Great Central American food vibe. Not your basic Mexican food. The PUPUSAS 🤤they were🔥🔥🔥. Highly recommend the mixed ones. Tacos were not so great. The tortillas were kinda cold, not sure why but wasn’t worth getting upset with the waitress over. The waitress, was WONDERFUL, super friendly! She was dope. To top it off we got the hot chocolate and churros that was a $5 special, kids kept beg’n for, and I’m sooooo glad we got it bc daaaamn it was soooo yummy. The hot chocolate was made with fresh Hispanic chocolate. So good!

It's so darn difficult to find good Mexican food, but Luna Azul will leave you craving for more. I had the chicken mole with an excellent paloma with fresh grapefruit. Our server was kind and the entire party throughly enjoyed their meal. A little pricey, but given the rise in food costs, I didn't mind it as much. I also saw that they have a happy hour. :)

I highly recommend eating here. We were able to pick out a table right away and had the most delicious whipped guacamole and chips to start. Everything was so delicious! We had two empanadas to start: the mushroom and the chicken which were both stellar. I ordered the street tacos and got four varieties: pollo (chicken), al pastor, carnitas, and the award winning 3LP - each were so delicious in a variety of ways. My favorite was the al pastor and my husband loved his bite of my 3LP taco best. The horchata was fresh and sweet. Hubby ordered the Cali Burrito and looked like he was in heaven after his first bite! The salsa bar had at least eight different varieties that varied from spicy to mild. I personally loved the creamy Mild Zucchini, lime, and cilantro salsa (see photo). We were so excited about our delicious food that we even ordered a churro and flan to go and are looking forward to enjoying those when we get home (or on the way if we decide we can't wait)! If you're looking for delicious food, please give Abuelita's Kitchen a try! I think you'll enjoy your visit!! [Note: This restaurant was previously called Luna Azul and the owners are currently changing their name.]

As an amateur taco critic, 5 stars don’t come easily. These homemade tortillas were well executed and delicious. The signature 3LP taco is a mixture of carnitas and pork belly, the combo plays well with a balance of fat and flavor. To top it off the various homemade salsas ranged in spicy levels, the sweet habanero was rich with flavor and properly hot! Well done at least for the the taco plate, can’t speak to other items.

I really enjoyed Luna Azul. I visited on a Tuesday night with some friends. They have a large bar at the entrance and table seating in the back. We specifically visited because of the restaurant's Taco Tuesday promo. As of writing they offer 4 tacos for $6, $7, or $7.50 depending on the fillings. I went with an order of two chorizo and two al pastor tacos. The tacos were great. The meats were flavorful with nice seasoning. The tacos my friends ordered looked great and they raved about them as well. Because one of my friends ordered the 3LP, the waiter said Luna Azul had actually won a taco competition in Everett two months prior. Because of this my other friend and I ordered four of the 3LP tacos. I definitely understand why they won an award for the taco because it is a blend of chicharron, pork belly, and shredded pork and it just oozes fat and flavor. The big innovation is the crispy chicharron that adds a strong crunch adding to the experience. We all enjoyed it so much we're planning to return already. Also all the people working there were friendly and cool to talk to. I'm already planning on what I'm getting when I return.

I don’t ever eat Mexican food because I am Mexican myself so we cook Mexican food at home. But my friend from Argentina and I saw this place on tiktok and it is wayyyyy better than I expected! And I was expecting a 10/10! Great salsas, aguas frescas, arroz and frijoles and everything was absolutely amazing!

A rare 5-star from me. From the moment I walked in I was made to feel at home. True Mexican hospitality. I ordered the Camarones a la crema, which were mildly spicy, and came with 3 fresh, hot, fresh-made corn tortillas. The housemade pica pica was a nice way to add some spice to the dish. As a warm-up I was treated to housemade corn chips and medium spicy salsa. To top it off, if you to come work on your Spanish it's fine to do that here, welcomed even. I will be back!

10 Stars ☆ Amazing food. Love all the vegan/vegetarian options. Beans & rice are vegan which is hard to find. Great service. Will be back for sure. Family run too♡

Updating my review because wowowow. One bad delivery experience vastly pales in comparison to the few extremely good visits I've had since. The empanadas fresh are amazing, and the tacos, the tamales, the fajitas, the quesadilla...it's all so good. Only things that were a little off the mark were the Chile relleno which had no gooey cheese or batter and was filled with a beet and other veggie filling. Very... unusual. And the salsa Verde bean dip appetizer. It wasn't bad, just not worth it. But wow. I'm definitely going to keep going here for a loooong time. It's potential dangerous living so close. Stopped in tonight and it seems they're on a rebrand. The sign reads Abuela's and their website ordering was paused. So...maybe new things on the horizon, but they said it's all the same menu and family running the show.

Best birria tacos I've had in Seattle! Luna Azul is a little family owned shop in Greenwood but I think they're currently going through a rebrand so it might be called something else. I went with my friend for dinner on a Sunday and the place was completely empty. It's a pretty dim and kinda dingy entrance, so we missed the restaurant the first time trying to look for it. I came here because so many people recommended their birria tacos to me, and they did not disappoint. The carne asada one was so filled with flavor, and I also ordered a pork belly taco, which was a new experience for me! I think I preferred the carne asada one overall, but it was still interesting to try. The stew was deeply flavorful, while the tacos were crisp and cheesy. The plate came with rice and beans, and while the rice was ok, the beans were pretty lackluster and seemed overly mushy. Still, the tacos outshone whatever it was that the beans seemed to lack. Knocking off a star just for appearance/cleanliness. There were a couple of flies and bugs buzzing around while we ate, but it could be related to the front door being left open.

Cozy little mom & pop shop located in Greenwood. Food was fantastic and didn't lack flavor, the service was fast and friendly. Was a little disappointed they don't serve chips and dip but I was satisfied none the less and will be back.

100% the best Birria Tacos I have ever had. The place changed their name to Abuelitas kitchen. Cozy laid back area with amazing food and great salsa and hot sauces. Totally recommend trying.

I've been there multiple times, while food is pretty good the overall experience leaves far more to be desired. PROS: - Good location on Greenwood - seating available inside at the back - full bar seating and area - salsa bar is awesome and made fresh - homemade family run cooked food, the soft tortilla is the best I've ever had in Seattle - best guac and hot chips I've ever had - Daily specials offered CONS: - Good luck finding their entrance which is not well lit and super dingy. The interior is damp and not well lit and not inviting. Dining area is super cramped. - Inconsistent food and service -- when we went on a holiday, everything tasted out of this world. When we went for Tuesday Taco, it was just okay. The tortilla doesn't always taste freshly made. - Extremely overpriced for what it is. I'm always appalled at the cost and the fact that they charge you so much money for guac and chips when at this price it should come with all their foods. There's no reason for typical Mexican food to be this expensive especially since they're not making anything different - Taco Tuesday used to be a good deal, first it was $8 and then $10 and now it's 4 for $12. Did the quality go up? Nope. - Do not care for their rice or beans which again is just okay. - I went with my vegan friend who asked to exclude cilantro from their tacos, the girl brought both tacos with excessive cilantro. Servers here are absent-minded, inattentive and don't know how to treat tables or set expectations. - No bussing service for the expensive price! You're expected to get everything yourself from water, salsa, utensils to napkins. This may have been due to Covid but given that no one in the restaurant wears a mask I just don't buy it. If you can't do the bare minimum don't expect a tip let alone repeat customers. - Parking out front is not available so expect to walk. Recommend you try it out and see for yourself.

We popped in here for a late dinner on a Saturday night. Sat at the bar and ordered some delicious home cooked food and munched on complimentary chips.

Food is great. We have only done take out, so no feedback on ambiance. My favorite is the Cielo y Tierra tacos.

Yen D.

Yelp
This place is great for Taco Tuesdays. You can get 4 tacos for $9 here. They also have agua frescas. I got their watermelon one which was good. For tacos, I got the Luna Azul special which had pulled pork and chicharrone which was good and the shrimp taco. Service was quick. Cons: during hot days, it's better to find a place outside..there's no outdoor tables. Inside it is still too muggy even with the fan.

I failed to take photos because of how hungry I was (will try again next time, there will be a next time). All I can say is walking in you do not feel like you're in Washington state anymore. I'm from the southwest and have been missing Mexican food baaad. I got the chicken Chile relleno and it comes in a creamy tomato sauce. They use oaxaca cheese in the Chile relleno and the sauce covering the plate was perfect. The beans were good everything was good, nothing was dry. Bf got the Cali boy burrito with hongo and it was delicious too. There's also a little salsa bar and we were given hot sauce. Everything was devoured. I want to eat the entire menu but have a feeling I'm going to keep ordering the chicken Chile relleno because it's my new favorite thing.

Best Mexican food I've had in Seattle. Quesatacos were flavorful, crispy, and overall delicious. The birria taco came with a cup of consommé (fantastic for dipping or just sipping on its own). The dish also came with rice and beans which were good too. Reminds me of the food my mom used to make. The salsa bar had several different types of salsa. The ones I tried had a wide range of spiciness and were all flavorful. Also the waiter was a cool dude. Will head back soon

Ordered a good sized order "to-go" for a client lunch. 'Restaurant is Latino and eclectic. The food was as described and just as important the food was hot and ready to go when I arrived. The service was better than average and they even helped me carry it all to my car! My customers were very happy with their fish tacos (ordered the grilled). The guacamole was very good and so were the chips. The "to-go" forks and napkins are small and cheap so if you are getting a "to-go order" you might be happier if you supply your own utensils. I would definitely try Luna Azul again. Good prices and Fresh Food.

Holy cow! This place is legit! Stopped in for a quick bite. Had the nachos with steak. The food is amazing and the service was wonderful! Junior and Angie are the owners and they will make you feel welcome and serve you food that will feed your soul! Everything's made in house and it shows, it's that good!

Luna Azul was a great choice for take-out on a Monday evening after work. Ordering from the walk-up window was fast and easy. Two entrées, an appetizer, and two side orders were all ready in about 12 minutes. Ceviche was peachy, and the chicken with red mole really hit the spot. The chile relleno, meh, it was a bit ho-hum, but still got eaten without complaint. The guacamole was a bit spicier than I had expected. The beans and rice that came with the red mole and relleno were flavorful. The ceviche with shrimp was especially appetizing, and it went well with the pico de gallo, corn chips, and tortillas. I would definitely go back to Luna Azul again and stick with the ceviche.

This Mexican restaurant is a hidden gem in the Greenwood neighborhood. I've been here a few times to try different dishes and I liked them all Their service is great: friendly and fast. The food was served nicely with big portions and reasonable prices. Make sure to try their salsa and hot sauces! So good!!

Had dinner here with my friends, and this has become my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. All of the food is extremely delicious. I HIGHLY recommend getting the quesa taco plate with 3LP tacos and the chile relleno is also insanely good!!! The people here are also so nice & cool. We had a great time! :)

Yelp
Decided to grab a order to go for dinner tonight. Ordered The Jay Park Burrito with a side of chips and guacamole. The burrito itself was tasty and filling. Definitely worth taking a short drive to Greenwood. They gave a generous amount of guac (very fresh) to compliment the chips. The staff were very friendly and got my order pretty quickly (no more than 10 minutes), great service. I would recommend if you're around the area. I look forward to another visit soon to try out other dishes.

So my family and I went there this past Saturday to have a surprise dinner for my mom for her birthday. Well we got there along with several other people and your sign said OPEN AT 5pm FOR DINNER so 5pm came... NOBODY OPENED THE DOOR OR THE ESTABLISHMENT: it was closed!! I was so excited to try the birria tacos. Terrible. Left your customers waiting outside.

Let's just say this Saturday morning I had a meal here at Luna Azul and I'm still waiting for the taste of it to show up. Decided to check out this Greenwood establishment before heading to the Woodland Park Zoo down street. Much to my displeasure I can't really I enjoyed with my prawn fajitas. First of they use the cheap tiny prawns for the meal which have very little taste. No guacamole was added to my plate for some reason nor sour cream either. When you need to add salt to the meal for taste you know it's a poor product that was served. Then I waited 15 after I finished for a bill to pay. I realized I was never gonna get it so I ended up at the bar to pay. Oh well lesson learned on Luna Azul and that's don't eat here again.

Luna Azul was one of our stops on a recent vegan taco crawl, and they have great vegan options. We tried the: Cielo y Tierra, Garden, and Hongo tacos, and a vegan version of Chile Rellenos. I didn't care for the Chile Relleno - not because it wasn't good, but I don't care for it usually. My friends really enjoyed it and even ended up making tacos with all the goodness on the plate. The tacos however were OMG sooo good and cannot believe they are vegan. The tortillas are fresh, but they unfortunately didn't hold up too well to the amount of ingredients in the tacos. The taste of all the tacos were amazing, and the Cielo y Tierra was by far my favorite. The owners are very sweet and their story is so heartwarming. They are a little shop in Greenwood, that you definitely need to check out cause they have been flying under the radar.

Looks unassuming on the outside, but tastes like the Mexican food back home. The staff were really nice and helpful, will probably be back!

The owner is so awesome!! Can't wait to try it even though I live in Renton .... we sh it was closer but I'm sure so worth the drive

So good. It's a true family business, with some of the best tortillas I've had at a restaurant. When I complimented the waitress, she looked really proud and said her mother was the cook. The salsas...are delicious. I ate more just to try them all. They're so balanced in their flavor profiles--I don't normally like chipolte salsas, but their's was wonderful, with the smoky offset by sweetness and spice. I can't wait to go back.

Business appears to have closed. Showed up at the middle of their operating hours, but the building was locked and empty.

Decided to try this place after recently moving to the neighborhood. Grubhub screwed up our order but they were very cool and rectified things SO quickly. I'm *very* picky about my taco salads and we accidentally got two, I can't have sour cream so my partner had that one and I had the other and let me tell you, ITS SO MUCH FOOD. I stored it over night in tupperware and IT WAS STILL CRISPY. I'm impressed. Pro tip: order directly through the restaurant, support local.

I understand things are tough with covid, but I found not 1 but 2 bugs in my 3LP tacos tonight. I'm really disappointed because the food here is DELICIOUS but 2 instances of bugs in the same single taco I just don't know if I can trust the quality of the food anymore

Their enchilada gordita is really good. And then have good margarita choices. Place is a little old but has character. Parties of 6 or more they dont split the check fyi.

A bit of a drive for us, but Luna Azul's menu is one of the finest we have seen in a Mexican restaurant here in the Seattle area, making the trek worthwhile. We talked with one of the staff and she told us that their dishes are based on family recipes from the state of Guerrero and also, by way of an uncle, from El Salvador (i.e. the pupusas). Luna Azul has been in business since March 2016. We came on a weeknight and this almost literally a hole-in-the-wall restaurant was packed to the rafters. The TVs were broadcasting a Mariners game, which I did not anticipate. I might expect a Guadalajara Club Deportivo Chivas game, but not the Mariners. We ordered a chili relleno, pork pozole, pupusas and aguachiles. We would have ordered Tres Leches cake for dessert, but on this day, they were out. I will just go ahead and say that Luna Azul's poblano chili relleno was the best I've ever eaten. The cheesy and tangy guajilla sauce on the exterior was delicious and had a most excellent texture. I also loved the mix of ingredients inside the chili: very abundant shredded chicken, Oaxaca cheese, spinach and other vegetables. The chili itself had been dipped in an egg batter then cooked. The gal we chatted with mentioned this was Luna Azul's most popular dish. The pork pozole was also very good. What JP especially liked was the side plate of fixings that came with the pozole: cabbage, oregano, limes, chopped onion and what appeared to me to be either paprika or chili powder. Lastly, we ordered an order of three chili poppers. They were delicious (especially the dipping sauce), but the chilis themselves were very spicy hot. The aguachiles were quite good (if you like cilantro). They came with (in addition to a surfeit of finely ground cilantro in a sauce) cucumber, onion and prawns. The "mixtas" pupusas were stuffed with a blend of pork, beans and cheese. The pupusas were accompanied with a "curtido". Curtido is a slaw-like mix of cabbage, carrots, onion and vinegar. For libations, JP had a tasty margarita and I went with a Negra Modelo, with shots of Hornito tequila on the side. Service was very good, especially for getting our drinks. However, there was a little gap in service at the end, but that was a minor blip.

You can't go wrong with Luna! The service is great and the food is impeccable. My favorite are the tacos (can't go wrong with the al pastor or the carne asada) or the chipotle chicken dish. This usually comes with a side of rice, beans and tortillas, but on the "secret menu", you can sub it out for pasta noodles and breadstick! Droooolll..... The sauce is creamy with a kick of chiptole and the chicken- OMG it is so tender, it literally falls off the bone. There's also a special 'Taco Tuesdays' menu- who doesn't love deals?! This is a family owned and operated restaurant (go support local!) which I love. They are the sweetest family! Due to Covid, they made a walk-up window so it's easy for your to order and wait! Don't forget to get a shot of tequila while you wait! You can also order drinks to go.

Finally had the opportunity to try Luna Azul In Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood. There's a few tables and counter seating in the front, but more booths towards the back of the former La Botana location. Friendly staff and clearly well patronized by friends and extended family. Lots of greetings coming in and leaving the restaurant. Solo diners, up to groups of 8, including families were there during this visit. Started with a Pacifica ($4), notable wide range of beverages available, and chips and salsa ($3.50, not charged on bill) while waiting for the entrées. Entrées clearly are cooked to order with fresh, flavorful ingredients. Nothing is smothered by cheese. Pair of chicken enchiladas with tomatillo sauce and pair of cheese enchiladas with red mole sauce, both with moist rice and tasty beans. Really enjoyed the latter, delicious black beans! Both entrées selected were $11 each. I'm a newbie to posole, I've only tried it at some chichi place in Ballard, Hi-Life also in Ballard, and Hecho in Phinney Ridge. Wanted to try it as a cup ($4.50) but ended up with an entire bowl complete with tortillas, onions, cilantro, avocado slices, and lime wedges. Served piping hot with toothsome hominy, generous tender chunks and shredded bits of pork, all in a pleasant broth where the predominant note of oregano. However, I should have been charged $9 instead. Too full to try the Tres Leches, their version of Tres Leches Flan, or interesting looking Flower Jello. Next time, for sure! Slight miscues were no followup during our meal after the entrées and posole were brought to our table. That meant no more ice water refills for me. Kind of forgotten seated in the back, so had to go to the counter to pay the bill. And of course the undercharges for chips and salsa and the posole. After writing this at a nearby cafe, will stop by and drop off a pair of Lincolns to make up for this deficit...got to pay fair market price for well executed food overall! They're so new, that the receipt still has their predecessor's name on it. Clearly, the entire crew at Luna Azul are succeeding at this turnkey operation with their vision of flavorful home cooking. Updated: Stopped by 2 1/2 hours later and turns out chips and salsa are free when dining in. But I insisted on them taking the single Lincoln to make up for the full order of posole. Again, nice folks, delicious cuisine!

This little place was very busy with take out but we were the only lunch customers inside. The food was very good and there was 7 kinds of salsa. The service was great and we would be happy to eat their food again.

This is my favorite taqueria around. The carnitas tacos are bomb, and so are their rice and beans. The rice is so flavorful, and the carnitas are always melt-in-your-mouth tender and generous on the tacos. Their homemade corn tortillas are fluffy and delicious. All their sauces are incredible. I love the "magic sauce," which is cilantro jalapeño aioli, and their homemade hot sauce is the best I've ever had. It is HOT. Excellent, friendly service, and high quality delicious food. So glad they're in my neighborhood!

I had the enchilada verde with pork, it was so good! This place really does their salsas well.

No need to miss San Diego Mexican food anymore. The Luna Azul is just what Seattle needs. We asked if they could make carne asada fries and they gladly made it for us. (I think he called it a Cali Boy + nachos.) The owner also recommended an Enchilada gordita which was simply incredible. It's similar to a tamale, but with amazing, melty, stringy cheese, Enchilada sauce, and decadent carnitas. Boyfriend ordered an Azul Azul, fantastic blue Curaçao drink, and the owner recommended me a Mango jalapeño fresa. I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is probably the best drink I've ever had. Freshly peeled mango, ripe, sweet, and the jalapeños added a perfect warm kick in an otherwise cold drink. (Now, this drink is off the menu and he said it took him 10 minutes to make and it was a special that night. Be polite, and go on a slow weekday and you might get lucky. I went on Monday.) The owner was extremely friendly and really made it feel like a gourmet dining experience. He didn't have a problem making substitutions for us, and his "leave it to me" recommendations knocked the experience right out of the park. I left very impressed with Luna Azul. It's the only thing that's fully satisfied that itch for Mexican food in Seattle. Its authentic, and moreover, it's absolutely delicious. I will be back.

TLDR: Filling. Check out that jello! Old school restaurant with upbeat Mexican/Spanish music playing in the background. More seating and booths in back. Lots of abstract art on walls. Complimentary warm chips and cold salsa! Tasty! Food took a bit to come out but it was very fresh and just made. An entree may not look like much but trust me, it's very filling especially with the complimentary chips! Carne Assad Tacos: beef was nice and tender--went well with the provided verde sauce. One of the tastier tacos I've had in a long time Comes with black bean dip and rice. Tip: use leftover rice and beans with your complimentary chips! Antonia's Flower Jello: so very pretty! I was sad to destroy to eat. Very lightly sweetened and very thick jello consistency. Try it out!

I love going to the Greenwood neighborhood. One of my favorite breweries is in this neighborhood and the nearby restaurants are always a great experience. Luna Azul is no exception. I swung by here a while ago after visiting that brewery I mentioned and got a great beef burrito smothered in their green sauce, making it "wet". The burrito's ingredients were extremely fresh and flavorful. A very satisfying meal! I also got some great chips and salsa here which made a great snack too! I would love to come back. Their taco options look fantastic and on a hot, summery day would make a perfect meal while strolling out and about in the neighborhood!

My boyfriend and I visited Luna Azul for dinner and found it to be a satisfactory experience. We came here an hour before closing and when we walked in, the place was like a club! It was dark with neon lights and music blasting in the background with a bunch of people standing around the bar. At first we were about to sit at one of the tables in the front room; but fortunately, the bartender asked if we planned to dine in and if so, to pick a seat in the dining room in the back. Once we sat down we were given waters and complimentary chips and salsa, and service was fast throughout our entire dinner. Huge plus here at Luna Azul! Unfortunately though, food was A-OK. While my boyfriend ordered the Carne Asada Plate, I had the Camarones al Mojo de Ajo, which was recommended by our server after I asked about the shrimp dishes. It didn't take long for us to get our grub and we first noticed the huge portions! The Camarones al Mojo de Ajo's main sauce was the chile butter, which was surprisingly not spicy at all. It was a bit of a disappointment since I was expecting to taste the chile flavor from the sauce, even a hint of it - but none. It also was seasoned with garlic, which I hardly tasted, so another letdown. But I did like the plentiful amount of mushrooms that came with the shrimp, as they were perfectly cooked. And most importantly, I did like the shrimp, which was the big winner here, and what counts the most! For an $18 entree though, I wish I had just enjoyed it more so than I anticipated. But if you do come here, ask for the housemade hot sauce on the side! There is A LOT of heat from it and it added the much-needed spicy element to my dish! And since you'll love it after first bite, they do sell bottles of it. Overall, Luna Azul was hit and miss; therefore, I would most likely try a different dish here if I visit again.

I wanted to give an above average rating because I love authentic family restaurants... Unfortunately this place was just average. What I loved: place feels really authentic - nothing fancy, a small intimate space that is seemingly run by a family. When you walk in you can see two ladies cooking meals in the kitchen so it's clear all your food is homemade. Waitstaff were also very nice and attentive. Second highlight was the horchata... Flavors were amazing, super tasty. Third: homemade everything... But especially loved the two kinds of homemade hot sauce and corn tortillas! The bummer: the food just kinda lacked flavor. Well-prepared and fresh but flavorless. We had to add salt and pepper and lime to the guacamole, and pour hot sauce on fajitas and tacos to give some more flavor. So, would I go back?! When in the area yes... But wouldn't go out of my way. Nonetheless love to support the small family run spots!

YUM! I ordered the Cielo y Tierra Tacos on a corn tortilla and it was phenomenal! I wanted something different aside from the usual vegetarian taco and these did not disappoint. If you're nervous about the beets don't be, there are so many flavors in this taco you can barely taste them. I was also really hungry and ate it so fast I didn't really pay attention to everything in it but I guess that's a good thing. Overall this meal was a home run! ..Maybe minus half a star because I didn't have a fork so after I finished my tacos I had to eat the rice and beans with my hands like a barbarian. Still highly recommend.

One of the best happy hour menus in the area! The tacos were delicious and I really enjoyed the salsa bar. Service can be a little slow since it's a small local joint, but I would definitely recommend.

Nice and cozy place to try out tacos and their martini. Tacos tasted really delicious . They have the spicy sauce to try out if you like to challenge on your spice levels . Staff was quite friendly and interactive . It's worth of a try. Thai place gets busy for a taco Tuesday after 7.00.

I just came from lunch at this restaurant but it has a new name now. I think the name is Abuelitas but it's the same owners and menu. The people are incredible, friendly and welcoming...it's like going home. The food, OMG the food! We had gorditas that came with beans and rice. I have never tasted beans that good any where. The lady that made them said it was her brother that made them originally. They have a salsa bar with about 8 different salsas. I won't tell you my favorite because I want it to be there the next time I go there...and I will be going there soon. Today gorditas but next time who knows what it will be but I know it will be incredible.

This place is a hidden gem on Greenwood Ave. I've only ever gotten the food for takeout and have never been disappointed.

The best Tacos in the city! It's a very family like vibe at Luna Azul. The amount of food to cost ratio is easily the best in Greenwood if you're in the area on a budget. I personally get the street tacos pretty occasionally, but the carne asada burrito is easily my favorite! Luna Azul is perfect for a quick bite on the go and your supporting local business!

The vegetarian puposas were tasty, and the curtido was nicely prepared. My husband's enchiladas in red sauce were fairly average. What bumps this up to a 4 is friendly service, the chips and salsa that come with the meal for free (relatively unheard of in Seattle), and the fact that parking around here was much easier than expected.

Mediocre food, with incredibly uncomfortable and odd seating. The booths are really old, dirty and not well fitted to the room or the table. We moved a few times before finding a place we were willing to sit. The drinks were overly sweetened margaritas. The food was fine, came out moderately closed. Don't be fooled by the photos. Someone talented took them from angles that made the place look bigger and cleaner. It's not a place I will return.

Luna Azul is a little hole in the wall that is very easy to miss when driving around the Greenwood area. The service was amazing; it is very apparent that the people who work there love their job (I'm guessing it is a family run establishment). It was so good that we had to stop and compliment them on our way out for how happy they made us. We ended up with a bit of a wait on our food so they gave us complimentary guac, another great point of service. The food was good, maybe not my favorite in the greater Seattle area, but I will be back in support of the friendly people who work there.

Tried Luna for the first time today during lunch and I will definitely be going back asap! I believe Danny helped me out and he was very friendly and efficient. Food was delicious and I cant wait to try more on the menu. Danny's sliders...perfection!

Coming from San Diego, found this spot to be a pleasant surprise. With an awesome Taco Tuesday deal, it is for sure the cheapest sit down meal we've had in Seattle but also good tacos. Recommend the pork belly, 3P and the carnitas tacos. I had the gorditos and they were fine. I'd come back for sure and try some new things. Also just a warning, their hot sauce is pretty freakin spicy. It's what I imagine hot sauces are like when you reach the 5th or 6th wing on Hot Ones.

I just had tacos that nearly brought me to tears. This place makes truly outstanding tacos. Truly truly outstanding.
