Mari Luna Mexican Grill

User Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

We went to this restaurant last night, it's a relatively small place with a very friendly atmosphere inside. The staff are courteous, the food is fantastic, the price is somewhat more than other places, but it is well worth it! It is definitely a place that we shall return to - regularly. Apparently they are opening another restaurant soon that will sell South American food - can't wait to try that one too.

This place is great! It's a little more expensive than other mexican restaurants in the area but it's steps ahead of the rest and it's totally worth it. The food was fresh and delicious. The portions were large. As soon as you sit down, you can tell it isn't like other mexican restaurants. They have a entree menu with lamb, pork, etc. in addition to tacos, enchilada's and the norm. This place is really a find and I will definitely go back!

I was introduced to this restaurant by a fellow librarian so my Husband and I thought would would check it out tonight.

You can't miss this place because of the color of it! (yellow building with the red awning). They have a parking lot out back but it fills up quick so they haver permission for their patrons to park in the lot for Rite Aide across the street.

The decor of this place reminds me of when we were on our honeymoon in the Mayan Rivera. Welcoming and warm clay style tile floors with bright colored walls and mexican art work.

Everybody starts off with a basket of multi-colored tortilla chips with a smokey salsa. We then shared a bowl of the Sopa de Tortilla con Pollo Chicken tortilla soup topped with cheese and fresh avocado ($5.00). This was the BEST tortilla soup I have ever had. Huge chunks of chicken, veggies and avocado. If you try it!

For my main entire I had the Chicken Chimichanga-hand-rolled and fried golden brown. Served with sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo ($9.00). This was perfect! The chicken was so juicy but it didn't make it soggy. The whole thing itself was not greasy at all. The rice and beans weren't over powering and had a great taste.

My Husband had the Carnitas Uruapan-Juicy chunks of pork slowly roasted for several hours and topped with onions and celantro; with warm tortillas. Served with sides of Mexican rice and frijoles al la charra. Guacamole, pico de gallo and sour crème on the side. ($14.00) I tired some of the pork and it was very juicy and had a great flavor.

They had a huge list of daily specials and desserts. They now have a liquor license so they do serve alcohol ( i guess this is new).

The food is VERY authentic and the BEST Mexican food I have had since being to Mexico!!!! Everyone one inside was family and makes you feel very welcome and at home in their "house"

We have heard it gets busy a normal dinner hors (we met there at 4:45 and got a seat right away).
