Valle Luna
Valle Luna is an old fashioned family owned-and-operated business that proudly observes the Sonoran food traditions. The entire southern border of Arizona is bounded by the great Mexican state of Sonora.

With their proximity and stark topographic similarities, it is only natural that these two friendly states would share their cultures, reflect such things as architecture and building style, music and language, and of course, food and drink traditions.In the mid-1970's Tia Rita, our Family Matriarch, journeyed to upstate New York with her Arizona-Sonoran recipes.

In town for a day or two - The menu page with Tia Rita drew me in, and the description of the Sonoran Enchilada Dinner was too tempting. Well worth it! I had never tried this interpretation of an enchilada before, and I'm glad I did. Very flavorful, and the egg topping it off is a great touch. I'd stop in again, for sure.

Visited this restaurant for dinner recently, in the middle of the week. I arrived at peak time around 6:55 pm. Restaurant was packed but wait was reasonable, about 15 min. They have nice waiting area with comfortable benches. The atmosphere is very festive. I was seated at a booth. On Mondays, they have their house margarita for 99 cents, limit 3 per person. I expected it to be watered down, but was pleasantly surprised as it tasted decent. The chips are warm and salsa was good. I wanted to order the burrito bowl because I planned on having the flan for dessert. With the burrito bowl you have the

The food is always delicious. I order take out for the first time this weekend. And still the great service I always get when I am here. Chimichanga is amazing. The tacos are always super good!

Sitting out on the patio to enjoy the beautiful weather and not be crowded on the inside seemed like a great idea until the patio turned into the designated smoking area!! Super unhappy...

Valle Luna is always a treat to visit! We love eating out or eating in. More often than not we order pick up. They are very fast and efficient when taking our order and preparing it. Their chips and salsa are absolutely to die for! If I had to be honest thats half the reason we eat there is for the chips and the salsa. DEFINITELY WORTH THE PRICE

I used to love this place. My granddaughter and I ordered often.
However, the last 2 orders I was extremely disappointed.
The mini tacos i always ordered were noticeably subpar. But today, they were only half filled.In the past they were packed full of meat.
Today, we thought they may have given me the wrong food, as the bag was much lighter than usual. They got it right, I had ordered mini tacos with extra tomatoes, and that's what was sent. But the ingredients had 1/2 of what they normally had.
Sorry Valle Luna, we won't reorder.

We both enjoyed the meal. We were seated right away but went during off hours. We went there often when we lived in Glendale but moved to Tempe 30 years ago. It was a nostalgic visit and food was as good as we remembered. Decent value given the left overs made a second meal for each of us.

Had Pork Fundido for lunch.
I usually get a Chili Relleno or Pollo Fundido when I get Mexican food.
Tried the pork Fundido today.
My new favorite.
Our server was awesome.
Chip, salsa, and drinks were always full.

Not sure why this restaurant continues to allow dogs in the dining area, that are clearly not "seeing eye dogs" or dogs trained to provide a medical service. This isn't Europe. This is America and we have health standards and rules. I wonder how long it's been since the health department has been in there to inspect? The manager needs to buy a clue and stop letting people in with their tick infested mutts. Enough already.

Visited on 10/31/2021-- We were seated right away but as soon as we sat down the server made a comment to the hostess. "Really? I was going to leave." The hostess told us she would move us somewhere else. Then the server said, "It's okay, I will take care of them."

I told the hostess to sit us somewhere else. I did not want to sit in that girls section.

Sadly, my mom noticed all this and refused to eat after that.

All the while the server looked at us with a big fake smile.

Valle Luna needs better salsa. They have great food excellent service but the salsa just has tomatoes in it and taste just like tomatoes. So I gave you a salsa recipe that's excellent.
2lbs tomatoes
1 LG onion
2 jalapeno peppers
1/4 cup cilantro
1Tblsp black pepper
1tsp salt
2 tsp garlic minced

Pepe's border tacos is excellent. Nostalgic ambience inside the restaurant. Service is very good. I strongly recommend this restaurant.

Our server and the service was wonderful, our dinner was delicious, however, the ending wasn’t great.
We ordered plain Sopapillas, and they took awhile to come out… so our server decided not to charge us, after all, for them, but when we got home… my mom poked at them after opening the box to see them “thick” like… and well… see for yourself—they came out donut like… 😒👎🏼

Really cute place. Really good service. The chip and salsa they bring were delicious. I got a create your own meal. It was average. Not to die for. If your going to have a good time in a fun atmosphere with some yummy chips and salsa and some average Mexican food you'll leave happy.

This place is consistently pretty decent. They are always packed, and usually have a wait. Join the waitlist before heading over. Margaritas are just ok. The Sonoran sauce is really good. Anything they call spicy is quite mild. Is decent for basic Mexican food. Their catering is generally a little better than average.

I can say the food was good but i will say that this place is supposed to serve Authentic Mexican Dishes but all the employers were not Mexican except two people and were all non Hispanic and in no way am i rascist or prejudice but i never been to a Authentic Mexican Restaurant that serves Mexican food made by white people. And the server in the bar area addressed my company and then didnt ask me what i wanted and he walked off and i told him "Hey arent you gonna ask me what i want or do i not matter? Never mind...i want another server" and he was trying to act like it was a mistake but hows that

I've been coming here my whole life and it's definitely a favorite!

First off they always have such a nice crew. From the hosts, to the take out crew, to the servers you can always expect a hardworking and happy team!

If you're one to care about this sort of thing Valle Luna, in my opinion, has the best chips and salsa around!! I always have to stop myself from eating too much of them before the food comes so I don't get too full on them but they're so addicting.

Now since my family and I have been coming here *forever* I've tried a great chuck of the menu and

Had to try Valle Luna again. So happy I did. The food was the perfect temperature, fresh and flavorful. Tequila was a generous pour. Service was spot on too. No complaints so I am happy to change my review back to 5 stars, assume they learned from the feedback and made the necessary changes to earn my business again! Good job. Glad to be back.

You know there are those days when you just need to go out and grab a meal. We are always looking for deals and when you sign up for their eClub just gives you more options. Today is BOGO and we were waited on by Charlotte. I think she is THE most cheerful server I have ever had the pleasure to be waited on by. She helps to give this location a 5 star rating.

Food was a great and generous portion provided. Enough meat and all the sides in the tray in which the food came.

Prices are very reasonable too. Love the food from here. After a long time, even my wife said that Mexican food was good. I am glad we tried from here for the first time. I would highly recommend trying this restaurant.
