    i have never been so impressed by a birria taco in the jersey shore before. the service was quick and the music was the perfect little jig to eat my food to. $35 for chips, tacos, and a quesadilla??? say less have my children.

    Complementary chips and salsa

    Best place for an excellent Mexican meal! Super authentic and the atmosphere is amazing as well as the friendly service. They have outdoor seating in the front or back of the restaurant. It's BYOB and you can even bring your own tequila and they have margarita mix. Must order the birra tacos and guacamole! Also get a churro for dessert!

    Let me tell you something. Luna Verde is absolutely fabulous!…read more Unforgettable HOLY Guacamole, DELICIOUSLY flavored tofu, and gooey vegan cheese oozed from my delicious quesadilla. This evening, we ordered Luna Verde via Ubereats. I was hungry, desperate for something healthy and clean to order. I ordered a Tofu & veggie - stuffed quesadilla with delicious vegan cheese, a plate full of chips surrounding the super-stuffed sandwich, as well as two generous scoops of their AMAZING guacamole, and spicy yet delicious pico de gallo. A feast fit for a queen! I was amazed. Now, please let me recommend their guacamole to you, and I'll explain why. Many moons ago, perhaps a year or so, I was in the local area of Bradley Beach, and dying for something good to eat. I went into Luna Verde, unknowingly entering fellow Vegan territory, and picked up a bag of chips and guacamole. Served in the perfect container, easy to eat out of, I indulged in this delicious treat by the oceanside. The flavor of the guacamole was so absolutely rich, not too salty or spicy, and extremely smooth, yet chunky and full of fresh veggies. When ordering this evening, I didn't put 2 and 2 together, that this Luna Verde was the same restaurant I had ordered the guac and chips from that day. Once I tasted the guac, I felt instantly at peace and a sense of calm and familiarity, as if someone I knew had cooked this amazing food for me, like family. That guacamole is AMAZING! UNIQUE! And I will always return to Luna Verde and continue to order now! Muchas gracias !

    One of my very favorite local restaurants. I have eaten here many times, and hired them to help me…read morecater dinners. It has always been over the top delicious and healthy. The meat eaters at the parties cannot believe the dishes are vegan (especially that amazing carne!) and keep going back for more. I love ordering and eating at their picnic tables. Most importantly, they are a pleasure to work with, a very lovely family business.
