If you've been searching for real Mexican/New Mexican food in North Alabama, stop scrolling--this…read moreis the spot. After relocating from New Mexico two years ago, we've tried place after place hoping to find something that actually hits the mark... and Taqueria Luna is finally it. Every single bite was on point. Not just the main dishes--the rice and beans were legit, which says a lot. The birria tacos were rich and flavorful with that perfect savory depth, and the asada quesadilla was packed with well-seasoned meat and cooked exactly right. And the mulitas? Honestly, they reminded me so much of pupusas--thick, satisfying, and just ridiculously good. And the consommé... omg. That alone is worth going back for. Rich, deeply seasoned, and perfect for dipping--exactly how it should be. If you've been missing that true Southwest flavor, this is where you go.

Food is great. I've been twice so far. The steak tacos are my favorite. I also got the queso and…read morechips and will be getting it again! The service is nice and quick if they aren't busy. Can't wait to come back.

Definitely a hidden gem!…read more My husband was out of town last week and so I decided I'd go somewhere I'd wanted to try that was out of the way to treat myself and help pass the time without him. I reviewed my bookmarks and settled on Barrio! This restaurant is located near the ever-popular Valentina's pizza -- I believe it shares a building with the first location of the pizza place before they moved a little up the road. Otherwise, it's sort of "out there" -- though I'd argue it's very much worth a special trip. The parking lot is a little small but it's also a fairly intimate restaurant so you won't be fighting insane crowds anyway. It felt clean and modern inside and the restaurant boasts a nice long bar. I was offered my choice of seat; I took a booth since they weren't super busy (it was a Tuesday evening). My server was Cameron. He was very sweet and worked hard at being attentive and helpful. My food came out promptly with each order and was prepared as I'd requested. No complaints there! The menu here is more authentic and more upscale than many Texmex options in the area. This makes me happy because I prefer Mexican cuisine served this way. I felt a little bad for the servers, though, as they had to field several questions from parties about matters of cheese dip, what mole is, etc. They cheerfully and patiently provided great education, but I hope in writing this I can save them some trouble in the future, lol. You should absolutely give Barrio a try, but Little Rosie's it is not (nor should it be)! Anyway, rant over...Cameron brought out some chips and both salsa rojo and verde. This was maybe the only thing I didn't particularly care for all night. Neither salsa had a ton of flavor or heat to my palate, and the chips were fried a little heavily/dark for me. I was concerned after this but I shouldn't have been because my entree and dessert were both delightful. I ordered the enchiladas suizas, which comes with rice and beans. The rice was fluffy and light. The beans were a beautiful dark black color and subtly smoky, nice and smooth but not too much so. And my enchiladas... Okay, a thing about me is that I always think I'll love enchiladas (who doesn't love a soft and creamy, cheesy, warm meal?) but EVERY TIME I order them they disappoint me. I've FINALLY found a place where they were all I'd hoped they'd be. The chicken inside was tender and succulent but not mushy; the tomatillo sauce was bright and flavorful; the cheese added the perfect amount of gooeyness...really, really good. Thoroughly redeemed, I also placed an order for churros. I requested they be packaged to go as I was sure I wouldn't eat them all in one sitting. Cameron obliged and brought out the dessert in two separate containers (one for churros, one for ice cream). I appreciated his thoughtfulness, though I wound up eating the ice cream and some churros there because I didn't want it to melt. The ice cream was delectable -- honestly, it tasted like homemade vanilla to me but whatever they use, it's awesome -- and the warm, cinnamon-covered and caramelly churros were the perfect companion. I ate three there and took three home for later. So good! This restaurant has many offerings I've rarely seen throughout Huntsville (read: especially chicken mole -- hard to find!). They seem to really care about the food and execute it on a high level. Please give them a try when you get a chance. I'll definitely return in the future.

Our waiter Eldwin was super friendly and attentive and the executive chef was just as welcoming. Everything about the experience was outstanding. Highly recommended.

They were doing a good business at 2:30 this afternoon with about a half dozen people and one of the guys ordered five burritoes.
