Valle Luna was a good experience with family friends in town. There was large group of us and they seated us in a private type room, it was fantastic! Especially since we were visiting with family friends that we have not seen in a long time and we could hear each other. There were kiddies too with us and they had a nice kid's menu. The food was good, nothing out of this world, but good. Service was like the food, good. The parking was a pain though, not a very big lot for such a big crowded restaurant. read more

I Went to this location for the first time yesterday and I wasn't disappointed. It's definitely loud and a little cramp but not uncomfortable at all. Anyone looking for a quiet restaurant to dine in probably wouldnt like it here but seeing how busy they are makes it okay. Plus it kinda sets the atmosphere of the whole restaurant. However We sat in the cantina, it was a little small but we were able to grab a high top and had both perfect views of the t.v. Their happy hour is awesome and the best part is its all day sunday in the cantina! They have good choices and prices on cocktails and food. The taco baskets are to die for! They are amazing! And a good size! I could eat them all day! Except i only ate two because i was stuffed haha. Our server was awesome he was super attentive. Being a server I think he did a great job being busy an all. He always got us refills on our drinks, checked up on us, made sure we were happy, and we were! I definitely think I'll be back, especially on sundays and I'll bring a few friends while I'm at it! read more

I can't review the food because we didn't eat here. We came in at 10:30 and the gentleman behind the bar said "we're done you missed it we closed 5 minutes ago" he was really rude, online it said they closed at 11, I called after leaving and spoke to the manager Cora she was really nice however it was just an overall frustrating situation considering we could have been sat or ordered take out. read more

Always a great time and meal. Super sweet people who work there. Don't go there if you are trying to loose weight. You will come out as fat as a cow. This is a terrific place. From drinks, appetizers, entree, dessert... Everything is consistently delicious!! read more

Such an amazing atmosphere. Love the drinks and the waitstaff is always on point ! Joe is always upbeat and super dedicated to guest satisfaction! Can't wait until tonight, for good food, good times!! read more

Food is good and we usually get it to-go as the service is hit or miss and the dining room is pretty dingy. The best for take-out Mexican.

Went here with a friend who is from the area, I must say at first walking in I was not impressed with the service at all. There was a kid at the counter messing with the computer who did not even greet us I was under the impression he must be a server. Low and behold after 6-7 minutes he turns to seat us, he was the hostess after all. We were her for lunch the parking lot and dining room we sat in were pretty full, nothing fancy at all. I don't think anything has been updated in about 20 years or so. The waitress was no better, she gave us our waters and didn't return to take our order for a good 15 minutes. I had a shredded beef taco and a green chili tamale, again not impressed. The taco was typical the tamale was loaded with way too much melted cheese on top so all you could taste was the cheese. My friend had the steak fudido which she says is the best she has ever had. I do admit it was pretty tasty and the meat was very flavorful. Although, the overall experience is enough to ensure I won't be returning. read more

What I love about Valle Luna on Cave Creek is the ambience of the place. Very much like an extended mom and pop's place. The food has always been served hot and fresh. I've never once had a bad meal there. Service is great with the wait staff. They check and make sure everything is going okay and your glass is never empty. (which is a MAJOR thing with me) The only downside I can say about this location is when you first walk in the door, the kids in the front (hostess) does not acknowledge you when you walk in. If you've been there, you know the door is directly in front of the hostess/check out desk. If you are a margarita fan, the House Margarita is not for you. All in all, I love this location and will continue to go there. Great food for the money. read more

I am so glad we decided to try this place! We drove by many times and never thought twice about coming here. The hostesses immediately greeted us and we were sat right away. Brittany was our server and her service was excellent!! The food and margaritas were amazing! Great flavor from all of the dishes! (even for a shrimp quesadilla) lol. In my opinion, you can tell a lot about a Mexican place just by the flavor of the salsa & hot sauce (which were AMAZING). I will definitely be dining here again! read more

I have been coming to Valle Luna over 20 years and I have to say that they are my FAV Mexican restaurant in the world! I can't believe I haven't reviewed them yet! They don't always have the best service, but they are always packed because they are so good, so I can see how the waitress can get a little grumpy from being over worked and treated like crap from the people that don't understand. The mini shredded beef taco's, poyo fundito and shredded beef mexican pizza are my favorites! Their chips and salsa are the best of any other mexican restaurant! If any of you rated this not so good after just one try, I beg you to go try them again! Give them one more chance and then let me know what you think. But take my advice order the shredded chicken mexican pizza, it's to die for! read more

Moved to Phoenix from WA state in June and was looking for a good Mexican restaurant to take my daughter to while she was here for the Thanksgiving holiday. Soooo glad I found Valle Luna!! Their food is amazing and their service was excellent! Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

This is the best Mexican food we have found since moving to Paradise Valley. The service is excellent and we always have a great experience. Even when they are busy, the wait time is short. I highly recommend Valle Luna! read more

Awesome enchiladas.. yummy beanhood.. best salsa that Ive found outside of New Mexico.. Luna your a 4:-)

This is a late review: My husband and I had dinner at Valle Luna on the 9th of May, during Cinco De Mayo. It was busy even at 7:00PM however, our hostess who was very friendly and greeted us right away, found an empty booth to seat us. Our waitress came quickly and asked us what we wanted to drink: we ordered ice tea. Chips and salsa was delivered next to our table and we munched on the fresh, hot, crispy chips with fresh salsa while we perused the menu. We both decided to order a combination meal. My husband and I ordered the taco, enchilada and tostada meal #5 on the menu. We did not have to wait long before our hot meals came out from the kitchen. They were so hot the waitresses had to use hot pads to bring them out to us. Everything was delicious. The taco and tostada were crunchy and filled with ground beef for me and shredded beef for my husband. My enchilada was beef and my husband chose chicken. Overall the quality of the food is outstanding, the service is exceptional and the restaurant is clean, including the restrooms. I can tell they value their employees and it shows in their employees, whom are friendly and provide excellent customer service. I like this location as it is a convenient drive from our home. We will definitely be returning in the near future to have either lunch or dinner again. read more

This place is nostalgic for me, and it still has my favorite salsa in the entire Valley. Great menu at great prices, and it's a north Phoenix staple. read more

Trying a new neighborhood Mexican restaurant tonight. The last few visits have been disappointing. Their must be a new chef because even the salsa is different. read more

Took forever to pick up order. Made me wait 30 minutes when they told me to get here. Multiple orders were before me. Food was cold

I still love Valle Luna and usually make it there at least once a month. Their mexican pizza is HUGE and tastes amazing. And it's almost better the morning after re-heated. It may not be fancy, but they are obviously doing something right- the place is always packed, and I'm a devout fan! read more

We've been going to this location for at least 8 years or more! Love the food! Have to say Denise has been our waitress many times and every single time has been exceptional! She is the most upbeat energetic person I've ever seen there! Friendly and quick! Hope management knows how great she is! read more

Was looking forward to finding out why the parking lot is always packed. I'm still wondering. The classic Americanized Mexican restaurant. Not great, sometimes good, mostly blah. Large plates, decent value. Take your family from Iowa here, you'll be safe. So many better options if you're looking for more authentic Mexican food. read more

Went to the one on Bell about 5 years ago and it was great. Revisited this place last weekend and something happened - It wasn't good at all... Sorry Valle Luna read more

Valle Luna has always been amazing but tonight we came here for a quick bite after unpacking and my hubby had what we would probably say is the best thing on the menu! He ordered the Sonoran enchilada dinner with red pork and let me tell you it was ABSOLUTELY fantastic! We should have taken a picture of it before he devoured it, but it's a little too late! We definitely recommend it! read more

I almost don't want to write a positive review, because the place is busy enough as it is. But hell, I eat here once a week or more so I can't not say good things. The long and short of it is come into the bar area during happy hour (which runs till a very convenient 7:30pm, and ALL day on Sundays). The bar food is fantastic and outrageously cheap. I don't know what it is, but these are likely my favorite tacos ever. The drinks are super cheap and great too. $4.50 for a 16oz house margarita? $3 Dos Equis pints? Yes please. They've also got plenty of TVs in the bar so if there is a game you're after you'll likely find it. Overall, it's a great place. The only thing keeping it from 5-stars is that its always crazy busy, and finding parking is a nightmare (we live close enough so its usually easiest to just walk for us). The crowd as expected can cause some delays in service speed or even worse the ability to get a table at all. read more

Service is Top of the Line, they love their customers and the Love shows! The chefs obviously love the way they cook cause the love shows in the food. I took one bite of the chicken quesadilla and it melted in my mouth and the way they marinate the chicken OMG!!!! Flavors Busting inside your mouth!! We got so much Love for Valle Luna because they they GOT LOVE FOR US!!!! read more

See all

Fantastic food and the white death drink is fantastic. Great staff. Our waiter was wonderful and even suggested dishes we might enjoy. It was a wonderful night out with friends and the food was excellent read more

Busy night here Friday night long wait but worth it we got a waitress named Victoria.for an appetizer we asked for a cheese crisp extra cheese and crispy we got it the way I wanted for dinner I got the fajitas yum yum read more

Tina was an excellent server and replenished our beverages before our drinks were even half empty. The fajitas were very tasty but didn't have enough meat (combination of steak and shrimp). The ground beef Mexican pizza had a lot of ground beef that was cooked perfectly and a variety of cheeses as well as green and red peppers and onions. The chips and salsa were worth the price of admission. I've had the opportunity to eat here twice now (I live out of town) and can't wait to get back. read more

We ordered via DoorDash. The container of Guacamole was brown. The Shredded Beef tasted off. And delivery was way late. Thinking they are overwhelmed and in need of a better cooking staff. We've dined there and food was fine. Wondering if the old food goes to delivered orders. read more

First off, great chips. Any good Mexican restaurant needs good chips. Next up - margs. Top notch, without the sour that gives you a headache all night. Then, the entres. Oh my. I've had better, but not very often, and it's way more likely you'll find worse more places around town. We didn't waste any time recommending this place to family. Last, the bill. 100% reasonable. Hard to find that balance of good food at a good price around here, but Valle Luna does it. A+ read more

Best authentic Mexican food ever!!!!!! We love this place; our family has come here to eat since I was little and now my daughter and I come here! read more

Customer service is something this establishment can work on. I called and spoke with Tony about making reservation, he was aloof and not engaged in my call. The bothersome point was he just hung up on me and did not bother to say good bye or any type of closing...just. Hung. Up. read more

Yep, yep, I'm a fan... Love Valle Luna! Yes, the parking can be a little tight, and yes, the building is old and yes, the decor is dated... But.... Yum! Pure yum! The margarita's are quite tasty and not too strong or too week. I am addicted to the Asada Taco Dinner with the carne asada... talk about melt in your mouth delicious... perfectly carmelized carne asada in two very thin corn tortillas... simple, basic, and to die for. My boyfriend has gotten several different platters and everything has been very good. It's just good basic Mexican food... if you're looking for something fancy-- keep driving. be sure to ask for fresh tortilla chips- occasionally we've gotten some that were cooked in old oil... hence the 4 star... read more

First time....lots of atmosphere. Greeted at the door like we were familia. Immediately seated in a booth. Our sever, Dusty, was there right away and took beverage orders. Chips and salas appeared and were lite and fresh tasting. Dusty came back to check, but we needed a little more time. Upon returning, we ordered the burrito and huevos rancheros. In less than 7 minutes ou piping hot food was presented. See pic. Tasted great and with service that matched, a great discovery. Will return. read more

Valle Luna - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Great tacos and margaritas! The tacos were really good and I plan to go back and try a burrito really soon!

We've been a frequent flier at Valle Luna for 15 years. Delicious queso, beef fajitas, enchiladas, tacos, caramel cheese cake bites, guac, and margaritas. Great friendly service. Cute colorful Mexican ambiance with enough space inside the restaurant to not be too crowded. They have a nice private room with room for 8-10. Food travels well with Doordash. Love the mini tacos. They are so cute! Haven't eaten there in a while but wait wasn't too bad. They have a nice waiting area inside with benches. read more

Happy Hour special are great!! I was able to order everything I craved and was so curious about their chiken wing so I had them, wasn't dissapointed. Service was slow wish that would've been better. But hey everyone has their off day.. I will be back for another Happy hour experience Thanks Valle Luna! read more

Extremely loud. No one should have to yell to have a conversation. I ordered water no lemon it came with lemon. I ordered 3 fish tacos received 1. I don't have a speaking problem so the waiter must have had a listening problem. Had to ask for drink refills entire visit. read more

I received my birthday meal coupon during virus at end April ! Clearly aware of the governors orders . Order my meal then they tell me instead of a free meal I must pay half not the meal they sent me or the coupon . Well done why send it it and say free meal for your birthday. Stinks read more

I have been coming here for so many years maybe every 4 months or so, either with my parents that live in the area or with a group of friends that also live not too far. Yeah the place is always busy, parking is crazy, etc etc. But i feel its worth it, they have great specials all the time and the dishes I have tried are very good but not amazing. I always get the fajitas or nachos, both are tasty so that is what I stick to. Chips and salsa are good, chips are crisp and the hot salsa isn't really all that hot. For me Valle Luna is a convenient place to meet, have drinks and catch up with friend and family....get there early or at 5 for the specials. read more

Oh man... my GF brought me here... the food was great... but our waitress Denise made this place ABSOLUTELY AMAZING... the food... was awesome.... I will definitely come back.... thank you Denise... read more
