La Luna Mexican Cafe

I’m not too sure what I ate, but it sure wasn’t fajitas… just saying.

I don’t understand why it’s crowded, except it serves the downtown crowd for Mexican food without other options. The service is very sub-​par. Overworked staff– no refill on drinks, chips, salsa, and it took quite a while for food to come out, especially given its the lunch hour. Not sure why it’s closing in April, because business seems really good. The chips/​salsa and queso are pretty good, but so are many other Mexican food places. The fish tacos lacked flavor, as did the rice. For the price, not worth it. Won’t be back.

Good place to eat! Parking is sometimes a pain when roads are blocked and there are events happening downtown.

Small portions. Large price. Great service. Food average at best. It was very loud in there.

Service was poor and slow. Ran out of drinks, chips and salsa on our table. Several customers walked out, including us, due to one of the worst restaurant service. Think twice before dining here

La Luna is one of those places I’ve seen and passed by tons of times, but for some reason I always thought it was closed down. Well I was definitely wrong and had I looked on Unilocal,I would’ve known better! La Luna is actually a very large restaurant with three dining areas and for lunch on a week day, it was very busy.
The atmosphere is a very traditional Mexican theme with lots to look at on the walls. I was with a large group of ladies from work and they were very accommodating for us. We were seated almost immediately despite how full the restaurant was. Our server was awesome! She regularly checked in on us and made sure we were well taken care of.
I ordered the spinach enchilada lunch special and was happy with it. I opted for the borracho beans as opposed to the refried beans and they were very good. I also enjoyed the rice. I liked the dish, but will likely order something else next time I dine here. That being said, I would certainly return and would recommend La Luna as a great Mexican restaurant in the area. Also, I was really glad to see that their queso is complimentary which is becoming very uncommon.

I’ve always liked La Luna. I think they have some of the best flour tortillas in town. I went for lunch today, and ordered the lunch beef fajitas with a side of sour cream. They were fantastic! The beef was tender and flavorful, and the peppers and onions were carmelized perfectly. Also, the portion was HUGE. I definitely had to get a togo box. Our server was quick, especially for a full dining room during the lunch rush. Our water glasses werw never empty, and she was quick with everything we needed. I wish I had asked her name so I could compliment her in this review. Anyway, I’ve never been disappointed with a meal at La Luna.

The food was horrible and not sure what it was it had a hint of spoiled taste to me and the ingredients must not be quality. because the set up was even sub par… cheap cheese. will not be goimg back and wished I would have complained and not wasted 25.00 for nothing. Training a new waitress that was clearly not ready to solo also

well to start off, the salsa is watery and tastes like nothing more than tomatoes with some jalapeño juice, unless you feel like buying the «top shelf salsa» whatever the that means. Your waiters vanish for prolonged periods of time. The tamales are the worst tamales I’ve ever had anywhere in my life, EVER. IMHO My dinning partner had their Ocean Tacos and were very much less than impressed. They were highly seasoned in an attempt to mask second rate ingredients. Prices are high for the quality and on a good note, nice enclosed patio. And friendly if not well informed staff.

This place is a small hole in the wall that at first I didn’t expect to be really good based on the reviews I read, but this is my new favorite tex mex place in OKC now! Service was very helpful and attentive and the street tacos were all that I hoped for. Will recommend to anyone who likes Mexican food!

The only thing that kept me from walking out of this place was the happy hour. The price of the food does not reflect the environment or the food quality.

Its just okay. Its not 5 star Mexican cuisine and its not Taco Bell either. I would go again, but its not a place I would seek out unless I happened to be in the neighborhood. Parking can be a bit of a nightmare, so unless you have to eat downtown, there are other more convenient options just a short drive.

Very good food. I love going here. Staff are kind and courteous.

Great service. Good food and drinks. The only disappointment was the time limit I had on my parking spot because they were selling them for a Thunder game.

The food is pretty decent. It seems my wife and I both agree that their chicken is pretty much the greatest thing ever. I’m talking 5-​star mouth watering drool-​fest quality yum-​factor.
Sadly their chips are a bit thicker than I like, and were slightly over-​cooked. Edible, and not bad, but not as good most other chips and queso serving places.
Also sadly, while IBC rootbeer is good, it’s depressing that the ONLY root beer they carry comes in bottle form. Sad because for the same (I assume, since there is no listed price on the menu) price ($ 2) you get a single bottle of root beer instead of a bottomless cup of all the sugar-​water you want.
While it does list this (bottle only) on the menu, we hadn’t actually read the menu yet, having only just been seated. My wife asked «do you have root beer?» The server said «yes.» Both being ex-​waiters, its’ common courtesy to mention that you’re getting a single bottle, not a bottomless soda. Common courtesy considering 99% of the restaurants I’ve eaten at provides endless soda/​tea.
Anyway, the queso was good. I wasn’t a fan of the salsa, but I’m not a big salsa guy. My wife and daughter liked it well enough. The tortilla’s were soft and amazing. The tomatoes tasted ripe, the lettuce was crisp, the sour cream unspoiled, and my wife seemed to enjoy both her and my guacamole.
She had the chicken quesadila, I had the chicken taquito’s. I found my taquitos to be similarly overcooked like the chips, but still very tasty. I sampled my wife’s quesadilla’s and nearly bit her hand off it in an attempt to get another bite.
Our server was not great. Perhaps busy? I don’t know. Didn’t seem overly busy, but we did overhear some complicated «allergies and vegetarian» orders being made by the table next to us, so maybe that explains it. Anyway, our server failed to mention the root beer would be a single bottle and done, wasn’t very engaging with our ordering/​questions, didn’t bring my wife a water with her root beer, failed to bring a water for my wife when she asked for one until after we had finished off all of my water, and left my CC in the ticket-​tray so long that another server came over and collected it to take our payment for us.
Food was satisfying, but whoever was running the fryers needs to start pulling food a little faster as to not overcook things. I also hope you have a better experience with your server if you go. I do recommend it. Especially if you want some yummy chicken.

La Luna is another one of those throwback Norman-​era college restaurants. We used to visit their campus corner location regularly, albeit for swirls and other adult beverages — not necessarily the food. Alas, the Norman location is no more, but I think it’s still safe to approach the downtown OKC location in much the same way.
I tend to be fairly picky about my Mexican food, and as such — OKC has gotten quite a reputation for having just mediocre Mexican food to offer (with a few exceptions — head to SW 29^th if you want some real-​deal authentic Mexican). La Luna is not one of those exceptions, I’ve never been overly impressed by the flavors of the food, but I still enjoy myself every time we’re there. The atmosphere is fun, the location is great, the drinks are cold, and the food is alright too — I just don’t foresee it winning any James Beard awards and/​or Michelin stars anytime in the near future. But, the service is great, the food comes out extremely fast, the chips and salsa are bottomless — so as I said, there’s plenty to like about this local family owned restaurant. If you’re looking for a decent Mexican restaurant, especially for a quick and cheap lunch special, I’d certainly recommend La Luna over any of the other Mexican choices in the downtown /​Bricktown area, but then again, that’s not really saying much.
Overall Grade: B–

I was there in a large group and the place was hopping busy at 1PM on a weekday. We were served quite fas just the same. I did not like the large trough of salsa they dipped from just sitting in a corner uncovered. I suspected there was a hair in mine but it might have actually just been a thread from a pepper. The food was was better that Poblano Grill but not much. I always order chili rellenos the on my first visit to a mexican restaurant. They were probably about a 6.5 on a scale of 1 to 10. They were not as seasoned as I would have liked but it I have had worse. I suspect it would be more enjoyable in the evening. If I were in the area again I would go to Abuelo’s instead.

Came to La Luna this evening after the realization that Diego’s on 23^rd was closed for renovations. I had been to the La Luna in Norman a long time ago but never this one and I had a great dinner! Their queso is average but I loved their fresh chunky salsa. The two mixed together turned into quite the concoction!
For dinner, I ordered the «moonlite portion» of green chile enchiladas with Mexican potatoes and their vegetarian steamed beans. The moonlite portion consisted of one enchilada instead of (I’m assuming) two and it was STILL too much food! But everything was delicious and the service was incredibly friendly and attentive. This is definitely one of my new favorite places for Mexican food and I will definitely be back!

You know what? This is one of those places where I always leave asking myself, «why don’t I eat here more often?» The chips are fantastic, the queso is the perfect bit of spicy, and they’re always so nice.
We always eat dinner here before basketball games or events at whatever the large stadium is named right now. This time, we had dinner before the Batman Arena Tour. Which, on a side note, was pretty dang cool.
I’m a beef fajita guy. Sure the full order is a bit pricy, but it’ll fill two people easily. The onions are caramelized perfectly and the beef has a bit of a sweet taste to them, almost a teriyaki taste. I’m not sure of the marinade, but I’d drink the stuff if they gave me a bottle.
Order you a draft Mexican beer with the works. You know, lime and salt ALL OVER a HUGE glass, so good. I think a big beer like that makes the food taste better, or at least has me enjoying the food more. :)

Holla! I mean hola. So good. I love this little place, always have. The only thing I can tell is different about their lunch specials is they are cheaper. I can’t tell that the portions are actually smaller. Their chips and queso are some of my favorite in town, love the Mexican potatoes, and the pollo verde is outstanding. This is such a fun place to go before a Thunder game, and I love the atmosphere down here lately.
The tortillas are made from butter and happiness, and the quesadillas are outstanding. I also really love to go and split fajitas, mostly because that means I can eat more chips, queso and tortillas. Parking is plentiful for this part of town in the adjacent lot.
