    We came here on a Thursday night after driving into Pilot Mountain for the weekend. Restaurant was very clean and staff was very attentive. I ordered the veggie fajita and it was full of a variety of vegetables. It also came with refried beans and rice and I actually made two meals out of it. My husband ordered a burrito filled with chicken and beef, and he said it was filling and tasty. There is indoor and outdoor seating and conveniently located on Main Street.

    ACP MIXED

    This dish was 14.99. Very small portions. It was supposed to be a mixture of chicken, shrimp, and steak... but was mostly chicken with a sprinkle of steak and one shrimp. Cheese sauce was barely present. Not worth the money.

    I've heard decent things about this place and finally had a chance to try it. I brought my family here for dinner on a Saturday evening. We were sat quickly and waited on by Sonia. She was super friendly and always stopping by to check on us. I ordered the Fajitas El Aguacate, which is basically, the mac-daddy. It has steak, chicken, pork, chorizo, and shrimp with peppers and onions. On the side it had the typical salad, avocado, beans, rice, and tortillas. The fajitas were very good. The beans were bland and weirdly runny. Not great. The rice was average at best. They did have a red and green hot sauce and both of those were good. The red was best. Neither was spicy. My wife had the quesabirria, a fried beef quesadilla (looks like a taco) with consome. These were pretty good, but adding some of the hot sauce punched it up a notch. The kids had ACP burrito and a shrimp quesadilla. Both were pretty good. No complaints. Overall, the food was not as good as I had heard, but it still rates up there with other Mexican restaurants in the area. A bit Americanized, but still decent. The inside wasn't super traditional, which is a nice change. Everything seemed clean and well kept. They had college football on the TVs and a decent list of drinks. I'd come back, mostly to try the tacos.

    I was craving some real food today w/ a hint of Mexican so I decided to try the new place in town. I was crossing my fingers that the street tacos would be to die for and they didn't disappoint!!! I was super pleased with my to-go meal today and I will be returning very soon. Thanx for making my belly happy!

    Great mexican spot with a full bar and outdoor seating. Menu is a bit different than most mexican spots. Waitstaff is always nice.

    Luna's has legit Mexican food, and beats anything of the normal chain-type restaurants in Pilot…read moreMountain and Mount Airy. My wife and I came in for a date night, and enjoyed the homey atmosphere. This place is packed into an old house, and room is limited. But the food speaks volumes. Real, home-made beans are rare, but these are and, they taste great, Same with the rice. My wife ordered a verde grilled carnitas burrito. It has some cactus in it as well as the pork and other stuff. It was absolutely huge, and she could only eat half. It was also super tasty. I did try it and agree. I had 3 tacos: al pastor, carnita, and steak. They came with the normal onion and cilantro. The tacos were the best I've had in a while. I love the flat-top fried tortillas. We did have chips and ordered a queso with them, both were good. There was a orange/red hot sauce in a little bowl that was pretty good, but not very hot. The were some hot sauces in bottles: a green that could have been tomatillo or some mix, slightly spicy. A red, a touch spicier. Good stuff all around. As far as I can tell there were just three people running the place. The cook, who was just 5 feet from us, in a groove and doing his thing. El hefe, doing various stuff, and a woman who ran orders, took payments, etc. Surprisingly, despite how busy they were, the place ran well and there were no long waits. They have gorditas and tamales on the menu, both which tend to be delicious and not the most common. I plan to come back for sure so I can try other items.

    I was honestly shocked to see anyone give this place less than 5 stars. I've lived in North…read moreCarolina for over 40 years and this is hands-down the best Mexican food I've ever had.
