We went yesterday March 15th, for my friends birthday, we had a group of 6 and tip is added at 20%…read moreon 6 or more people. I would suggest that the serve mention that when taking orders so we know. Just because it's at the very bottom of the menu I didn't notice it until I asked for a dessert menu. The food was so good! We had Mexican jambalaya, Carne asada plate, tacos Dorado, enchiladas with both sauces, parillada, enfrioladas (bean enchiladas) tacos de pescado, Don julio flight, multiple drinks and churros. The churros were really good although we wish there was a non filled ones too and to have the optionof if we wanted it dressed up because churros are already super sweet with the cinnamonand sugar dusted but caramel and whip cream was added along with a strawberry filling. We also ordered a tres leches cake but we didn't like the tres leches cake, it was too sweet, so sweet that we couldn't taste the filling which we assume was pineapple lol the color was yellow with pieces of fruit but we couldn't taste it. Overall the service was great and quick. I would definitely come back here.

Plenty of parking available since the restaurant is in a strip mall. It wasn't too busy when we got there, but then it started picking up. There was only one server working and she was really hustling to meet everyone's needs. Plus, she was friendly. I had the carne asada burrito, it was good but nothing over the top that made it stand out. My friend had enchiladas with mole. We were most excited about dessert and decided to share the churros and Tres leches. It was a nice touch that the churros and Tres leches did not come plain, a little pizzazz since they were both served with berries, whipped cream, and a cajeta style sauce. Both of the desserts were so good and a perfect touch of sweetness.

My party of 2 arrived at 6pm on a Saturday evening and it was a lot more crowded than I expected…read more Initially, they told us they're no longer taking walk-ins and that we'd have to be put on a waitlist. Then, they said they could seat us right away at a small corner table right by the main door. It ended up being tight but at least we didn't have to wait. It also wasn't an ideal spot because we'd get hit by a gust of wind every time the servers came in/out of the main door to tend to the guests seated outdoors. For drinks we got the strawberry agua fresca (seasonal), witch's brew (seasonal), and the Benjamin. The witch's brew was too strong for me, but the Benjamin was good and the alcohol taste wasn't too intense which is what I prefer. We shared the tres salsas + chips, ceviche tostada, pink tacos (braised spare rib), and salmon tacos. The ceviche tostada and salmon tacos were my favorites. Ceviche tostada was light, fresh, and flavorful, and the salmon in the salmon taco was cooked very well. The tres salsas + chips were ok, the chips were similar to Fritos and the salsas were on the watery end which made the flavors feel muted. The pink taco was decent - braised spare rib was pretty tender but I liked the salmon taco more. Service was wonderful, friendly, and they checked in frequently. Ambiance is lively and nicely decorated.

Overpriced, mediocre Mexican food with some of the worst service we've experienced…read more We came here on a Friday night at 6:30 PM to celebrate a birthday with a party of 8, but we didn't receive our dinner until 8:15 PM. There was also a large party of around 25 people that the restaurant clearly wasn't equipped to accommodate, which seemed to cause major delays for everyone else. For appetizers, we ordered guacamole, salsa, and queso, but they initially only brought out the chips. After waiting about 15 minutes, we had to ask for the dips, and the queso still didn't arrive until the very end of our meal. When we finally ordered our entrees, it took over an hour for them to come out--and to make matters worse, the entrees don't even include side dishes. Throughout the entire wait, the staff had no problem continuing to bring and charge us for drinks, but no one acknowledged the excessive wait or offered any kind of compensation. After we finally complained to the manager, they offered complimentary margaritas and queso. At that point, the queso was obviously no longer wanted because our meal was already over. Then, to top it all off, they initially brought us the bill for the party of 25, which was nearly $900, when our bill was around $500. Accident or not, this was another frustrating mistake on an already disappointing night. If you can't properly accommodate a party of that size without severely impacting the rest of your customers' experience, you shouldn't be taking on such a large reservation. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back.

Ambiance has a nice rustic feel. Service was great and friendly, they weren't that busy so we were…read morelucky that we easily found a parking spot. However, if they get busy, I am guessing it would be difficult? Had the bacon wrapped prawns and tortilla chips for appetizer and it tasted great. We also had Chile Relleno and Burrito which we both thoroughly enjoyed. The nice ambiance, service and great tasting food makes it a nice place to lounge around and have a bite to eat.

Great outdoor seating, Ok Lunch. There is better Mexican in the area. But they're best described…read moreas hole's-in-the-wall so Luna is nice place for more than just having a bite. The staple letdown is the tortillas. The wonderful white corn taste has been sucked out of them. Yuck! Nicely done churros! The inside-out non-traditional chiles rellenos are odd. Actually, in Texas, I made rellenos with my family. At Luna there's an underwhelming flavor and no satisfying last bite taste at the stem. I convinced myself their tacos are better. Finally there's the mediocre guacamole that should be called a "better than the store" dip. After everything said, the pitted mortar the guac is served best describes this place: Odd, authentically exaggerated, but a great place to enjoy the day, admire the ambience of the Pruneyard and have drink.

Just an update about this amazing place... May 2nd and…read moreOctober 2nd, 2026: I'm a Burrito Lover, and when done right, it is as happy as a perfect steak or gourmet meal, when you are in the mood for something specific. My order: Double Meat Carne Asada, no Cilantro. Extremely large and moist Burrito, just the right amount of cheese, rice and bean= not to much, and the wrapping is nice and this, hence allowing all the fantastic meat flavors. They also have an outdoor seating area now. Professional and clean + a bar for cocktails I would go here more frequently if I didn't live 30 min away (without traffic). Highly recommend this place

A cali-spartan Mexican kitchen review, in haiku form:…read moreFestive, fun decor. Best orange sauce in sj? LV watch yo back! Honestly I was going into this a bit skeptical because even tho La Vics isn't about that food the sauce is their saving grace, and when a friend said there's a spot with better orange sauce I rolled my eyes so hard. But damn, that smokey chipotle orange sauce may be the dragon slayer we didnt know we needed! Food came out super quick and the staff was super attentive without being overbearing. I tend to speak in hyperbole, but this place has a hold on me that I don't think I'll be able to break! Oh yeah also side note that mangonada lemonade is to die for
