A local recommended Luna's as the best Mexican restaurant in Springfield, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The queso was smooth and flavorful, and the menu offered plenty of great options. I ordered the Al Pastor street tacos, which had the perfect balance of savory pork and sweet pineapple. My wife's quesabirria was the standout of the meal--easily one of the best we've had. The blackberry mint margarita was excellent as well. Friendly service and delicious food make this a spot we'll gladly return to. read more

Took a lunch break at Luna Modern Mexican and it was absolutely phenomenal. Located at the east end of Battlefield Rd, Luna has a very comfortable inside area as well as outside courtyard which is great when the weather cooperates. We were seated inside next to a cozy fireplace just like a nice family setting. The iced margarita is arguably the best in Springfield followed by an innovative quesabirria that hit a spot I didn't even know was missing. Just like a quesadilla but served with consome for dipping, this simple creation was amazing. Even the kids agreed "this is the best taco/burrito I've ever had." To back up this claim, I've only seen them clean a handful of plates and they cleared these in record times! The service and attentive staff was top notch and very friendly and understanding. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this establishment or its staff. I might be pushing things, but Luna is a top 5 up-and-coming restaurant in Springfield. read more

Luna was recommended by some family members that live in the area while we were in town and knew we wanted Mexican food for dinner. Great recommendation. There were 3 of us and we had meals and a couple of their drinks. Everything we had was excellent. We loved the look of the place as well it has an upscale vibe without coming off stuffy but has gastropub kind of vibe. read more

If there were a sixth star for "exceptional", I would mark that box after my visit to Luna Modern Mexican this evening. There aren't enough superlatives to describe this Picasso of Mexican cuisine. And to think I was hesitant to patronize it due to my previous experiences with its predecessor, Katrina's. After speaking with its impressively hands-on manager, Sergio, I found that Luna's was not a mere 'rename' but under new ownership by the company that brought Springfield the Casa Bella restaurants. I immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Luna's is in a Mexican realm of its own: Truly creative cuisine without being inauthentic, funky fusion or gourmet bizarro. Likely, their closest competitors are Primas, Casa Bella & Jose Loco's - not to discredit the solid local Mexican/South American restaurants like Perches, Cesar's, the original Los Michoacanos Garcia's and Senor Julians. Luna's is just in a different sphere likely to appeal to a bit more discriminating or adventurous crowd. We had reservations (recommended) for a Saturday night at 6 pm and seated promptly upon arrival. The atmosphere was subdued with stone & art accents. The creative table lamps provided plenty of light while maintaining the mood. Our waiter, Uva, was perfect: Extremely affable & efficient but otherwise unobtrusive. I noticed that other waiters were likewise efficient with a full house. We started with margaritas: Pineapple & Coconut for my sister while the missus & I had the Hibiscus...simply delightful. After a uniquely delicious appetizer of Street Corn in lieu of the tableside-prepared Guacamole, our entrees of 6 Pepper Salmon, Chicken & Spinach Enchiladas, Divorciadas Enchiladas, & the Carne Asada 8 oz ribeye with fries instead standard sides arrived timely. All my tablemates absolutely raved about their respective dishes. Our granddaughter had the Churros with ice cream for dessert but the adults were too sated for anything else. Consensus was that Luna's unique sauces for each dish were incomparably divine in helping make excellent, perfect. I don't blow smoke or embellish reviews especially when I find an awesome restaurant that speaks for itself, deserving customer attention. Luna's is one of these. I selfishly would hate to make it anymore crowded than it already is, but this restaurant is that special. It would be a crime not to share it with others to experience for themselves. read more
