Luna Playa — Restaurant in Winston-Salem

The place had a great ambiance and vibe. We felt so excited to get to finally try this place. Once we ordered we went to sit down. We were one of 4 tables in the restaurant. We went to 4 different tables and all 4 were dirty with salsa and crumbs on the seats and floor. The staff watched us walk back and forth to gather napkins and water to wipe our table and chairs off. Alright no big deal we thought, at least the food looks promising. This place was a huge let down. 3.50-4$ per taco that were skimp and overcooked with no flavor. We felt cheated. I ordered 3 tacos and beans. The chorizo was severely over cooked and dry with no flavor. The Al pastor was disappointing and flavorless, and the lengua tasted like it was boiled with no flavor at all. The beans were undercooked and flavorless. We were given 1 lime slice for 5 tacos. My wife ordered an Al pastor taco and agreed that it lacked flavor. She ordered a $4 vegetarian taco that was supposed to come with avocado and beans and did not have those in the taco. She sent it back and was met with an attitude. They brought her out a crane asada taco that she ate two bites of and couldn’t finish because it tasted like dog food. I tried it and agreed, it was not good quality. We ordered a kids chicken plate for our son. He couldn’t eat the chicken because it was so dry and was a choking hazard. His beans were undercooked as well.

Overall we will not be returning. Dirty, rude, and expensive bad food. 3 bad combinations. If they put more effort into their presentation, service and food instead of a DJ playing trendy music it might be better.

We were expecting greatness, sadly it feels like we got conned into an American taco trap of mediocre expensive food. Just go to your local hole in the wall taqueria. This place is for boogie people who don’t...

My wife chose here for her birthday this past weekend. I've actually tried coming here before but they had not yet opened, so we were excited to try it out.

It's counter service, so you order your food/drinks and wait at a table for them to bring the food to you. Staff there recommended I try the Mole Enchiladas, and since I couldn't decide on chicken or beef, she gave me 2 of each. My meal was delicious. The food was hot, fresh, tasty, and had a bit of a kick but not overpoweringly spicy.

There were some minor issues with the correctness of our order, which were sorted out. Both my kids and wife enjoyed their meals as well. I finished my wife's Al Pastor tacos and may order that for myself next time.

I like how this has more of an authentic (and not Americanized) feel of a Mexican restaurant than other places in town. It's not the fanciest place inside but offers a good meal. My wife and I both agreed that we'd come here again - maybe not for a special birthday meal, but would like to come back and try some different...

As a lifelong Texan, I take my tacos seriously. We tried Luna Playa Tacos today and were so happy to finally have found a place with delicious tacos that remind us of home. The restaurant is light, bright, and fun. For being only open two days, the service was great. You'd never would have known they just opened. Everyone was friendly, and our food came out quickly. We tried a little of everything, but our favorites would have to be the carne asada tacos, tacos de pescado and the fried quesadilla with steak. My husband ordered the chroizo tacos and he really loved it. The fried quesadilla reminded me of what we call a gordita in Texas. It was stuffed with steak and cheese, covered with lettuce, tomato and jalapeño. To drink we ordered horchata, watermelon Agua Fresca, topo Chico and a Mexican Coke. I also ordered the spicy margarita. It was strong and delicious, with a Tajin rim. Their fresh salsas in the salsa bar were delicious. We will...
