I keep coming back. Every single time I'm more impressed than I was the last time. Reservations are recommended as word has spread how amazing Lunitas is and it's often busy! read more

Wonderful place! The outside patio is beautiful. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were scrumptious. Everyone was so nice to my service animal and brought her cold, fresh water. 10/10 for this place and its staff. We will come again! read more

This place could be better. Definitely a lot of improvement is needed. The food was ok to mediocre. The service was not that great. My friend who is Mexican felt she was treated very poorly and rude. We were not impressed with the food and service. I do have to say the water view is nice. Most people come here for drinks and for the water view and definitely not for the food. If you want really good Mexican food just go up past Gibson Landing to Salt & Swine. Prices are cheaper at Salt & Swine and on top better food and service. My friend also found it a joke that when she asked for salsa a few times and they finally bought it to her, they got the wrong type of salsa for her tacos. They bought her chip salsa. Guess People at Lunitas don't know Mexican food very well. My friend felt very offended. My friend said that the tortilla is the Mexican one but the filling inside the tortillas was not very authentic. On top, we were told the pork belly tortillas would be very spicy. It was not spicy at all. I don't think we will be back again. read more

One of our favourite places in Gibson's to eat. Every thing on the menu is fantastic and the drinks are creative and presented with cute garnishes. read more

We found Lunitas. Just as we had given up on finding food in time to catch the ferry. We had 10 minutes to spare before getting in line for the ferry. We ordered chicken tacos and a chicken burrito bowl, which the waitperson said would be the fastest and ready in 5 minutes. As promised it arrived in 5 minutes! It was all was remarkably well seasoned and tasty! Lovely cheese, pumpkin seeds, and green salsa. Cute restaurant on the water if you eat there. read more

To say that this place is amazing would be an understatement. We actually planned our trip to the Sunshine Coast based on our reservations to Lunitas. And then halfway through our meal there, it was decided that we had to go back the very next night. We came across this place about two years ago and we waited quite a while for a table but it was worth it and like this time, we dined there the very next night as well. Two years later and we still talk about the amazing food and service as this place, hence the trip back to the Sunshine Coast. Two of my favorite things here are the pork belly tacos and the street corn. The pork belly is grilled to perfection and the pineapple Serrano hot sauce adds the perfect little kick to it. If I could have jarred that up and taken it home with me. The street corn is nicely grilled and then topped with chili garlic aioli and a generous amount of cheese. It can be a messy eat but it is so worth it. To finish off the perfect dinner, I highly suggest the Lunitas Carajillo. read more

Finally! Authentic Mexican food! Margarita selection was awesome. We had the Duck Taquitos and they were very good, lots of flavour. We had the carnitas, chicken, fish and tofu tacos. These are authentic street tacos with great flavour - so impressed! The staff were super friendly and attentive. Love this little gem of a place, only 5 min from the ferry read more

Came here for some take out shrimp tacos and although the service was friendly and prices seemed reasonable, the portion was quite small and there was nothing special. Only two prawns on each taco with the wimpy portion of shredded cabbage and pineapple salsa. The flavour of the green goddess avocado sauce was good but the whole dish was high priced for average food. Overall, not the best choice for mexican I've had. read more

Great service and location, it might be slightly difficult if you have walking or trouble climbing stairs to access. The food was very tasty and the drinks were yummy. The meat was slightly dry on our carnitas but it did not stop us from devouring our food. The kale salad was spectacular. The restaurant also has a very colorful and beautifully decorated space read more

I absolutely loved my time at Lunitas this passed weekend! The staff was AWESOME - so friendly and so chatty and knowledgeable. They gave great recommendations based on what we told them we like. We ordered the queso bean dip to start with margaritas and absolutely LOVES the goooooey cheesy been dip. I like this take on queso! They actually gave enough chips too which is always appreciated. I hate when restos give you like five chips lol. We also got the baja fish tacos, cumin prawn tacos and KFC chicken tacos (Korean fried) and every single one was so flavourful and delicious! Also loved that they serve on two tortillas as it provides a great solid base for all the filling they put in the tacos! The tacos and dip were a massive hit for my partner and I! I also loved the multiple hot sauces they had that we could choose from. The margaritas were good but I've definitely had better elsewhere (Mezcaleria/El Segundo) but they are still quite refreshing and yummy here! Definitely do not wanna miss this spot if you head to Gibsons! It's a real winner! read more

The carnitas tacos are fantastic! The chicken tacos are their specialty. The shrimp tacos were also delicious.

Before travel restrictions, my husband and I went to the sunshine coast for a break and Lunitas Mexican Eatery was a nice lunch spot. Plenty of Covid precautions made us feel safe and tables were spaced out. It was chilly when we went but there was heated patio outside overlooking the water, which looked really pretty. We ordered via an online menu, I got Agave Lime Chicken and my hubby got the Carnitas, each bowl was $16. The food was fresh and a great mix of flavours. They were accommodating with ingredient changes due to some of my pregnancy restrictions. A little on the pricy side but as expected out here and it was a fulfilling bowl. Only downside was the Horchata drink we got - it was super tiny and 75% ice, not much drink was had for the price but the flavour was good - just wish there was more of it for $3. Overall, nice service and atmosphere! read more

What an absolutely delicious discovery! We had read about the great reviews online, but were drawn by the fact that this restaurant was by the water. I cannot praise enough, how glad I am that we decided to go! Lots of vegetarian choices to begin with! We shared the guacamole and chips, tried all the vegetarian tacos and had their special corn! Wow flavours were exploding from every dish! I cannot recommend the corn enough, I have never tasted something so delicious! We also ordered some cocktails, which were also absolutely on point. And, let's not forget the amazing service! So do yourself a favour and go! I cannot wait to be returning! read more

What a great vibe! Bring friends and family for a great time, great drinks, and awesome Mexican food

Who doesn't love Mexican? Especially one by the water! Place is quaint and nicely situated in front of the water in a little area of Gibsons. They have a great selection of tacos for vegetarians! (Not that I am one) Make sure you start with their charred guacamole!! Delish! My favourite was the batter fish taco! Love the crunchiness of the taco and the batter wasn't too heavy. The drunken prawns taco was plump and juicy! The mushroom taco was a little too messy but still tasted good. Their drinks were great also! Always go for the doubles! The only issue I had was the server trying to grab at things by making hand gesture and without using her words, but super friendly though. :) read more

Finding a place to eat in the Fall in Gibsons on a Monday night was no easy feat with lots of places closed during the start of the week but we were so lucky to have managed to get into Lunitas! The hour wait in the rain was well worth it if that is any indication of a good spot! The Fundido Platter is a must try! Hot cheese and a white bean purée was served in a cast iron dish keeping it hot and included salsas and guacamole. We also had the grilled street corn, Mexican kale Caesar salad and fish tacos. Every dish was unique and so flavourful! On top of our great meal, service was top notch! Our hostess was apologetic of under estimating our wait time and came by after we'd been seated to check on us during our meal and our server was fantastic. Two thumps up to this Sunshine Coast Mexican eatery! read more

Great food, excellent service with relaxing views of the water and mountains. Good portion sizes. Will recommend.

We dug it! For the most part... Went as a party of four shortly after five and sat outside. Margs were good, mezcal drinks were meh. Highlights were the elote, carnitas, and kfc tacos. None of us opted to finish the mushroom chalupas. Service was solidly mediocre, but I think more because they were understaffed than lack of attention. It seems they need to figure out a better "hosting" situation, as we were one of four groups waiting, while the host took calls on the phone. It was...awkward. I'd go back for a marg and a taco though! read more

A bit of a wait today but not too bad. Recommend others to make a reservation next time but since most people are their to grab a drink or/and bite so they come and go pretty fast. Some outdoor sittings and some indoor. A small area outdoor isn't cover but one part of the outdoor sitting is covered. Street parkings and bus stops on the main road, take the stairs on the side to the dock and Lunitas will be there, you just need to take their stairs up to the second floor. Food and drinks are delicious. The sweet corn tamale is a must try! Alcohol isn't the strongest but enough for me to taste it. Tacos are yummy, especially the shrimp is my favourite. The mushroom taco is good too but a bit spicy for me, but if you're into spicy then you have to check it out! Cute decor and very attention and friendly staff. My only criticism would be the bathroom is quite dirty and wet everywhere (floor, seats, etc.) read more

Stars are for the food and the hostess! Food was awesome the mushroom and fish tacos flavors are really bold and delicious! However the service was extremely slow. Our server was very impatient and didnt check on us, not once. Just get takeout next time and sit by the water! read more

I've been hesitant to try Lunitas because I consider myself an expert Mexican food Eater. I heard that it wasn't very good. Lessons learned: make my own opinions after trying, and forget what other people think! This place is the bomb and I've just had two of the best margaritas, ever. I ordered the fish taco, prawn taco, and tortilla soup. The tacos were fantastic and the soup a bit on the acidic side, but tasty. But did I mention the margaritas? The bartender created a work of art; as beautiful to the eyes as to the taste buds. It's called the Violeta margarita. I can't wait to come back! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurant in Gibsons. The food is fresh specially the guacamole. The flight of tacos is a good way to try all their taco offerings and brunch selection is interesting and a must try. They have interesting hot sauce selections, I suggest to taste all if you fancy extra spicy food. The restaurant has a nice view of the dock. The place is quaint and comfy. The service was efficient and on point. You do not have to ask for anything, they see what you need and provides it right away. Be prepared to wait for a little longer to get your food as the kitchen is a little slow in making the food. Take this opportunity to soak in the view and visit with friends or partners. A definite must try if you are visiting the sunshine coast. It is 10 mins away from Langdale Ferry Terminal. read more

Delicious food. We came here twice during our stay, and the food only got better the second time around. We had the kale Caesar, and guacamole with house chips to start, and both were great. The mini chimichangas are very tasty with any of the meat options, as are the tacos. Though the churros we had for dessert seemed a little over-cooked, they were still scrumptious. Fresh tasting Mexican food with lots of zing. Would highly recommend going. read more

Great deck, great food and drinks. Get there early and get a water view of the harbour

We needed to catch a ferry so we stopped in to make a pick-up order. We were met by a women who seemingly didn't want to help us. She was reluctant to take our order since it was busy, worried about the lead time (the food took way less time than she anticipated), hummed and haa-ed about taking our phone number down to call us when it was ready ("I'll call you guys if I'm not busy.") and asked us to step aside so she could first seat people (who arrived after us) before taking our order (we were ready to order). It's not the type of attitude someone should have in the restaurant business. The food was great though. The empanadas were amazing - the pastry was super crispy and light. My boyfriend enjoyed his wet burrito (although, it could have been more wet/saucy) and I enjoyed my burrito bowl. Despite the yummy food, the poor service we received left a bad taste in our mouths. We're willing to give it another chance the next time we're in town and opt to dine in to see if there's better service. read more

Went to Lunitas at 4:45. Seated right away. After half hour we asked and a girl came took our order. 15 minutes later my burrito is up. I can see it. Another 15 still sitting there. So after an hour left with no dinner read more

Been to Lunitas probably 5 or 6 times over the last couple of years: third time lucky, I think, for the location (I think there were two previous restaurants there) Always good food and good service. Lovely deck dining option in good weather and lovely views of the marina. Happy to go back anytime (always very busy in tourist season, though- think reservations or go in the off season). read more

Love the food here! Delish small tacos of all kinds. Everything is good! Creative chef! Lovely staff n view! A tad pricey, as to fill up u need to order a few small plates but well worth it! Decor is fun, colorful Mexican. Fun vibe! read more

We went once and loved it. My wife and i shared wonderful fish tacos. service was wonderful and you get a view of Gibsons harbour with the hills across the bay. We will write more when we go back. One dish isn't enough for a full review but go please and write a review. read more

Delicious, polite staff, not too loud, beautiful view, what more could you ask for? We tried the beef, chicken and Baja tacos as well as their prawn shrimp and it was fantastic! When we left we immediately called my wife's parents and suggest they go for dinner when they can. It's worth a visit. read more

Always a great place for some good Mexican food. Friendly staff, locally owned and operated. Keep up the good work.

We loved this place, our waitress was absolutely awesome (Jody). Very hospitable, big smiles and lots of fun. Food was great, mini chimichangas with pork were out favourites. Drink were lovely, try the sunset sour and hibiscus margarita, well worth yet. read more

Great vibe and well worth the wait. This place is busy - couldn't get through on the phone around 5:45 so went by to see how long the wait was. Twenty five minutes of a nice stroll through the marina, and we were seated in the front row bar-style seats perched above the marina. I don't usually like high seats but this was worth it for the stunning (and changing) view. Exceptional Mexican food - masterful but not fussy. Great margaritas, and we loved the salsa verde chicken, available in many formats (we had tacos, burrito bowl, and burrito). Should have ordered more sides for the burrito. Mexican kale Caesar a tad overdressed and smoky, but generally a good twist. Excellent burrito but spartan plating. Would have ordered a couple more tacos or tried a couple other things, but it was so busy and slow that we decided to end it there. Would definitely go back, maybe earlier or with a reservation. read more

The fish taco was super tasty! We sat inside as the patio was full so we got a table by the bar area. It was nice to see how well the staff get along and seem to really enjoy each other's company. It is always more comfortable when you know the employees want to be there too read more
