When first walking in the place was gorgeous, you had the option of sitting on the rooftop or inside, and we choose inside it was beautiful! Service was good, and food came out at a good timing. I got the pick 3 tacos: chicken, carne, and pork belly and the pork belly was DELICIOUS!! The best ones i've ever tried!! Only thing i was sad about was that the soft serve was only served with alcohol, and no accommodations were able to be made sadly read more

My friend and I decided to try this place out. It's a nice spot if you enjoy Tex-Mex. They have indoor seating downstairs and an outdoor area upstairs. We sat at the bar downstairs. The restaurant was quite busy, but the bartender was attentive and provided good service throughout our visit. I ordered the shrimp fajitas, and they were tasty overall. My only complaint was the portion of shrimp compared to the vegetables. There were plenty of onions and bell peppers, but I think there were only about seven shrimp in the dish. A few more shrimp would have made it feel more balanced and worth the price. read more

Sad, because the entrees and the service (Ben) were excellent. Unfortunately, the place is a dump. We sat upstairs, next to a wall that would make a French Quarter restroom wall blush. It was disgusting. Why can't anyone wash it, or even notice how dirty it was? The margaritas were some of the worst I've ever had. The "Top Shelf" margarita was simply terrible. I've had plenty of premade margaritas from a bottle or can that were orders of magnitude better. The regular margarita was also terrible, but actually better than the "Top Shelf Margarita" that was $2 more expensive. Unbelievable. The appetizers were bland: we had the guacamole, mango/pineapple salsa, and "Cowboy Caviar" dips with chips. We also tried the queso by mistake. They were all tasteless, and required a healthy dose of lime juice and tajin to make them palatable, and even tolerable. Thank goodness the entrees were redeeming. I had the crispy fish tacos, that were very tasty, and she had the carne asada entree, that she really enjoyed, and came with loads of vegetables and sides. When we received the bill, it seemed everything we ordered had 40-80 cents added on the price listed in the menu. There was no explanation on the ticket for this up charge. Overall, whoever is cooking the entrees is doing a great job. Ben was great too. But, everyone else involved in that shitshow should be fired on the spot. We won't be back. read more

Luna Cocina distinguishes itself less through culinary ambition than through atmosphere, capturing the breezy sophistication and relaxed charm associated with Baja California dining. Its outdoor patio and second-floor balcony create an airy, inviting setting well suited for lingering evening meals, while the menu offers familiar Tex-Mex fare executed with consistency and broad appeal rather than reinvention. The standout is the house salsa, vibrant, freshly prepared, and layered with a subtle smokiness that brings an unexpected depth of flavor, serving as a small but memorable reflection of the restaurant's attention to detail. read more

Amazing ambiance and drinks! We came on a Monday, and we were sat immediately at a table upstairs on the rooftop. This was such a vibe and an amazing view! The hostess stand is outside in front, so we didn't see the inside of the restaurant, but the rooftop upstairs was so cool. There were tons of tables, a bar, and a great view. When it got dark, they brought out little lamps for each table to add to the awesome ambiance. For drinks, I got the house margarita which the waitress said already came skinny. It was so good that I got two. Chips and salsa were free and they were average. I got the chicken quesadilla, and again, just average. So were the chicken tacos... wish more meat was on these. But the service was great and she did a really good job checking on us throughout the night. I will be back for the ambiance and drinks for sure. read more

Went on a Tuesday evening. Drinks took a minute. Not sure they're short handed or if the servers & bartenders are pre-occupied with other things. Table was wobbly, we kept asking something to put under the table. Eventually the waitress gave us a towel. Food was good, nice ambiance. read more

I was feeling skeptical about this place because of the mixed reviews, but do not skip this place! We went during restaurant week and were blown away by how good everything was. The birria tacos, steak frites, and three dips were some favorites. Absolutely will be back read more

Womp womp... I was super excited for this place, but I think most of the resources were spent on design and marketing, versus the food. I got the Caesar salad and it was incredible! Although I wouldn't call it a Caesar salad. Not sure what it was but maybe change the name so it causes less confusion. For my meal I ordered the fish tacos. First of all, it didn't even come with all of the ingredients it said on the menu seems like they're trying to copy Barracudas fish tacos because it was almost the same ingredients... if only they actually put those ingredients on the tacos! (Pomegranate seeds) see photo attached... that is exactly how the tacos came (except for the bites taken obviously). Driest tacos I've ever had. I didn't eat anymore than this. I thought it would be a safe option but boy was I wrong. [I was informed by my friend that they changed the menu, so the photos of the menu here have different ingredients on the fish tacos than what was on my menu - I didn't take a photo of it... but someone else posted a photo of their "off menu fish tacos" and I think that's what it was supposed to look like] The rice was spicy and disappointing. The beans were like bland mush. Best thing I ate at this Mexican restaurant was the non Caesar, Caesar salad Why didn't I tell the server you ask? Well, no one came back until it was time to pay. Took an hour to order our food too. We were in a large group, but still... we should be able to order at least and no it wasn't busy, it was a Wednesday night so pretty chill. Margarita was good, but those are hard to mess up. Great vibes, unfortunately that's all they got lol. I think they need to hire more staff and train their staff. I won't blame the staff cause they're just college kids, but they definitely need more training. read more

This place has great vibes, good service, and is beautifully decorated inside and outside. The chips and salsa are great and so is the triple dip combo. We got queso, guac, and cowboy caviar and loved all of them. Guac tasted fresh. The enchiladas I probably wouldn't get again, but enjoyed the side of beans and rice. The chicken empanadas were pretty good too. This place is great for drinks and some appetizers! read more

Food was good, service was great and the vibe was fun! We sat upstairs at the bar and had a very nice time. Bartenders were really great!!!

I came here when it first opened and it was mid at best. Gave it another try for taco Tuesday and it wasn't bad but still not my fave. Margaritas and salsa were great read more

I loved the food it was full of flavor, had a nice presentation, and came in great portions. I wanted to try more dishes, but I felt full after just two. I tried the chicken fajitas, and the chicken was delicious and cooked perfectly. They offered me off-menu fish tacos, and they were amazing! The flautas were crunchy and absolutely delicious as well. The place is well decorated, and the staff and service are amazing! read more

This place is BEAUTIFUL, came here for a midday meal with my mother and fiancé and the outdoor seating area was immaculate; everyone came to the conclusion that this place is, "a slice of the beach in Baton Rouge."!

LOVE this new restaurant. 5/5 stars on atmosphere, service, food, & drinks. Our waitress was so nice and quick and the food was absolutely delicious.

Went for lunch in the middle of the week. The place was dead so the food came out quick. I was provided chips and salsa, and I ordered a platter with three tacos, rice, and beans. The chips and salsa were fine. While I waited for my food I did my best to tune out the aggressively white yacht rock playlist. The taco platter was very, very mid. The "crispy" fish taco was soggy. The chicken taco and carne asada taco tasted fine, but they weren't very hot and they were both mayonnaisey, like they just squirted something straight out of a Herdez bottle on them or something. The rice was your standard "Mexican rice" that's a lovely autumnal orange-brown for some reason but doesn't taste like anything. The refried beans were vegetarian, unfortunately, which means they tasted like pureed pinto beans with nothing much else happening. The plate itself was room temperature to cold, so Luna Cocina apparently isn't abiding by the age-old Mexican restaurant tradition of heating plates to keep the food hot. No bold flavors, no signature dishes, nothing exciting about it. I'm not really sure what Luna Cocina is going for here - maybe I need to try some other dishes, or maybe it's designed to be a rooftop tequila bar with an accidental restaurant attached and my expectations for good food are foolish. Unless they step up their game, I give them 4-6 months, considering Zippy's is literally a stone's throw away, Barracuda is within driving distance, and both offer better value and flavor. read more

Great new place on Perkins Road. Parking in the back under I-10. Rooftop too! All the staff were friendly and nice. read more

I swear it took ten years to complete the Luna Cocina building - so what's the scoop? Honestly, it was mostly amazing. Luna Cocina sits on busy Perkins Rd, but even during rush hour, it felt laid back, restful, not noisy at all. We sat in the rooftop area, which is adequately shady and breezy - genuinely delightful on a March evening. I started with a house margarita and it was delicious, perfectly tangy and sweet and salty. The queso which followed was genuinely the best I've EVER had - smooth, spicy, with a lovely smoky flavor that complemented the crisp, fresh-tasting chips. My husband and I split two entrees - the Pick3 Taco Plate and the Blue Crab Enchiladas. The mushroom taco was the top of the three tacos. The crispy fish taco was indeed crispy and tender, but a little too salty and it just...needed something. The barbacoa taco was good, but again, too salty. But oh, the blue crab enchiladas made up for everything. Under a creamy red sauce, they were everything enchiladas should be - soft, cheesy, bursting with flavor. Please get them. I promise you won't regret it. Both dishes were served with Spanish rice and refried beans. The beans were great, but the rice, dotted with capers and faintly smoky, was exceptional. We went to Luna Cocina quite early in the evening, so service was initially a bit spotty, but when our lovely waitress arrived, service went from medium to perfect. All in all, a lovely evening. Highly recommend. read more

The food!! The atmosphere!! The service. All was AMAZING!!! This will definitely be our new spot. They have an awesome bar upstairs that stays open once the downstairs closes. Highly recommend -- a MUST in BR read more

Awesome food and service! Environment is one of the coolest in Baton Rouge. Recommend it to anyone traveling to BR for a game.

Had high hopes for this place due to advertisement and something being new by the overpass Unfortunately our experience here was very lack luster. The food was under seasoned and just not good. Our drinks took forever; actually came after the appetizers we ordered. My food had missing ingredients and after making the server aware, it was dismissed as if it was no big deal. Weird atmosphere to say the least for such a new place. I don't wish ill on a business, but hopefully they turn things around and actually take heed to these reviews. read more

Fantastic place for fresh food and amazing drinks. Love the outdoor seating upstairs, or quiet lower level dining. The waiters were attentive and helpful with the menu. read more

Absolutely horrible service! Don't get me wrong, the server was sweet, but we didn't even get our order taken until about 45 minutes after sitting down. The food was awful, to say the least--lacking even the slightest degree of authenticity and each dish was just above room temperature... Beyond that, the ambiance was nothing special; the interior was a faulty amalgamation of tile, paper table cloths, and poor silverware and plates. Please, save yourself the 25 dollar tacos and just go to Zippy's! read more

The Breakfast Burrito sub chicken and the Cali Burrito 5 stars. Carne Asada to much cilantro. Queso was great. As for the "white yacht music" (someone else's complaint), we loved it! Food seemed a little slow for being the only table on a Saturday afternoon. This was our first try and we will be back. read more

Love the atmosphere, food was great, salsa was thick and flavorful! The upstairs bar area was fabulous!

Really enjoyed our time here! A beautiful mix of modern and pueblo-style influences, with warm lighting and a sleek rooftop that adds to the ambiance. The tuna tartare was easily the highlight of our meal! read more

Arrived without a reservation and waited an hour, which was fine. Once seated, it took 30 minutes to get appetizers, and no utensils were provided to eat them. One guest was served a Coke in the can, unlike the rest who received glasses with ice. Service was sparse, relying on other waiters to complete orders. While waiting for our orders to arrive, a clear view into the unclean kitchen showed chaos. Unfortunately, red sauce ended up on my back, likely due to the unclean furniture or the clumsy staff. While the experience was VERY disappointing, it's understandable that imperfections are being addressed as the place is new. read more

Food and service were amazing! We will definitely return. Atmosphere is relaxing and tasteful.

Consistently great food and fun every time. Such a great place to go for casual lunch or dinner out on the town with friends.

I got the carne asada tacos and they were phenomenal! We also got some tasty margaritas! The rooftop is so pretty.

Good atmosphere but food is seriously lacking. Was hoping this place would provide a much needed establishment in Baton Rouge. Unfortunately, Luna Cocina barely makes three stars. Made a reservation for four people and the table was only set for two and said they had to find two additional chairs. Found this odd, as the restaurant was half empty the entire time we were there. The food came out extremely fast which is likely why it didn't seem fresh at all. The quality of the food and taste was not very good. Couldn't give it more than three stars and that was solely based on the atmosphere and service. Hopefully they can get the food sorted and then maybe they'll last longer than every other business that's been haunted by what seems to be a cursed building. read more

Worst dinner experience I've had in 25 years of life. Made a birthday reservation for 7:45 they said we didn't have room for our table on the rooftop after requesting. We didnt get out of dinner until 10:45. server came to our table 1 time. had chips with no salsa for over an hour. They "comped" 1 round of margs, and called it a night. Will never come back, too many good Mexican around for service like this. especially for that price. read more

Garrett the bartender was very knowledgeable, attentive, and professional. Always a pleasure when he serves us

I came here this Tuesday for dinner. The margaritas were great and the food was okay. But, our server was very rude (short read headed girl, obviously her first serving job). I've been severing for 2 plus years so I hold a lot of empathy for servers and mistakes. But, this server mixed up 2 cards between a 90$ bill and a 46$ bill. She continued to try and convince us this was our fault and a refund would be difficult and time consuming on her end (it's not difficult, you swipe a managers card to refund and re enter the food to charge the cards, 2 minutes max). She was very dismissive and told us to just venmo each other. I heard this place was unprofessional but wanted to give it a try. Disappointed read more
