The atmosphere is very soothing. Parking is hard since it is downtown Durham. The food is good with decent portions but there are better prices elsewhere.

This time up on the plate was Luna's Restaurant. Highlighted by their sensational Peruvian chicken, "Pollo a la Brasa." This wasn't just any rotisserie chicken; it was a masterclass in flavor—perfectly marinated, incredibly juicy with a delightful smoky char, and wonderfully crisp skin. The accompanying sides of Spicy bacon collards and Black bean coconut rice were inspired choices, and the vibrant Aji Verde and zesty Aji Amarillo sauces elevated every bite to a new level of culinary enjoyment.
Don't miss the chance to try one of their expertly crafted Strawberry or Mango Mojitos from the bar. Luna's offers ample indoor and bar seating, along with charming sidewalk options, all within a short walk of public parking. Whether you're seeking a cozy date night or a lively family dinner, Luna's provides an excellent dining experience. Definitely on the next date night out in Durham. Great Job Luna’s

The fusion of Latin American and Southern food here is really fierce and unique. Every dish packed a huge punch and the cocktail list really surprised me as well.

Delicious chicken with super friendly staff. Loved their Peruvian chicken and pulled chicken. The drinks were meh, but the bartender had fantastic customer service.
It is a small restaurant, so it was packed but managed to feel cozy instead of cramped.

Luna is a cute spot just a few blocks walk from DPAC. I was very pleasantly surprised by the meal; everything was prepared and presented with more finesse than I expected. Both the Churrasco and the Arepas were excellent with generous portions and many layers of flavor. Given the rise in food costs I have to say that Luna's a great value these days.

It was okay. Our Ceviche tasted a little old/not fresh. The Chicken Empanadas were delicious, I would definitely come back for those.

In town for work. Chose this place based on reviews. Excellent choice! Fantastic customer service from start to finish. Everyone was friendly. Our server was excellent. The food was delicious. You MUST save room for a dessert empanada! And honestly the cost was shockingly affordable.

A pleasant surprise - while looking for a place to have lunch got mixed with the need to find cover from heavy rain. Luna's staff treated us like they knew us - in a good way. Spotless service and delicious food. No issues with modifications on our order. Great restaurant.

What an impeccable meal - totally hit the spot - and excellent service and dining experience. Our second time visiting this restaurant and it’s SO GOOD. I had two veggie empanadas and garlic kale - PERFECTION! Bae had meat and collard greens and black beans and rice. Yum! God, their collards are so good! Our waiter was very kind, and we enjoyed a great meal.
