    Taco salad
    Nia F.

    Food and service was great! Server was super attentive and quick. Had the taco salad which was really good. Huge portion.

    Placed a pickup order on a Monday evening. I had a very long travel day and wanted something easy for dinner on my way home. According to my email and text message confirmations and arriving at the restaurant to pick up, my order was ready at least 10+ minutes prior to my arrival. I thought the whole point of placing a pickup order is so it's ready when you pick up, but if it's sitting out, not only does the temperature change but the flavor, in my experience, is also affected. My order was very soggy and was super disappointing. I enjoyed the chips and salsa as well as the dipping options, but the temp was a huge downer.

    My husband and I try to come to Valle Luna at least on Sundays for Sunday Funday. They have great deals on certain appetizers and food. We get their taco basket that comes with 6 tacos and we just share that. It's plenty of food. We also get their spicy been dip. The service is always fast and the servers are friendly. We usually sit in their bar area because it's sit yourself and we tend to get a seat faster.

    Fundido
    Steve S.

    This was a fun Mexican food spot that I tried while in Arizona. We came here for some lunch on a weekday. It wasn't crowded at all. The atmosphere and scenery of this place was pretty cool. They had lots of choices on their menu. We went with the Fundido and a taco / enchilada combo. The shredded beef fundido was definitely the choice to make. It was so good. I loved the jalapeño cream cheese that was stuffed inside. This paired so well with rice and beans. This is a must order item here. Their tacos and enchiladas were pretty tasty too. We finished everything on our plates. Overall, this place hot the spot. If your feeling Mexican, come try this place out.

    Everyday is a different special!

    House Margarita hits the spot
    Joyce S.

    Update June 2025 For the first time I had the sizzling fajita and it sure did sizzle and was very tasty, but I had ordered the pork and steak and it was disproportionately pork and it should have been better balanced. The accompaniments were ample and tasty. Enjoyed my House Margarita and asked for Tajin on the rim and they obliged. Complimentary chips as good as ever. Claudia the server was very attentive and it actually seemed she cared that it was my birthday and wished me a happy one right at the start and again at the end. One of these days I'm going to ask to be in the other room with the seaside murals just for a change of pace in the dining atmosphere, not that there is anything wrong with the main room.

    We hadn't been here in about 20 years, as we moved from the area quite a while ago. We decided to go for old times sake when visiting Phoenix last week. The chips and salsa / hot sauce were great! I had the Fundido, which was what I always had gotten back in the day. It wasn't like I remembered, it was just ok for me. Our service was great though.

    We love Valle Luna! We've been to each location in the valley and love them all. Bell road has the OG feels inside. Food is always yummy. Try the Mexican Pizza with machaca and jalapeño cream cheese. It's delicious (a lil spicy)! We take all our friends and family to try it. It's great. Just go. Pro tip: use the yelp waitlist feature cause they're almost always busy!

    I have yelped this restaurant before for the fabulous food but this time, I want to recognize Diana S, our server. Someone called out sick and she was doing it all. She worked so hard that evening and yet, gave us stellar service. Kudos to her and how well she took care of us!

    Valle Luna is very underrated authentic Mexican restaurant. Service was excellent and the dining room was beautifully decorated with comfy booths. I had their chicken enchilada combo with rice and black beans. Portions were huge and very filling. Chips and salsa were delicious too. Will return to try more things. My friends at the table had tacos, burritos and tostadas and everyone was very happy with their meal. Highly recommend!!

But I wanted something hearty after donating blood the day before at Phoenix Fan Fusion. I felt like I didn't eat enough to replenish all of the corpuscles I shed, so a hearty late breakfast was in order. I was pleasantly thrilled with my choice of Presidio Cocina Mexicana, as the late breakfast I ordered did not disappoint! I ordered the Chilaquiles, which are essentially breakfast nachos, and you have a choice of protein to add. I chose the birria beef which was perfectly slow-cooked and complemented the corn tortilla chips, cheese, and eggs superbly. I opted for both the red chile and green chile sauce which coated the chips along with a generous layer of tangy cotija cheese. I asked for the eggs scrambled and they cooked them just how I like them... fairly dry and in a thin griddled layer. Add to this mound of well-seasoned goodness a decent dolloping of Tapatio hot sauce (and salt and pepper on the eggs) and I had endless perfect bites of spicy, meaty brekkie goodness that brought delighted yummy sounds from my grateful gullet! This was quality food and the couple at the bar next to me raved about the Menudo, so it has all the hallmarks of authentic Mexican fare. It restored me from borderline anemic to my usual strutting rugged caballero self. "¡Arriba, arriba! ¡Ándale, ándale!"

We ordered an appetizer and then entrees from the lunch menu. The aguachile appetizer is SO good. It's bright, fresh, and has a lot of flavor in the green sauce. It reminds me of a ceviche type dish due to its raw butterflied shrimp that is marinated in the house made chile serrano & cilantro citrus sauce. It was awesome. We were also given free chips & house made bean dip. I ordered the mixed two item plate with a chile rellano and taco corazon (grilled taco dipped in a red chile sauce, stuffed with shredded beef & melted cheese. Topped with grilled onions). The black beans and rice is also tasty. I tried a bite of the other dishes, and I also really liked the brightly colored spinach & cheese enchiladas with pink sauce ( signature beet sauce). I look forward to trying other items from the menu, I was eyeing the steak Mexicano or red snapper. Those dishes sound good for dinner.

It's 105 today and the restaurant is so small, it's probably impossible to keep cool during the summer. Finally, the food. It all tastes very fresh! NO SEED OILS is amazing. I feel like I have won something when I find a restaurant that uses olive oil and beef tallow to cook in. Best corn tortillas I have had for sure. We basically tried one of each taco. (Although some of the tacos we ordered were wrong, so we just kept adding) not a big deal, because they were delicious and we loved them. I felt like the carne was chewy but my husband loves chewier meat. The taco with the marlin was my favorite. And the one that came out kind of like a cheese crisp. It's loud in here and again the space is very small. They do not serve wine at all. But yummy margaritas! The bartender is working solo and working hard! She busted her butt and did an amazing job.

Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.
