    Birria pizza and quesadillas.
    Paul H.

    The food was very delicious. The birria pizza was excellent. I was worried it would be greasy and it was not. The dipping juice was perfect. We also had the chicken fajita quesadilla and it was amazing along with perfectly cooked rice and beans. We will definitely go again! The restaurant was clean and service was friendly.

    An unassuming storefront with great surprise inside!

    Elote... Mexican Street Corn

    If you are looking for true authentic Mexican food in Hattiesburg, this is the spot!...

    This little restaurant has big flavor. It is tucked in beside the gas station, so don't be deterred when you drive up. Their loco dip is the best dip I've ever had, and I love Mexican cheese and bean dips. It is so fresh and wonderful. I would happily eat a bowl of just that. I got steak and chicken tacos, and they brought us two different fresh, spicy sauces to put on them like red and green salsa verde type sauces. Both meats were flavored phenomenally, and the tacos were fresh and light. The steak taco was definitely the star though and bursting with flavor! They were out of the Elote, but they still made me some with corn not on the cob. I'm a big fan of Mexican street corn, so I was very happy to still be able to get my corn. All the dishes and sides we had tasted fresh and like they were made from scratch, rich with flavor. Just all around really great food in a cute little restaurant!! Oh, and they had great service too!! Ps. They adjusted thanks to the other reviews and served chips and salsa with our meal! So definitely check this place out if you get the chance!

    Pretty good spot to get tacos, especially on Tuesday with their $1.75 deal for tacos. These are street tacos so they are a bit smaller than your normal ones however they were still tasty.

    Truly a hidden gem. Don't be like us and almost pass it by bc it was connected to a gas station. I'm so glad we listened to the other reviews and tried it out. The food was amazing! It was also very clean and the service was perfect! The chef came by and asked how our meal was. Honestly, so delicious and you definitely need to try it.

    Comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere with delicious authentic Mexican food! My meals here bring me back to my past trips to Mexico. This is a MUST TRY place!

    We tried Luna Nueva for the first time today for lunch. It was awesome! The food is fresh and made to order. The tortilla chips and guacamole are homemade and excellent. We tried a few items and liked everything. Staff is friendly and the place is very clean. We'll be back for sure.

    Really cute Mexican restaurant located in/beside the oak grove express mart on the corner of oak grove road and weathersby rd. I got the birria and carnita tacos, guacamole and chips, and a agua de jamaica. (Hibiscus tea) Delicious food and the freshest guacamole in Hattiesburg. Kind and welcoming staff.

    Carne Asada!
    David M.

    Great food! I had the torta! Hard to find these outside of Texas, but it was great! My son got the carne asada, he enjoyed it. Probably the freshest guacamole in town, easily. Everything just needed a slight pinch of salt, but aside from that... homemade corn tortilla chips! What more can you ask for, it has a chill vibe and the staff was friendly!

    The waitress was friendly and kind but there was a little bit of a language barrier and our order…read morewas messed up and we were shorted items we ordered. She did her absolute best and was the only one waiting tables. Also the Happy Plate was $15.99!! I have never paid that for a plain happy plate, ever! We were shorted tortillas, sour cream and we got one small bowl of salsa to share and no little bowls to use for each person, just one small bowl to push around the table. The salads arrived in the small bowls you normally would have for each person to use for the salsa, now that is one tiny salad indeed. I think maybe they were short staffed. The veggies we got were not seasoned and were greasy. One person in our group order a burrito and it was not even toasted or browned, it was wrapped and thrown on the plate. I rarely give anyone a sub par review but this place.... Well I wanted to inform others especially if you are going with kids that will order multiple happy plates like our group.

The food is legit Mexican food, tamales with pork are good as an appetizer as they advertise them outside on the window. The mango aguas frescas or juice is very good and is served in a nice size mug. We had the taco plate with choice of three tacos, rice and beans. We tried the lengua, carnitas, carne asada and barbacoa. All are served on double corn tortillas with onions and cilantro. They have massive size Modelo beers and Coca Colas. They also have hangover soups on the weekend which are typical and $2 taco Tuesdays as advertised on their board. Good spot for Mexican cravings.
