Great service, great ambiance, and delicious/fresh food! If we had a little gem like this back home, I'd literally come every weekend! Breakfast selections that accommodate my husband's simple taste and my boujee taste, plus mimosas?! And supporting a local business?! I should probably get into the meals. My in-laws had the chicken fried steak and eggs and I could hear my MIL say mmm the whole time. My husband had the bacon, eggs over easy and hash browns. He loved it! I read their Benedict was good and I opted for the tri-tip Benny. Eggs poached to perfection and flavor was delicious. Photo is after me breaking into one of my eggs. read more

Luna’s Cafe - Cute menu - Burgers Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Absolutely delicious from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care--but the salsa deserves its own shoutout. It was to die for, easily one of the best I've had and totally addictive. The staff was incredibly personable and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The ambiance was clean, comfortable, and spacious enough to easily accommodate our large group without feeling crowded. Even better, there was no wait time at all to be seated, and once we ordered, the food came out surprisingly fast. Overall, a fantastic experience with great food, great service, and a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. We'll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to others! read more

We were in town and stopped by here for breakfast on a Friday morning. Nice little hole in the wall with great food. The place is clean and service was friendly. Our food came out nice and hot. We ordered the Ortega Scramble with crispy hash brown side, so tasty with their homemade salsa they bring to your table. Also got the chorizo con huevos that came with beans with sprinkled cheese on top. Their berry French toast was the perfect dessert. So glad we came here to avoid a big crowd at other places. read more

Ok, out the gate! Greeting,, seating and menus were in front of us in less than 30 seconds. We opted for counter seating as it was just 2 of us. I knew what I wanted as I was told by a frequent customer to try. Florentine Benedict & Home fries, try the salsa with those Home Fries!!. I'm a benedict snob. Did not disappoint, in any way!! Hubby ordered an ordinary choice. Turkey Burger. His side was potato salad and after a bite, he said I'd like it. I did!! Tasted like my Step Mama's home made!! The entire staff is top notch and the chefs are rapid fire! It's a local, home town feel!! Check it out, sit at the counter, chat with the locals, watch the flow and appreciate what goes in to what's in front of you!! read more

Quaint diner with an old school feel. I ordered the Mexican omelette with hash browns and sourdough toast. Omelette was filled with chorizo and very tasty. Hash browns were perfectly done and the coffee is strong. The house salsa is delicious. Staff is friendly and prompt with coffee refills and provide the perfect amount of attention. I'm a diner nut and this place is right on the mark. Please go to Luna's and enjoy a bite. read more

Everything is great here! A neighborhood place. So close we can walk. We will make it a point to visit weekly.

Great breakfast/brunch spot! Visiting the area from SoCal and stopped by Luna's Cafe on the way to the SB Botanical Gardens. Had the Monte Cristo sandwich.....soooo good!! Service was awesome. Will absolutely be back next time we're in the area! read more

I visited this family-owned restaurant for breakfast and it was so good! The staff were super attentive and kind from the moment we walked in. There were a few people dining inside and one person outside enjoying their mean with their dog. I ordered the red chilaquiles (they also offer green) and they were delicious! They were just the right amount of spicy topped with sour cream, cheese, onions, and avocado. read more

Great breakfasts here. Coffee is great too. Got a chili relleno breakfast and it was good.

On a recent visit to the SB Courthouse, I overheard a couple clerks talking about a delicious new breakfast spot, "right across the street." And one of them actually said, "Run, don't walk there for breakfast." So at that point I casually sauntered over and was excited to try this new cafe. And it was delightful. Nice friendly dining space, attentive and friendly staff. Got lots of great food recommendations . . . but settled down with their Green Chilaquiles with Eggs and Chicken. Simply delicious. Can't wait to go again and experience the rest of their menu. read more

I forgot to take photos of the food! The chile relleno special was legit. The hash browns were well cooked. The service was very friendly and warm. The food took a little bit but they kept the coffee flowing. My companions' meals of chicken fried steak and huevos rancheros we also delicious. Yes, I got a bite. I'd give this place a try. read more

Visited on a Friday around 11, service was fast and great! (Weekends are much busier and longer wait time but that's to be expected at any delicious restaurant ) Green Chilaquiles were delicious, --very spicy but flavorful! Also tried a short stack of pancakes with strawberries and they were also delicious and moist. Highly recommend for an authentic at home type breakfast. read more

Lunas is such a cute place and the service is awesome. The food is so fresh. We had Chilaquiles and Huevos Rancheros topped with homemade salsa...AMAZING! Best we've had. read more

Luna's Cafe (not to be confused with Luna Grill) just opened in the former location of the venerable Judge For Yourself. It's open for breakfast and lunch, serving traditional and Mexican breakfasts, plus burgers, sandwiches and salads. They open at 6:30 for early risers like me. Indoor and outdoor seating. Nice old soulful building. Looks good! But of course we'll all miss the neighborhood vibe of the Judge. Let's hope this'll be a good addition to the breakfast/lunch scene. read more

It's been a hot minute since I've posted any reviews and my meal just ignited me to come and share my foodie experience. What a delightful meal! Please please please try the GREEN CHILAQUILES! (I added a grilled chicken breast) and they were the BEST chilaquiles I've had in SANTA BARBARA, absolutely delicious! Tortilla chips, soaked in a homemade savory mild spicy salsa with its combination of queso cotija, queso fresco , that crema drizzle. With a half of avocado thinly sliced on top. Chicken breast was grilled and remained juicy, bursting with flavor! 2 over easy eggs just made it even better! I immediately tasted the AUTHENTICITY in every bite. The SAZON keeps you smiling ear to ear in every bite. My daughters loved the fact that they did not have to ask for refills. The staff is extremely attentive and helpful. All of my family enjoyed their plates of food. Breakfast with a dash of homemade salsa. I got the pleasure to meet the owner Sr Federico. I had to give thanks for the amazing meal and greet the chef that knew how important AUTHENTIC MEXICAN cuisine should be made, eaten, shared and enjoyed. My family and I also enjoyed the fact that the portions were big and the prices were definitely fair and the BEST part by far is the fact that the food tastes FRESH and not frozen. I can't wait to come back for some more. read more

Am visiting from out of town and was intrigued by a place that had super high reviews but only just a handful of them. Turns out they are a new business so I tried this place and was not disappointed. Had the BEST chilaquiles I've tried in a long time. It comes with a red sauce but I was offered the choice of red or green, and I chose green, which is the spicier of the two and it was hot but super delicious. Service was wonderful - friendly and helpful and they even gave me a to-go cup for the excess of the large pot of tea I was served. I hope that the community steps up to support this new, small business and it turns in to a Santa Barbara hot spot! read more

My girlfriend and I had breakfast at Luna this morning. Both of our breakfasts were good. Eggs, Hash Browns and Bacon were cooked to what was ordered. The place was clean and the staff were helpful. Family owned and operated... read more

We enjoyed our breakfast at Luna's Cafe. The corned beef and eggs were great. The corned beef hash had a lovely, crunchy smash-burger-like edge to it. Delicious. All foodies have their little quirks. Mine is to try the Huevos Rancheros at every restaurant that offers it. Even when traveling, which can be disappointing. Catsup-based salsa, anyone? Luna's Cafe served me a fun and taste-pleasing Huevos Rancheros with nice, fresh salsa that had a little kick, but not too much. read more

Nice upgrade from the restaurant that was previously there. Clean, nicely decorated, with friendly staff and quick service. The food is simple and good. I love the French toast. Doesn't need any syrup at all. read more

I'm usually very picky with chilaquiles but when I say these were so delicious I mean it. Perfect spice and the protein addition was great. And the chips were still slightly crunchy which I love. Would definitely return!! Was so good I'm writing it as I'm sitting at the restaurant read more

Food was good and the staff was nice and poured coffee regularly--but holy hell, it took nearly an hour to get our food out with only a half-full restaurant. It's okay to check in, post-order, to let us know how long it's going to be. Not saying don't go, but steer clear when you're in a rush or, as we were, starving. read more

Great service with AC providing exceptional service. Small place but had tables available both Saturday and Sunday for mid-morning. I had the turkey omelet both days. Prefer their hash browns over their home fries. Will visit here every time I come to Santa Barbara read more

The staff was amazing. The food was amazing!!! Highly recommend the huevos rancheros with green sauce. The salsa that came with it iwas soooooo good we practically drank it. Pancakes were just as good. Tri tip with egg was okay. We're sooooooo coming back here. read more

From the service to the food, this is a wonderful little restaurant. My husband and I shared an order of Chilaquiles Red. Everything was cooked perfectly. The eggs were just right, the chorizo was just enough spice for me, and for the first time, the tortilla chips were crisp, not soggy. The serving was huge and I'm glad we split the serving. A.C. and the rest of his crew went above and beyond to provide quality service. I could eat here every day, if I lived close. read more

This place came highly recommended by a good friend. So I was trying to think of a good place to have breakfast for lunch and this spot came to mind. I figured if I could find a parking space anywhere near there I would go. I got a spot just across the little side street. Perfect. I am a connoisseur of Chicken Fried Steaks. I have tried them up and down the coast. So that's what I ordered with Hash Browns, Scrambled Eggs and an English Muffin. Iced Tea to drink. It was very good Iced Tea. The steak was a very nice thin lightly breaded steak with some sausage gravy that had a nice strong taste of sausage. The hash browns were perfectly cooked and the eggs fluffy and hot. Everything was great. The salsa they brought was very fresh and had a nice kick. I put it on my eggs. It reminded me of the salsa that Joe's Cafe serves with their bread. They were very busy with the lunch crowd even though this was Sunday. The waitress came back after I ordered to let me know it might be a long wait because there were orders before mine. I thought this was quite courteous of her. I joked that I wanted to see the manager and we had a laugh. Very friendly staff all the way around. Each of the 3 wait staff individuals stopped by my table to ask if everything was OK or if I needed more Iced Tea. They were all very nice. All in all a very nice experience. I will definitely be going back. Some of the plates I saw go by looked really good. Big Waffles and Pancakes with Chocolate Chips. A piece of Salmon on top of a salad. Everything looked good. read more
