Pretty good, the food was good as far as my limited taste is concerned. The portions were good for the prices they charged. Staff were friendly and didn't seem to have any issues. The atmosphere was filled with Mexican or Hispanic leaning decor and music playing in the background. read more

Excellent Mexican food, great service and large portions. We started with chips and salsa. Their salsa is spicy and just the right texture. Not too runny, not too chunky. My husband and I ordered the Hot Winter and it was delicious! So much to eat that we took home lunch for the next day. Drinks were very good. We were just visiting the area but if we ever get back we'll definitely head to this spot. read more

LunaZul - The Hot Winter platter - Tex-Mex Near Me - Hampstead, Maryland

Great guacamole and barbacoa tacos! The Chile en nogada is very flavorful and well seasoned.

To start the chips and salsa were amazing. With the first bite you could tell that it was made fresh. The flavor was amazing. The Good tasting margaritas always help too, next time we will try some of their signature drinks. We Ordered shrimp and fish taco's which were very good. The Chile de nogada, Again bursting with flavor, not just your average dish by any stretch. The staff was very friendly, they came by to check on us a few times and strike up a conversation. And chef Jorge even stepped out of the busy kitchen and took the time to see how we like the food. He has a passion for his Kraft and Sharing it with his patrons. The last picture I can only describe as the following way. I know it Doesn't look like much but What it is what is left of a beef enchilada and the Mole sauce. The Mole sauce which is what we were most impressed with. Subtle flavor of sweetness but then layered with paprika, hint of chocolate and other spices. Wow. !!!! We will definitely be back. Before we could leave we were once again tempted by the offerings of his kitchen, Yes the Flan, OMG. It was a Dense custard that had a sweet caramel coating. I should have snapped a few more pics but oh well, perhaps if you are in the area just stop by yourself read more

A simple dinner invitation left me wondering where the heck I was after what I will call Mr. Toad's Wild Ride to LunaZul. Do you ever think Google maps is run by kids sitting in cubes laughing as they get people lost? Once I found this destination after a trek through county horse and corn fields, as well as a hemp field my olfactory nerve recognized right away, it was time to exhale and have a Mojito! Don't let this unassuming little restaurant in a strip mall fool you. I would gladly get lost all over again to get here. The Cali Burrito was delicioso with shredded beef and side of Queso. I spooned some salsa over it for an extra kick of que rico! The guacamole was fresh with generous lumps of avocado. The soup? Yummers! This place is worth the drive, which is beautiful btw! read more

No customer service whats so ever... went there for lunch on a rainy Friday and sat at the bar.. I ordered Burro Fajitas and my wife ordered shrimp tacos. Food came out fairly quickly.. my order was wrong giving my just plain Fajitas. Then my wife found a long black hair in her food mixed in the melted cheese, we alerted them, they made a new one. No apology, no compensation or offer for the trouble. We asked and they gave us a 50% discount on the entree. For me its not about the money, its the principle which they have none. This is not the first time I've had a bad experience.. but its the last until they get mew management. read more

Food is very good. Service.Really bad. Been going there since it opened. Menu hasn't changed since it opened. Use to have really good specials on weekends now the only thing they push is breakfast. Don't know what happened not going well for them. read more

I love Mexican, but LunaZul is just okay. It's far better when you eat in versus when you get carry out. The food in the restaurant is really good, but the carry out is mediocre at best. Maybe it's a temperature thing? I don't know, but every time I get carry out, I swear I won't go back. The table service is good, but service at the carry out counter always leaves something to be desired. It either takes forever to be noticed and waited on, or you show up on time to pick up and your food's been sitting forever. read more

I gave my rating based on the great customer service and the very tasty mango margarita. The food was average. I ordered one of the enchilada dishes. Parking wasn't an issue. We went on a Saturday early evening and it did start to get crowded as the evening went on. I would return to this restaurant. read more

Atmosphere was clean and comfortable. Staff was professional and knowledgeable. Food was authentic and delicious.

We ordered from this restaurant after passing by it numerous times. We ordered the yucantanes enchiladas, a Mexican sampler, a beef and cheese empanada, and a kids cheese quesadilla. The food was about average for Mexican food. The yucantanes enchiladas were good and different from the typical Mexican menu. The rice was a little under done. The Mexican sampler was kind of bland. The empanada had a corn dough which was different than usual but a little too doughy. Overall this establishment has decent food but would probably go elsewhere for Mexican food. read more

Food was wonderful! I took my two girls there, and they loved it, which is saying a lot because they are picky. Wait, staff was friendly and attentive. The food was served with care and very tasty. Will definitely visit again! read more

Yum! Tried the steak huaraches which had great texture and was topped off with fresh vibrant avocado. The shrimp taco was good and full but the tortilla needed to be a tad bigger to be a handheld. The star of the show was the pastry in the empanada. So flaky and made fresh! The meat could've used a tad more seasoning. Chips were crisp and yummy and the salsa packed a kick but was good! Bonus: Hoffman's homemade ice cream is right next door! read more

It is always a truly amazing experience when we eat at Luna Zul. From Margaritas, to entrees and phenomenal desserts. We have never been disappointed and are always salivating to return. read more

Not your stereotypical Mexican food. The menu is well rounded it traditional dishes done in a slightly different manner. Right from the start the chips were excellent but don't fill up on them the really treat is the meal that awaits you. I got the 3 taco platter it was made to my choices from the list and was well flavored. The staff was very attentive and made sure everything was correct and refilled when needed. read more

First time there , food was great and service very good! Place also decorated very nice. Would definitely recommend it if you like Mexican food read more

Definitely a five star for me. My family pretty much lives off this place. The bacon wrapped jalapeños with cream cheese are literally the best in town and hot winter is definite, favorite and the seafood.mecohote will not disappoint read more

Great food, some of the best Mexican food I've had in the area. Cute restaurant, small and quaint. Authentic Mexican food. I was born and raised in California and a lot of the Mexican food I've had since living here has been good, but this was really good. Will most definitely be back. read more

What a shame that they cannot employee solid help. As with the last time when I called to place an order the person answered the phone with "Hello" then silence. I had to ask again . Is this LunaZul? After asking this question they finally answered with a yes. So much for Hello this LunaZul how can I help you. When I went in to pick up my order, I was early and it was not ready (no issue). I asked the girl, can you bring it out to my car when ready as you have done in the past - answered with a "Sure" After sitting in the car for another 30 minutes, I went in to check on my order and it was sitting under the counter. When I asked what happened the girl said her boss told her they could not do that anymore - livability issue. Ok no issue I get that but why could the manager just not pop her head out and tell me that. Sorry to say but I am just done with this place. read more

We called in our order and the guy we gave our order to recognized we we already in the parking lot. He told us our order would be ready in 15 minutes. 40 minutes later, we called to see what was going on because they still had not brought it out. We were told they "have been very busy" and she "wasn't aware" we were there. Finally a guy brings our food out without the margarita I ordered. His answer... he "wasn't aware" we were there. You guys need to learn to communicate with each other. Keep in mind, we watched a family go in to the patio, place their order, and nearly finish their food in the time we were waiting. The food wasn't even that good. read more

We came to LunaZul at around 6PM on their first Friday open and were fortunately able to be seated within 5 minutes. The menu is very impressive with a wide variety of options, including a lengthy tapas menu that's well priced for the portion sizes. We tried the Queso con Chile (so good, and spicy!) flautas, Burro Cali, and Habanero enchiladas - all of which were delicious - fresh and full of flavor. The staff was very friendly. Keko went out of his way to check on us multiple times to make sure we were happy with everything, and went above and beyond to accommodate us and our requests. The decor is minimalistic and unique, which I really liked! Small hiccups are to be expected when a business of any kind first opens, but the staff seems to be responding to them very well. LunaZul is quite easily a home to some of the best food in Hampstead, and I know they will quickly build a strong relationship with the people of this town. Excited to see what they are capable of once they are all settled in (and the bar is stocked ;D)! read more

Best Mexican food I've had since I've been in Maryland. Literally everything I've had is great down to the chips and salsa. Wish they had a location in Westminster. Best Mexican food in Carroll county hands down. read more

I have been here several times and I'm so thankful that Hampstead has a a quality Mexican restaurant like LunaZul. My wife and I have tried many selections from the menu, quesadillas, and the specials. I'm writing this during the COVID-19 crisis (2020) and they now have an abbreviated carryout menu, but when I visited pre-COVID-19, I was very satisfied with everything I tried on their menu. I got to meet the principal-owner and he told me how he had a previous popular Mexican restaurant in Westminster in the Cranberry Mall/Town Mall of Westminster, and when the enclosed-mall started to lose its heavy foot traffic of regular mall shoppers, understandably he had to find another location, and I'm so glad he set up shop in Hampstead. The food is prepared with care and flair, and packed with flavor! I am a regular and will keep supporting this great local restaurant! read more

Good, local and untraditional Mexican food. That is what I like about LunaZul. Staff is always friendly.

Delicious food and great service! Some of my fav dishes that I've tried are the elote, the Rojas or the Poblanas enchiladas, and the empanadas. Can't wait to try more dishes! read more

This is a hidden gem! Who knew Hampstead has great Mexican food? Great service and lovely atmosphere.

Food was ok at best. Service was poor. There are so many better places to eat in Hampstead. This place needs to clean up its act and maybe stop having the staff vape while folks want to eat. Just a suggestion because everyone can see you all huddling by the side of the bar. Again, shall NOT return. read more

Do not miss this place. If your tired of eating bland out of can text mex you have to give this place a try. Home run. Tried the chicken mole and wow. Best I've had east of Denver. Even the chips and salsa for the table was excellent. Finally salsa with some heat. read more

Pretty decent food, last time I went they served the wrong tequila twice when I asked. Besides that it's a decent place to eat

This is my second time stopping into this small town Mexican spot and I'm wondering why it took me so long to come back. Chips are served with two fresh salsas - a red salsa and smoky green salsa. I ordered from the lunch menu and got the California Burrito. They let me sample both the specialty beef and pork before ordering (they offered!). I ended up with the pork and was surprised at how absolutely delicious it was. No bites remained! At the end of the meal, I started talking about the carnitas I make at home and they brought me a sample just to compare! Great food, great service, great prices. Just need to bring my husband with me next time! read more

UPDATE as of 6/13: The Lunazul website and Facebook now have updated vegetarian menus with new items that look delicious! I ordered the Hampstead tacos tonight and they were great. I'm glad to see so many varying new and innovative items that include beans, rice, peppers, and cactus leaves! I'm excited to try all the other new additions to the menu. Lunazul is one of the best local restaurants in my opinion and I will keep returning! this is a great option for vegetarians and meat eaters alike! read more

My wife and I visited on Cinco De Mayo and we had a great visit. The food and drinks were delicious and the portions we received for the price we paid was exceptional. I got 3 loaded hard tacos and my wife got 3 loaded soft tacos. We shared Nachos and I had a beer. Our waitress (nose ring and heart tattoo on chest) could not have been any kinder. She answered all my questions and helped guide us with toppings and the meat for our tacos. She was ultra friendly and had her eyes glued on our table and waters. We enjoyed her service greatly and hope to see her again. On a somewhat bizarre and unprofessional note.... While eating, we noticed someone walk in who appeared unhappy, and he engaged with what appeared to be the owner/GM. The owner and this man made quite a stink in the middle of the restaurant and we both were shocked as the ebb and flow lasted for a good 3 minutes. The owner could be seen pointing to the door and shaking his head and making dramatic hand gestures to the boxed food that was brought back in. All eyes in the restaurant turned to the scene he was creating, finally, the patron huffed and puffed out in a defeated matter, box in hand. Afterward, a small crowd formed around the man at the bar as he spoke to the staff in front of the customers, apparently explaining what had just transpired. His hands were flying obnoxiously around the air, he was spinning on his stool pointing in every direction and his face was red like a radish. He finally calmed down and the Medieval Times Tournament was over. It was an extremely dramatic and unfortunate way to handle the event in my opinion and could have been handled more delicate. The food and service are reflected in my 4-star review and we will certainly be back for more. If this review makes it to management I would highly suggest allowing someone with a softer more gentler tone handle customer engagements. read more

Never had a bad meal here, they have a motivated menu including tapas dishes which I usually get.

Delicious food, love their black bean refried beans! Great prices and friendly staff. My go to Mexican restaurant in Carroll County :)

Wow!!!! The food was amazing. The service was great. You must try this place. We had the chorizo empanadas The Mexican plate The sweet Jorge The tres leches cake The chipotle chicken enchiladas Torta read more

Been meaning to review Lunazul for a while now. I've been a number of times since they opened several months ago and can't say enough good things about the food. I've had just about all the tapas on the menu and they've all been good. My favorite is the Chile en Nogada, Shrimp Taco and Panucho but I can't really think of a bad one I've had. The entrees I've had have been solid as well - the chorizo can be a bit greasy - but outside of that the chimichanga, enchiladas and taco are worth your time. If you like black beans, the Milpa soup was also tasty and filling. The one downside of this place is the service is very hit or miss. It seems like they consistently have new staff. Every server is pleasant and seems to be trying. If you get a server that has been there a while, service is generally good. Other times I've gone and we've has missing dishes, lack of refills, and generally slow and inattentive service. Not sure what the issue is but a lot of time I feel like a couple people are doing most of the work while others are standing around near the bar area. One small pet peeve is that I've asked for the spicier habanero salsa a few times and I think I was only told the first time I was there that there would be a $1 charge for it. I don't mind paying it but I feel like that should be mentioned if I ask for it. Anyway, I still order from Lunazul because the food is fantastic. It just that i tend to order carryout more than I go to sit down now. The last few times of mediocre service soured my experience even though the food was great so I just call it in now to avoid that entirely. Hope that Lunazul can improve in this area but don't let it discourage you from some of the best Mexican food you'll find in Carroll. read more

The food was fantastic, everything was flavorful and the interior decoration was fantastic. Our host was amazing, he even let us try his own Pork Carnitas recipe. I loved everything about this place, I would highly recommend. read more
