This was our first time here. A friend, who lives locally, said it was her favorite. We arrived at 5:30 on a Saturday with a group of 6. We had to wait about 20 mins. They don't take reservations! The inside is decorated so fun! Lots of cool Mexican art as well as fresco paintings. It was packed at 5:30! Not a spot at the bar. It's small cozy and quaint while also being fun and festive. We got the table side guac, which was great, as well as two molcajetes for the table. They were the best I've ever had! We got some margaritas, both blended and regular. They had a good skinny marg. The beans and rice are FANTASTIC! (I always rate a Mexican place by their beans. If those are good, you know the rest will be good.) We had a really great time. The servers were extremely efficient. They move quickly. The place stays poppin' the whole night. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is smaller than it looks so during busy times I may suggest checking to see if they take reservations. I ordered a chicken taco and it was very full (lots of chicken) the refried beans are good. Salsa was okay. My husband really liked it, the flavor was different, I didn't care for it. Save me from getting filled up . We did get guac made at the table - good. My sister ordered beef tacos but it came shredded and she didn't like them. She felt that was on her (that she didn't ask) so she didn't complain / can't give it an honest review. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Like I said the atmosphere is great. It's very loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Sometimes I think my friends are super annoying, but then again, if your best friend isn't annoying you once in a while, how good of a friend are they really? It's practically one of my life mottos and definitely belongs in my bag full of clichés. Another one of my favorite sayings is: don't take a Mexican girl to a Mexican restaurant--she'll never be happy. It's not really the restaurant's fault. My mom is just too good of a Mexican cook, so the bar is set ridiculously high.That being said, Sol y Luna does a lot of things right. The salsa here is amazing, and that's one of the biggest ways I judge a Mexican restaurant. If the salsa isn't good, we're already off to a bad start. Thankfully, that's not a problem here.I also love that they prepare the guacamole tableside. It's always fun to watch, and it doesn't get much fresher than that. Over the years, I've also run into quite a few famous people here, which adds a little extra excitement to the experience. Another thing I look for is mole. It's one of the most complicated and time-consuming Mexican recipes to make, and I absolutely judge a restaurant by whether they can pull it off. Today I went with tacos. They were okay, but for me the real standouts remain the salsa, the guacamole, and the overall atmosphere.[[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking for a lively spot with great salsa, fresh tableside guacamole, and a little celebrity-spotting potential, Sol y Luna is worth it[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Food was good, we waited about 20 minutes to be seated. They also have valet parking so that's nice! Unfortunately service was not the best.. our server I believe her name was Amy wasn't very professional or attentive I can definitely tell she was hungover which doesn't give a good representation of the restaurant at all we were also able to see some noticeable marks on her it just wasn't the level of service or presentation I expected read more

I have been coming to Sol Y Luna for years, although it has been quite a while since my last visit. It was so great to be back! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I met five other friends for lunch on a recent Friday and the restaurant was packed! I do not think that there has ever been a time that I have been at the restaurant when it wasn't full![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I arrived, tableside guacamole was already being prepared. Since it is always a go-to for me, I was happy that the group had ordered. One of my friends wondered if anyone would be interested in sharing a molcajete, which is my all-time favorite at Sol Y Luna, so needless to say, I didn't even look at a menu. There is a valet lot behind the restaurant. If you are up for walking a block west to Corbin, you can find completely free street parking. Otherwise, there are meters along Ventura Boulevard. Although every table in the restaurant was filled, the service was great and our table was checked on throughout lunch. We had a fun time, and everything was delicious. read more

Lol might be my new fave Mexican restaurant?! First of all this place is very Mexican whimsical. Very cute inside. The menu is quite big so that's nice. I love tamales so I got a combo plate and their tamales was really good!!! I also got a crispy taco and it was also really good!!! We also got a side of plátanos and they also were good. I know this is a valley staple so I'm so happy I finally tried it! I'd def be back! read more

Food is OK to good. Drinks are small and minimal and EXPENSIVE. But a place like this doesn't give a shit. They're full. always. A shame.

I must update my review for this place, they earned it! I've tried the molcajete and tableside guacamole at other Mexican restaurants and nothing comes close to the taste and quality of sol y Luna! If you're on a diet or eating low carb they offer grilled veggie options instead of rice and cold veggies for dip vs their delicious chips :) Everything on the menu is delish! The margaritas are tasty and strong just don't buy the cheaper version it will taste watered down! Great service and food comes out quick! If you haven't tried it, what are you waiting for? It's always busy no matter day and time so be prepared to wait a lil bit but so worth it! read more

We came here last night to celebrate my wife birthday with her family. We called ahead to make reservations. This restaurant has valet parking for $10 in the back or there street parking, I chose street parking but it was only mad at 1 hour so I used the valet afterwards. We arrived on time and checked in but it still took about fifteen minutes to be seated. It's very compact and feel small inside of this restaurant. Our waitress was Martha and for the most part she was okay. It took three attempts for her to bring me my soda since she kept forgetting. She also forgot to bring me back my refill until I had to ask twice. I had almost the same issue yesterday at another restaurant, my drink was just a soda. I got the shrimp ceviche, chicken wings and my wife got the chicken mole. Her brother got the carne asada burrito. The food was okay but the service was slow with our waitress. What made the occasion special was that they'll sing happy birthday to you and give you a hat to wear so other people will know it's your birthday. read more

I got the shrimp burrito and my friend the carne asada burrito. They were so good and huge portions so I ate half there and half the next day for dinner. Free chips and salsa were great I preferred the green. Very nice and quick service. We were there at dinner on a Tuesday and we didn't have to wait but it seemed pretty full. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very pretty inside but also very loud[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll definitely be back read more

I loved everything about this restaurant. (Except parking) We came here for their molcajete. It's my friends favorite thing. And it is now my favorite. It's huge. Sharable for sure. I didn't drink but my friends enjoyed their skinny margaritas very much! Service was a little slow, but they made sure to keep us updated and the whole time. Very attentive. We sat outside. Lots of plants, spacious and fresh. read more

Driven past Sol y Luna for yearssss and finally decided to check it out on a Sunday afternoon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's carpeted, dark and electic (& slightly kitschy) with lots of fake plants and things hanging off the ceiling and lighting fixtures. You can tell it's been there for a looooong time without much renovation/remodeling. (How many restaurants still have carpeting??)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The starter of chips and salsa were delicious. Chips were still warm and didn't have much salt which I prefer. The salsas were yummy & spicy. Our server was kind and we didn't have to wait too long for our food. The first menu item we got was a 2-item plate of a chicken tamale and chicken enchilada. LOTS of chicken in the tamale and enchilada. Enjoyed the flavors especially paired with the accompanying rice & beans. The second item was the tostada salad and it was a hard pass. You'd get a better tostada salad at El Pollo Loco. It was less than half full. And even that was mostly lettuce. Barely any of the ingredients you actually want. And the shell tasted stale. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Aside from the 50% 'yum-rate' on the food, another reason we may not return is the carpeting. We saw several employees sweeping the carpet, smh. Do you know how much dust flies up by sweeping carpet?? And they were doing it right next to customers eating. A few customers looked at the staff with disapproving expressions. I saw one woman put her hand on top of her margarita so the floor's dust wouldn't land into it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] **DO NOT SWEEP CARPET WHILE CUSTOMERS ARE EATING!** [[HIGHLIGHT]]***They should get rid of the carpet entirely and replace the flooring with Spanish tile. Much more hygienic and sanitary for a restaurant.***[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] While glad we finally visited, doubtful we'll return. read more

The restaurant took me back to the old Mexican restaurants of my youth with the large mural, decorative booths, and dark ambiance. I was told that the table side guac was a must, so I ordered that, a chicken tamal, and a side of rice. The tamal came with a side scoop of guac, so I got to taste the difference between the fresh guac and the 3-oz scoop on the menu. The table side was so worth it. When I cut into the tamal, the fresh corn smell really hit me, and the masa was very moist. I somehow ended up with mole on top, and it was a bit too earthy for me. The side rice was cooked perfectly and was a nice addition to my meal. The restaurant got busy very quickly as the lunch crowd arrived, so service felt a little inattentive. I never got a water refill and no one checked in with me between bringing my meal and bringing the check. I don't know if it was that I was sitting alone or if I was just so quiet that they forgot about me, but it would have been nice if they had asked if I needed anything else. Would I return, though? Sure. read more

Tried and true and always busy for a reason! Use the waitlist to put yourself "in line" for added convenience. The arroz con pollo and combo platters never disappoint. You MUST get tableside guacamole (I prefer it without tomato and a little spicy). Classic ambiance of a local Mexican place that's been around for over 20 years read more

Food was amazing and excellent service!! No wonder there is usually a line to enter! Inwill.be returning next week!

My husband and I had a rare opportunity for a day-date and decided to check out Sol Y Luna in Tarzana. We came in around 3 PM on a Saturday, and to our surprise, the place was packed! Right away, we were greeted with complimentary chips and salsa, which were super fresh and flavorful. We also ordered a small side of guacamole, and it totally hit the spot. I tried the coconut blended margarita and it was a 10/10. The texture was smooth and icy (not watery or chunky like some places), and the coconut flavor was delicious without being overpowering. For our mains, I ordered the coctel de camaron, which was fresh and full of lime & veggies, and my husband had the chile Colorado burrito, which he enjoyed, but felt it was over-salted (which is saying a lot, because he is obsessed with salt). The food overall was tasty, and our server was friendly and attentive. That said, we did notice that our food took much longer to come out compared to other tables around us. It seemed like our order may not have been put in right away, which was a bit of a bummer. Still, the atmosphere was fun; the decor is colorful and festive, and there was upbeat music playing that added to the lively vibe. All in all, it was a great experience, and we'd definitely come back... maybe just not when we're super hungry! read more

Nice enough place! Ordered the tostada tradicional, asked for rice and beans inside, they said they couldn't do that. So, I asked for rice no beans. There was maybe 1/8 of a cup of rice at the bottom. What, is there a shortage on rice? Like rice is expensive... How hard is it to combine both rice and beans. For heaven's sake, I'm sure the tub of rice and beans in the kitchen is side by side. The meat was on the tough side, plenty of it but though. Chips didn't taste very fresh. Great salsa though. Anyways, $19, WAY over priced for lettuce, a small handful of rice and tough meat for a tostada. Not to mention they're not there to please the customer. Won't be back! read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for more than 15 years to enjoy authentic Mexican cuisine. I'm not sure what has transpired, but this time, I was very disappointed with my experience. My guests and I arrived early. The hostess took our reservations and asked us to wait for about 15 minutes. Once I received a text message stating that the table was ready, we proceeded to enter the dining area. We were then told to wait an additional 20 minutes to sit down at our table.The server was very pushy, aggressive, and unprofessional with me and my guests. She seemed irritated by all of our requests. Our orders came out late and cold. Finally, the general manager, was also very unprofessional, aloof, and careless. What a SHAME! read more

Had a wonderful experience at Soy y Luna! The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish full of flavor and beautifully prepared.

This was my first time coming here, and unfortunately, it didn't start off well. The valet attendant was extremely rude and rushed us as we were getting out of the car even though I had a baby with me. He showed no patience or courtesy, which really set a negative tone before we even walked in!! Once inside, we were greeted and seated in a nice booth. However, the service was underwhelming. It took about 15 minutes just to get our drinks, and even though we flagged down our server several times to let her know we were ready to order, she continued to ignore us. Two other tables that arrived after us were able to place their orders before we even got the chance. When the food finally came, it was disappointing. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito, and it was overwhelmingly cheesy the balance was completely off. Even the water tasted strange, almost like it came straight from a bathroom sink. It was honestly undrinkable. Overall, the service was poor, and the food just wasn't good. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend this place to others. read more

My family and I tried Sol y Luna for the first time today and it will be the last time we ever go. The service was underwhelming and it nearly took 45 min to get our food out. They greet you with "complimentary"chips and salsa only for them to charge you for them in the end. They should be notifying customers instead of sneaking in these added fees. Will 100% not be recommending this place to anyone read more

I had been at Luna about 20 years ago and loved it. For some reason hadn't be back. Maybe because there is always a line to line get in. But, my friend took me there and we had handmade guacamole and chips. The chips were so delicious and fresh, despite being there at closing. The ripe avocados m, smashed were to die for. It was a wonderful reminder. Can't wait to go back. read more
