Me and my bf googled late night bites, this restaurant came up. We have eaten here 3 times over the last two weeks! Everything is delicious! I would recommend this place for lunch and dinner. There's always a line but it goes fast. 7/5 Growing up, Me and my family would go to LA Siesta 2 times a week.. The servers, the staff and restaurant was such a staple in SC. I saw the same server here, he told me his dream was to own a business/ restaurant.. Turns out it's his restaurant BIG CONGRATS, that inspiring and his food is incredible

Love this spot for shrimp tacos!! Staff is great and there is limited seating so be mindful of that. On this day we had open seating on a week day in the evening. Food came out quickly and we devoured it. We both ordered the same thing so only one was picture. Definitely recommend the shrimp tacos and the chips and salsa was good too! We will definitely come back when in the area.

Remove the meat from the tortilla for shrimp and fish taco because I ordered it without any type of produce, and it came with cilantro.
Michaela G.

Super disappointed, my husband ordered takeout. I got a shrimp taco and a fried fish taco and ordered without any type of produce or vegetables because of the Cyclospora outbreak. Both tacos came with cilantro and did not have any cream sauce which I was wanting. I thought I could rub off cilantro and just eat fish and shrimp. I decided not to take the chance and threw it all away.

Birria fries
Kathy N.

I was staying at a hotel nearby and was craving some carne asada fries and found birria fries instead! So I doordashed some! In hindsight it sounded good but I forgot how birria is made and didn't realize it would make the fries all soggy. I appreciate the staff accommodating to my avocado allergy and removing the guac and beans (just don't like beans) for me but I wish I had known there were going to be tomatoes in them since it wasn't listed in the description, I would have requested no tomatoes too. But it was good! I just wanted some crunchy fries! My boyfriend loved his taquitos and devoured it all. Would order from this place again! Food was hot and fresh.

Carne Asada Plate Combination, 3 Chiles Toreados and coke
Natasha T.

I work literally down the street and this place has the best food and fastest way to order and pick up on DoorDash. The portion is huge, fresh and delicious and I've been ordering at least once a week sometimes even two. Every time I order something I always have to get the 3 X Chiles Toreados (Fried, Salted & Blistered Green Pepper) and coke to wash it all down. They really give a lot of meat and I'm full by eating half of the Carnitas Plate Combination or even the shrimp burrito. I've been ordering Taqueria Luna at least two or three times a week ,since I work down the street and their pickup with Doordash is super efficient for me because I can pre order a certain time before my lunch time start, and when I clocked out the food is ready. Services is amazing, and I know I can just cut the line to grab my food but I rather not be that doordash guest so I just wait in the line I'm not in the rush anyways. Keep in mind, no many what days it is, this place is pack and the seating area is limited but they do have outdoor seating, I just normally pick up my food and eat at my work place, we have a backyard patio too. I haven't got sick of eating here yet, I've been eating here almost every week since it's right there and they always have something for me. Their chilies toreadors are my favorite thing to get along with all my meals, its the perfect amount of spicy and sometimes I bring my own habenro hot sauce from hot if I really want to burn. Huge portion five big gigantic shrimp was delicious. Shrimp is not overcooked. Has that crunch ,super fresh and lovethe three jalapeño tornado with my dishes.10 out of 10 this is my second day in a row ordering from this place. Sorry I couldn't name every picture, It was a collection of all the lunch meals I have from them.

Breakfast cali burrito
Austin S.

Super solid taqueria on a cozy corner of del mar. Fun vibes, but not over the top. Burritos are great. Stuffed, and full of flavor. Wrapped in a stretchy flour tortilla fresh off the grill. Workers were solid, too. Getting orders handled with a smile. The cooks are back there running and gunning with a semi open kitchen concept. Definitely a spot to go to time and again

Vanessa C.

Great place for quick Mexican food. It's a small place with some seating inside but not much. They do have a patio outside with plenty of tables and chairs. The staff is super sweet and the food is delicious. Don't forget to wash it all down with a Mexican Coke.

Birria Quesadilla
Holli A.

I walked by this quaint establishment earlier in the morning and decided to give them a try for dinner. I called and spoke with Roxy, she took out to go order. We ordered two chicken hard shell tacos and a birria (beef) quesadilla. We wanted onion and cilantro in everything. I arrived 7 minutes later our food was ready and waiting. The tacos were perfectly crispy. My quesadilla was perfectly crispy and a nice meat to cheese ratio. The consommé was flavorful. I would definitely go back. Great service and foods

Front - can't wait I try their Cali Breakfast Burrito!

Another experience in my hunt for the best breakfast burritos in the San Clemente Tri-State area (San Clemente, Dana Point, San Juan). I tried multiple times to try Luna's BB in the previous location that used to be a KFC and Adolfo's (a YUM of the past). I never could figure out when they were open. Glad they settled on Del Mar. Ok, I made it here and it was open in their new location that used to be a sushi place. Didn't smell like fish, so that's good. I think this is a good location for them. Should stay busy. After reviewing the menu on the wall behind the counter, I decided on a Cali Breakfast Burrito. Eggs. Potatoes. Bacon. Avocado. Cheese. Sounds like the perfect combo. I grabbed a can of Diet Coke to enjoy while I weighted for the BB to be assembled and cooked. It's a small place with a couple of tables. Plan on take out if you are heading here. I was handed a bag with a very heavy breakfast burrito, a couple salsas and napkins. At home I cut that baby open and put 1/2 in the fridge for the next day. Good choice. The burrito was good looking, everything was nicely cooked and mixed well. My big disappointment was that the tortilla was not grilled. That is a pet peeve of mine and is required for a 4 or 5 star burrito. Bummer. The salsas were a green and a red that was a bit creamy or thick. The green was very watery and not much taste. The red was delicious and I wish I had more for the second half I had the following day. I can't define the taste, but it was good! All in all it was very good and top 15 in the tri state area. I'm will to again to try it out and see if they will grill my tortilla next time. Go. Eat Pretty Darn Good. HAVE FUN!!!

Cali Breakfast Burrito
Adam R.

Wow!!!! 9.5/10 Cali breakfast burrito. Super filling, tasty and delicious. Every bite had a a little bit of everything. Green and orange salsa were super good too. Would be 10/10 if the potatoes were crispy, just to add some additional texture. Would recommend.

Jamie A.

Ended our 12 hour road trip with tacos by the beach. A well deserved treat after a long day! Parking along Del Mar was easy to navigate as people are usually coming and going so spots open up rather quickly if you keep an eye out. My fiancé got the chicken quesadilla and I got the 2 taco combo with rice and beans. The carnitas and fish tacos were delicious and the rice and beans were so flavorful. My fiancé loved his order as well and we both agreed the portions were huge - we were stuffed! Excellent price and service. Happy to have this place nearby.

Salsas
Kait A.

Stop scrolling and place your order! After a long day of traveling, all I wanted was a quick dinner. I placed an order via Uber Eats for: 5 rolled tacos - shredded beef I asked for the crème and cheese on the side Requested a side of salsa Order of chips and salsa The food arrived quickly and I was so pleased to find a beautifully put together order. Rolled tacos had the Oaxaca cheese and creme on the side, as I requested. They were carefully plated and not overly messy. Crispy, not soggy at all. Great flavor. Good portion. I was so impressed that they included not one, not two, but FOUR salsas to choose from for my order. I can't tell you how many times I've paid for sides of salsa that aren't included when takeout orders come from other restaurants. Taqueria Luna included them along with my other items. This made my night !! It's such a small thing, but it was enough for me to write a yelp review. Food arrived quickly and was warm. Neatly packaged & fresh. I will 100% be ordering again. Thanks for a great end to a very, very long travel day!

Main Street itself has great energy and plenty going on, but street parking is brutal for just about every spot on the strip, so give yourself extra time to find a spot. From the outside it looks standard, but the space opens up into a great room once you step inside. The vibe is versatile. You can show up in jeans or dressed up for a nice dinner and feel completely comfortable either way. Service was on point right out of the gate, and drinks landed quickly. There are TVs around the bar area if you want to catch a game without sacrificing a proper dinner experience, but the dining room fills up fast. Lock in a reservation ahead of time, or expect to wait a good while if you try walking in during peak hours. The food menu leans crowd-pleaser over adventurous, which means almost anyone can find something comfortable to order. Here is how the dishes stacked up: Asparagus Fries: Great texture and properly crisp, but the asparagus itself lacked seasoning. The dipping sauce carried the dish. Grilled Steakhouse Salad (cooked medium rare): The steak hit the requested temp, but needed a heavier pinch of salt. The greens and bleu cheese worked well, though the potato salad component felt out of place on the plate. Maple Chipotle Meatloaf: The standout of the table. Good balance of sweetness from the maple against the smoky heat of the chipotle, making for a solid spin on traditional comfort food. Solid spot for dinner with a lively room and good table conversation. Just book ahead and plan around the parking

The dishes are creative, upscale, and very well done. It's a little on the pricey side, but the quality is there, so you don't feel too bad about it until the credit card notification shows up. The bar is one of the highlights. Great drinks and even better bartenders who actually know what they're doing. We've been here several times, and the service has always been fantastic--friendly, attentive, and consistent. If you want traditional Mexican food, there are plenty of other choices. If you want really good Mexican-inspired food, a great cocktail, and a fun night out, Asada is definitely worth a visit. Just don't expect taco-truck prices. Apparently, nice shirts cost extra.

She never asked if we wanted a refill on the empty chip bowl. 2. We ordered 2 cokes. The one and only time she came over, she refilled our cups with diet coke. Our food was given to us by a runner who asked if everything was okay so we told him about the drink mixup. About 15 mins later she comes with 2 'cokes' saying they had to change the bag. Those drinks as well tasted like diet coke. So we had nothing to drink with our meals. By the way the receipt said 2 diet cokes! 3. We also noticed that she didn't go to her other table there was two other girls eating tacos she never went to them never went to the other table only went to them after everything was done and said never asked anyone if they needed anything never asked howd everything how's it going. 4. I've been here plenty of times and I've never gotten fresh hot towels while I'm eating the dinner like she wanted us out and never felt so much like un wanted rushed out! 5. We always order dessert we love the butter cake but we didn't order one because I waited was so bad I just felt like I didn't want to stay there another minute... 6. Other servers asked if we wanted more chips unlike ours. 7. When I finally get the bill we looked at the listed items and of course it said 2 Diet Cokes when she lied and said they were regular Cokes well how did two Diet Cokes get on the bill then if she didn't put them in as two Diet Cokes!!!! 8. The final thing I will say about this place is when we go to Disneyland we drive an hour to come here we always love this place always order the same thing always get the best experience ever but today was straight up awful...

First time at this location and we had a great time!…read more We tried a few margaritas since they have such a good selection of different flavors, the watermelon marg was my favorite! Started with the Avila's Appetizer which consisted of bite size shredded beef taquitos, shredded chicken flautas, shredded beef tacos, and a quesadilla, served with a side of sour cream and guacamole. Everything was great, the chicken flautas were our favorite item on the sampler but everything was good! For my main I tried the Tampiquena, 4oz carne asada served with a cheese enchilada as well as rice and beans. It was really good, my leftovers tasted even yummier the next day!

Great little town to explore. This was our lunch spot. We had already walked for a couple hours. Avila's is a beautiful restaurant and fairly spacious. There is parking on both sides of the street among the shops on Avenida del mar. We were really thirsty and the busboy, Christian, got us 3 iced teas and chips like within 2 minutes. Super nice. Rafael was our waiter, and we ordered quickly. 1. Two taco combo platter, chicken and shredded beef. 2. Tacos and Caldo, my friend ordered with tacos. 3. Mama Avila's soup which came with chicken and lots of other things, and a tortilla. All 3 were delicious and filling. I always get a two taco combo plate since I love this meal, and to compare to other restaurants. This was great. The tacos perfect and flavorful. We will come back. Next time I will order the fajitas. I believe this is a chain with like 10 stores or so, so check to see if any are in your area. A very nice lunch with two fine lady friends as well. Thx Rafael for always checking on us and the iced teas to go.
