It was okay. Our Ceviche tasted a little old/not fresh. The Chicken Empanadas were delicious, I would definitely come back for those.

In town for work. Chose this place based on reviews. Excellent choice! Fantastic customer service from start to finish. Everyone was friendly. Our server was excellent. The food was delicious. You MUST save room for a dessert empanada! And honestly the cost was shockingly affordable.

A pleasant surprise - while looking for a place to have lunch got mixed with the need to find cover from heavy rain. Luna's staff treated us like they knew us - in a good way. Spotless service and delicious food. No issues with modifications on our order. Great restaurant.

What an impeccable meal - totally hit the spot - and excellent service and dining experience. Our second time visiting this restaurant and it’s SO GOOD. I had two veggie empanadas and garlic kale - PERFECTION! Bae had meat and collard greens and black beans and rice. Yum! God, their collards are so good! Our waiter was very kind, and we enjoyed a great meal.

5-Star review based solely on the fried cauliflower. It's was unbelievable and everyone from the tri-county region should drive here and try it. That is all. Regretful I didn't take a picture of Cauliflower but once I started it it was Game On - used parts of rest of meal to literally soak up sauce on bottom after eating them. That good. Besides that most all else was great as well. LOVE the collection of sauces you can get with anything and everything you order. Half chicken was awesome - plantains were awesome - Caesar w chicken was really cool w pile shredded chicken on top - different approach and I really liked it - and an awesome Paloma. Highly sad they were out of pimento cheese grits. All ordered: half chicken, plantains, French fry things w different names, a chicken empanada, Caesar with chicken, and a Paloma.

This place is a hit! The menu is just the right size to make a quick selection and every item we ordered made the tastebuds happy. Lots of seating indoor and outdoor. The restaurant was nicely organized and decorated. Full bar with knowledgeable and quick bartenders. Definitely a recommended spot for me.

This place was absolutely amazing! The food was outstanding, and the service was exceptional. I appreciated the concise yet exquisite menu selection, offering only the finest options. As an Ecuadorian, I adore ceviche, but I was so satisfied with my meal that I couldn't manage to order more. Thankfully, I arrived just in time, as it soon became crowded. The efficiency in serving the food was remarkable, considering other nearby restaurants' lengthy wait times of exceeding 20-35 minutes. The crayon set and paper for children was a delightful touch that kept our daughter entertained as we devoured our food. The attentive service at each table was commendable. Learning about the owner's passion for travel and culinary exploration added another layer of intrigue to the experience because it showed how passionate this owner was for his restaurant. I took a picture of the front of the menu to give a better idea of all the parties involved in making this experience more than what we expected. It was fascinating to see dishes from various countries grace the menu, like the Ecuadorian ceviche and the Dominican-style smashburger. The vibrant and modern music further enhanced the lively atmosphere. We're definitely planning to return and explore the dishes we missed last time to switch up the taste buds.
