There's nowhere to eat in New Hampshire past 9pm unless you want McDonalds, so I headed to Terra Luna Cafe. I'm glad they were open until 1am, but the kitchen does close around 11, so be mindful. The ambiance is definitely latin influenced and reminded me of restaurants in latin-america. Hip light fixtures and Romeo Santos playing in the background. A good place for a date. We got the pollofongo with salsa roja, and chicken Alfredo. Personally, I would've enjoyed my dish more if it was one bigger piece of chicken instead of two thin-sliced chicken breasts. I thought the thinness made it a little dry. I've never had mofongo before. I liked the plantain on the side, but also thought it was a little dry. I wasn't a huge fan of how smoky the Alfredo was, but it was fine. It seems like boxed penne, and they're not a pasta restaurant, so no qualms with that. We got the flancocho for dessert and I thought it was delicious! The chili mango margarita with tajín on the rim was huge! It got the job done. Definitely worth the price. Finally, I loved the staff. Very kind women who spoke Spanish which is always nice to hear. I believe our server was Anny, thank you Anny. read more

The food was lackluster (flavorless) as was the attitude of the waitress. Not friendly at all. The only thing going for this place is the outdoor seating and the decor. The tables were tiny - barely had room for two and we were a party of 3. Parking was a pain as the streets were closed for some festival. Found metered street parking about a third of a mile away after about 15 minutes of looking. Wouldn't return. read more

Terrible experience here. We reserved a table for 8 on OpenTable and got a confirmation. We had to add an extra person so we called ahead. When we got to there we were told there would be a little wait since they don't have the tables set up yet. We waited for about 10-15 minutes and they set up tables for us but it only fit 6 people! They told us to sit down first and said they would add more seats once they become available. There's no point of taking reservations if you can't accommodate! read more

Do yourself a favor and don't step foot in this place . I was there with a group of about 13 people we order food and drinks. The waitress was very cordial and attentive but had the worst experience EVER. There was a COCKROACH in my drink . I called the waitress over to show her she didn't know what to say she was nervous and brought it over to show the manager. I can see her do it from my seat , the manager just disregard it and looked away . She apologized and gave me some story that the ice machine was broken and that the ice came from a different place.The manager did not even come to our table to acknowledge what happened . He totally disregard it like this is something normal that happens in this place After this happened I see them just continuing serving drinks like nothing while knowing all the ice is contaminated . The waitress was sent over to comp my drink and food like that was going to do something for the hundreds of dollars that was spend . This is Disgusting and I will never go back to this place .The health department needs to be looking into this place . read more

We came here for lunch and everything was perfect. The outside patio had these beautiful tables chairs and big umbrellas. The restaurant is lovely and the service was amazing. The service was all in Spanish! The food we ordered was a platter to share and everything on it was made just right and high quality with care and detail. This place is one of my favorites now and I will definitely be coming back read more

Terra Luna Cafe - Platter. Tostones, fried chicken, fried cheese, sausage, some fried pork, and fried yuca - Latin American Near Me - Lawrence, Massachusetts

If you're there for lunch, plan extra, extra time... We got there around noon (or even before noon) on a Wednesday. Restaurant was empty except for one party of 8-10 people who already had been served. As we ordered, other tables started filling. All the other patrons who arrived after us got their food before us.... Our food was served at 12:50. One of my colleagues had to leave at 12:30 before even getting her food because she had a meeting at 1:00 she couldn't miss. Two other colleagues missed their 1:00 meeting. When the food finally arrived (no apologies from the server, of course), was it good? Sure. Good portion, reasonably price. Was it worth the wait? No. Will I go back? Probably not. Also, be aware, parking can be difficult. Street parking. $1 / hour... Not worth all the aggravation. read more

If you're not a Spanish speaker, please be patient. Some of the staff only speak Spanish, but that shouldn't deter you from coming to this place. Everyone is friendly and I thought our service was great. We came here for lunch during the week, which is a very different vibe from the night (club vibes). The lunch portions are huge and such a great bang for your buck. The lunches come with one side and there are a ton of options, which I love. We started with freshly squeezed orange juice and Picadera Tres Luna's. It comes with fried salted pork, fried cheese, fried breaded chicken, fried longaniza, fried yucca, fried plantains. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, while the pork was dry and kind of tough. The longaniza was packed with flavor and was my boyfriend's favorite of the plate. My favorite was the chicken and yucca fries. Super cripsy on the outside and soft on the inside, definitely a must have. For the entrees we had the Churrasco lunch special - one with rice and beans and another with yellow rice. I loved the beans, I was a little iffy because it came in liquid, but it was yummy and the liquid/soup? was great on the rice. And it came with some fresh greens to make it a complete meal. The sandwiches were chicken avocado and Cubano. They were both huge and packed with ingredients. Again, the yucca fries are a must, please get them, you won't be disappointed! I would say if you're looking for a nice meal, come during lunch because it might be a little too hectic to enjoy it otherwise. read more

When I arrived I realized that it was too loud for dinner so we asked if the music would be lower outside.... We're sat outside and it took many minutes before someone came to take our drink order to the point that I also picked what to eat. So my husband ordered his drink and I ordered both my drink and meal.... the waitress came and took my husban's order.. my meal came before our drinks did... then our drinks came ai finished eating and when I told the waitress that they should have brought our food at the same time she told me I shouldn't have ordered my food with my drink... not a sorry anywhere... the food was fine, the service not so much! read more

I've seen this restaurant grow as much as I've seen Lawrence grow. I've traveled the world, and today, after a long flight from California to attend a close family member's funeral, I tried to get lunch here. Unfortunately, this restaurant isn't as progressive or modern as they might appear. They still hold onto old-fashioned business practices, especially regarding small pets. Our 5-pound dog wasn't welcome because they required proof of service animal status. Most restaurants in cities like LA, San Diego, Miami, NYC, and Boston allow well-behaved dogs to sit outside on their patios without documentation. We left this unprofessional establishment with its archaic values and headed to Bali's down the street. Bali's offers better service, food, and a welcoming, pet-friendly patio. read more

la comida es excelente le doy 5 estrellas, el ambiente espectacular y el servicio demasiado bueno me encantaaa

Love this place! Food is great, drinks are amazing and the staff is very helpful and fantastic. If you're not a Spanish speaker you may need to demonstrate some patience, but it's well worth it. The atmosphere and vibe are so fun and all the staff we encountered so friendly. I honestly don't understand any 1 or 2 star reviews. If Spanish food isn't your vibe, then this is probably not your place, but if you want great Latin American food, great drinks and a fun atmosphere, this is your stop! read more

Very bad service. No water refills, servers nevers shows up to clean up or ask if everything is ok , or we if we want more drinks, nice place and food, but they need to educate they're servers on customer service. read more

This is a very mixed review because the food was much better than the service/overall experience. I came here one evening with a friend and it was jumpin' inside. Clearly a popular place! We were seated quite quickly and given menus. That's about where the service stopped. We decided on our drink and entree orders and were looking around for ~15 minutes for our server or anyone to take our order. We flagged down a different server and asked if we could place our order; she (rightly so) said she would get our server's attention. Nothing. Another 10-15 minutes pass sans order, so we signal another server, who was in disbelief that we weren't able to order yet. He was like, "¡No me jodes!" and it was unfortunately a case of "Sí, es verdad!" This cycle continued on for a while, but our server eventually resurfaced and asked what our menu items were again. We corrected the order and asked for water once more. It's more than an hour in, and we still have no water or drinks, so we *I am not kidding* busted out some Altoids because that would at least do a little something to quench our thirst. I will absolutely the waitress cut some slack because she was new, and there were a lot of menu items to learn, especially with a crowd. Twenty minutes pass, 30 minutes pass, and still no water or anything. We flag down another server, who was shocked to hear that we hadn't gotten water or our dishes yet. Eventually, our Mangonadas came, which were super refreshing. And once we DID get our food, here were menu highlights: -Empanadas de pollo: These were either the best empanadas I've had in a while or we were starving...perhaps both. The side sauce also really hit the spot. -Mofongo de ropa vieja: Tender beef and a nice mofongo overall, although nothing out of the ordinary. I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5. -Plátano relleno de ropa vieja: This was probably overkill because we realized we ordered way too much food, (LOL) but was also quite nice. -Mangonadas were refreshing. I had a second one! Mind you, we still have no water at this point and proceed to try to track down a server to get water. I was about to just go up to the bar (which was rather crowded) to get water when someone appeared with some glasses. All that said, it was A VIBE in here. The music was pumping and loads of people were up dancing and having a great time. We both really enjoyed the environment and how upbeat everything was. To that end, I would definitely come back here for salsa, but not for service or food. Their playlist was excellent and had hits that could go for salsa, bachata, or merengue, and I was here for it. Come for the vibe. Stay for the vibe. Just eat before you come! read more

We have been here twice now and loved it both times! The food was delicious and the staff were wonderful. When we asked for a pitcher of mimosas the bartender even came over to talk to us and recommended the best way to ensure they didn't get flat while we ate (by making us the mix and bringing us the bottle so each one we poured was fresh). My only suggestion would be to possibly warn customers about the service charge added to the bill so they expect it. Honestly...I don't know why that would bother someone, but it would be nice to know from the beginning to plan accordingly. read more

Came in to Terra Luna looking for Dominican food and a late lunch. The place itself is really cute, clean, and the staff is attentive. Very toddler friendly, they have high chairs and are accommodating. We ordered the sancocho, churrasco, chuleta, chivo and fish with garlic sauce. The price point was good, a huge lunch plate with your choice of side (rice/beans, veggies, mashed potato, or plantains) will ser you back about $11. Portions are really generous. Presentation is above and beyond what one expects for a $11 lunch plate. Food is well seasoned and cooked to order, which is why they have signs advising customers that it may take 25-30 mins for food to come out. Overall, really happy we stopped in for lunch. read more

Always Amazing, they'll give you a Latin America tour with their authentic food. Service always amazing.

Waitresses do no pay attention to patrons always on their personal calls or talking to co workers

Food was good( French toast is the best) service wasn't good we waited hours to be sited and they had many tables free. The lady took another 40 minutes just to come to hours table. Not worth the hassle for break fast. read more

If you are of darker skin complexion do not come here. My boyfriend and I came here, the bouncer told us no seats and no tables. As I used the bathroom before leaving the establishment , I heard some women in the bathroom, (which was disgusting btw), who had spoke to the bouncer previously say they were going to be seated in 15 minutes and all they had to do was hang around and wait for availability. Yes, I am a darker skin woman who can understand Spanish and I really thought the culture was better than that. read more

Amazing food, amazing vibes and really amazing service overall highly recommend especially because of the vibes!

The ambiance is very live. Good music. The drinks are always good. Food was tasty. Love this place.

The beef empanadas were good and nicely seasoned, but the main meal itself was just ok and I was a bit disappointed. We had the burger and the chicken with peppers and onions. It wasn't terrible, but also not to par with the $100 it cost us for lunch. Beware that they charge a 15% service fee, this is BEFORE you tip, so it was an extra $12 added to our bill. Server was attentive and friendly. But the food did take a little over 1/2 hour to come out, and it wasn't that busy. I am from the Caribbean and know what many of these dishes are supposed to taste like. Terraluna hasn't nailed the flavors down to some of their dishes just yet, and that was disappointing. read more

First time here yesterday and it was such an amazing vibe. I would say the only issue was getting in and getting a table. You cannot make reservations online so it was a little complicated getting seated. Our waitress was too sweet and made sure we were comfortable. The appetizer and drinks were quick but the actual entree took over an hour but the waitress apologized and the food was well worth the wait. read more

I was a bit disappointed with the food. It took really long to the point I no longer felt hungry anymore. I did enjoy the music and the atmosphere and felt the service was okay. However, I defiantly have had better Spanish food even just at bodegas as compared to here. The drinks though where amazing so I would only consider going here to grab drinks and appetizers but not big on having a whole dinner or lunch meal here. read more

I've been coming to this restaurants for many years and absolutely love their food but after COVID and restaurants reopening it appears that prices have significantly increased. I am appalled that I was charged an additional $6 just to add avocado to my BLT. I simple BLT cost me $17. The waitress did explain to me that it would be an additional cost for the avocado, which is expected, but didn't expect $6!! I spoke to the owner which he apparently thought it's okay to charge $6 for a simple addition of avocado. It is safe to say I will keep my orders simple and not ask for extra anything at this place! They're not taking my money! My appetizer cost the same as an avocado! read more

Terra Luna Cafe - Latin American Near Me - Lawrence, Massachusetts

Let me start off by saying that the wait staff are improperly trained. I have dined here several times and have always waited awhile for the food but it usually ends up being halfway decent, this time was intolerable. We sat down at noon, ordered after about 10 minutes and didn't receive our food for an hour. About 30 minutes after originally ordering the waitress returns to tell us that the soup my friend ordered is unavailable, ok no problem he orders something else. We all eat our food while waiting for this new bowl of soup that appears about an hour and 20 into our stay and my friend just looks at it since it has taken so long and everybody has finished. He asks for the check and if the soup can be taken off the bill to which the chef replies "you ate the lobster in the soup". Nobody touched this soup...... we all just looked at it. upon further review, the chef solved the case of a missing lobster and they decided to take the dish off the bill. Morale of the story is that the customer is always right and we will not be coming back here. P.s I'm glad the tip was included because the waitress did her job to the best of her ability. read more

Terra Luna Cafe - Freshly squeezed Orange Juice during Sunday brunch - Latin American Near Me - Lawrence, Massachusetts

I would give this place no stars but that is not an option. This place had terrible service. The waitress told us that we were only allowed 90 mins at the table which we thought was reasonable since we were a party of 4. We waited about an hour and a half for our food to come out and it was also cold. I asked for scrambled eggs with my steak and got a fried egg instead. The waitress said that they would bring out my scrambled eggs but it never came. No where on the menu or site said that there would be a 15% gratuity added onto the bill so we were not expecting that. Do not recommend going to this place unless you want to wait two hours for cold food. read more

Went here today for lunch with my co workers. First time ever stepping into this rest.. great atmosphere and decor. Sat ourselves down immediately and drinks and order were taken quick. Now we waited almost two hours for our food and every time I would look at the waiter she would apologize, which is great, but where is my food ? After getting our food it was ok not great. Don't think I will try it again. read more
