Luna Azul

The food here is quite mediocre. I have eaten here at least 4 times and each time I leave muttering to myself as to why I didn’t remember how lame it was the last time. Not even bad, just lame.
I actually like the rice and beans here. There I said it. But, yeah, hard to like much else.
It’s never gotten me sick. It does fill me up. They get your order to you fairly quickly. I can’t give the place 1 star because I can actually see myself going back. But eating here is like eating at your cousin’s house, when you know she’s a really mediocre cook but you’re there anyway, so you aren’t expecting anything but to get filled up and not die. Yeah… That’s made of win.

The food is so bland. I ordered some steak tacos and all I could taste was black pepper. My friend and my boyfriend both got burritos and they had a tough time finishing their food. The salsa that comes with the chips looks like black pepper mixed with water and it taste like it too. Their mild salsa consists of tomatoes and cilantro no peppers what so ever. I would never come here again. You are better off at Taco Bell. Taco Bell has better flavor then Luna Azul.
The prices are super expensive for such crappy food.

If you want food for before the movie or so, well it suffices. It is food court food but warning its expensive for the crap it is. The food took a good bit of time to get there and well, its not that hard.
Its really not well prepared, the food lacks luster and taste. I got a burrito and it was really pathetically sized, and not at all messy which is a bad sign for burrito. So you can guess I am not a very happy camper.
The chips are the best part of the meal and that is just sad.

I don’t think this review will make a difference. But whatever.
Food tasted terrible. I ate 33% of the burrito while holding my nose. Then threw out the rest. Was more expensive than the average burrito. Odd given the quality.
To the loser in charge: get out of the business.

Ate here because there was a convention at Moscone and there was no way that I was going to spend $ 12 for their food (ew).
I usually don’t eat authentic Mexican food, so I don’t know about this place’s quality or authenticity.
Also, this is a food court «fast food» place, so I wasn’t hoping for filet mignon or Kobe beef.
It seemed a little steep… $ 7 for the taco plate, but it is Metreon so expensive rent I’m sure. The two beef tacos tasted fine and my stomach was satisfied. However, regular big white guys will not be satisfied with the small portions of the taco plate.
Quality was like Baja Fresh, but a little more expensive for no real good reason.
Food came fast. Stomach is fine. Not expensive. Would come here again if I only have 30 min to eat lunch.
Would never eat here for dinner.

This place is A-​OK. Its actually VERY decent food considering you’re in a food court. We were able to have lunch: burrito and a beer for under $ 10.
Had to request lime with the Corona tho– Isn’t that a given?

I think this place is disgusting. The tortilla soup was $ 5 for basically red salt water. The chips were round and from a bag. So bad. Disgraaaace for SF!

It used to be pretty bad. I would get the classic nachos, complete with movie theater cheese and refried beans, would load it up with jalapenos from the salsa bar and reminisce about middle school.
Not any more. Now, it is just plain bad. They decided to change the classic nachos to use shredded cheddar cheese (melted in a microwave), the worst beans on the planet, and the salsa bar is gone. As if the movie cheese wasn’t cheap enough?
On top of that, it IS expensive for the cheap food they serve. I’m done with the war zone/​food court that exists within the failing Metreon.

Looking for the worst Mexican food in the entire city?
Well, I’m sure there’s places worse than Luna Azul, but thankfully, I haven’t been there. They are simply the token mexican place in what’s left of the Metreon. If you were expecting much, then you’re a complete idiot. The food is bland, bad, and in small portions. To add insult to injury, it’s also overpriced.
Let’s get specific…
Let me just say I caught a break here, because we went at 11:30 and I wasn’t that hungry. So I opted for the Nachos, which were flied flour tortilla chips, microwaved jack cheese, diced tomatoes, onions, and a scoop of sour cream and guac. No real flavor except for what was left of the cheese, and honestly I just would have had some lance crackers. $ 7 for this culinary gem, which was so loaded with salt let me just say I’m glad I don’t have high blood pressure, because I’d be dead now.
John H is not a «foodie», or even a picky eater. When I don’t finish a plate, that means it was pretty awful. I didn’t make it through these nachos, and would have been better off trying the movie theater or bowling alley. At least then I would have got the cool gooey orange cheese and could have pretended it was quicksand and the nacho chips were soldiers. You guys all do that, right? No? Huh? You’re no fun. Kind of like everything in the Metreon right now.

BRRRRR.
Five bucks for a corona? Seriously? UGHHHH.
I swung in hoping for a margarita while beating the rain, but alas, had to settle. They were out of Modelo (and there’s no use getting me near Coors Light, I’m not trying to get NASCAR buzzed).
Boo.
Yes, I still had a few.

The only reason that I have given this 2 stars is that my kid ate her food plus mine! She usually doesn’t eat beans, but she WAS starving and gobbled up her «quesarito» and my beans and rice.
I came into the Metreon hoping to get firewood pizza, and was disappointed (sort of) to see it gone. I debated between Buckhorn and this place. I had the nerve to think that we’re in SF so it can’t be bad. I was wrong. I mean, I’ve certainly had worse (thank you Topeka, Kansas), but it was pretty tasteless. I did not find a salsa bar, nor was I served any salsa, and my chicken tacos were very bland. I thought that maybe I would have been better off ordering the Korean burrito, but the BART ride home told me that the chicken tacos were a bad enough idea. It felt like someone was stabbing me in the stomach.
Waaay overpriced, which I am sure is due to their rent at the Metreon, but really not worth it.

Korean BBQ burrito… two words: bad idea. Imagine KBBQ with eggs, potatoes, and cheese… Yeah, I know. Yes, I ate the whole thing.

So this guy i have been dating asked me to meet him for dinner. we met at Yuerba Buena Gardens… we decided to head to this place cuz it was close to where we were and neither one of us could make a decision.
I ordered the the Super Burrito with steak…
i SHOULD have ordered the Super Burrito with STEAK!!!
OK, first off.$ 12 for a burrito and a soda. i was expecting something the size of my forearm… well, actually in all fairness. the burrito was about the size of a forearm… LITTLE BABY JESUS“S FOREARM!
secondly…I think there were about five little scraps of steak in the burrito…
i bit into it about six times before i found a niblet of steak… by that time, 87.53% of my burrito had been eaten…
If it werent for the fact that i was there with a cute boy (I have a feeling his review is right behind mine!) …i would have considered the whole venture a failure.
Luna Azul… henceforth you shall be known as Puny N’Bull!

Can I take the 5^th on this review?
After some «deliberation» between me and my date (handsome guy btw with a totally cute dog!), that involved:
1. Picking places on opposite ends of the city
2. Nervous should the other one pick Bucca De Beppo
3. Watching his dog freeze
4. Watching the hair on my legs stand up and freeze, for some insane reason that I wore shorts (?) and I’ve lived in SF like, 10 years?!
5. NOTE: Wear shorts if you feel your date likes muscular legs. Applies only to men… actually applies only to gay men… actually applies only to gay men with runner legs.
I ordered the Grilled Chicken Quesadilla:
1. In total I counted about 15 tortilla chips… hey! its the economy showing up on my food plate and there’s nothing like thick, dry and bland chips to kick off a hot date!
2. The two dollops of guacamole and sour cream respectively were… umm… oh wait! I’m still waiting for my face to «un-​pucker».
3. The quesadilla was «A-​OK». I was too busy staring deeply into my date’s eyes to notice the synthetic cheese, the flat out over done chicken and the limpy quesadilla.
Why did I give it a 2-​star rating?
1. My date’s dog (cutey!) sat with us all the time and they had no problems… or maybe they’re hard up for business… ANY business.
2. We sat there for close to 2 hours chatting and they did not mind… or maybe we were just trying to digest the gourmet meal we had just injested… wait! I was too busy looking deep into my date’s eyes, remember?
3. At one point the ratio of gay men to ROW was 4:1 which was an interesting observation.
4. Mr. Handsome Date had me at «Mexican…»
5. The fact that our 4^th date survived a place like this… good sign!
After doing our «walk of shame» as we exited the Metreon, we vowed over kisses to never go back there again… ever.
… so great place for a date, eh?

This place makes Baja Fresh taste like El Farolito.
I have had some bad food court burritos in my day (yes, I know that is an oxymoron. what can i say; i have a problem), but I can’t say that any of them were quite so expensive ($ 10.14 for one burrito and water?) or so tasteless. Even the chips were stale and oily. Yuck.
Rounding up to two stars since the seating area was clean and the staff was relatively friendly.

I hate giving 1 star reviews as much as I hated the dinner I regretfully had here prior to a movie.
This is NOT mexican food… it’s terrible and way overpriced. I ordered the carnitas burrito ($ 9!) and there was nothing fresh or tasty about it. My movie companion ordered the chicken nachos and it literally had cheese sauce (as in what they have at 7-​Eleven), not-​so-​good-​looking chunks of chicken and other canned/​microwaved ingredients that were not worth even sampling. We wasted $ 25 on 2 awful orders. the best thing about the meal was the bottled Dos Equis and the salsa bar (at least the salsa was good).
Save your money for Buckhorn, Long Life or anywhere else in the Metreon— seriously avoid this place unless you crave the worst attempt at mexican food ever.

Hmmm, Deciscion 2008: Food Court Edition.
It was close to the office where my friend V was working, so he met Shereen R. and I for lunch and we talked about our careers (the ones we haven’t started yet, but are much closer to having than in the past) and other reminders that we are not the people we were six years ago. We’re… adults. We work in law firms and have Real Relationships (well, not me) and talk about Concepts instead of indie bands. It’s surreal.
The fare offered is Mexican food for white people/​tourists from the Midwest who think authentic Mexican food is just too «spicy». Sort of expensive ($ 12 for mediocre cheese enchiladas and a soda), but this little food court probably does a lot of tourist business, or maybe convention business, so I understand.
Two strange tourists who were seated next to us decided to bust out the Nikon and take a few shots of us eating. Clearly she saw the opportunity in this epic display of our New Adultness.
Ironically, Luna Azul does not carry Blue Moon beer. They’re missing out on that opportunity.

Luna Ahhhhcrap!
I’m sorry, unfortunately I randomly picked an outrageously unsatisfying «MEXICAN» restaurant. So I pass by this place all the time, and figured that I should give it a shot. I’m embarrassed & upset at my decision. In fact, I feel embarrassed for the Mexicans working there (don’t they feel bad for the food?). I’m not Mexican myself, but boy even I know this is WAY off from authentic Mexican food.
Ok, so I tip toed in (take note no one is even eating here on a Sunday afternoon) a $ 9 burrito better do me some justice: so I chose the Cajun burrito. Verdict: I was unsatisfied and still hungry after my meal. I could’ve created this crazy concoction myself, and served on dixie paper plates? Dry as a desert, no juice sauces oozing out, and get this… an extra $ 3 for chips & salsa??! Thanks for the stale chips!
Don’t trust a Mexican restaurant that serves a Chicken Pesto burrito… really, they had it on their menu! But clean eating area, and got helped right away (figures we were the only ones in there!).
Best part: One star for the Mexican Hat Dance song playing. OOooooh that song made the place SOOO authentic… *sigh*

Here we go! A new neighborhood, 20 minutes between classes — I am looking for something that resembles food. FAST!
The Metreon is across the street. I check out the food court. There’s Luna Azul with a good, cheap taco special. A chicken taco and a soft drink for $ 5.25.
I tell the clerk I’m in a hurry, and the cook has my taco ready just about the time I sit down with my soft drink. Tasty, cubed chicken breast with a mesquite grilled flavor, lots of lettuce, moist tomato, on two soft tortillas. YUM!
There is a lot more on the menu. I’ll be back.

It may not be the best place for Mexican food, but if you’ve got a craving, it’ll do. Located in the food court of the Metreon, Luna Azul offers you some traditional basics: burritos, tacos and quesadillas. There is a variey of tortillas to choose from (spinach, sun-​dried tomato, etc.) and a salsa bar offering some kick to your meal. Shrimp quesadilla is my favorite.
Not like the food from your local taqueria, but not the worst either.
