Mi Luna, a vibrant Spanish tapas spot in Montrose, serves up flavorful Moorish-inspired dishes and lively weekend flamenco, perfect for shared bites and drinks.
"This new Montrose Collective restaurant recently launched its new brunch service, meaning Spanish tapas with a Moorish influence and breakfast twist are at your fingertips every weekend. Diners can indulge in its patatas bravas with eggs and chorizo, Moorish pancakes served with honey butter and almonds, brioche French toast topped with vanilla custard and fresh berries, and pan con tomate, toasted bread topped with garlic, eggs, and shaved manchego. Step up the experience with a house sangria, cocktail, or espresso." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Once located in Rice Village, this Spanish tapas restaurant gets a second life in Houston’s Montrose. Though many dishes have returned, including classics like the paella Valenciana, pulpo con patatas, potato croquettes, and the signature sangria, diners should take special note of the dishes that reflect the Moorish and Moroccan heritage of owner Youseff Nafaa. Diners can enjoy bastilla, tender shredded chicken, cooked egg, and cinnamon-roasted almonds wrapped in filo dough and dusted with powdered sugar for a sweet and savory flavor bomb, or the tender lamb shank that is slow-cooked with spices, quince, and honey. Weekends are especially lively. Catch flamenco performances from 10 p.m. to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, and find yourself serenaded by the acoustic guitar on Saturdays and Sundays." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Long-time Houstonians might remember Mi Luna from its Rice Village location that closed a few years ago. Mi Luna is back in a new Montrose spot and ready to serve you tapas. If you’re a fan of ordering 50-something small plates in one meal (and who isn’t), this Tex-Mex restaurant has that many dishes, like patatas bravas, gambas al ajillo, and more.
