    Mocktails and Chips
    Tina L.

    I recently stopped in after watching a movie around the corner. I had a good experience at my last visit but it was also a couple years ago so it's been a while since I've been back. We weren't sure how long the wait would be but we're seated shortly after checking in. No one check in on us for a while once we were seated and the service remained very much the same throughout the entire experience. At some point we got our drinks and immediately ordered in case we didn't see the server again. We got our food after a while. Server did check on us but no refills of water were made. I had the mole poblano pollo and this is by far one of the driest pollo I've had. It tasted like it was cooked in boiling water for 45 minutes. Very little mole and the food all got cold pretty fast. I also tasted the vegan enchilada and the green sauce was very sour and if that was my plate I wouldn't have ate it at all. We each got a mocktail since we all drove but these were all super sweet. The place was busy. Scattered tables inside and the outside was busy. The server came around for the table behind us but we rarely saw him. The combination of the service and the quality of the food made this visit one that wouldn't make me return in the future.

    House cocktails

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon because I was craving some upscale Mexican food. It was packed, but luckily we were seated within 20-30 minutes. We got in line to put our names on the waitlist, then were told it would be a 45-50 minute wait time, but then we received a text shortly after saying our table was ready. We then waited in a second line to wait for our table. I've never come across a system like this before, but it seems to work for them. I appreciate that they do their absolute best to get everyone seated as soon as possible! We got seated much quicker than expected and placed our orders. Starting off with the cocktails, I enjoyed each drink, but I don't feel that they were super special flavor wise. I still enjoyed them - maybe I didn't order the more popular ones. I should have asked for a recommendation. Next came our appetizers. The chips were delicious but a little too thick. I appreciate that they are homemade though. The green salsa was spicy but it was so good I just tried to ignore my tongue burning . The guacamole was so fresh, the only thing I didn't like was having to squeeze my own lime into it because I didn't wanna make a mess. The elote was actually really good, it wasn't a gentrified version like most places make their elote. Then came our meals. The pozole was exactly what I was craving. I ended up taking most of it home because I ate lots of appetizers, but I'm excited to eat it for dinner today . The rice was cooked perfectly, but I personally don't like vegetables mixed in my rice. Despite my own pickiness, I left the restaurant completely satisfied. Thank you to our wonderful server Teresa for checking up on us, making sure we had everything we needed, and for being so welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be returning.

    Loved our meal here. This restaurant is located in the center of the Pruneyard. Walk-in's only, they don't do reservations. For a table of 6 outside, the wait was an hour on a Saturday evening. The ambiance was cute and the menu was not overwhelming. Complimentary chips and salsa is what we started with. I ordered the lobster enchiladas, a lychee azul lunarita and had some of the ceviche. It was delicious! It's also dog friendly and ordered my pup a side of chicken which he loved. Our service was OK, could be improved. Our server was nice but our table was in a secluded corner outside, so we definitely felt neglected and had to call him more than a few times.

    Beer battered shrimp tacos, delicious!

    Had a really nice work lunch outside at Luna's today. The food was delicious, and our service was excellent. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the experience easy and enjoyable. The atmosphere is great, and the vibe is lively without being too much. There's a full bar and plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, making it a great option for a casual lunch, happy hour, or dinner. Great food, great service, and a beautiful setting. Today I had the salmon bowl and it was perfect.

    Perfect for a night out with friends! I came here on a Saturday night around 7pm, and it was absolutely packed - as expected of the Pruneyard. The parking area was full, but there's people going in and out pretty frequently. There was a 1-hour wait for a table at Luna, but we found some spots at the bar for some drinks and appetizers before getting seated. I got the prickly pear Lunarita frozen margarita which was perfect to get the night going! I also tried my friend's mango Lunarita, and it was yummy as well. The bartender is super fun and friendly! For apps, we got ceviche, guacamole, and a quesadilla. 30 minutes in, we were alerted that our table was ready, which was way before the original 1-hour estimate :-), so we had our apps at our table. We were seated outside, and it was cool and breezy, and the bustling restaurant was filled with conversations. Such a vibe! The appetizers were super good - their chips are seasoned with a tinge of spice and were crunchy. The guac was smooth and creamy, the ceviche was super fresh and aromatic, and the quesadilla was soft and gooey. For my main, I got the lamb barbacoa, which was INCREDIBLY tender and juicy and literally so delicious. Melts in your mouth and super good with the corn tortilla. The table got the mole enchiladas and lobster enchiladas, all of which got high praise. If you're looking for a semi upscale Mexican restaurant, Luna is a fantastic option. Don't be deterred by the long wait, it is worth it!

    Cochinita Pibil
    Vivian N.

    I came on a Friday for a party of 7 for a birthday and it was packed! They estimated about 30 minutes, but got a text within 5-10 minutes! It was so hard deciding was to get but went with the cochinita pibil with refried beans instead of black beans and a regular margarita. We also ordered the Guacamole with Chicarrones alongside the complimentary chips and salsa. The guac was so good and I don't usually like guac! The chips were also fresh and so good! The cochinita pibil was 3.8/5 for me. It was good but it wasn't out of this water for me. I wish there were more flavor explosions but that's just me! I also wished there was at least 3 tortillas instead of 2. Rice was meh. Nothing special about the margarita either but it did the job! Overall vibes were good!

    I came here one weekday evening for dinner, it was busy - not much of a wait to get seated though. They had complementary chips and salsa . The chips were warm and nicely seasoned - fresh out of the fryer it feels like and they had two salsas - a green one and a red one. The green one is my favorite, very delicious. I also ordered their cochinita pibil which was delicious - good flavor, good size portion, came with red rice, beans, 2 tortillas and pickled onions. The pork was tender and flavorful. Definitely recommend. My friend ordered the salmon tacos and they said they were delicious and would definitely order it again.

    Chile Relleno de Calabacitas.
    Mike B.

    Excellent, but generally very busy. I tried to scope out the place on the first night of a trip, and it was completely overwhelmed with people. I stopped by the following night and found a place at the bar. The staff were extremely helpful. The space is nicely decorated. The food is really nicely done, even in the context of vegetable forward dishes. In terms of food, I ordered the Chile relleno de calabacitas, and it was excellent. A nice portion of tart tomato sauce, plus rice and beans. Plus a nicely done relleno that didn't lean too hard into the concept of a deep fried orb of whipped egg whites. There's not anything wrong with the traditional version, but this felt a touch lighter. It was really nicely assembled. I'll also note that the house chips and salsa were extremely well done. The chips were clearly prepared in house. The salsas were flavorful and interesting. It was an excellent spread. Beer options were somewhat lacking: just Mexican lagers, but that's mostly just par for the course. That's what they're aiming for. All told, this was an excellent destination, it's pretty clear why it seems to be packed on a regular basis.

    Chips, Salsa, Margs w companero de trabajo
    Erik F.

    Mex dining at Luna was the payoff for burning 20-30 min finding parking in the Pruneyard. We strolled in past the long wait line to nab two remaining bar stools at the outside bar. Our bartender (Albaro?) was slammed yet attentive to our arrival, and provided cheerful service. Me and a colleague split Chips, Guac, Queso (fundido-like), Yellowtail Crudo, and the Bacon Wrapped Camarones, all washed down w a couple Margs. Super good. We left w full bellies and proceeded to people watch from the patio. Being mostly outdoor patio dining on a beautiful evening, the place was quite the scene.

    salmon bowl
    Julia P.

    Came here on two different occasions! There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating but it does get busy at lunch and dinner times. You can also check out the bar to see if there are empty spots and then you can get seated right away (I didn't know this!). Starting with appetizers, every table gets a complimentary chips and guac which is refillable and very delicious. The chips are very fresh and crispy which pairs well with both sauces. For the entree, my favorite is the salmon bowl. It has salmon, broccolini, sweet potato, quinoa, etc. which all pairs really well together. It's definitely a nutritious meal worth the price. I was surprised that their cheese quesadilla was so good - the flour tortilla is extra crispy and the sour cream, guac and salsa all go well with the pieces. Also another dish worth the price! For the drinks, they have a watermelon seasonal agua fresca and margarita. The watermelon juice is so tasty and refreshing for the summer. Also want to shout out the waiters and how they are so attentive and friendly. They definitely check in on your table a lot. Definitely coming back!

    Thank you Manny and Anna G for an amazing experience . Came last night and had issue with our seating. He took care of the issue with class. Will return!

    Chips and salsa
    Bianka G.

    Beautiful Mexican restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Great place for large group (max 10) dining as well. First off this is a No seed oil kitchen. Nice to see more restaurants adopting this concept. We started off with the some drinks- classic Margarita, spicy Margarita, and the lychee Azul margarita. Drinks were well crafted and strong. We were a large group celebrating a graduation so the wait time took a bit but we were all good waiting with our drinks in hand. Once seated, the chips and salsa were brought out. Great crispy chips and a red and green salsa. The green one was DELICIOUS. They have a nice variety of options on the menu and everything looked worth a try. In this case because we were a large group we went with one of their PARRILLADAS which is a variety of meats and l comes with rice, beans, grilled onions, tortillas, salsa/guac/sour cream. Sizes are as follows- Chico - for 2 Mediano - for 4 Grande - for 6 Enormous - for 8 And we chose the Mixed Grill option which has cheese chile relleno sweet potato Niman Ranch carnitas Mary's free-range chicken breast all-natural hormone-free steak fajita Niman Ranch St. Louis rib wild bacon-wrapped shrimp jumbo wild garlic butter shrimp chicken jalapeño sausage So so much food but everything was delicious! Even the rice and beans. And all that for $216 to feed 6 is a great deal- we even had leftovers. Service was attentive and informative. They dont Take reservations abut again def worth the wait if there is one. Can't wait to come back!

    I decided to stop by Luna Mexican Kitchen on a whim after finishing a workout class in the same plaza, and I am so glad I did. Even though the restaurant was packed on a Saturday, the energy was fantastic and we were still well taken care of. We ordered the breakfast power protein bowl and the baja fish tacos, both of which were delicious. Also, a quick shout-out to the complimentary tortilla chips and the green salsa that came with them is absolutely addictive! What really made the experience stand out, though, was the service. Our server was so friendly and took the time to share the backstory of LUNA, explaining that it stands for Local, Unrefined, Natural, and Authentic. He was incredibly attentive throughout our meal, checking in to make sure we were having a great time. This place is a gem and I will definitely be back!

    LUNA Mexican Kitchen - The Pruneyard Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - LUNA Mexican Kitchen - The Pruneyard

    I don't drive. Can I use DoorDash?

    Yes, LUNA Mexican Kitchen at the Pruneyard offers delivery through third-party platforms like Grubhub for San Jose & Grubhub for Campbell, although direct ordering through their official site is primarily set up for pickup.

    Does their indoor bar have table seating, or just barstools?

    They do but the table seating in the bar section is part of their regular restaurant seating and you have to enter your name on the waitlist just as you would for the rest of the restaurant. If you want to go to the bar on a non reserved/ first… 

    Do they still not take reservations? Also, does your whole party have to be present to be seated? I have heard that is the case at Luna.

    No they don't take reservations just go to Luna and wait to be seated by either the waiter or waitress

    How long is wait time?

    Thank you for thinking of us! Currently the wait is approximately 45 minutes to an hour. Please note, wait times are busier than usual due to the holiday.

    Is this the former El Burro just a new Restaurant? If so, the ambiance doesn't resemble anything like the original; However, I want to know if the food is the same? Anyone?

    Yes it is. It actually has a casual Michelin star. More modern than traditional but food and drink are solid. Great outdoor seating too.

    Do they take reservations?

    They do not take reservations.

    If it rains is the outdoor patio area still open?

    Yes

    Do they have happy hour? If so, what days and times? There are several mentions of happy hour in the reviews, but no info about that on the website.

    3-5 at the bar

    Are we allowed to bring in our own cake?

    Thank you for thinking of us! You can absolutely bring a cake, however, it must be from a commercial bakery. In other words, not baked at home. We are unable to store it or bring in outside food in our kitchen due to safety precautions, but you can… 

    Do they have a breakfast buffet?

    No they do not have a breakfast buffet.

    Lard in the beans, in the tortillas, and in tacos?

    We use all-natural, hormone-free pork lard only in our heirloom refried pinto beans.

    Can one make reservations for Valentines Day?

    I think so! I love Luna Kitchen give them a call. They are so nice. Happy Valentine's Day.

    Do you use lard in the beans?

    A very good question asked, but why don't you call or email them directly? That way you will get an accurate answer. I love dining at Luna Mexican kitchen in Campbell! Have a… 

    Hello interested in taking my family of 12 for a birthday lunch. Will we be turned away for being a large group?

    Hello Destiny, thank you for thinking of us for your celebration. Our largest tables fit 10 people comfortably. We do have 1 table that can squeeze in 12, but if it is taken at the time of your arrival we will most likely have to split your group… 

    Hi do you have piña coladas?

    The only one i see is the SPICY PIÑA but no Pina coladas on the menu.

    Are the gluten free menu items Celiac-Safe (no cross-contact in your kitchen and the suppliers) or more for someone choosing a gluten free diet?

    This is a question that you should really email them directly. Bon appétit

    How long is the wait on Sunday at 12:30 for 6 people outside?

    I would anticipate at least 1-1.5hrs wait. That place gets cracking on the weekend and they don't take reservations

    How long is the wait for a party of 5 or 6 on a Friday evening? We are aiming for 6:30, so what time should I get there to put my name down?

    Make a reservation if you can! It gets insanely busy in weekend evenings. Large parties are also more difficult to seat. But if you decide to chance it... id go about an hour early!

    Hi my friends ! This is a great looking eatery. May I ask if this is the location of the former El Burro restaurant ? If so, the vibes are the best :-) Thanks and cheers !

    Yes same occasion and opened up a little more on the inside, nice atmosphere.

    How is the horchata?

    Horchata is well made - not watery like some places

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.

    Very good Mexican food in downtown Campbell…read more Had lunch with old college friends a couple of Sundays ago. The weekly farmers market was wrapping up when I got there just before 1, so the roads were blocked and traffic was a bit congested. Nevertheless, I managed to park in the multilevel city garage nearby. Walking over, I joined my two friends who had beaten me to it, and we ordered margaritas, appetizers, entrées, and churro bites, then found a table out on the patio, next to a patron with a parrot and a dog! Eventually our party grew to 8, so we had to pull over an adjoining table, which the establishment was cool with. The margarita was excellent, and I enjoyed my Birria tacos. Churros were yum! But the highlight of the afternoon was the company - it was lovely to catch up on old times with guys I hadn't seen in 3 decades! Service was good, bathrooms were adequate. Happy to return.

The only downside was this 3 taco plate was ~15 dollars, which seemed pretty steep to me. However, the chips were amazing, but a small portion. I was still hungry after my meal and wondered if I could get more chips. I thought they would say no or charge extra, since they don't give a chip bowl to the table, only chips on your plate. But when I asked, the man at the counter brought out a brown bag of chips for free! These were amazing chips as I mentioned before, so I was thrilled.

    I was in the Campbell area midweek and wanted a quick-ish lunch, so I stopped at Aqui. I hadn't…read morebeen to this location in a while. I was really pleased that they still have the thai chicken burrito, and it isn't as large as I remembered it, but it's about the right size for a lunch. I like that you can get a nice side salad with it, so I get a little extra veggies. This burrito is still as flavorful as I remember it. Everyone I interacted with was very nice, and my food came out very quickly. They have lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and this place is good for groups. Also, my burrito was only about $13 which seems like a bargain!

    It used to be if you'd go to Aqui (no "s" - it's a pet peeve when people say it wrong) on a Friday,…read moreyou were packed almost like a night club, so it was my pleasant surprise last Friday (a holiday weekend, no less) when we got there and it was only about 2/3 full. My gf says the Swirls aren't as strong as they used to be, so maybe that's why. Personally, I thought that Swirl I had was fine. Even at 2/3 full, it still has a busy / loud feel, but it's not so loud you have to yell or anything - more like no one can eavesdrop on your own conversation. The food here has always been really good. They use natural ingredients. The price was shockingly good. We got chips and salsa, 2 entrees, 2 alcoholic beverages, and a soft drink all for about $65!

    A Hondurian cafe that offers vegetarian, meat, and seafood options. My friend raved about this…read moreplace and I love supporting mom and pop restaurants so I had to try it. I tried the popular baleada, which is a home-made flour tortilla filled with a layer of mashed red beans, queso fresco, eggs and with or without meat (I got it with carne asada). The flour tortilla was just as other described - soft, buttery smooth, almost melt in your mouth goodness. The carne asada was dry and hard so I could've gone without. I bet a braised beef like barbacoa would've been perfect for this item. It also came with salsa and I selected mild which gave it a nice bright flavor. I also ordered a chicken tamale (they also offer pork) and I was surprised to find a whole chicken wing (no skin) stuffed into the tamale! I broke into it using a fork and hit something hard which turned out to be the bones. But honestly, this was one of the best tamales I've tried in a long time. Flavorful, moist, and a nice sized portion. It came wrapped in what I think was banana leaf. The service was fast on a Wednesday night and there were a handful of friendly patrons seated nearby. You could tell that they were regulars. The space was intimate with around 10-15 tables seating about 4 people each. Maya's Cafe menu has a wide assortment of dishes to choose from: serving breakfast dishes like chilaquiles, lunch items such as burritos, or soups and full on dinner plates with rice, beans, and choice of protein. There's even more selection and the whole menu is in Spanish so I'll be sure to use Google Translate next time!
