Luna's has legit Mexican food, and beats anything of the normal chain-type restaurants in Pilot…read moreMountain and Mount Airy.
My wife and I came in for a date night, and enjoyed the homey atmosphere. This place is packed into an old house, and room is limited.
But the food speaks volumes. Real, home-made beans are rare, but these are and, they taste great, Same with the rice.
My wife ordered a verde grilled carnitas burrito. It has some cactus in it as well as the pork and other stuff. It was absolutely huge, and she could only eat half. It was also super tasty. I did try it and agree.
I had 3 tacos: al pastor, carnita, and steak. They came with the normal onion and cilantro. The tacos were the best I've had in a while. I love the flat-top fried tortillas. We did have chips and ordered a queso with them, both were good. There was a orange/red hot sauce in a little bowl that was pretty good, but not very hot. The were some hot sauces in bottles: a green that could have been tomatillo or some mix, slightly spicy. A red, a touch spicier. Good stuff all around.
As far as I can tell there were just three people running the place. The cook, who was just 5 feet from us, in a groove and doing his thing. El hefe, doing various stuff, and a woman who ran orders, took payments, etc. Surprisingly, despite how busy they were, the place ran well and there were no long waits.
They have gorditas and tamales on the menu, both which tend to be delicious and not the most common. I plan to come back for sure so I can try other items.
