Casa Luna Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Lodi

We went there with a friend who likes Mexican food. It was her 50th birthday and she had called ahead to see if we could book a table or section for a somewhat big party (about 10-15 people). She said that she was told they do not take reservations and we all just needed to show up and take whatever table was available. The place is small and most of their tables are gigantic booths. It was impossible to get our whole party to be close to each other. We mostly ended up at the bar. The staff looked at us like we were inconveniencing them and, even though, they were friendly with our orders, they did not attempt at all to make the sitting situation any better nor offer any alternatives. Most likely because there weren't many alternatives since the layout of the place makes it impossible to have big parties there. Lesson learned for us! The food was also not impressive at all. I ordered some sort of chorizo and rice dish and the chorizo was so incredibly salty, I ended up scraping it off my food because it was absolutely inedible. The mango margaritas were delicious! My friend ordered cheap shots for all of us or what she thought were cheap (regular Cuervo) and she ended up paying $8 a shot, which was outrageous! Overall I would not recommend this place for big parties and I would advise people going to stay away from the chorizo unless you like...

I love Mexican food but it's been several years since I've visited a place that really stands out. Casa Luna's menu offers several alternatives to the typical fare that you find at most places. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised with our first order starting with the guacamole rostizado. She enjoyed the quesadilla del jardin, and I tried the enchaladas jalisco. All were excellent choices with creative ingredients and flavor that really popped. Delicious! While I would have liked to see a mole option, there are plenty of other very interesting alternatives to explore in future visits. We did carry out and, having now seen the place, look forward to dining in. The biggest challenge to living outside of an urban area has been finding exceptional alternatives to pizza, fish fry, and prime rib. Casa Luna is a gem and I look forward to...

My burrito al pastor was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented, the bite I had of the carnitas was wonderful - the seasoning elevating the savory meaty flavor without overpowering it. I especially want to highlight the service, attentive and kind but mostly her patience with me attempting to practice my horrible Spanish. I don't know how she kept it together when I began by asking for "woman food" instead of the "best food" on the menu. If I ever get back this way again maybe woman food will be on the menu! The mojito was fresh and delicious and the margarita was quite pleasant. I love exploring this part of Wisconsin and this restaurant makes me want to...
