Very good tacos and for a reasonable price (3 tacos for $10) for a downtown restaurant. We got on a waitlist and got seated only 10 minutes after we had aimed for. The only thing to note is that it gets VERY loud in here. Not a hang around for a while and talk kind of spot. Other than that, pretty good. Comparable to Donkey. read more

One of my favorite going out places! Their shrimp taco is my favorite. The guac does have a strong lime taste, but I really enjoy it.

20 Somethings beware! I came here to celebrate taking my nursing boards exam, and I wish I would have went elsewhere. The service my girlfriend and I experienced was some of the worst we've ever had in Grand Rapids, and we go out a lot. We wasted about an hour. About 1/2 hour in we had both hosts apologize and assure us our server was coming, and finally another server brought us drinks and chips. I wouldn't sweat it if the restaurant was slammed, but that wasn't the case. We noticed every other table with middle-aged Rockford-looking people was taken care of promptly, so I have to think our experienced was based on the fact my girlfriend and I didn't look like we came from money (for the record, many of our friends are servers so we tip well). The whole experience put a damper on my celebration, and it really made my girlfriend angry/ embarrassed. I would recommend looking elsewhere if you don't want to look like a chump in front of your date read more

We first tried Luna due to receiving a gift card. We loved it. We dined indoor and the service was great! That was over a year ago.. we've returned twice for take out and they've yet to disappoint. Their family meals are bargains during these pandemic times and house made margaritas mixes to go, you really can't go wrong. Tho I personally wasn't fond of the mixes (too sour) my partner loved them. read more

Very very mediocre. The atmosphere is alright, was very loud and crowded when I went. Chips are extremely greasy and not that good. Very okay guacamole and salsa. Was so excited for their margarita flight and all three were awful. Tasted like pure alcohol and salt. Had a decent salad, though it was very spicy. Waiter didn't inform me and my friend about the automatic tip which didn't sit right with us. Acted like we still needed to tip even though he took a 20% one already. Don't recommend. read more

Great service. The food was excellent. Great lighting and open type dining area. Not bad for Mexican food in Grand Rapids Michigan.

My husband and I went here during the second week of ArtPrize and had a great experience. It was dinner time, but there were a few open tables, so we didn't have to wait. The decor was very pretty (a bit industrial, with lots of small lights and natural wood) and intimate (rather dark). We were sat at one of the tables for 2 against the brick wall, but the size was perfect - not too small like some of those smaller ones can be. The host turned out to be the owner and we ended up chatting with him a few times during dinner. I mentioned that I liked Jarritos and he said they stock every flavor that Jarritos imports to the U.S. We tried three of the rarer ones (Guava, Jamaica, and Tamarindo - all good, but Jamaica was my fave). Neither of us are into craft beers or wines, but we love cool or unique sodas! (please be the next craze, please, please) Our waiter, the busboy, the guy from the kitchen who brought our plates were all FANTASTIC. I feel like could've asked any of them about a specific detail and they would've answered in a calm, informative voice. We ordered the sampler of 8 tacos with at least one of each of the choices (I think). They make their own salsa and chips, which were delicious. I really liked that the flavors weren't super hot, just flavorful and rich. I don't like spicy food at all, but my husband loves it. This place had a good mix for both of us to enjoy. read more

Husband and I visited again for their Valentine's Day brunch. So. Tasty. The huevos rancheros were amazing and with a side of their breakfast potatoes, was such a nice breakfast. I can't remember the name of my drink since it was a special Vday menu. They definitely do not skimp on the alcohol there though. Both of us enjoyed our drinks too. Nice mix of people from couples to families with little kids. The restaurant seemed really accomidating and was also quite busy for the event. Previous reviewers think the portion size vs. price is too steep. I couldn't disagree more. This is not a chain restaurant. You won't be getting heaping portions and the location plays a part as well. I've always been full when I leave, just not miserable. That said, the prices don't bother me at all for good food. read more

Get the top shelf margarita and the three tacos- chicken (pollo) with the verde sauce is my fave read more

The food and cocktails are AMAZING!! I give it three stars because their hostess are the worst in the business. They never greet you and if you don't have a reservation or there is a wait, act like you are a burden and/or a nuisance. I've gotten into 5 star restaurants across the world easier than I have gotten in this little taco shop. This place definitely needs a hospitality check. read more

Super slow service. Food was good! Drinks were good- pricey. Worth trying once if you have lots of time to wait around.

Chips were incredible and pico was on point! $4 queso and $4 guacamole were awful. Way too much lime in guac and no taste to queso. On top of that, our waitress came over to the table one time to get a drink order and appetizers and then never came back. We came for dinner and left after the appetizer due to poor service and sub-par food. Not impressed. read more

A friend and I decided we wanted to try new place and this was well worth it. I was impressed with the very cool, minimal, industrial decor that gave it a very urban feel. The menu was impressive, I don't believe it is the same as the menu on the website though (wanted to use correct name for the dishes and drinks)? Regardless, it was very good and super reasonable. We started with the Queso dip with drunken beans and fresh homemade tortilla chips. Need I say more?? Anything with warm Chihuahua mexican cheese! In addition, we shared an order of the special of the day which was seared scallops and on delightful concoction of beans and greens. We also shared the Tostada De Camaron (had to ask the waiter for clarification on what's a Michigan Shrimp was) served on a warm tostada. This dish was AWESOME. But what sold me was the specialty drinks...It was love at first read. The Tammy Swanson I and Tammy Swanson II?? Hello! Who couldn't love a place with such a fantastic sense of humor? We tried the house margarita which was very good. But my FAVORITE was the Smokey Sunset. I had two!!!! This drink was layered and complex with Mezcal, ginger, citrus and Jamaica Tea. Might be my new favorite drink. I will definitely be back and I'm excited to try more items at Luna. The staff was friendly, knowledgable and helpful. read more

My wife and I were walking downtown and noticed a chalk said that said " Luna" and mentioned food and drinks. It looked very nice inside, so we went in. The menu was small, but sounded great. We were helped very quickly! She brought fresh-squeezed orange juice for my daughter that tasted great, and our appetizer of queso and chips was great! It came with pico and we got the guac for an extra $2. Everything good so far! I ordered the pork, lamb and fish tacos, one of each. They didn't have the lamb, so o subbed chicken. This is where I found out an important detail... This was a soft opening! Grand opening is actually tomorrow, Tuesday the 13th of October, and half their proceeds between 5:15 and 6:45 are going to the children's food pantry! My wife and I will definitely return! The tacos were excellent by the way; traditional corn tortillas and very good proteins, but with a modern twist on sauces that made this place stand out! read more

Wasn't blown away but not disappointed in Luna either. Needed a quick, Mexican meal for a birthday request :) though there was a festival going on, the space was quite empty. Service was really quick and our server was attentive, bubbly and not irritated by my multiple requests for translating menu items. The tortillas were definitely homemade and unlike any I've ever had before, those were great. The tacos and tamales both tasted like they were kidding something but again, not disappointing! 4 stars read more

Amazing drinks and food. Tacos were great- get 3. Margaritas are outta this world good!!

The food is nice, but they are very understaffed and are working the poor employees very hard. Very stressful atmosphere can't even sip my water in peace. read more

Went there with my wife and we had a wonderful time, our waitress was very kind and helpful but the food was unfortunately a disappointment, it was greasy and the presentation was lacking. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I had a horrible experience at this restaurant. HORRIBLE customer service & a horribly rude and inconsiderate manager/owner. I am embarrassed that I brought my family from out of town to this restaurant. read more

Cute little restaurant downtown the chips & salsa flight was nice but the chips were a bit greasy the salsa was yummy. I had fish tacos which were good but a bit overpriced for your portion you get a tiny scoop of rice. read more

Luna - GRAND RAPIDS - Chips & salsa flight & house margarita salsa is yummy! - Mexican Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Visiting from out of state and craving Mexican food so went here due to good reviews. It was a Friday night and reservations were highly recommended. Table was ready when we arrived and it was packed so good call on the reservation. We got chips with Queso and omg they give you SO many chips, literally a tray full and freshly fried. I ordered enchiladas with rice and that was amazing. The portions are good too. I ate one enchilada with rice and was full from that so I took the other one home. Service was great too. If I lived here I'd definitely want to come again. It's right in downtown Grand Rapids and they do not have their own parking lot so finding parking especially free parking may be difficult read more

I was able to attend a special prix fixe event and everything we ordered was delicious. Don't skip the margaritas either since they are the best in the city. If you like the chips from Hart's La Fiesta then you will be in heaven here. And they are served on a tiny cookie sheet. Nice presentation! read more

Hands-down the worst service I have received in Grand Rapids. I went to Luna for the first time last night with a small group of 3 around 8:15PM. We were told there was an hour wait. With it being "national margarita day", our group was expecting a wait and was willing to be patient. So in the meantime we gave our number and grabbed a drink next door. After an hour had passed we received a text that our table was ready. When we got back to the restaurant, the after work and dinner crowd had wrapped up and there were quite a few open tables. Once seated, another 15 minutes went by and we had yet to be waited on. A member of our group tracked down the hostess to let her know. Finally, a server came and took our drink and food order. Another 20 minutes pass and still no drinks or appetizers (3 classic margaritas, quac and queso.... Nothing too complex). Then out comes our food. I asked the staff member to notify our server that we still did not receive our drinks or appetizers. About 10 minutes after that she came back to our table with the drink order and then our appetizer shortly after. The server was not apologetic and seemed almost oblivious to what went wrong. It was getting late (10PM) and we wrapped up eating pretty quickly. Once finished, we once again had to track down our server to bring out our bill. Very disappointing overall. read more

Great carne asada tacos and margaritas. Staff is always really nice.

The perfect little spot for a dinner date! Trendy ambiance with industrial pendant lights, exposed brick and hard wood floors. Water is served in a glass bottle and plates are rustic metal saucers. My husband and I sat at a high top table near the window but it was not drafty, despite the 15 degree weather outside! We are on a budget so I was happy the tacos were 2 for only $8! I got 1 pork taco and 1 carne asada...both were phenomenal and LOADED with juicy meat. There was so much pork on mine that I gave some to my husband. These tacos were really good but like the tacos at Donkey better because they don't fall apart as easily and I like the creamy sauce drizzle Donkey uses. We also got the chips and salsa flight everyone talks about. Their chips are nice and greasy, thick and salty! There were a ton of crushed ones, though, so unfortunately we weren't able to dip the crushed ones without making a mess. The best salsas on the flight were the orange/red hot sauce (ow ow! nice n hot!), and the pico de gallo--fresh AF with the perfect amount of cilantro! I put a bunch of the leftover pico de gallo and lime juice on mt 2 tacos for extra flavor and zest because they looked a little plain (just meat with some cilantro shavings). My husband got the floutas appetizer which looked exactly like 2 taquitos with a large dollop of guacamole. He said they were super good, and the sauce it was served in sort of tasted like creamed seafood--yum! For my 2 tacos and his 2 floutas, our bill was $20. The server barely smiled but she got the job done and we didn't have to wait long for our food or tab. We didn't get drinks this time but I really want to try the pisco sour or spicy margarita next time! Can't wait to go back! read more

Excellent tacos! It's nice to have a basic simple menu but know the food is wonderful. If you're looking for authentic Hispanic food definitely give this place a try. Avoid going after 5 pm Friday-Saturday. Unless you're fine with waiting 1-2 hours for a table. They do take reservations. read more

Told it would be 15 mins just now to sit down. Ok no problem. Then 2 guys come in literally 2 mins after us and they got sat. Not sure why we didn't get sat but I would AVOID coming here if you are in Grand Rapids. Absolutely ridiculous. I get you guys are short staffed but they get sat right away? Insane. I'll make sure to spread the word about this type of service. Wow. read more

Went there for the first time tonight and was super impressed! Amazing Carne Asada and everything else. We ordered extra tacos Togo so we could have more later. read more

This place is always hopping so just have a little patience when you come here. The staff is so kind and great at exposing the menu options in detail if you need that. They are so busy hustling to attend to all there customers. The food and drinks were superb. We will be returning! read more

Casual vibe restaurant with tall stools. Happy hour is great but it is really noisy. Food is ok for Mexican.

We went in Friday night right before the rush. The staff did notify us that they could sit us immediately, however they would need us out in a hour and 15 minutes are they had reservations to accommodate. No big deal. Great modern atmosphere and overall friendly staff. Kind of pricey for the portions though. I got 3 pretty small tacos, 2 chicken and 1 steak. The tacos are very "Americanized" and just ok, but I prefer more authentic Mexican food. No complimentary chips and salsa either. Their margarita was very tasty though. Overall, there's better taco places in town. read more

Great food! Everything there taste amazing. The service was also great!! Smiling faces. read more

Luna - GRAND RAPIDS - Flight!!! - Mexican Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Thought we would have a fun time at Luna for Cinco De Mayo. Boy were we wrong. My wife went down at 5:40 to wait in line to save our spot since they were not taking reservations. We were meeting two friends to have a fun night of drinks and food, so we wanted to make certain we had a place saved. I showed up close to six and waited in line with my spouse, who again had already been waiting. She had said the Hostess told her it would be about 45 minutes to an hour and that the hostess put her name down. Not a bad wait, so we continued to wait outside. After an hour and ten minutes of waiting, my wife approached the hostess and asked how long it would be, the hostess asked for her name and She saw her name was no longer on this list next to all the other names. Which is very strange. She watched the hostess re-write her name down and went back. Already we have understood it's first come first serve, but to be pushed off the list does not make sense, especially since we never left and we stayed outside the restaurant to AGAIN make sure we had saved our spot. We continued to wait, so my wife checked again for an ETA and the hostess said "we're clearing some tables for you now so it should be soon". We continued to wait. So a third time she went to get an ETA because we were seeing groups who did not wait as long as we did get seated. The hostess says "those groups were two toppers, you have a larger group." Our group was only four, and the people being sat before us (who arrived after us) were parties of 4-6. NOT two. We were entirely within COVID guidelines, we had masks, and we thought it was first come first serve? We overheard someone say that the kitchen was backed up so people weren't being seated because other tables had not gotten their food yet. However, the restaurants priority was to-go orders. Continually we saw orders being delivered outside. So people's tables being throttled was on purpose because the manager made this decision. But did we hear this from staff? Nope! We were continuously told, "you're next! You'll be seated in a minute," The GM did not come and make anyone aware, not a single hostess told people outside what has happening. They all acted like things were business as usual, but they entirely were unaware and did not care about those outside waiting. All of a sudden, a wild manager appears. And goes directly to my wife and says "I'm the manager, can I help you with something?". Her tone was standoffish, she was clearly irritated, but she was irritated at the people she's being paid to serve. My wife responds "yeah, we're just waiting for a table." She says this kind of laughingly but also in a serious tone because the hostess seems to be jerking people around with the hopes of a table. The manager says it's first come first serve. Obviously we explain we have been waiting in line since 5:40 and it's now past 7 o clock. My wife says that's why the hostess put her name down, the manager says "we aren't putting names down, it's first come first serve". Which is funny because that's exactly what the hostess was doing. The manager says the kitchen is backed up that's why they are not seating us. The manager still being brutish and sharp says "well what do you want me to do? I'm just telling you what's happening". If you think that's the juiciest bit, hold on tight. The best part of it all was when the General Manager said to my wife "so if you want anyone to yell at, you can yell at me and not my hostess staff". Our group of 4 are entirely shocked because not once did my spouse yell at the hostess staff. We were given lip service by the hostess making us believe we were going to have a table within several minutes. The sheer audacity of this so called general manager to specifically walk up to my spouse and accuse her of yelling at the staff is entirely unmerited and the claim is entirely false. The customer experience starts with our first interactions with staff. Unfortunately we will never go back to Luna, we will never try their food, and they will never get a good review from us. #tacogate read more

Great food, great atmosphere, and great people. I've enjoyed everything I've ever had there. Make sure to get the chips and guac!

I've been hearing great things about the restaurant since they opened and finally visited and was pretty disappointed. The greeting was speedy and friendly, but they sat my party of 2 at a tiny far back corner when 80% of the restaurant was empty (and not reserved, I asked). Service was icy, underwhelming flavor of dishes without presentation. Mine listed pickled vegetables and wasn't included on my plate. Overall just not a positive dining experience, unfortunately! Maybe I caught an off day or things have changed since they opened. read more

This is not only one of my favorite mexican restaurants, but is one of my favorite restaurants in Grand Rapids. The menu offers a decent variety, but what I find appealing is that they keep it simple and offer fresh good quality food. My wife and I eat at Luna at least once a week and really enjoy ourselves every time we go. My favorites are the chicken and pork tacos, tamales, and the chicken pazole soup. I also found out they have margarita mondays now! What I think sets Luna above many other good restaurants is the staff. Rebecca and Courtney go out of the way to make each experience better than the last. read more

Love it here! Gets busy but there's never a huge wait to sit down. Drinks and food are amazingly fresh and tasty! Fun atmosphere.

I'm so excited about this addition to the Latino food options in Grand Rapids. I ordered the elote, chicken tacos, and yucca & plaintain stew. The elote and stew were favorites and definitely would order again next time. They have a nice mix of Latino foods from several different countries. The chicken tacos were brought at the same time as the stew and I couldn't stop eating the stew long enough to pay attention to the tacos. Once I was done w the stew, the tacos were a bit cold so I would stagger entrées in the future. The atmosphere is a nice mix of modern and rustic, I loved it. The bathroom sinks are amazing- trust me and go wash your hands ;) read more

We've been fans of the growing brunch scene in downtown GR the last few years and were happy to see Luna now added to the mix! We love Luna - myself especially their tacos! - and we went to their first Sunday brunch (23 September). Most of the menu and drinks were unique to brunch. My wife enjoyed her huevos rancheros and I loved my tacos (2 chorizo and a pork) that include some egg as well as meat. We added in some potatoes and had a great meal. They are open 10-2 (maybe 3?) on Sunday at the time of this review. We will be back! read more

Very very good food and atmosphere. Chips and salsa came with three different salsas which all tasted amazing! I love Mexican food and was very pleased with the service and food. Just a little pricier than I thought! read more
