This place is amazing on food and mediocre on service. I've eaten at Luna Maya a few times and each time it's a hit or miss with the quality of service. The food however, is phenomenal! It's also almost always packed inside and outside; however, they did manage to get us a table within 5-10mins upon arrival each time. If you do have to wait longer, they do have a pretty good bar. Apparently, Luna Maya is Bolivian, and since I have no idea what that culture is like or their food, I always assumed this place was just a fancy Mexican spot. So I stand corrected. Their food is amazingly geared to the vegan/vegetarians of the world. THANK YOU :) I love love love their Campesino with the cilantro-lime potatoes! Seriously, try it! I'm salivating just thinking about it. Their guacamole and chips for starters is also one of my favorite. Fair warning though, even if you think you can handle spices, make sure you try their mild because they can be really SPICY. Not that Thai spicy, but definitely a burn in your mouth after you take a spoonful of food. This is coming from someone that thinks wasabi is nothing and that hot sauce should be mandatory on all meals. As far as drinks goes, they do have a nice assortment. They can always make almost anything you want with a full bar. Their mojitos are awesome. Try the Mango Mojito. Come hungry, but rest assured that your tummy will be leaving uber happy! read more

My co-workers raaaave about this place back when our old office was within walking distance (unfortunately, before my time.) apparently they used to shut the place down, especially on trivia night. Well after all the stories about the drinks, the food, and the service I was so bummed that it took me years to check this place out. I passed by it ALL THE TIME when I was in college! My friends call it "grown and sexy." I guess I can agree. It was a hip experience and the decor met that standard like a glove. Everyone that worked there had an edge to them, too. Our server looked like robin thicke! The most memorable thing about this place was the drink menu. When I find a place that serves caipirinhas, I always order it. WOW! Their caipirinha took me back to my vacays in Costa Rica and the bahamas. I thought my co-workers and I weren't 'taste buds' but this place is a game changer. Moving on from the drinks...the food was good, too! My bf ordered enchiladas "to share" and what surprised us was that when our food came out everything was evenly split on two plates. Another win. No complaints about our entrees, either. Our friends ordered flan for dessert. Did I mention I never save room dessert? I guess it's clear I was searching for a flaw in my experience. This place deserves the 5 stars. Coming back soon! Anyone visiting I would totally recommend this place. read more

Luna Maya is definitely a place to check out. They have an outdoor patio area that is pretty busy, but perfect on a nice evening. Inside the restaurant they have nice curtains that you walk through giving a different type of feel. They have tables inside and a bar section. I love the addition of the candles that they have lit on each table. The staff is friendly and the food is great! I order an appetizer which was the cilantro like chicken quesadilla's with a side of rice. The chips and queso were good although they don't offer them complimentary. The drink I ordered was okay I ordered a pomegranate margarita on the rocks which was $9. Although they're a little pricey the food is quality and the service is good. I'd say to check out Luna Maya! read more

Luna Maya - Pomegranate margarita & cilantro lime chicken quesadilla appetizer. - Mexican Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

Luna Maya is one of my top 5 favorite restaurants in Hampton Roads. Maybe even top 3. There is one thing on the menu that keeps me coming back: the FLAN. So heavenly, so creamy. It literally melts in my mouth. I've never had flan with such perfect consistency. The tres leches is pretty darn delish as well. Second favorite thing about Luna Maya: the cocktails. Their drinks are so strong, I always find myself buzzed or nearly drunk, and having the best time ever. I recommend ordering the caipiroska if you're not into fruity drinks, but the margaritas and mojitos are also good too. Third favorite thing: sweet yellow corn tamales with shredded beef. My friends are fans of their tacos more than I am. This is one of those places that will make you feel like you're in a big city. Everything from the building/interior to the staff is so trendy. It's a great restaurant for a romantic dinner or even a casual dinner with friends. The bar area gets packed on a Friday or Saturday night, so you will most likely have to wait. The only negative thing I can say about Luna Maya is that they close at 10pm. Why? Please extend your hours on the weekends! read more

I enjoyed my first meal at Luna Maya several years ago when it opened at a small shopping center in Virginia Beach. It was when they moved to the Colonial Avenue location in Ghent when I became a regular customer. During a five year hiatus from the local dining scene, they moved to their current and much larger Ghent location. I returned to this restaurant a few days ago and sat at the bar, where I immediately ordered a Margatini. This is one of my all time favorite cocktails and I just love to taste the chipotle chile salt around the rim. Having an urge for chips, I ordered their Chips and Salsa for my appetizer. The chips themselves were very ordinary. However, the homemade chipotle salsa which accompanied them was bursting with texture and flavor. My entrée was one of their Bolivian specialties, the Pique A Lo Macho with the steak meat, prepared extra spicy. The flavors of the meat and the spicy potatoes blended together very nicely. One minor nit is that the steak meat was not quite as rare as I would have liked. One thing that concerns me a bit is the volume of business they are now doing since they moved to their current location. They were packed during my visit, which appeared to have the effect of stretching the capacities of their wait staff. As a single diner, this is why I always eat at the bar. I always receive faster service this way. In retrospect, I believe I did receive a little more individual attention and faster service at their previous location on Colonial Avenue, made possible by a smaller volume of business which did not overwhelm them. One thing I would like to see are a few "chef's specials" every now and then, my dream dish being a crispy whole fish entrée. Several years ago, there was a Mexican/South American restaurant in downtown Norfolk which offered a crispy whole red snapper one evening. It came standing fully erect on my plate and was slathered with a delicious sauce blend of black beans and chiles. It was incredible. Unfortunately, this restaurant has since closed. In any event, I now consider myself a regular at Luna Maya once again. In future visits, I plan to try many of their other offerings, including their Salmon Divorciado and their Chorizo Burrito, the latter of which was my favorite "go to" dish back at their Colonial Avenue location. I am also going to try their flan, which I think would go well with a cocktail such as a Mile High Manhattan. read more

I'm going to make it simple and neat. I thought the entire place was amazing. The decor was quite interesting. I feel like it used to be an old warehouse and was renovated. I love the idea of keeping the old bricks and incorporating them into the rest of the interior. I thought the open seating was a brilliant idea. What really amazed me, no matter how busy they are everything was neat and organized. Let's talk about the food. By far the best Mexican food I've ever tasted. The tamales Maya Luna was perfectly seasoned, the shredded beef alone was dynamite. I haven't been hungry because I was little sick but the appetizer brought back my appetite. The stuffed poblanos peppers was definitely the highlight of my visit. It was incredibly delicious and flavorful. I like the combination of sweet and sour and the rice and chorizo was just complete my day. The entire meal was sensational. I've visited a lot places and saw busy scenarios however this place rocks. I've noticed that no matter how busy the entire restaurant the staffs are polite and accommodating. Hands down, one of the best customer service I've ever received. I can't wait to come back. read more

I love Latin cuisine and have been always wanting to try Luna Maya after seeing it was billed as a Bolivian restaurants in this area saturated by "Mexican" restaurants (which, by the way, are mostly Central American-run and the more authentic dishes lean more to Central American flavors/preparation). It seems the newer additions to LM are more Bolivian as the old menu didn't really reflect Bolivian food (as stated by my sister's Bolivian co-worker). With that being said and what I've constantly said about this area, most ethnic restaurants are a bit dumbed down for the American palette...which is sad since there seems to be a good population here that would appreciate more authentic cuisine/tastes. After reading the reviews ordering the tamales & burrito colorado were no-brainers for me & the Hubs. The kids each ordered the cheese enchilada...which proved to still be a bit spicy for our kids' sensitive spice palates. We started off with chips. guac, & salsa...pretty good but nothing to write home about. I'm all about homemade tortilla chips that should still be hot & shiny from the fryer and paper-thin...one day I'll find an establishment down here that does it. The guacamole was good but not great. The salsa was nice & spicy, the way the adults in this fam like it. My tamales were ok. Way too sweet for my taste. If the sugar had been toned down, waaaaay down...it would've been fantastic. Still, it definitely had potential. My mom's family grew up in Honduras and have been making tamales forever, so I know every Latin country has their own way of preparing tamales...so it's hard for me to know if these were intended to be sugary sweet or not. Still that sugar level was cavity-inducing and only tempered by the savory beef. I've had pastel de choclo (homemade by a Latina) that was the perfect mix of sweet and savory...something that this tamale was not. Ok, I'm going to lay off the issue now. The burrito colorado was good but the Hubs agreed this wasn't something that was so fabulous he'd return for. The restaurant is really nice...but loud. Definitely more of a fun place to meet friends who like to have a good time than say an intimate dining experience. I agree with Susan F.'s observation of the teeny tiny water glasses! Bottom line, Americanized Latino food that still offers a change in Latino cuisine in HR but you'll be paying more for ambience than anything. read more

Great vegetarian/vegan selection. My husband and I ordered Spicy Guacamole for appetizer, which was disappointment to this spicy food lover. It just had a dash of chili powder on top of regular Guacamole and was not spicy at all. I ordered Habanero Shrimp Tacos, and it was not that spicy either. It was very salty, though. We dined inside (not patio area), and the noise level was ridiculous... Overall, the food was ok, and the atmosphere reminded me of college diner type of place. read more

Kristi was very helpful, we got the famous temales and the chorizo queso, spicy guaca, Quesadilla , shrimp tacos and they were GREAT! Only disappointment though was the Sangria, which the group came to a common sense of it being weaker than last time, so This is something that did not meet our expectations. We are definitely coming back but we surely hope that the staff would fix it. read more

Ordered the queso and margaritas. The chips that came with the queso looked and tasted like a bag of Tostitos that you would get at the grocery store. The queso was okay but definitely not any better than the other Mexican restaurants in the area that are about 1/2 the cost. The appetizer was so awful that we didn't stick around to try the dinner selections, so I can't speak for those. Queso/chips definitely not worth the $9 price tag. read more

Luna Maya - Mexican Near Me - Norfolk, Virginia

These guys have a lot of work to do...I'm wondering if I visited the same restaurant as some of the people that gave them such a stellar review. We went on a Saturday night while we were in town visiting some friends that had just moved to Chesapeake (none of us had been here before). I'm a Mexican food junkie...more specifically; I'm a tamale junkie. I don't care where you go, if someone is selling tamales they are great. What's not to love about corn, lard, and pork wrapped in a husk...I was excited for the love of my culinary life. We arrived at 9:00pm and the restaurant was empty (again it was a Saturday night). We sat at the bar and ordered drinks...not what we wanted because they had informed us several kegs kicked earlier. Okay, no problem, we know the business and things happen. We then asked for menus because we wanted a few appetizers. We were promptly told that...we close at 10 so you need to order quickly. Let me expand on the issue of coming into a restaurant and ordering right before closing. First, from a consumers point of view, if your hours are posted that you're open...consumers should be able to order what they want up to that time. On the flip side, from my 20 years in restaurants I fully understand that the staff is doing what they need to so that they are not working three hours after close to get ready to open the next day again. It's frustrating when someone comes in fifteen minutes to close and tries to course out their meal...however, it's what happens. So again, we came in at 9:00pm and were told they close at 10:00pm...that's an hour before the posted closing time; if you can't pull it together then, whether bartender or kitchen, you should probably look for a new career. We ordered the tamale side, queso and taquitos at about 9:08pm...plenty of time for them to heat the tamale (which cannot be made to order), warm the queso (which again is a batch item made before hand) and fry the taquitos. When the food arrived I saw the tamale...not what I expected. There was no husk in site and a layer of slop on top of what appeared to be creamed corn...what in the world?! I took a bite and have no clue (still to this day a week later) what it was...the pork was flavorless and the corn mixture was bland and cold. As mentioned before, tamales are a mixture of masa and lard with pork (typically) put in the middle and then wrapped in a corn husk and steamed. This variation of a simple but classic Mexican dish should embarrass the owners and preclude them from even claiming to be a Latin restaurant. The queso actually was good but the chips were stale and had a burnt flavor. The taquitos were also burnt but could probably be a decent app if the staff could cook them without bursting out the filling which will burn. Aside from the food the bartender kept making comments to other employees..."you need to tell them that this is last call" (at 9:45pm). When we asked: "do you always close at 10:00pm on Saturday's", we received the curt response: "yes, we've done it for 20 years and will continue to do it...it's a tradition". So, if you're in Norfolk and want some Mexican...go to the local grocery store and pickup some frozen food to microwave, you'll have a better experience. Maybe the reason they close so early on a Saturday night (when the other restaurants/bars down the street were busy) is because of the food and surprisingly careless service. read more

I visited here for the first time on a Wednesday night and my group of 3 were sat immediately. The have a huge vegetarian menu and anything no on that entree listed that is considered vegeterian or vegan is clearly marked with a v or v v so it was extremely helpful. I ended up ordering the cilantro lime potatoes and cole slaw. The portions were large. The potatoes were great, something that Ive never tasted before. The cole slaw was so so I had to had lime to make it a little more tart since it is tossed with a vinagrette of some kind. The waiter was very knowledgable of the menu. Our food came out quickly and was very hot. I was warned beforehand by a one of the people in my group that it gets loud but I didnt even notice. Great restaraunt, and I will definitely be back! read more

Exactly what I needed! "Stuck" in Norfolk while a family member has surgery, I was looking for some veggies and a cocktail - this place fit the bill! Yummy skinny margarita - tart and a bit sweet with a nice punch - no bitterness. I'll walk next time so I can hVe 2! I asked the waitress for something with poblanos - adore poblanos!- and she recommended the veggie tacos - genius! Super sautéed poblanos and mushrooms plus all the fixins - the house made slaw was a crunchy and fresh counterpoint to the savory, rich veggies. Perfect on warm,soft corn tortillas. The service was sooo fast - I ate at the bar - that I finished backwards. I ordered chips and their chipotle salsa. The chips were ok - not my fave fresh out of the fryer thin and crispy - more like out of the bag. But the salsa was awesome - just enough smoke and heat - chunky and wonderful. Next time I'm trying the stuffed poblanos with shrimp. Oh - and the atmosphere was great - nice groove in the background, beautiful lighting. Super nice staff. Yelpers rule - never woulda found this place without you! read more

This place gets pretty busy in the evening but I managed to have a seat out on the patio with a buddy. I ordered the Margatini and their mushroom quesadilla (which was delicious!). My food came out pretty fast, but my buddies came out so late that we had to get it to-go and he ate it while walking down the street. I'm not sure if our waitress was swamped or the cooks were backed up. My Margatini with Chipotle Salt set my lips on fire and it was hot outside but it was refreshing! The prices for the drinks and food during their Happy Hour are pleasant. The décor was pretty inside and easy on the eyes with their lighting. Small tables in the main room and bigger seating in the back. I didn't have a large amount of time to wander the entire place to get the full effect so I'll have to go back for round 2. read more

Never thought I would have to change my review of Luna Maya, but unfortunately after our recent visit I feel like I must. Luna Maya has always been a favorite of ours when we visit our family in Virginia. This visit our son, who is from Florida like us, was able to join us and we excitedly made reservations to share our favorite spot with him. We were seated quickly. We were a total of eight. 5 adults, 1 teen, and 2 kids. Our beverages were served and we placed our orders. Up to that point, all was okay. Everything went downhill from that point forward. First, our meals were not served together. Two came out, and then we waited, and waited, and waited. We encouraged the two to begin their meal so it would not get cold, and my husband had eaten half of his dinner (Carne Asada burrito) before the next "round" came out. It was several minutes before the "final" meals were served, so that was somewhat distressing. When asked why our food couldn't be served together, we were told it was because we were a large table and that's how it was. Funny how the table next to us received their food (and they had been seated at least 10 minutes after we arrived and ordered) in the "middle" of all of our food. Secondly the food was just not up to par, at least not from what we have had in the past. My son-in-law ordered a shrimp burrito, and he said there were shells in the wrap (he did not mention this at dinner as he was our guest and felt bad about complaining). My oldest daughter had ordered the carne Asada tacos and they weren't served with cilantro (as in many restaurants), so she asked for some cilantro to add to the tacos. It took about 20 min and 3 requests before it came to the table. She had finished all but a few bites of her meal by this time. To add insult to injury, they charged for the cilantro as a side, which it certainly is not. We did ask that it be removed from the bill as it was not received in time to eat with her entire meal. We had ordered a "gluten-free" taco for our oldest grandson, but it came out in a flour tortilla - not gluten free at all. Others stated their food was served lukewarm, but due to the fact that we had all received our food at different times, we did not request anything be reheated or sent back as we had wanted to eat together as a family. We heard a lot of excuses from our server about the poor service, slow service, etc. I'm sorry, but complaints should be directed to your manager, not to your customers. We came to enjoy a family meal, and hearing their complaints did not make for an enjoyable visit. I'm hoping this was just an off night for Luna Maya as it has always been one of the places we look forward to visiting on our visits to Virginia. read more

I had heard so much hype about this place, I couldn't understand why. Having gone last night with friends, now I know why. Absolutely delicious food - I had the queso with chorizo and carnitas enchiladas, which were both awesome - and AMAZING service from the bartender Tabitha, who one of those rare bartenders who can be totally in the weeds with tons of drinks to make and she can still talk to you with a smile and provide exceptional service all at the same time. Believe the hype, especially about Tabitha. Highly recommended. read more

Ate there last night gotta say was not very Good they're serving smaller portions Vegan burritos no longer have potatoes And was cold Very dissatisfied read more

TLDR: Way overpriced, mediocre, cheap chips, decent habanero sauce I was actually rather excited to try this place with all the favorable reviews, as I am slowly making my around Tidewater to find the best tacos/burritos in town. I must give a warning that I have been to Texas and California (the best places outside of Mexico) and have had, in my opinion, some rather amazing food. This means the bar is usually set moderately above most other peoples when it comes to these kinds of foods. Typically, most mexi places offer up a complimentary chips and salsa with your meal, so when I have to actually pay for it, I expect it to be tasty. I can't believe this place had the audacity to serve Tostitos chips with my salsa for $4. I knew immediately by the poor flavor, over salted, plastic taste (from the cheap bag) that these were obviously bottom shelf chips. Take the time to see the attached photo and tell me thats NOT a Tostito's. After getting over the initial sticker shock of seeing $13-18 burritos on the menu, I decided on the lime chicken burrito with the extra hot habanero sauce. For $13 I was expecting something totally amazing, typically you charge more for food when it takes longer to prepare or if it has gourmet ingredients. I was underwhelmed and found the burrito to have the dreaded "uneven distribution of ingredients" curse by someone in the kitchen who hasnt been trained thoroughly on how to roll a burrito so you get an equal amount of ingredients on every bite. I added an extra star because the habanero sauce was extremely tasty, otherwise, yawn. read more

Luna Maya is one of my favorite restaurants because the food is so consistently amazing. Great quality, flavor and portion sizes. I love that the menu has remained the same for so many years.

For our anniversary, I decided to do something different with my Fiance, and we ended up at Luna Maya on the recommendation of two friends from the area. Let me say I loved the look of this place, it had a very raw feel with the brick wall, the light fixtures, the steelwork and large windows at the front of the building. It was awesome to see an old building, retaining so much of its heritage, and creating a great flair. The space was also well used. The service was great, our waitress made us feel at home, not pressuring us to order, and took the time to explain as well as highlight a few menu items. Frankly, we should have asked her more questions as she was spot on. The food, it was ok. Frankly I thought it was a tad overpriced, as some of my friends would say "they must have bumped their head to price this so high". I didn't think our appetizer was worth the price we paid, nor was my meal. My Fiance, her meal was awesome and we ended up switch plates midway through the meal. The con? This place is loud. Let me be clear, I was in the third row at to see The Fray a few months ago, and this place was just about as loud. The "background" music was extremely loud, and the noise level from conversation, incredibly loud. I could hear my fiance across the table, but were we there with friends, there's no way I could have heard someone a few feet down the table. I'd likely try this place for lunch, or on an off hour, but would not repeat dinner. read more

I love this place but I'm only giving it four stars for these reasons: 1. They are not open for lunch (they used to until the economy tanked) 2. You will not be seated if all parties haven't arrived 3. They don't take reservations so there's usually a long wait for seating, especially if, see # 2 - all parties haven't arrived! 4. Always crowded on weekends as it is very popular 5. They make you wait, a long, long wait! I did say that already, right? LOL. Now, with that all said, why in the world would you still want to go? The food, of course! Depending on how long you waited, it's almost torture. And the no-seating-until-all-parties-arrive is almost snobbish ala if-you-don't-want-to-wait-you-can-take-your-money-elsewhere vibe. Hmm, if only I don't long for those Tamales Luna Mayas or the Burrito Carne Asadas...descriptions click here http://www.lunamayarestaurant.com/dinnermenu.pdf. The mission is to sample a different dish every time we go, but sometimes, when you like something, ya tend to go with the tried and true... The mojitos are good. Always ask for a strong pour and they usually comply. If you like really spicy dishes, you can even ask for the raw Habaneros that will surely put your tongue on fire. It's a clean establishment with an eclectic vibe. It's one of my favorite dinner spots in Ghent - a real treat especially on late, crazy Friday nights at the office. Comforting that it's just a block away, despite the long, crazy-ass wait! It's worth it. read more

Heard great things about this place but it fell very very short. Ate here and got the pique, most expensive dish on the menu and it was cooked horribly. Very bloody and when I sent it back i'm pretty sure they just brought me the same plate back. Management didn't care and was socializing behind the bar the entire time i was there. Mediocre white washed food, high prices, inattentive staff. Will not return. read more

Very modern, industrial and hip atmosphere. Dim and ambient lighting with lots of candles. Street parking. Service is good, nothing spectacular. We started our dinner with cilantro lime chicken quesadillas. The tortilla and cheese itself is tasty, but the chicken was overcooked and tough. I ordered the chicken chorizo chipotle enchiladas. Typical enchiladas flavor. The chicken chorizo is an interesting twist. The chipotle sauce was good. The black beans were very yummy. Sadly the rice was bland and a little dried out, probably from being blasted under the broiler when melting the cheese on the enchiladas. This dish definitely needed some sort of acidic component to round out the richness. Hubby ordered the pique a la macho with medium cooked steak and shrimp. This dish was full of flavor! The spicy potatoes were amazing. The smothered habanero onions were legit. Shrimp was coated in this unique and tasty red sauce. The steak has great flavor but overcooked and chewy. The slaw rounded out the meal nicely, just what the dish needed, some brightness. This dish will set you back a hefty $27 bucks though. Yikes! Overall, both dishes were good with interesting spices/seasonings and a nice amount of heat. I would probably come back for happy hour or lunch. I can't quite distinguish the difference between Mexican and Bolivian flavors but I'm assuming it's the missing element of cumin. read more

Been here quite a few times in the last couple of years. Their drinks are great (see caprinhas) and the food is outstanding. The only thing I've eaten there and didn't like was the shrimp tacos which I found to be a little over the top -- a little rich and heavy. My go to meal is the stuffed poblano. The atmosphere here is great. They've got a cool party room in the back and a nice porch area. The place is normally packed too. I took off a star because the food is a little pricey for what it is. Enchiladas shouldn't cost that much. This place is great for those with Celiac (my fiancee has it and has never gotten sick here) as long as you're careful communicating your needs to the servers. And their guac is freshly made. Overall a great place to eat and drink. read more

I ended my night with a fantastic dinner at Luna Maya. The ambience is always lively and the staff is always informed regarding the menu. I ordered the spicy shrimp quesadillas, one of my daughters ordered the chicken enchiladas and loved it. The food was so delicious. Likely not the spot for finigy kid eaters. If you have a large party, please plan and call ahead of time. It's not a safe idea to show up here with a big party unannounced. FYI...The menu items are optional spicy or mild. Relish your time here as it presents a great atmosphere for a good time! read more

I read the glowing reviews and was not disappointed. Looking forward to eating there again!

I loved it at the previous digs, and I love it more now. I agree about the slight overabundance of noise. Don't take your dad who can't hear to well. He won't like it. Go with your friends, get the more expensive margarita and some Tamales Luna Maya. Some of their fish dishes are a little limited, but they still get it right on almost everything else. It's busy on Friday and Saturday. They're closed on Sunday. If you're on Colley, this is the most popular spot...that I also like. It's fun! read more

I absolutely LOVE Luna Maya. I've gone here a couple times but have failed to write a review. On my last visit, a friend had made a reservation for 8 people and our table was ready when we got there in the smaller area in the restaurant. There is plenty of seating available and I've never had to wait long for a table. I wasn't much in a drinking mood, but I have had a delicious mojito before. Service is also usually great. The menu has a large selection of your typical Mexican items, but the flavor at Luna Maya is top notch. I highly recommend trying their tamales. It is one of their house specialty items and well worth it! The chile sauce is amazing and not too spicy. I've also tried their burritos which are packed with flavor and meat. I would come back here with a group of friends or for a date night. I definitely want to come back and try more items on the menu, but those tamales will always be my favorite! read more
