"As the younger sibling of La Luna in Pilsen, La Lunita is a fitting name for this Mexican spot in Logan Square. Unlike its sister spot’s taco-focused menu, La Lunita has large plates and entrees like al pastor octopus or steak with chicatana peppercorn mole sauce, plus appetizers like yuzu-lime shrimp aguachile." - john ringor, nick allen

La Luna’s Little Sibling Debuts This Weekend in Logan Square | Eater Chicago

"Opening Saturday, June 14 in Logan Square, this second restaurant from Samantha and Corina Sanchez brings favorites from their Pilsen spot with some deliberate changes: tacos will be wrapped in corn tortillas made on the premises rather than sourced from El Milagro, and the menu from chef Marco Colin emphasizes platters and entrees — think chicken mole, more steak preparations, and a grilled-and-smoked octopus made on a wood-burning grill. The beverage program highlights recently accessible Mexican wines and carefully chosen spirits from small and Latin-owned producers, and every drink can be made non-alcoholic so those avoiding booze have thoughtful, full options rather than a token substitute. The design borrows the signature flower tile from the Pilsen location, features a garage-door-style front window for circulation (no patio), and seats about 80 inside with room for 20 at the bar. Sanchez sees this as an opportunity to establish a distinct hospitality company, Culture Hospitality, and to bring the neighborly, connected energy she found in Pilsen to Logan Square." - Ashok Selvam

The food is vibrant, spicy, delectable with a modern, hip atmosphere (that I'm unable to enjoy to the fullest in my ripe old age of 37 years. The noise is extremely lively on a Friday night. Try an off night for a first date...). There wasn't a dish we tried that I didn't enjoy. The leche de tigre on the crudo is crack. Cocktails are well balanced. Mexican wines are interesting. Service is friendly. I'll be back.

I came with a group of 5 so we could try a lot of different dishes, and everything was delicious. The tuna crudo, octopus, and NY strip were my absolute favorites, but everything was so flavorful and well balanced, you can’t go wrong. Great ambiance (sophisticated yet chill) and margaritas, too! Will definitely come again soon!

Overall, a really wonderful addition to the neighborhood. It's good they have specials and happy hour because the price point is pretty high. But the food is excellent quality and really beautifully done. Great space, wonderful staff. The steak taco special was extraordinary tasty. The broccolini, guacamole, and prawns were truly so so flavorful and delightful. The only thing we didn't like was the aguachile negro which we thought really lacked depth in flavor, especially compared to everything else we were served. It was pretty bland. Cocktails were solid, and they have an interesting wine list as well. I'll definitely be back again and look forward to trying more of the menu.

My husband and I went to La Lunita earlier this month and had such an amazing meal. The service was friendly and attentive, which honestly made us order more than we originally planned—but it worked out for the best because everything we tried was delicious. We started with the yellow fin tuna crudo, esquites, and the grilled oysters. The tuna was so fresh, and the esquites packed with flavor, I usually don’t even like oysters, but these were hands down the best I’ve ever had—the seasoning and spice set the bar so high. For our main, we shared the bone-in New York steak with a side of broccolini. Both were cooked perfectly, and the sauces really took everything to the next level. We also enjoyed a few cocktails throughout the night, each one unique and delicious. We finished with the Tres Leches Pastel de Mango with ube ice cream, which was surprisingly light and the perfect sweet ending to such a big meal. La Lunita delivered on all fronts—food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. 10/10 recommend, and we’ll definitely be back soon!

We happened upon this place by chance & were delighted with the experience. We started with the guacamole & fresh chips and were amazed with the presentation. The octopus was cooked to perfection, and the highlight for us was the prawns - just the right amount of spiciness and the sauce truly made the dish. All in all, it was quite delectable - an experience we would love to repeat again.

We found out by walking past that La Luna has a new sister?!! Went for dinner that night. For their opening weekend, everything was smooth, delicious, and truly delightful. Food was soooo good, not surprising. These oysters will be ordered every single time we go back. They opened yesterday and the staff seemed really prepared and ready to go. So excited to have a taste of La Luna in Logan!

Great service, very accommodating! Love that the window opens up. Very good cocktails. Look forward to coming back and trying their wines from Mexico. Octopus and Baja tacos were my favorite! The guacamole is very tasty.

Excellent new spot in Logan, higher end Mexican food in a fun and casual setting. The steak was excellent, and so was the tuna crudo.

The 3 of us came here for a weekday dinner earlier this month and had a great time trying different items from the menu. The restaurant has a focus on seafood items, but there are also several wonderful non-seafood options that are part of the menu as well. Guacamole (10/10)- Fresh, great texture, great taste. Quesillo Fondue (9/10)- This app was really good! It just wouldn't be a must for me to re-order again due to the other awesome menu options that might be more interesting. Baja Style Fish (10/10)- Comes with 2 tacos per order. Great flavor and worth ordering. Octopus (10/10)- All three of us really enjoyed the octopus. Incredibly tender, well seasoned, and fresh. I didn't try the lamb quesabirria, but my friend was raving about how good it was. We all enjoyed all of the cocktails we ordered (Margarita, Paloma, Cocktail Dos). The food, atmosphere, and service all made it wonderful first visit to this newer restaurant in the neighborhood.

A very good friend of mine decided we would come here for my bday brunch a couple of weeks ago. She mentioned she wanted to come here as it was relatively new...I believe they opened in June. This is the sister location of the very popular La Luna in Pilsen. They didn't have signage yet aside from the thing places put on a street to let you know they have a happy hour, but you will know the place when you see the yellow building. We came in around noon on a Saturday and I noticed they had records on the back wall and a DJ was spinning some classics (Digable Planets upon my request). We had a very nice waitress and unfortunately I dont remember her name but she was very nice. I ordered the chilaquiles and it was pretty good. It includes fried tortilla chips, eggs over easy, queso fresco, chives, pickled radish, crema and salsa. You can add skirt steak for an additional $14...no other meat options available. Was good as mentioned but would have been even better with chicken in which I was told is not an option. Drinks were spectacular as I had the: Cocktail Tres (mezcal, green key, lillet blanc, pineapple, lime and felernum), Cocktail Dos (mezcal, tequila, lemon juice, fruitful coconut, habenero infused bitters and amaro montenegro) Cocktail Uno (gin, lemon, agave, orange bitters, sparkling wine and italicus) I liked my experience here and would definitely come back!

The food here is in the same league as Daisies, Andros, Mi Tocaya, etc. It was among the best food we've had in Logan Square. The tuna crudo is out of this world, the lamb tacos melt in your mouth. The margarita is the perfect balance of tart and sweet. I want to go back and try everything on the menu, however... We couldn't hear ourselves think the entire time. At 8 pm on a Friday night while I was sinking my teeth into what I truly think could be Michelin-starred food, the entire establishment was vibrating to Area Codes by Ludacris. There's a new crop of loud vibey "restaurants" in the neighborhood that are packing in 20-somethings in droves until late at night with their pretty decor and bumping music you can hear down the block. La Victoria and Mucho Gusto know what they're about. They want to give you something you can post on instagram and tell a good story about the next day while you eat a mediocre plate of enchiladas and sip a sugary Paloma. La Lunita has all the ingredients to be something far more special. At the moment though she's like the hot girl in school who makes straight A's but dumbs herself down to sit at the "cool kids table." Switch the playlist to some Rodrigo y Gabriela at an acceptable volume and sky's the limit.

Overall, a really wonderful addition to the neighborhood. They haven't had great signage up yet since it's still early but you can't miss the bright yellow painted brick. It's a really beautiful spot. It's good they have specials and happy hour because the price point is pretty high (about $100 pp but could be less depending on what you order). But the food is excellent quality and really beautifully done. Great space, wonderful staff. The steak taco special was extraordinary tasty. The broccolini, guacamole, and prawns were truly so so flavorful and delightful. The only thing we didn't like was the aguachile negro which we thought really lacked depth in flavor, especially compared to everything else we were served. It was pretty bland. Cocktails were solid, and they have an interesting wine list as well. I'll definitely be trying some of those next time but this time I stuck to margaritas. I'll definitely be back again and look forward to trying more of the menu. So far this is almost on par with my other favorite elevated Mexican spot in Chicago, Tzuco. Great for date night, small groups (probably max I would do here would be 4-6 people), dinner with parents while they're in town, etc.
