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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Valle Luna never misses for a chill lunch. I got the chicken quesadilla and it was hot, cheesy, and super satisfying -exactly what I wanted. Went with a friend and the vibe was relaxed, service was quick, and portions were solid. 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

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

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

We have been coming here for years. We were coming twice a week. All the food is traditional and delicious. They offer healthy choices also. We always sit at the bar. The bartender today was Katie, who is fabulous. Check them out online they have specials all the time not just taco Tuesday, but specials for seniors and I think every day something's going on. read more

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

Everything went right. Food is unbeatable. Service is grand. Prices are reasonable. Can't say enough great things about this place.

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

First time visit to this location. Have gone to the west side location often , always great! Went to this location for sister Birthday Dinner. Food was great service was good , we all had a nice evening! Margaritas we very overpriced though. Other than that I give this valley Luna a 4 star visit! Sorry Valley Luna but over $7 for one margarita ( that was only 1/2 full iOS stupid! We had a large party that would have ordered allot of drinks but due to the prices per drink we ALL stopped at that first round an 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

Went to Valle Luna on Cave Creek Road last night. I gave it two stars because my strawberry margarita was very good and our waitress was nice. My partner ordered the six small tacos and I ordered the cheese crisp. He gave me one of his tacos and there was absolutely zero flavor . Shouldn't the beef have some kind of Mexican flavor? I don't think there was even salt! My cheese crisp was just okay--by "okay", I mean totally boring. We have been there a few times in the past but never again! read more

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

Waitress was friendly and efficient. Hostess walked us through the main dining room where there were about 10 empty tables and seated us in the back room all alone. Salsa was bland, chips were greasy, enchiladas were not good, especially the chicken one. read more

Wonderful service from our server and the entire team. All of our meals were great and the margaritas too!!!!

When I used to live at Tatum in Union Hills this valley Luna, I went to often and I often left with a salsa stain on my shirt from their bottomless chips that you could get as a way to wait for your food to come and they had awesome chicken, chimichangas, and enchiladas with just regular sour cream or salsa each location is awesome. The one on Bell Road had a cranky waitress, but she was a good waitress. She never got anything wrong and would always keep our cups full and if we got drinks, we would always have some good drinks on order if we need needed more or wanted more and she would also top us off when she knew we were getting rowdy read more

A fan for many years, each location has experienced ups/downs depending on chef. Their Spinach Cheese Dip is worth trying - however, quality is inconsistent as of late. Food always above average for flavor combinations, but interior hasn't been touched in 15+ years looking tattered, worn and uninviting compared to its food. We'll return but much less frequently until they overhaul worn seats and borderline disgusting carpet. read more

We are usually Manuel diners due to the proximity of it to the schools, but my son commented on how full the parking lot is all the time at Valle Luna, so I mentioned it to Mom and she said we should try. I was surprised because she DOES NOT like Mexican food....but she loved this place. She commented on how the chips were light and crisp, not over salted or greasy at all. This is a big stickler with her when it comes to dining out anywhere. She liked the big chunks of tomatoes and other ingredients in the salsa. We started with a couple of frozen house margs and they came in nice "beer" mugs and were quite tasty. They will probably go down too easy if we go to watch a baseball or football game in the bar area (fair warning). We started with the spinach queso dip and it was really good and it has a hint of spice at the end. One of my sons who puts chili pepper flakes in his mac and cheese said he doesnt think it did. I had the house specialty and it was great. They melt the cheese over the sour cream. Nice touch. My wife had the fajitas and she loved them. My boys had a burrito and the chimichanga and they ate all of it. The service was prompt and Garrett was super friendly. We were seated quickly and the restaurant was clean and tidy. Great experience all around and we recommend it greatly. read more
