La Lunita

La Lunita is first of all, gorgeous inside. They have a record player, super comfy bar seats with a back, and a well lit back bar stocked with the essentials - tequila and mezcal. The bartenders made me their take on a mezcal negroni which had a little spice to it (like a slow burn, not like a jalapeno). It was so good! For food, everything was great; this restaurant is a pescatarians dream. I ordered the tuna tartare, scallops, and fish tacos. All had complex flavors with great depth and subtle heat. I’ll be back soon for Vino and Vinyl wine nights!

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!

Beautiful space, excellent food and great service. The menu is varied but I would recommend trying the salsas. We tried the macha and it was very unique. The cocktails were fun too and the tres leches was delicious. They had vegan tacos al pastor which enjoyed as well as other vg options.

When my friend and I entered the restaurant, the host did not greet us right away as she was facing the other side of the door. We told the host we were late for a reservation. The host proceeded to mention that she did a no show on the reservation and because of that we couldn’t get a table. Then she mentioned seating us by the window which we were fine with. She still kept my reservations as a no show after we mentioned we were late due to parking and that we wouldn't mind waiting and still kept it as a no show, which mind you that selecting no show has caused my account to get suspended. Even though, I still spend a good amount of money at the restaurant. We ordered the grilled oysters, since they were out of a couple of items already. We also got the octopus, and several other dishes. The cocktails were delicious and were presented well. Other than that, our server was super nice and took care of us really well. Second time back here since they opened.

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 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!

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.

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.

Ambiance is everything and this place got it! Music is great, staff was so friendly. Drinks on POINT!!!!! Have to try the espresso Orchata martini Soooooo fire! Check my girl Michelle at the bar... she is an amazing mixologist

4.5 stars This had been our backup plan when it opened the same weekend as Mucho Gusto. This should've been plan A, not plan B. The space is very sleek and minimalist, appropriate for a higher end Latin place. I didn't love our seats in the row of 2 tops between the bar and banquettes. We were offered a spot towards the front and I wish I took it. Seats aren't bad, but I felt crowded with staff and patrons walking by frequently. There's a DJ in the back; the place was loud, but not so loud we couldn't talk. My biggest challenge was our server because her voice was on the quiet side. The have little table lamps, which with the dim lighting is helpful for middle-aged eyes. We started with an appetizer that had maracuya in it. It was fantastic and not just because I'm a sucker for maracuya. For our mains, my husband got the mole enchiladas. I think it's an oversight on the menu because it doesn't say which protein comes with them. He really enjoyed his food. I got the Callo Del Mar, a scallop dish. This was fantastic and something I'd ordered again. They have a nice selection of liquors and an NA menu with lots of choices. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal here. The menu is not huge, but well selected. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes.

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!

Wow! This place is great!! It smells amazing when you first walked in and their playlist WAS something to write home about I was jamming! I wish that the waiters came around more often but service was pretty good! The food was pretty amazing! The presentation for everything we got was great! Gorgeous dishes that had a lot of flavor to boot! We shared the guacamole and then I got the fish taco and skirt steak taco both of which were amazing!! Pretty great HH deal with $8 margs and deals on food and we definitely took advantage of the $5 shots on Fridays! Overall a phenomenal dinner spot addition to Logan square!

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.

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.

Great service and solid authentic Mexican food. Octopus was stand out. Tried guac w homemade chips. Chicken with sweet potato and skirt steak tacos were good too.

La Lunita was absolutely incredible! The duck flautas were crispy, rich, and full of flavor -- easily one of the best things I've eaten in a while. The Al Pastor tacos were perfectly seasoned without being too spicy. And the lamb quesabirra... there are truly no words to describe how good it was. Tender, cheesy, and melt-in-your-mouth amazing. I can't wait to go 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.

Tale of two stories, interesting flavorful food dragged down by abysmal service. On a date night, two of us sat down and ordered 6 dishes, expecting the experience to take maybe an hour, hour and a half? Instead, within 10 minutes all 6 dishes were placed on our table all at once. Servers were literally trying to balance dishes on top of other dishes to make it work. No one acknowledged the issue. We brought it up to the manager, who apologized, but then functionally did nothing to resolve the issue.The server then came over to the table and blamed us! "I didn't know you would want me to course it out". Shameful The saving grace is that the food was actually really good! Prawns flavorful, quesabirria complex. The mole was a tad sweet, but besides that everything was of great flavor So, our date night was over in 40 minutes and $240 later. Not a single comped dish. This place had potential in the kitchen, but needs to desperately figure out front of house.

Amazing food - excellent octopus - loved it here! Tuna is also highly recommended. Max G.

Will definitely come again soon!
