Iâm kind of vacillating between average and very good. Tastes were solid, as was the presentation. Service was right on point without being obtrusive. Worried about their longevity as the place was decidedly empty during my visit, price could be an impact as both food and bar prices seem out of line for the area and fare.

I LOVE the Aqui brand and I LOVE this location. Itâs in a not so great looking strip mall but that means plenty of parking. It is a big building with plenty of seating although Iâm sure it doesnât feel like that if you come here during prime time. Every Aqui Iâve been to gets crowded fast but thatâs because the drinks and the food are the bomb!My husband and I usually each get a different swirl (this time I got the Sunrise and he got the Sangria). I always forget how strong the drinks are here. They may look fruity but you definitely get a good swig of alcohol with every sip which is why they are so great! No watered down beverages here! We both got the barbacoa burrito which we had never tried and it was delish. Their cilantro rice really makes every burrito here yummy no matter what filling you order. We both couldâve passed on the salad although itâs nice that they offer it with your meal free (you can also get soup instead). Itâs a bit of a drive from our house but I need very little persuasion to drop by!

My favorite dish was ... the dessert. Bunuelos = small pumpkin fritters with horchata ice cream. It was seriously one of the most satisfying dessert I've had this year. 5 stars! Can't wait to try all the other desserts.Food was average. We got ·guacamole $8 (add bacon and pistachio for $9.50)·chorizo y mole negro tacos $12.50 (2 tacos, each with ground chorizo, black mole sauce, and pureed sweet potato - good flavor combo, nice texture contrast too)·elote (grilled corn cut off the cob, small portion, good as a side dish to add variety)·Pasilla Chile Relleno $18 -reasonable portion, good size to share; as for taste, I was disappointed that it doesn't have more flavors. I didn't know what I was getting in a bite sometimes. Don't recommend :(There are some interesting cocktails as well. We tried watermelon mojito and the strawberry basil margarita. Both drinks were too strong for my taste. Overall, we had a decent experience. The space inside is small, my chair was almost touching another person's chair. So it's smart to make a reservation, especially since you can do it directly on Yelp. Yes, this app you are using right now can save you time. Make a reservation for Friday and Saturday evening. Service was alright. My friend spilled her water (and didn't even break the glass). Though 2 or 3 waiters came to help clean up, somehow we were left feeling like we were stupid/did something wrong. Try a dessert!

Me and a couple colleagues were in Santa Clara this week and happened to stop by LUNA at 1495 THE ALAMEDA, SAN JOSE, CA, not once but twice. This is a hidden gem for visitors, but not for the locals as they know how good it is and it is crowded.The Margarita's are excellent, the chips and dips are great and tasty. We had the ceviche, a member of our party said "it was the best ceviche they've had", and one of the reasons we came back. I had the carne asada tacos and they were very good. I was a spectator, but the dessert was very good.Kevin was our great server and he was very polite and offered us options.The atmosphere is awesome, the service is outstanding. Make sure to stop by LUNA if you're near the area.

Very peculiar evening, the queue was out the door- so we thought it must have been good.... wrong! Lack of flavour in any of the dishes. The vegan options looked like green snot along with brown slime on the enchiladas. The only thing worth eating is the guacamole...

Delicious healthy Latin food! The place was packed. I did not try those industrial strength margaritas but I had a beer, instead. Everyone in our party enjoyed the margaritas. The chips were very good, too. Loved sitting on the warm, outdoor patio.
