Five out of five stars! Valle Luna has the best taco baskets and some of the best food in the Valley! We've been coming here for a long time, and we drive all the way from Scottsdale to this Cave Creek Road location just for the tacos. The restaurant is very clean, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the food is amazing. Absolutely worth the drive! read more

Food: the food is always good here one of my favorite places to eat definitely give it a 10 out of 10 they make the drinks very good here as well. Ambience : I love the decor of this place gives a very homey feeling definitely a weekly dinner night spot. Service : the reason for my one star review today was my experience that I just had. I arrived at 8:50 PM and already know what I want to order since I go in all the time. The host let us know that the kitchen will close in seven minutes for their regular menu and will switch to a smaller menu for the last hour that they're open till 10 PM. and that we would just have to order before then which is perfect cause I already know what I wanna eat. As we were being walked to our table, the larger, dark skinned busser or food runner. I'm not sure what he does asked the host if we knew that the kitchen closed in seven minutes. I butted into the conversation and just let him know that we would be quick and easy. We already know what we wanted to order. He then rolled his eyes and waddled away and just had such a terrible attitude. We decided that that wasn't the atmosphere that we wanted to have our dinner, especially with a little one with us. We let the host know that we would be leaving. Not sure when I'll be back which really sucks since this is one of my favorite places to eat. read more

I stopped by here on Friday with the fam bam and we all love Valle Luna, we were greeted when we walked in and seated within about 5 minutes. It was very quick. The ambiance in here is nice as well very clean and organized and a darker setting not so bright inside which I like ( it is also not dark either ) it was good. I love their chips and salsa it is soooooo yummy! The chips were made fresh and were nice and warm when it was dropped off to the table, they also have a spicy salsa and that one is pretty hot if you are into spicy stuff. I love just the regular salsa. It is amazing. I ordered the steak fundido with extra jalapeño cream cheese with rice and beans. YUM! Seriously love this meal. My mom got the steak and shrimp fajitas with flour tortillas and it sizzles coming to the table, SMELLS amazing and a cool experience. She also got rice and beans and they serve fixing to add to it like sour cream, avocado, cheese and lettuce. Amazing! My son got the kids burger with fries - the kids burger is pretty decent size! He loved it, no complaints there. My cousins kiddo got the kids chicken tacos with french fries - he loved it as well! Their tacos are also yummy! I love the beef one. Chicken is also pretty darn good. Other kiddo got the 2 bean and cheese kids burrito with a side of rice, she loved it as well. Then another one got the dinner combos 2 Flauta's one chicken and one beef with sautéed vegetables on the side. Our server was good and attentive, checked on us a good amount of times. I liked that! All in all, amazing yummy experience! Thank you!! read more

I ordered a Mexican pizza with Machaka and sour cream. I had no idea what I was in for, this food was sooooo good. I cannot believe I have driven by this place so many times and never stopped! Who knew some of the best Mexican food was right under my nose. The employees are super sweet and the service was awesome. The place looks cool, I will definitely be back with my friends. I am so happy I tried this place today. read more

Valle Luna is the only Mexican restaurant we go to and have for years and years. They have terrific authentic Mexican food with wonderful specials almost every day of the week. The staff is delightful. It is a large restaurant, but it doesn't feel that way. read more

We came on a Sunday around noon and the wait was about 25 minutes. It seemed to pass quickly. Once seated we were greeted by our server who promptly took our drink order. Chips and salsa arrived shortly thereafter. The salsa was very good. We ordered some guacamole which was also delicious. I ordered the steak picado and my girlfriend ordered the chili relleno. Both were excellent. read more

The facility is huge, but it's definitely aging and not for the better! But I don't go there because of the building. The wait staff are usually fabulous. They take reservations. But the food is just average. It's good, but nothing special, there are loads of similar restaurants around here. The prices are decent. And they are close by my home. Several of my friends (from back east!) Think it's wonderful so we meet up occasionally. read more

Valle Luna and their fajitas are the bomb! Never a disappointment. Their salsa is the best I've ever tasted. Normally the flavor of salsa tells me how the food will be at restaurants. I got chips right away, placed my order, ate and took remaining food in a to go in less than an hour. I've only visited the Phx locations. My sister lives close to one and I used to live close to the other. I can always count on all being good....and plenty to take home. read more

Valle Luna, direct translation Moon Valley, is an unsuspecting little Sonoran Mexican restaurant on North Cave Creek Rd. The parking lot was jammed packed when I pulled in and I hoped it wouldn't be a long wait. Upon entering we were greeted immediately and almost as soon we were being walked to our seat. I noticed the place is huge as the led us through several different rooms before seating us. The service was relatively slow but very friendly. I ordered the Baja fish tacos and my mom ordered the chimichanga. The fish tacos were so good. There is some kind of sauce on the taco and that along with the house made salsa was amazing. The chimichanga was good, nothing amazing. Margs were ok. My mom had the classic marg and it was very watered down. I had a skinny marg and it was average. The first one tasted better than the second one. Overall I thought it was good but not amazing. I'll go back for the fish taco and salsa. read more

My 2 star rating is solely based on my food experience. While visiting Phoenix, my friend brought me to one of her frequent spots for Tex-Mex. As we walked in, we were met with a packed restaurant and a packed bar area. We were happy to know that we can order drinks at the bar while we waited for our table. We didn't wait too long for our table and the waitress came over and took our order pretty quickly. My friend order the Crispy Chicken Tacos and I ordered the Carne Asada. Everything seemed to be slathered in cheese and sauce and my meat was so nasty and chewy, I couldn't even swallow it. My friend was unhappy with her meal too, so I'm hoping this was just an off day, since she comes here often. Other than that, the place is lively, and the drinks were nice and strong. Probably won't be back, and if I do, its only for their drinks and probably their chips and salsa. read more

Shade and Izzy are Amazing!!! Good food Better Bartenders!!! Truly a fun place to. Be!! Go get you some!!

Once again the divas of Valle Luna deliver on the bottom line. A must to come in and exper real customer service with Izzy & Shade; they're here every Monday. Never disappointed! Love these gals! read more

This was the third Mexican restaurant we visited while in Arizona. And we LOVED IT! The place had a Spanish-styled home feel on the inside. We made it just in time for the lunch menu and ordered the burrito and their popular dish, Fundido. Both were delicious, with a nice size portion and for a good price. The chips and salsa were good and they kept it flowing as long as you wanted. The best part was the margarita special. $1.99 12oz margaritas. They were very tasty with the right amount of alcohol. This was a fave for us. There are more than one location so please check one out. The service was great as well. Our server was very helpful and the food came out fast! read more

#MargaritaMonday! Try the six taco basket or the Mexican pizza... Tuesday nights are busy.

Okay this place is delish!!!!! I ordered a chicken burrito with the grilled chicken and it was delish. I did order black beans and sour cream and did add it to the burrito and I think that should be a menu item. Truly delish. Salsa is very good. I had to stop eating it so I ate my food. Two of the guys had the Fundido and loved it as well. My other friend had the Burrito Bowl and she said "this is so tasty huge"! Food came very quickly. The waiter was great. We hit that area every Wednesday for Church, Valle Luna will be our go to. read more

The food is consistently good and they have great margaritas. Rustic vibe and service is always fun. Gloria is a GREAT server! read more

I've keep missing the corned beef tacos on St Paddy's day but this year we made it! I honestly didn't expect much but a novelty but they were surprisingly good. They came out super quick and were so juicy. The corned beef had cheese and a cabbage slaw in a house fried crispy shell. I paired it with the melon margaritas. Can't wait for next year! read more

We arrived right before the Saturday night crowd. 1. Why would you take us with our obviously 95 year old father to the farthest room in restaurant? I understand how it works with servers but in 10 mins you had a full house. 2. Why would you change your menu and I referring specifically to your Sonoran Enchiladas so you could serve people a Masa Patty? I really think you need to have servers distinguish this. Also the first clue was when asked how they wanted their egg? and they said they have never heard of such a thing? the server should have known that the new menu was confusing. Once again a Phoenix favorite disappoints. Also I understand everyone wants to go out and eat but the place was quite busy, servers moving quickly and a 3 year old running like he was in the Kentucky Derby. I'm sure the Guests and the Staff did not appreciate, definitely no longer a romantic place. read more

Met some family here (they live local and eat here often) and it was one of the best meals of our trip from Vegas through AZ. I had the steak Fundido and it was so good. It had a jalapeno cream sauce that I'd never tried before and it was delish. The meal was huge so I had enough for breakfast the next day as well. read more

Sunday funday is a good day at Valle Luna. About 6 food specials with the taco basket being the clear best choice. Margaritas are still $6-$7. Bartender though is very repetitive. read more

It's been a while since I reviewed this place and it's still one of my favorites. We recently went here after my college graduation. My Dad was in town and also with some friends and I suggested this place. My friend called about 30 minutes ahead to let them know a party of 7 was on the way and I know they are always busy, so I expected we'd have to wait 20 minutes or so once we arrived. To my surprise, they had a small room in the back that seated 8-10 and they sat us there knowing it was a special occasion dinner (that was nice of them to do). That type of service earned them the extra star in my review. Everyone enjoyed their meals this night. The only negative part of this place is parking because it's always packed. If you have someone with you who has some challenges walking, drop them at the door first as you may end up parking down the street. read more

Aloha Hawaiians, In early December I went to this location. It was for early dinner at around 3 Here is the 411 for cheap eats for 2. At Café Luna, we are going to order fajita plate with chicken, extra meat, split plate and that will be an extra three dollars. Lumberjack portions. If you sit in the Cantina, please request to sit under the Coors light sign pm. I will be visiting a few more times to see if they are consistent. I will see you there in the new year. read more

Dropped in for a couple margs and as usual, Izzy and Shade were very welcoming! Best service ever! They have the best personalities and it seems to be such a fun working atmosphere! I will definitely be back again! The music was great as well! read more

The food was bland, the decor worn out and the service indifferent. Other than that it was awesome.

It's an old mom & pop place with to-die-for food! Best green corn tamales in the valley! Plus exceptional rice & beans... the rest of a superior Mexican restaurant. Not fancy at all. But we're all about the food. Great wait staff. We will return! read more

Valle Luna came recommended by a local. I tried to go one night to find the parking lot overflowing. I thought there's no way I could get in in a timely manner so I checked their website if I could order carry out. It seemed that was overbooked (or sold out) as well. I deferred to lunch the following day. They're known for their Fundido which is like a Chimichanga but with choice of meat and a lot of jalapeño cream cheese. I was told the chips and salsa were a must have too. I was surprised at the size of the place inside. Lots of seats. And lunch was fairly busy too, but nothing like the night before. I was seated quickly, drinks brought right away and order taken. The chips and salsa followed. The salsa was very good, and the chips were fine. They weren't quite the best I ever had but they were quite tasty. I made quick work of them too. The main meal came very fast too. The lunch special was enough for two meals and that's what I turned it into. It came with some lettuce and tomatoes, Spanish rice and refried beans. Arguably the Fundido might be the tastiest Mexican food I ever had. I had the shredded chicken it was an excellent choice. I scared down the half portion of the meal and paid. I was in and out quickly and the servers were kind and responsive. Another wonderful meal in Phoenix. I do recommend. 4.8 rounds to a well earned 5. read more

They are no longer. Great service on the front end. Very little follow up. Extremely disappointed.

The Happy hour can't be beat! The tacos are so so good! They don't skimp on the cheese either! Chill vibe too!

Great food and service for our large party. Ambiance is exceptional, even considering there were many of us all chatting at the same time. read more

I love the food here and vibe. The best Mexican restaurant I've been to. I don't know how it's not 5 starts.

Went to Valle Luna this past weekend. Haven't been in over 6 years and we were pleased that it hasn't changed a bit. The same welcoming intimate family vibe we remember from years ago. The service is always with a big smile! We don't go to this restaurant expecting fancy or "elevated" Mexican food. This is good ol' traditional Arizona Sonora Mexican food - sour cream, guac, pico, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, 4 different meats, flour or corn tortilla, There is no reinvention of the wheel here. It is standard conventional menu but GOOD. The ingredients are fresh and crisp. The plates are so well presented, so full of food, you never see the white of the plate until you really start digging in. If you eat with your eyes, this place is a feast! Everything looks and tastes yummy. We had the mini taco basket and it was absolutely phenomenal. Crunchy, fresh, juicy. Also had the chimichanga with the roasted pork, excellent! The chimi held its form (even as a leftover the next day, wow) and was full of meat. The presentation was top notch. Even the refried beans were really delicious. Also had a really nice pozole soup, and a taco salad that was 10/10. The grilled chicken was nicely season and perfectly cooked, the veggies were fresh and crisp, and the tort bowl held its crisp. We loved it! Nothing fancy, but exactly what we needed - homestyle comfort. The parking lot is always packed, the restaurant is always busy. Its also a bit of a boomer HQ, but that is because of decades of loyalty. I have friends who have a lot of 80's and 90's nostalgia for this place, and its good to know they are still going strong. Hope this place stays open another 40 years! Also, looking at these reviews - you can tell the 1-star people are crazies. Especially the ones that say they have been going for 30 years, never left a 5 star review and the one time something negative happens they flip out and write a 1-star review. LOSERS. This restaurant is a Phoenix classic. read more

We love Valley Luna. I always appreciate their consistent good and service, even on take out orders!
