I was visiting town and has heard positive reviews about Valle Luna. When we arrived (dinner) the parking lot was loaded and we had to park on the street. Not a terrible thing but I know some people prefer to be closer. We also tried to book our reservation through yelp and when we approached the hostess stand they let us know that they don't get notified, so a little heads up if you try to get on the waitlist early. Once we got in our host was very welcoming and our server Danielle was amazing and made sure we were well looked after. The food was also amazing and we had many options to choose from. The salsa that is complimentary was not spicy which some like and some don't but it's good to put on here for those who are wondering! Overall great experience, would come again to try all the options ! read more

R.I.P to Valle Luna what a shame! This restaurant (Cave Creek Road location) has transformed into a Public Rest Stop. Found hair in my taco basket, if that wasn't bad enough. Can you believe I ordered a Hamburger and got mini bean burritos. After a terrible encounter with Daniel "the manager" at the Cave Creek Road location. The manager Daniel wanted to argue with me about my order. I've made the easy decision to never eat here again. Restaurant is dirty in appearance and the people handling the food were scratching their faces and heads in plan site. Not to mention one waiter adjusted himself in front of me as I was picking up my to go order. Some of us work too hard for our money to waste it on a place like this just gross! read more

So... we go to Valle Luna a lot. It's a bit of an addiction, honestly. I always love my food when I eat here. Valle Luna just upped their game this week by starting Fajita Thursdays. Fajitas are their special on Thursday nights and their fajitas are awesome. I also love their bravissimo burro a lot. My husband loves their pollo fundito. My mom loves their enchiladas. Every time people come to visit us we take them here for dinner. And now you know where you'll find me every Thursday night! read more

Really not a good experience at the Cave Creek location last night ... the restaurant was super dirty and smelled like a bathroom. We ordered the dip trio and the bean dip that we used to love so much at the Chandler location, literally came out as cold, plain refried beans in a cup? Chips were extremely oily and enchilada was cold in the middle almost as if it had been frozen before serving and not fully thawed. Immediately after eating, I started feeling sick. Just a very overall unclean and off putting experience. Really disappointed. read more

I've lived in the valley for over 20 years and i am ashamed I haven't eaten here sooner. This is the best Sonoran style Mexican food i think I've ever had. Nice, clean and comfortable environment. Denise was very friendly and attentive. Pozole was so flavorful. I could have just had a bowl of that for dinner! Fajitas were perfect. Packed with flavor and tasted like fresh quality ingredients. Chicken was cooked perfectly. Corn tortillas, beans and rice were delicious. Outstanding experience!! I can't wait to go back! I just wish there were more gluten-free options at Mexican restaurants. read more

We visit the Bell Road location several times a month. Today was the first time I was disappointed. I arrived at the restaurant before my friend arrived. Waiter Cody walked by and said just you.... As if one person isn't a good thing. How about asking if I was dining alone or waiting for someone. My friend showed up and Cody took his drink order, sat it down and walked away. Brought menus which we declined and said we were ready to order. Cody disappeared for a while... people were getting seated but when he came back I mentioned my margarita tasted like limeade no tequila at all. He stood there trying to convince me it was just the normal margarita. He finally agreed to bring me another one. When he sat it down he said he poured it himself. After tasting it I asked for a shot of tequila. someone must be watering down the tequila. We ordered and he made me a small mistake on my order but it was corrected by the server who brought out the food. My friend commented that Cody became nicer after he made the error on my food order. I usually tip well but today, I left a 10% tip. Food was good as usual but the attitude of Cody was not good. He's waited on me before and is usually friendly but not so much today read more

We ordered online, when we got home the order was not ours at all. We ordered spinach enchilada, chips and salsa. We got beef burritos with no chips and salsa. I called the restaurant and explained the problem. After being on hold for 8 minutes a girl came on the phone to say that I needed to deal with door dash to get our money back. We didn't even order through four dash. No apology or empathy of their mistake. I will never go back! Awful service in my book. read more

Excellent food. Great chips and salsa. I love the enchiladas. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food this place is it.

When I started this one job I had in 2010 one of my coworkers asked me if I liked Mexican food and recommended this place so I tried it and it wasn't not bad. I've ordered to go and catering a couple times over the last decade haha. Buuuuuut tonight at the cave creek location something was up bro. After a great day at the lake celebrating Veterans Day, we sat in the cantina and the hostess girl got us chips and salsa right away but it took another 10 minutes before anyone came by and the only reason someone did is cause I had to get up and ask one someone. Our food took forrreeeevvverrrr. There were three other tables that we were able to over hear saying that they had issues with the long wait. We got there just before eight and left at about 915 with the majority of our food in boxes cause we were all wiped out from the day and waiting for food didn't help. I will say our server Alex was good. Once he finally did make it to our table, drinks and chips were always full but man the kitchen or something was not on point tonight. Just a heads up for management. Y'all got a good thing going here but tonight your crew was not in sync. Probably be back tho. read more

It was good for the most part. Was able to get seated quick. Food was good. I'll definitely come back

Last week we went to Valle Luna on Monday as we always do, except instead of going to the Bell Rd location we went to the Cave Creek location. We recently moved and Cave Creek is now closer. Upon arrival the parking lot was packed but we lucked out and got a parking spot right away. I thought for sure there would be a wait but we were seated immediately. The host was fantastic and even walked my wife over when she arrived. We waited 15 minutes for our waitress to greet us. She was very frantic. I get it to an extent... it was busy. Thankfully the chip lady had already arrived and was on top of keeping our chips and salsa stocked. We went through 2 baskets before being greeted and receiving drinks. I ordered the green chili pork and my wife got a chili relleno. The pork was ok but lacked spice. In contrast the dish at the Bell Rd usually has my nose running (but it's so good). The waitress forgot to rim our margaritas with tajin. When she asked if we wanted desert she walked away before we could answer and seemed annoyed when we said what we wanted. Then didn't even say anything when she dropped our check. The service is no where near what we've come to love at Bell Rd. This week we were happy to drive and wait 40mins at the bell rd location where everything was consistent and amazing. read more

Best Mexican food ever. We bring lots of people here who come from all over and they absolutely love it too. We have always had a positive experience and have loved every meal. The funditos are our go to. read more

For potential customers: just come in and order the fajitas. Steak and shrimp. For management Bring Ava into the bar. She's rad, solid service, great with customers. Additionally, bring the pickles back. And some onion rings would be cool too. But if we can't have the onion rings, then at least get the pickles back. Cheers. read more

My family and I have been coming here for DECADES and it's always fantastic. Had to just give props to our server tonight tho - Garrett you were INCREDIBLE!! So patient & so gracious with how you took care of all EIGHT of us...and all our apps and orders were perfect! THANK YOU! You are a GEM of a human!! read more

I used to enjoy Valley Luna. Great place to go to get away from it all. Until today. Politicizing a children's menu is wrong on so many levels. I hope this changes. In regards to the food, they changed their fresh salsa to jarred. The chicken was dry with pieces of sharp cartilage. Disappointed all around. read more

Valle Luna is a go to for us. The service is always good and friendly. The food is alway predictable. We know exactly what we are going to get. Of all things, the wings are amazing. If you want a Mexican dish...get the fundido. read more

The food is okay. It's very common though, nothing special. The hostesses, (3) are not engaging, unenthusiastic. The ambiance is dated. I've takeout since my kids were in grade school. Nothing has changed. There are to I will eat in and typically the servers are friendly and courteous. Like most places, it's hit or miss read more

Well, what can I say? I have been to Valle Luna dozens of times as dine in and was almost always pleased with the food. Well, tonight we thought we'd stay in and order through Door Dash. This review is more towards the take out / delivery service. We ordered our food at 5:28 pm according to door dash with an eta of 51 minutes. Welp, at 7:01pm the dasher arrived with our now cold food. We ordered two orders of the mini chimis with cream cheese sauce. We only got three small cups for two orders. It is worth noting that we opted for no guac and double jalapeño cream cheese. We were clearly shorted on our order. I tend to think this this on the restaurant which is why I'm leaving this review for them. We will most likely eat there again as their food is usually good, but we will opt out of ordering delivery again. read more

I have been a loyal customer of Valley Luna for years. That is one of my go to places to meet my friends. I am sad to say that I no longer will be supporting them. I placed an order for pick up tonight. I ordered bean bandito burros, as I am a vegetarian. When I got home and bit into one, it was filled with meat. Ok, an honest mistake. So even though it was annoying, I understand that these things happen. When I called Valley Luna to report the mistake, the manager didn't even apologize. He just said bring them back and I will get you bean ones. When I asked for a refund because I had to drive back, he said you chose the bean bandito burros. It's one or the other. I told him it was inconvenient that I had to drive the 15 minutes back. If I would have known this, I would have just asked for a refund over the phone and had something else for dinner. He still never apologized for anything. Terrible customer service. He could care less to talk to me and quickly moved on to the next customer. I will not be going back there. Update: I just got home to eat my new bean bandito burros and I just bit into another one, and it is filled with chicken. Unbelievable! Update again: I called back and spoke to a very nice female manager who was apologetic and had great customer service. She had no problem giving me my refund. Maybe the male manager just needs to be kicked to the curb. read more

Yummy food and weekly specials and happy hour deals. Great local neighborhood restaurant and bar.

I lived here for several years and I've always enjoyed eating at this restaurant. When my family moved away we really found that we missed eating at Bella Luna. So it's no mistake that when we roll into town our smiles get a little bit larger knowing we're going to be eating her chips and salsa right here at this wonderful restaurant. Tip number one Eat a bunch of chips and salsa Tip number two Order the folded cheese crisp and have a delicious pork or Pollo put in the middle. Tip number four Go to happy hour and you won't be disappointed read more

Pros: Large portions, parking, friendly service, complimentary chips. Cons: A bit dark and dated atmosphere. Cover the basics. Came in for dinner with three other girls on a Thursday night. Two of us ordered the burrito bowl, one ordered the enchiladas and then the other fajitas. The burrito bowls were massive and there was a ton of food leftover for lunch the next day. I had the shrimp burrito bowl and it was only $13.95. Even though the restaurant was busy, our food came out quickly. They did a great job at keeping our drinks topped up. Not a huge fan of the actual interior but if you are really hungry, I highly recommend! read more

Valle Luna - Shrimp burrito bowl - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Always great food! Love to get every visit started with a cheese crisp. The Fundido is the best you will find anywhere.

Do not order from their catering menu. My daughters ordered a party tray for Father's day and it was a rip off like I've never seen before. No meat or very little in the flautas. Soggy mini chimi's. If you are the manager of this restaurant I would very much like to speak with you. They paid a lot of money for this mess and you need to make it right. My name is Ken, 602 410 8249. I'm referring to the Bell road location. read more

We really enjoyed the big quesadilla and steak salad. Would definitely come back here again

I come here all the time.... but tonight was just better than ever., Our server Luke was wonderful. He was handling the lounge and the Cave. We didn't want for a thing. So attentive and funny. Food always great! If you haven't been. You need to be here! Happy Hour Food is great and so reasonable. Shrimp enchiladas on regular menu are so delightful. Thanks Valle Luna! Keep doing what you do!! read more

My server was Gloria and she was great! She was constantly checking in on us and was so fun to talk to. She made sure we had a great experience and I'll definitely be coming back. read more

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Everything from the waitress to the food!WONDERFUL! Always recommend this place.

I've been coming here for close to 20 years. I would've given it five stars but unfortunately it seems as if they've succumb to the need to outsource chips and their "Super" beers are ounces short of their former glory. Luckily the food has not seen similar compromises... yet. Dear Valle Luna, Don't make me remove any more stars. With Love, A Long time Lunatic read more

My Favorite place in the North Valley. Lots of great memories. Typically sit at the bar. Today bar full, I sat at a small table. I will say my server Danielle was very attentive. Pleasant to look at when she wasn't playing with her long black hair while at the computer mid bar. And she forgot to bring any personality to work. I would say everyone has a bad day, but this is my second experience with her. She is not a happy working here as far as I can tell. read more

Went here to celebrate my birthday dinner. We normally go to the other location off 35th/Bell but they were closed for the weekend for remodeling. This was our first time at this location. It was very busy so super glad we could check-in on the waitlist on yelp! Made the wait very short. Our server was also from our usually location and she was great! Stayed on top of refills and super nice even though you could tell she was extremely busy. The complimentary chips and salsa are good. Chips were served hot and the chunky salsa is mild and super refreshing. The hot sauce is thin and just a hint of heat, nothing too hot. We also started with the spinach con queso which is half off during happy hour. It is incredible! For the meal I got the pollo fundido(chicken chimi with jalapeño cream cheese) with side calbacitas(grilled zucchini, peppers, and corn). Excellent veggie and no up charge if you sub both rice and beans. The entire meal was delicious and I brought half of it home which reheated nicely the next day. For my birthday the server brought a complimentary Carmel fried ice cream served in large margarita glass. It had the fried ice cream, cinnamon fried wonton chips, Carmel sauce, and 1 cream cheese Carmel egg roll. It was to die for! Best dessert I have ever had! Perfect for sharing! Overall everything was great and always have a great experience. Glad that this new location didn't disappointment. read more

The ONLY reason why this is a 5 star is because of Alexandro the server who served us in the bar area! He turned around our experience, we showed up at 6:45pm for 6 people and waited for 40 mins to just get passed over, the front hostess and host had zero idea what was going on and the fact they seated 3 parties who showed up AFTER us and after the last party of 6 went ahead of us we just helped ourselves to the bar area and Alexandro was so nice and helpful and gave us the best service. Employees like him are the reasons why we will be returning! Thank you Alexandro for your exceptional service and caring for your customers!! read more

The place was totally packed. I mean packed. It was Family Night. The service was very prompt. When we went in we were told 15-20 minute wait. We were in seated in ten. Pretty impressive The decor is rathe dated, but that adds to the family charm The chips and salsa was just okay. I thought the chips were a little greasy. A couple chips and I was done The beef tacos, considering the price point, were pretty good. The actual taco shell while a little greasy was not at all thick. The lightness of the shell outweighed the slight greasy feeling I would describe this as Spanglish Mexican Great place to take a kids sporting team read more

I dined at the Paradis Valley location tonight. After being seated and only getting water, I asked if we could pls move to another table where we could see the tv and the basketball game. After several minutes and conversations with hostess and manager, we were told that we couldn't move because there was a waitlist. I said that someone could be sat at our table when we moved. They said they would have to clean our table (what a daunting task). And our only option was to get back on the waitlist for a different table. The table we wanted to move to was empty for another 35 minutes! I spoke to a different manager after our meal and expressed how bad I thought the accommodation and customer service was. She continued to say there was a waitlist and that's why we couldn't move - this makes no sense given how long the table was open. And even if there was a wait, having to wipe a table off to accommodate a guest seems like a very small thing. The conversation ended with her telling me that maybe I shouldn't come back there. That's too bad since I go there often. But I will probably accommodate her request. read more

So we finally tried Villa Luna over some friend's recommendations . We had the breakfast burrito and the Burro de La Casa . Well it was ok .. lacked seasonings and flavor .. a bit bland in terms of the shredded beef and the green sauce . The red sauce was ok but almost equivalent to a store bought can. Keep in mind that we are from San Francisco so we have been exposed to the elite of cultural food experiences. With that said our journey continues for the best Mexican food in Phoenix.. read more

Truly the best Mexican food in the Valle I'm from California and for YEARS thought there wasn't any good Mexican food in AZ until I came here. I love their trio dip! I get the spinach con queso, the warm jalapeño cream cheese, and spicy bean dip. The carne asada fundido is a dream! I highly recommend this place. read more

Best Mexican food in town! Tip: Order a double plate if you order fajitas. That way each person had their own plate of goodies. It's only a couple of bucks more and worth it. We even split with our toddler and have plenty that way. read more
