    ENCHILADAS VERDES
    Ahmad O.

    I had a good time at La Luna! It was my first visit even though I've passed this restaurant hundreds of times lol. I kept it simple and got the enchiladas verde and the accurately-hyped Luna potatoes. Everything was amazing - the crunch on those potatoes is unforgettable. Try and go at an off-peak time for the best experience - we were there on a Thursday evening and it was pretty crowded.

    Came to Pilsen specifically for La Luna and it did not disappoint! The chilaquiles were so good and paired perfectly with the drinks. Everything was flavorful, the drinks were great, and the whole vibe made it such a fun brunch spot.

    Lovely atmosphere with beautifully colored interior design. Portions were large, especially the appetizer/shared plates. Really impressed at how well all of the meat was cooked. Service was a bit slow but friendly and our food came out at a good pace. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a slightly more elevated but casual Mexican spot in Pilsen!

    The mussels

    Great place to grab dinner or drink before a Thalia Hall show. It's right across the street and the food and drinks hit the spot. I've been twice and both times I was very happy with my well made mezcal cocktails. This time I focused a little more on the food and my husband and I wanted to try a lot of stuff so here's how it went down. 1. Mezcal Paloma 2. Mata Miel 3. Salsa Flight 4. Pork Belly Taco 5. Al Pastor Taco 6. Sweet Potato 7. Meijillones La Luna 8. Taziki Steak Taco I'll break it down. Drinks are wonderful and beautifully presented. Salsa flight is fine, didn't knock my socks off other than the mango salsa and the chips are a bit denser than I prefer, but that's just my preference. Tacos were mostly wonderful. Liked all the seasonal specials with my favorite being the sweet potato. That was a shocker. Both my husband and I are big carnivores so didn't expect us to both choose it as our favorite. Pork Belly I thought would be my favorite, but it was further down on my rankings. It was a little bland and slightly tough. Loved, loved, loved the homemade pita tortilla on the tzatziki taco. Fun take on a gyro. My least favorite were the mussels and I think the reason partially had to do with fact that I didn't like how dry they were. My dumbass wasn't aware all the sauce was at the bottom with the rice and I probably should have mixed it all up. Guessing that was my rookie mistake, but PSA for the rest of you.

    I had been wanting to try this place but every time I wanted to go, it was packed. Finally made it in! This place has the best fish and steak tacos! Drinks were also amazing. Great ambiance, fun place for just about any occasion. A little pricey but definitely worth it.

    Cucumber mocktail

    La Luna was alright. The guacamole is very fresh, with pomegranates. The quesabirria was hard to pick up so I ended up eating it with a fork and knife. Tacos were good, and they have a good happy hour with $3.75 tacos. The tres leches chocolate was experimental and was decent. The restaurant seemed to cater to a white crowd, so if that's your thing go there. The cocktails were too sour.

    Cute spot in Pilsen! Went with a group of 6 on a Sunday night with a reservation, otherwise we probably wouldn't have been able to get a table. We got the salsa trio and guacamole to start and both were good just over priced. The chips were super fresh! I got 3 tacos for dinner: carne asada, fried fish and al pastor. The carne asada was a little dry unfortunately but the other two were good. Street parking in the area, metered as well as some free side streets.

    Salsa Flight
    Jesse P.

    I always love coming here! My friend and I stopped by on Halloween around 5:30pm without a reservation, and we were seated right away since it wasn't too busy. We ordered the carne asada tacos and the salsa flight, both were delicious! The portions were generous, and they loaded up the tacos with plenty of meat and extra onions just like I asked. Our server was super attentive the entire night, checking in often and keeping our drinks coming. We ordered a few cocktails and shots while watching all the costumes out on the street from our window seat, such a fun Halloween vibe. We ended up staying for about four hours just enjoying the food, drinks, and atmosphere. Highly recommend, amazing food, great service, and good energy every time I visit!

    Margarita And The Cauliflower Tacos
    Steve A.

    Checked out this Mexican restaurant that has a modern touch to authenticity. It may not be quite authentic but it's more like an update to it. La Luna is among the many options in Pilsen. A lot of interesting combinations. The prices may be kind of high which is the only bad thing to be honest. Basic in concept. It's another one of these modern takes on classic Mexican. There's some fancy looking trickery but it all ends up on a plate. Gets crowded. There's hardly ever any room on the inside. A lot of people still willing to overpay for average. It's about $14 for a margarita. This is made with agave, Cointreau, lime, and Milagro tequila. Food has a few vegetarian choices. It's about $5 each for the Cauliflower Tacos. Certainly is small but filling. These come with onions and romesco sauce. Other things on the menu include ceviche. There's lots for those who like seafood. For sure it's one of the popular places in the area. It's closed Mondays. There's meaty options but there's some things for vegetarians.

    Fish, pork belly and al pastor tacos.

    Six of us came in around 5 to celebrate Birthday. The place was half full so got seated right away. We started with the guac and the elote. Both were good. and the chips were fresh. We started with a pitcher of margaritas....about 5 glasses. They were decent. They refiled the chips. We all had various tacos and the mole chicken. with sides of rice and refried beans. The beans were amazing. Nice a creamy. The fish tacos were a handful. a nice bit of heat and batter fried tilapia. The pork belly for me was the best. A nice portion with really yummy pork belly. I had too much. I had to being my al Pastor taco home.

    Paloma
    Ella W.

    The vibes are amazing. I had the Paloma elote, queso, guacamole and sala flight. So so so good! Our server was super attentive. The only thing I have to say is that you NEED to arrive early to find parking. I definitely was not familiar with the area and drove around for a second! So be warned :)

    Kendra L.

    Went here a while back and the food and drinks is delicious!! Our server octavia was great. Nice little spot, clean and great vibes. My only problem was personally too expensive for such small portions.

    Steak and fish tacos.
    Brennen E.

    Food is delicious and comes out relatively quickly. Service is always great and I love the environment, colorful without feeling like an assault to the eye. They play the music loud enough to enjoy but low enough to still have a conversation.

Starting with margaritas (because obviously ‍), queso and chips that were dangerously good, and the chicken empanadas that came out perfectly crispy with so much flavor. We kept looking at each other after every bite like "okay wait... THIS is the best thing here" and then another plate would arrive and prove us wrong again The carnitas fried rice??? I genuinely cannot stop thinking about it. So savory, flavorful, comforting, and packed with crispy carnitas on top with the eggs and pickled onions... literally unreal. And then the skirt steak tacos absolutely stole the show. The steak was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and paired so perfectly with all the toppings and sauces. Every single bite tasted fresh and homemade in the best way possible. And can we talk about the ambience for a second because WOW. The music, the energy, the vibe inside, everyone celebrating, the drinks flowing -- it felt like the perfect Cinco de Mayo dinner spot. The service was also AMAZING from start to finish and made the entire experience even better.

Both adults and the VERY picky children in our group all enjoyed our meals. I ordered the green chicken enchiladas and the other adult ordered a chile relleno combo, which I also got to try.

Speaking of the owner, the service was great. We really enjoyed how he and the rest of the staff were very courteous.

There's no parking lot, but we found free street parking on Erie Street right next to the restaurant. We'll definitely come back!

Served on a bed of cucumbers, it was visually beautiful, and the flavor was fresh and complex. There was also a LOT of it. We ended up taking some home. Entrees were steak and shrimp for me, and Tampiquena for my friend. In both dishes, the steak was done to perfection. The sauce that came with my shrimp was spicy and deep--lots of flavor layers there. Both of us took home portions of our meals because there was a lot of food on the plates.
