"Reimagining Spanish dining with Moorish influences, Mi Luna, which operated in Rice Village from 1998 to 2018, returned to Houston at the Montrose Collective in 2024. Signature dishes like paella Valenciana, a flavorful assembly of seafood, meat, and chicken, and the Gambas al Ajillo (shrimp in lemon garlic olive oil) pay homage to owner Youssef Nafaa’s roots, while new offerings such as the pescaditos fritos, or fried fish with lemon zest aioli, expand the culinary repertoire. The tapas menu encourages sharing, with options like fried potato croquettes and a sweet and savory Moroccan chicken pie." - Brianna Griff
