go and wasn't asked for option and was giving a dine in. This was easily amended but a notable nitpickOf course the seating is based on the mall and high variance to availability and cleanliness so I won't expound here.Overall, my favorite Taco Bell alternative with staff that demonstrate care.“

“If you’re not familiar, this is essentially a Mexican food version of Subway, where you can customize your own burrito/taco rather than sub sandwich. The serving size is absolutely huge. I’m a big guy who can pack it away and I have a hard time finishing a large burrito. My wife usually has a fish taco salad and loves it. This location is licenced so you can get a Corona with your meal for the full Mexican experience.“
