Excellent service, excellent staff and amazing food. I was getting my laptop fixed at Best Buy and we decided to have some Mexican food and boy did we make a good choice. One of the best chili relleno that I’ve had in years. Worth the stop. Update: while we waited for our car to get a dash cam installed, we stopped over to have a margarita. Of course it was very good and the service was great as always.

The spring chicken was super delicious! It has an exquisite sauce. I'll gladly try it again 100 times. The restaurant is small but decorated very nicely.

Stop reading reviews and try this place! Seriously, the service and food are phenomenal!! The owner is soooo hospitable! He gave a bit of history about the restaurant, recipes, and his family - really cool guy!! The margarita sample was great. The four flavors are pineapple, guava, tamarind, and hibiscus. The tamarind margarita was suprisingly tasty and became my favorite. Per the owner's recommendation, I ordered the taco volcan, and my husband ordered the filete mariscado. Fantastic choices!! The tacos were huge and tasted amazing, and the sauce from the mariscado was amazing. Wish I could pack it and take it home. My kiddos ordered the nuggets/fries and cheese burger/fries. Finally, we ordered the fried ice cream for dessert. The fried portion of the dessert tasted like it had coconut in it, which I'm not a fan of coconut, but it was okay. This place is definitely worth a visit!

In mid-August, my husband and I visited Casa Luna for the first time for lunch. The restaurant is beautiful. The colors, pictures, and decorations were so inviting. The service was great! The waiter and waitress were so nice and kept up with our water and chips and salsa needs. My husband ordered the salmon al pistachio, and I had camarones a la diabla. The food was delicious. It's been a couple of weeks, and my husband is still talking about his salmon. Portion sizes were great, I had some leftovers, and my husband almost licked his plate to completion. I hope to return soon.

We ate lunch at Casa Luna Mexican & Seafood restaurant on a whim and we really enjoyed everything about it! Roxy was our waitress and she was so friendly and helpful, which we really appreciated. Everyone was so very friendly, which made our visit extra special. The food was amazing! We both ate the Filete Al Ajo, a fish named basa. I had never tried Basa before and so glad I did. The fish was white, light, and flaky and was so delicious, with lots of garlic! I requested veggies instead of rice and they were cooked perfectly (not soggy). All of the food was very fresh and flavorful, including the amazing salsas. We will definitely return.

As a born and raised Mexican, I have very high expectations to give a restaurant five stars. But this is a real thing, I visited on October 2024, I ordered the shrimp enchiladas with poblano cream sauce. They were to die for and presented very nicely with a side of beans and rice. The portion was generous I didn't make it to dessert, so I will have to come back to try either the guava plant or the Mexican corn cake. Service was great and the place was spotless. Highly recommend and I will definitely be coming back. Prices are competitive.
