    Huevos Rancheros with Hot Sauce.
    Jim H.

    This review has 2 experiences to tell you about. First of all I have several friends who have been telling me to try Casa Luna for several years. Last Friday I had a wonderful Chicken Quesadilla with incredible guacamole dip. Very flavorful and most filling. The staff was very attentive and told me to stop by for breakfast the following Sunday (today) so I did. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. Lighting made the room warm and welcoming. I now understand why my friends rave about Casa Luna. My second review is for breakfast. Full disclosure, they are trying it out, so Sunday's only, for now. I hope they are successful with it because I ordered Huevos Rancheros, my test meal for Latin restaurants. It was incredible. The tortillas were perfect, flavor was traditional and I added a few spots of hot sauce. I will absolutely be coming back each Sunday until they decide to make it a more common offering. Whatever, your presence, dinner, lunch, breakfasts on Sunday, come to Casa Luna in Somerville. You'll make it a regular place on your list of favorite New Jersey restaurants. By the way, the coffee was excellent.

    This place does not live up to the hype! I was so ready for a nice Mexican meal and was not prepared for what was to come. The menu is so nice but the food does not correlate. The place itself was vibrant and clean. Our waiter went through the special of the day and some of the appetizers. We brought some drinks for the byob. When I think of Mexican food, I think of fresh and homemade salsas and dishes made with love and care. To me the food here did not give me that. Instead it felt like a lot of sandbagging (A lot of dishes that are premade or store bought served on the plate). The rice I felt was cold and overcooked. It's the first time at a Mexican restaurant I did not enjoy the sauce my dish came with. They described it as a butter sauce so I was imagined a velvety, glossy sauce and not an oil sauce. It was also interesting to be served thin cut chicken breasts. From my experience, the chicken at Mexican restaurants are always cut or still on the bone.

    I ordered a piece of Tres Leches from here and it was pretty good. Much better than most places I have tried but not the best I tried but comes pretty close as many other places don't even come close to this. I definitely will recommend it their Tres Leches. Great customer service too and the place is very clean.

    Burned chicken.

    This was not rectified. You can improve by not serving burned food. Is there a new owner? Maybe the food has improved.

    Very nice seating area outside and inside . Service was good . It got busy after we were seated so it took long time to get our ordered items . They serve chips and salsa with entrees order and extra for green hot sauce for chips. Quantity of good and preparation of our chili poblano was good with rice and beans on side.

    The carne asada dish is NOT flank steak. It's probably a roast beef. Could've used a topping because it didn't have the fatty texture the flank steak has - I asked for chimmichurri but it's "Argentinian". It's not Mexican but it pairs well with a carne asada dish.

    Chicken Chimichanga
    Jay B.

    My family and I frequent Casa Luna and it's our favorite Mexican restaurant nearby. Food: everything that we have is consistently good. Some of are favorites are the chicken chimichanga (packed with flavor and covered in a delicious sauce), shrimp mojo de ajo (not picture but a must have) and the buffalo wings. It might feel strange to get buffalo wings at a Mexican restaurant but they're my favorite here. Ridiculously crispy and a good size. Service: our servers have always been great. Everyone is really kind and will consistently check in. Ambiance: I have to get an update picture but they recently redid the inside and it's really nice. The space is warm and inviting with bright decor. Value: all of the dishes are reasonably priced. Definitely check out their lunch specials or taco Tuesday for a great deal!

    Suadero Taco Platter
    John R.

    The guacamole to start was good, the chips were decent, and the salsa was enjoyable. For dinner, I had a Suadero Taco Platter. Ordering it with rice and beans I was somewhat surprised with a ball of rice and beans in a small cup but on the good side that left the tacos alone. The other item of note was that these tacos were impossible to pick up. They were really a knife and fork thing and that was okay with me. The taste was the real surprise and I thought they were outstanding! This is in a part of Somerville I did not even know existed. It is not that far off the main drag but you do wonder if you are looking at the map correctly when walking to it. Speaking of walking to it... there is parking at the location part there is a total of three or four slots so that is going to be random luck. Street parking should be open with the location but this is Somerville and depending on the hour and day remember to bring your quarters!

    Are there gluten-free options?

    Nothing was specifically labeled that way, but if you stick to corn tortillas you'll probably be OK.

The restaurant was pretty empty, maybe 3-4 tables at most. We were both starving, so we ordered the vegetarian nachos right away and asked for jalapeños to make them a little spicy. It took about 20 minutes for the nachos to come, and when they finally did, they were cold. We waited for our server because we wanted to ask why they were cold, but he was nowhere to be found most of the time. When we finally asked him, he said they put the ingredients on straight from the refrigerator. At that point we were so hungry that we just started eating. We didn't have the patience to send them back and wait another half hour. After maybe 3-4 bites, we noticed something that looked like meat. We immediately stopped eating because we had specifically ordered vegetarian. Then we waited almost another 10 minutes for our server to come back. When we showed it to him, there wasn't even a simple "I'm sorry." Instead, he basically said, "If you feel it's meat, I'll change it," and told us it was tomato. It honestly didn't look or feel like tomato to us. I even pressed the piece between my fingers and it was firm. He took the nachos back and said he would replace them. We waited about another 30 minutes for the new order. When it finally came, we couldn't believe it--we again found what appeared to be meat in it. At that point we were just done. We didn't want another replacement and didn't want to argue about it. We waited another 10 minutes for our server just to ask for the check. What bothered us the most was that through this entire experience, there was no apology and no real concern about what happened. Mistakes happen, and we understand that, but when someone specifically orders vegetarian food, it needs to be taken seriously--especially after they already brought the issue to your attention once. We simply paid our bill and left hungry. What was supposed to be a nice lunch date turned into a very frustrating experience. I definitely won't be coming back.

I decided to return here for lunch on my fiancés birthday. I was disappointed to see they appeared to have removed majority of their gf tags. I decided to order a veggie fajita, and it was super tasty. They did have tortillas wrapped in foil on the side, so I gave them to my fiancé to eat instead. The food was flavorful and presented in an eye-catching way, so we both appreciated that. I am cursed when it comes to getting any frozen drinks, so naturally, no frozen margaritas for us because the machine wasn't working. We did enjoy our traditional margs and once again, loved how their presentation looked.

My chicken breast was good (everything else on the plate was bland), and my daughter's green enchiladas were ok. My husband's birria quesadilla was very good according to him and my daughter. The service was awful! The waitress handed us iPad menus and never said to order on the tablet or if she was going to come back for our order. The menu is not extensive, just fyi. You can only get taco platters with all the same taco meat, not a variety. The enchiladas are also only 1 way for all three on the plate. Whatever...I can deal with that, if the food was great. It's not. The black beans were room temp with no seasoning, the corn on the cob - no salt, no butter. The guac was also bland. We were never offered water refills and she never asked us if we wanted a drink until after our meals came. We didn't, but it was said with a huge sigh and eye-roll. As a side note, this was a grown woman waiting on us, like an abuela, not a teenager. She never came back to our table, until she saw another waitress come over and bring us boxes for leftovers - that we had to go to the bar to ask for. Oh, important point - the restaurant was not busy, so she was not in the weeds. The restaurant could be an amazing spot if the service was better and they seasoned the food. It is NOT worth the money.

We started with the guacamole and chips, followed by the nachos, where you can customize them with your choice of meat. For our entrees, we ordered the Huaraches with steak, which is a large, handmade, slightly fried tortilla topped with beans, onions, lettuce, crema, and cheese. We also got the Tacos, which come five to an order. You can choose up to two meats, but we stuck with the classic Al Pastor. The meat was so tender and flavorful, served with the traditional onion, cilantro, and lime on the side. Finally, and my personal favorite, we had the Picaditas. Like the tacos, you can choose two meats, so we went with Al Pastor and steak. Similar to the Huaraches, these are four smaller, slightly fried homemade tortillas with green and red sauce on the bottom, topped with lettuce, onion, and cheese! To wash everything down, we had the homemade Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus tea), though their Horchata is also delicious. Overall, this is one of my favorite spots; it reminds me of my childhood, and the food is just as good as what you'd find in Mexico. If you're looking for an authentic experience, this is it!
