LUNA Mexican Kitchen - The Alameda

About the Business

Specialties

Our mission is simple: to share our passion for authentic Mexican food made with clean ingredients that nourish both our bodies and our spirits. No matter the season, our menu will always revolve around the Mexican trinity tradition of corn, chile and beans. We are proud to use ingredients that have been nurtured slowly, with care, all the way from the farms to our kitchen. Bienvenidos! Whether you enjoy a communal meal with a parrillada or quench your thirst at the bar with one of our signature margaritas, here at Luna we celebrate that we all live, love and feast under the same moon. As much as we are different, we are more of the same.
