Girls night at Luna, dining outside (while the weather is nice!) Even though we went on a Tuesday night, we made reservations. Parking was a nightmare (nothing available on the street, so I ended up doing a parking garage a few blocks up). There are two (scannable) menus, 1 entirely dedicated to tequila and the other to food and other drinks. Service was friendly, on top of things, and knowledgeable. Food came out very quickly. I had the Cerdo and fish tacos with a spicy marg. The pork (cerdo) was hands down my fav of the two. The fish was pretty good (a mahi mahi) but did have the fishy taste, unless you got a bite of the pineapple salsa used. Both tacos had tons of meat, a good sturdy soft-shell, and neither meat was dry (yay). The tacos come with a side of lime, sautéed onions, and picketed spicy onion(?). The spicy marg doesn't mess around. Great flavor that heats your throat on its way down - I don't recommend drinking it quickly Loved the homemade chips! The guac was simple & nice and thick in its consistency. The salsas were all great, homemade is always a bonus for me. Definitely worth eating at (I haven't been to Donkey in quite some time, so I can't make a comparison...) Prices not to bad. 2 tacos for 9 (unless you get fish or shrimp and then it's +1.5), chips and guac were about 8 (we didn't finish them...could've but definitely would've had a food baby). read more

One of my absolute FAVES in the city! Affordable, delicious, gluten free options & great service even though they're always packed! They started taking reservations which is a HUGE plus! Recently they removed their queso off their menu though and I am SO bummed! What sort of Mexican restaurant doesn't have queso!? PLEASE Bring it back Luna! Love, one of your regular customers who bring family and friends all the time and sold the queso and let them all down read more

Luna - GRAND RAPIDS - Guac pico & chip when I can't get queso - Mexican Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Wow!! We went last night to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and everything was amazing from the food to the service. We started with some drinks, a margarita flight & a mojito. I loved the mojito! Not as good as what I've had in San Juan, but still up there. For our appetizer we ordered chips & guac, but our server didn't remember if we ordered guac or queso so he brought us both, plus a salsa flight! We definitely didn't complain. The queso is amazing!! The guac was great too, awesome lime flavor. And the salsas were very fresh, my favorites were the red & the verde, the hot one was a little too hot for me but good flavor still. For my entree I got 2 shrimp tacos on flour tortillas. They were so good! I've missed having good shrimp tacos nearby. Jordan got 2 carne asada & 1 chicken and loved his, as well. We also shared the elote, which came with chips, too. I loved that it came in a bowl instead of on the cob, much easier to eat. It was all so so good! We're definitely looking forward to coming back again soon. While it's on the pricier side, the quality is definitely on par. read more

My cousin and I stopped in for a late, small lunch on a Saturday. It had been awhile since either of us had been here, and were just a few blocks away. The previous times I had been in I remember the margaritas were pretty good, the chips were really oily, and the portion of guacamole was small. Not my favorite spot, but good enough when someone else suggests it. I have upgraded my opinion now! When we went (22 May) they were requiring masks, limiting capacity, and thus limiting time per table. I think it was a 90 minute limit, which was fine, especially for lunch. I could see that cutting a little close for dinner, especially since service isn't super fast. Our server was great, but the kitchen did take some time. We ordered drinks, split chips and guacamole, and each ordered a taco. The chips and guac come with pico de gallo and a trio of salsa as well. The salsa is great, the guacamole tasted so fresh, and (I didn't eat any) my cousin said the pico was one of the best she'd ever tasted. The chips were still really oily, but at least I anticipated that from previous experience. We also each ordered a black bean and sweet potato taco. They were excellent! I was pretty stuffed from the chips by the time the tacos came, but I would be very happy having a couple of these tacos and passing on the chips next time! Though they have pozole on the menu, which I also really want to try next time. Our experience was pretty good. Better than what I remembered. After this last time, we are definitely planning to return! read more

Menu was hard to read on phone and no paper menus were available. Menu isn't overly large - mostly tacos, quesadillas, a few entrees and some apps like chips & queso - but it was all very tasty. The chips are perfectly crunchy and stable for dipping. They do have a larger selection of tequilas and offer a very plentiful margarita flight. The spicy and prickly pear were my favorite. One of the people I was with did run into the issue that each drink he wanted was somehow out of. Additionally, we had a reservation. We asked for a final drink and were told our reservation closed for the next party and we had to leave. We were not aware there was any party after us (a party of 8) so abruptly. This caused us to take business elsewhere (despite room at the bar and restaurant in general). The sudden abruptness was rather WTF-ish because there was no caution from our waitress that we needed to wrap up. It would have been nice to know. read more

We took a last minute getaway to Grand Rapids last weekend and Luna was one of several options near our hotel for a meal. From far away, it looked like it was under construction, but up close it was road barriers blocking portions of the street to keep open for outdoor dining with tables spaced out comfortably. Honestly, it was a really weird feeling to initially sit down and have a meal. It's been over half a year since the family and I have dined out. But from the QR code contactless menus, fellow patrons abiding by the rules, servers wearing masks, and spaced out tables, I can say I felt comfortable and safe. Anyways with that out of the way, onto the food. Excellent. I had been craving street style tacos for the longest time. Really enjoyed the carne asada and pork tacos. I had also the fish taco as part of my trio, but wasn't necessarily my cup of tea. A bit heavy on the pineapple salsa it was topped with and really just tasted like i was eating a pineapple taco. Will also say the drinks were very much enjoyable. I personally had the spicy margarita. Perfect amount of heat and very well balanced. All in all, I would recommend if you're looking for some tacos and drinks. Patio was great as the weather was perfect out. Music sounded like it was pulled from my Spotify playlist so no complaints in terms of ambiance. When in Grand Rapids, be sure to drop by Luna! 'Til next time, cheers! read more

Well sh*t, travel does it again. Never did I expect as a Cali girl to be happily surprised by this place. First off the margaritas were legit the best I have had EVER. On to the guac, salsa and chips. While the hot salsa wasn't as hot as I'm used to, it was dang tasty. All of it.. On to the main where I asked for our servers favorites. He did not disappoint with the al pastor and carne asada. I may have been the first person to clear in my plate and I'm not ashamed. Rather eat a hot plate of delicious food then let it go cold with chatting. I know my priorities. If you make a side venture while there please add this place to your list. Que Rico!!!! read more

Luna - GRAND RAPIDS - Margarita on point! - Mexican Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

We went to Luna for margs & tacos after work and sat outside to enjoy the sun. Our waitress took a little longer to check on us (we seemed to be her only table outside) but she was very nice. We ordered chips & salsa, margarita flights (yum!), and various tacos. All of our food was satisfying, and we all enjoyed trying the margarita flavors. We were surprised to see it was quiet when we got there (around 5pm) but by 6pm the inside was packed! The only downside was being approached by people on the street while eating. They did seem to have a staff member telling them to please leave, but it happened a few times. read more

Luna - GRAND RAPIDS - Margarita flights - Mexican Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I ate here for the first time last night. We had an incredible server who was very knowledgeable about the mezcal choices that Luna offered! We started out with the chips and guac. The chips were pretty flavourless and the guacamole didn't taste fresh and was VERY limey. We each had three tacos. I had the chicken, fish, and carne asada. I thought the tacos were delicious overall. However, both myself and my friend I ate with ended up sick all night after eating here. This was the only shared food we had eaten all day. I'm not sure I would be back. read more

Fiancé and I came here before a movie at Studio Park, and it was delicious! We were able to get a table right away (it was a Tuesday at 6) and our server was very good. My fiancé was told to try the prickly pear margarita, so he got that and I got the mango margarita. We both thought his was amazing--that margarita alone is 5 stars. The mango is good too, it has a strong authentic mango taste, not a mango syrup. For me though, I felt like the flavors separated so it tasted like mango at first, and then just straight tequila. Maybe I didn't mix it well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ highly recommend the prickly pear though. We ordered the salsa flight which came with unlimited chips and three kinds of salsa plus pico. Our favorite was the hot chipotle salsa because it was creamy and also not super hot. The pico was extremely fresh and delicious. The other two salsas were fine, but we both agreed next time we would just get a bowl of the hot chipotle salsa. We each ordered two tacos. I got the pork and and carne asada. The pork was my fave. It was so flavorful. It came with lime wedges, pickled onions, and sautéed onions. It really elevated it! Fiancé got chicken and chorizo. He said chicken was a bit dry and bland, but chorizo was yummy and spicy. Definitely give this place a try! The ambiance is very casual and I'm sure at night, the lights inside give it a beautiful atmosphere. read more

When one thinks of Grand Rapids I doubt that most people don't picture this as a bastion of Mexican or Latin fare. Nor did I. Which is why I was intrigued to find Luna on several peoples go to lists. So when in Rome... Unbeknownst to me Mondays are Margarita Monday. Things were looking to start out good! The menu, while fairly simple, featured a nice variety of staples. Again I would like to try a variety of things and the Salsa Flight looked to be a great way to begin. Fried homemade tortilla chips were accompanied by their 3 signature salsas, mild (red), medium (green) and spicy (orange) and a side of diced tomatoes and cilantro. Dining alone made this a huge commitment as there was a lot on the tray. But the flavors were terrific and I would definitely recommend this to start with your group. Then the hard part...I am a sucker for good Chicken Pozole, but love good tamales. And the tacos, basednon other reviewer, looked terrific. For heartier diners, the Fajitas, Camarones and Tortas looked like good choices too. Ultimately the Pozole and Tacos were my path to a muy bueno meal. Because of the chip bonanza I opted for the smaller Sopa. Oh my! it arrived hot, with perfect condiments of diced onion, cilantro, Fontadina cheese and sliced fresh jalapenos. The Sopa, tomato-based with shredded chicken featured hominy that made it wonderful! Take some advice...while the chips and salsa are good, start with this! The tacos arrivd just as I wrapped up the Pozole...and the display...well after the first two dishes, kind of underwhelmed. The paper on the tray was dripping with grease, and the double shelled soft tacos, while fine, just looked sort of, well, like Baja Fresh. Sadly, they tasted similar, except when adding the oil drenched 'grilled onions'. Luckily the spicy salsa from the appetizer was still on standby and brought some life to the otherwise nondescript tacos. Dont get me wrong; I liked the way the meal started and think I chose well. I suspect the Tamales would have continued the charm. As always with new endeavors, now you will know. read more

Let me start with the word AMAZING! This spot is a must eat. The food was out of this world, from the handmade chips and various salsa and queso to the tacos both meet and vegetarian. We will be back, you can count on that! Not only was the food amazing, the service was top notch. I felt comfortable with the conversation, suggestions, service. Keep up the great work. The last note: we wanted to take our chips and sals home - not only could we, they made a whole new batch and put it in a bag to go! Wow! All I can say is you have a great service and we loved it! Thank you for an enjoyable evening! ** did not try the iced tea read more

Are you wanting great food and friendly service- than look no further. Luna offers a really nice atmosphere that is warm and welcoming. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. The salsa flight with queso is always a great choice to share with the table. They have 6 different margaritas that are made with homemade mixes. I recommend the chicken flautas and all the tacos for your meal. You won't be disappointed with anything on the menu. They also added a really cute floral wall on the patio for a memorable group photo! read more

Food Very good. I sampled chicken steak and pork tacos with the steak and pork ranking as my fav We did the salsa sampler and the pico really stood out as did the verde. The other two were just so-so and way to runny but combine them with some white queso and you are good to go! Seating was weird but it was GRU graduation so I'm sure they had their reasons not to seat us at empty tables (and stayed empty the entire time we ate) we sat at the low bar next to food prep. So can't say I loved the ambiance but I get it was special circumstances I did not like the margaritas. They felt like the premade stuff you get at the store though I saw the vat they came out of so maybe that was what turned me off. If you do get them definitely get the tahini rim. The smoky salty always pairs well with a margarita. I'd give them another try because the food was really good. read more

We are here for my boyfriend's birthday, but for lunch, so we opted out of alcoholic beverages, our food is taking a very long time to be delivered to the table. There's not a lot of people here at all. The service was very slow. Jason got two chicken tacos and one pork, very good portions of meat in each taco. The fish and the shrimp tacos are $1.50 extra per taco, and well worth the extra price. The shrimp is so big, they use prawns. There were three served on it, and was delicious! The onions and pickled habaneros were served on the side, and it was a perfect addition to kick up spice to any of your tacos! The fish taco was amazing, not fishy one bit. Tasted more like swordfish or a mahi taco, super delicious texture. The chicken is so tender, almost tasted like my chicken noodle soup, so delicious! The pork is amazing, so tender! Steak is so so. Maybe because the other meat was cooked to such perfection. They could've charred it out a little and it may have sent it over the edge of perfection! Give Luna a try! It's a great spot downtown Grand Rapids! read more

Luna was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced! I noticed that there were no reservations available at the time I wanted to eat, so I decided to just walk-in. Eating a mostly vegan diet, finding a place to eat with multiple options is really difficult. However, Luna had PLENTY of delicious options! The staff was very friendly and offered both outdoor and indoor options (this was around 1 pm on a Friday). Upon sitting down, I was greeted by a very friendly waitress who was very attentive throughout my meal. I ended up ordering the salsa flight and two black bean & sweet potato tacos. The salsa flight was HUGE and would be a perfect app for 4 people. While it was all amazing, the pico de Gallo was by far my favorite part - it was citrusy and amazing. The tacos were also delicious - they out a lot of food in to the tacos so you are full very quickly! I would highly recommend visiting Luna. If I lived in Grand Rapids, I'd be a regular read more

This place was solid. We sat outside on the patio, which was covered & decorative. A great vibe! Our server was extremely attentive & kind. Although I do feel like this trendy Mexican theme is getting a little overplayed, I can't be too upset when the food is good! The tacos were delicious & I was a big fan of their salsa flight. Chips were hot and homemade, which always makes a difference. Drinks were also notable. Another table recommended a party shot made with gin, that was surprisingly amazing. Other than that, a good selection of beer and margaritas. They do not do frozen margaritas, only on the rocks, so make sure you are good with that! If you are downtown and have a hankering for a street taco & some chips and salsa, Luna will not disappoint! read more

There was a 2 hour wait for a floor table (no one told us this before hand) our party of 4 sat at the "low bar"making it nearly impossible to have a conversation. Sounds fun & different, but it was pretty disgusting. We could smell the cleaning products and the buckets (which are pictured below) held the margaritas. Pretty off putting. There was college graduation going on, hence the 2 hour wait, however in the entirety of our visit, zero of the tables filled up. The food was very good, but the ambiance was less than impressive and the service was not impressive. One young man did approach us and offer some nice info around fun things to do next, but only AFTER the group realized I was taking pics and posting a review. Overall, I do not believe I would return. read more

Luna is a fun spot for a summer day! They have outdoor seating and margarita flights, which definitely draw me in. We were ignored for 20 minutes after we first sat. There was some confusion regarding which server was taking our table, but it was a pretty long time to wait without anyone double-checking until we leaned our necks out enough to get noticed. Awkward. The chips and guacamole were our starter. Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of their tortilla chip texture. They're thick and crumby when you bite. I'm sure it's awesome for some but it's not the thin, crispy chip I prefer. The guacamole serving is also pretty small for the full pile of chips. The margarita flight was fun! I liked being able to try different flavors. None were particularly outstanding, but I still enjoyed them. Finally, the tacos! I got three tacos, and that was probably my favorite part of the meal. I had the shrimp, fish, and chorizo tacos. I kinda wish they had a meal deal where you get beans & rice. They are offered as sides, as it is $8-12 more for them (depending on size), which is a little steep. Overall, it was a good meal. Not great, not terrible. But good. read more

Three stars and a fairly mixed review... My husband and I stopped in for a margarita flight and some taquitos on a Friday mid-afternoon several weeks ago. The margaritas were terrific. The prickly pear margarita was our favorite. The taquitos were warm and delicious. We recently went back for dinner having enjoyed what we had that afternoon. The service at dinner was very slow. We ordered our drinks and got them in a timely manner. The margaritas did not disappoint on the second try. We then ordered the chips and salsa flight adding guacamole, pico de gallo, and queso dips as well. The mild salsa tasted like plain tomato sauce. The others were very good. The guacamole was creamy and the pico de gallo had just the right amount of spice. The chips were very disappointing. They came in a pile which was composed of mostly little broken chip bits and they were very oily. I'm not sure there was any salt on the chips at all. We were pretty much finished munching on the chips and salsas and our waitress had not stopped back to allow us to order our meals. Finally after another 10-15 minutes of waiting she came back to get out dinner orders. It was very frustrating as we could see her in the back just hanging out but couldn't seem to get her attention. The other servers seemed to be back to their tables much more frequently. My daughter and I both had the tacos which were very good. Between the two of us we tried the carne asada, chicken, and Al pastor tacos. My husband enjoyed the camarones al ajo. Overall the food was good with the exception of the oily, cold, unsalted chips. I think we would go back for the margaritas and possibly the tacos. I'm not sure we will make it a place we return to over and over. My only other concern was that it was so loud it was hard to carry on a conversation. I would recommend off times for better service and a little quieter atmosphere. read more

Great service and the street tacos were amazing!!! Great atmosphere in the restaurant too!

Hopping spot! Ordered some take-out from here during the pandemic and it was delish and wrapped beautifully with awesome packed-up margaritas. Was happy to be able to go eat in-person recently and had a pleasant experience. The place was PACKED! And very loud! Happy we made a reservation or else we would have been waiting for hours. Loved the guac, margaritas, and tacos!! Service was prompt. Only annoyance was some buzzing flies around our meal but the doors were open so I guess that's part of the fresh air experience. Generally delish and now I want to be eating more tacos. read more

I've ordered and dined here a few times. I believe Luna is supposed to be an upscale Mexican restaurant. The appearance and pricing would certainly lead you to believe it is. The food is low to mediocre quality, bland, and inauthentic. The prices are too high given the quality you can get for the same price at other restaurants in Grand Rapids. I was particularly disappointed in the flautas; $9 for two very dry, very small tortillas with a minimal amount of unseasoned chicken. Comes with a portion of flavorless sauce to make the dish palatable. Yikes. Service is alright. I recently made an online order and they've added a fee to order online (who does that?) I would recommend El Cerrito for similar pricing but much higher quality food that actually has flavor. read more

Luna is a great spot for happy hour. I've always enjoyed their margaritas and some of the snacks/apps- but the actual tacos and other entrees aren't on par with similar local options. Portions and food quality of the main dishes don't justify the price points. If you work or plan to meet up downtown, stop in here before venturing elsewhere- it's worth a visit! read more

fajitas are $29 now?? We used to come here a lot, when it was "only" 50% more expensive for 10% better food/atmosphere than your average mom-and-pop Mexican joint. Now it's about double, and clearly just price gouging. It was super loud even though it wasn't busy because there is not a single piece of wall decor and it's just sound bouncing off brick walls and a tin ceiling. You'd think all the extra money from raising prices would let them hire enough staff to be responsive, but somehow that isn't the case. I waited for 10 minutes for a diet coke and when we decided to go elsewhere for dinner because of the new pricing/slow service, the bartender still charged me $3 for it. That'll be my last $3 after thousands spent at this place over the years - good job, Luna. If you work for a living and have any respect for yourself, please don't eat here. read more

Update to my previous review from 3 years ago. Their is food is just terrible. Service was okay but honestly it was not a place I ever plan to go back and revisit. The homemade tortilla chips were cold and oily, the salsa was still not that great and it was overpriced for what you get. I tried something new this time, their California burrito. It had the cheapest quality of ingredients. It was difficult to eat. It seems like somehow their food and quality went down since my last review. Which is a shame. I really wanted to give it a second chance and like it. One star because I would never pay for food like that and I will never go back. read more

Just wow!! Visited Grand Rapids for the weekend and was looking for a place to grab a quick bite to eat. Luna did not disappoint. Seriously some of the best tacos I've ever had. Everything was fresh & authentic. If you're into tequila you must order the margarita flight! We ordered the taco platter which came with about 9 tacos (pick your own protein), too hard to choose my favorite one. The chips are doubled layered and provide the perfect amount of crunch and thickness. I think I might book a flight just have them again! read more

Everyone else can fill you in on how amazing the chips and drinks and food is. They're not wrong. BUT I have to tell you how delicious their pickled red onions are!!! I never cared for pickled red onions until here. They're habanero flavored, if I remember correctly, so they have a kick, but don't skip out on these! Luna has never let me down. read more

Pre 2020 Luna was a fine establishment and I really honestly didn't have anything negative to say. My wife and I would go there once every week or two, we moved out of the city and have only been there 3 times in the last six months. Each time the food has been extremely bland or tasted as if it had gone bad. Well...2 out of the 3 times my wife and I both got pretty sick after dining in. Aside from the above, the menu hasn't changed in 2-3 years. We don't plan on stepping foot in here again, there are plenty of other establishments with fresher and higher quality food in Kent county. read more
