Excellent dining experience! Extra ⭐️ for the service.
We (3) tried them out for late lunch, which turned out to be an early dinner.
The place was almost full, so got a high-seating table inside, which we really liked.
We ordered the Del Mar Paella right away before placing order for other items— freshly made Paella takes some time to cook.
We ordered their Tuna Ceviche and Gambas Al Ajillo (shrimp) per server’s recommendation. Both small plate items were absolutely delicious. Special mention for their homemade taco chips.
One of us tried their Paper Plane cocktail, and liked it.
Paella arrived just as we were finishing the small plates. We had opted for the saffron rice instead of squid ink rice. The Paella was one of the best we have tried out across many places. Portion size and amount of meat was generous. It was good as a late nite snack even without reheating. Nice place to revisit during our next trip to SLO,

I guess the best way I could explain it would be latin mexican inspire. It was our first time in the food was very good. The atmosphere was great service was excellent. I’m still not sure what we had but I know it was good. Had a nice bottle of wine to go with. It was an enjoyable evening. I would recommend it, especially if you’re in the mood for something a little different.

Great as always. Its been awhile since I have been to SLO, but we always stop by Luna Red. This time for dinner and drinks to celebrate a dear friend’s Birthday.
Food is still amazing- dont sleep on the dates and order 2! Skip the cheese, they are so delicious on their own. Ceviche and of course paella. The chicken one is a crowd pleaser, I personally love the seafood one- some in our group didnt care for it, because of squid ink rice so keep that in mind.
My cocktail was well balanced and
See you next time

No time to visit Spain? No problem! Just stop by Luna Red for some tapas and Sangria or maybe some delicious seafood paella! The service there is exceptional and you’ll be greeted with a smile! The bar is ready to mix you any magical cocktail you can dream of and enjoy while you enjoy the creek view below from either indoor view or outside on their expansive patio. Located next to the SLO mission and nestled into the heart of the downtown shopping area, it’s a must for your lunch or dinner dining experience! And, it’s important to note: I’m HIGHLY GLUTEN INTOLERANT and they were more than happy, willing, and able to not only meet but EXCEED any/all of my dietary requirements/needs!!

I must start by saying our server Katie was outstanding. I have been in customer service since I was 12 and have worked as a waitress, at an elite and high end clothing store and a nurse for 42 years in total and feel I know a lot about what excellent customer service should be (and I rarely see it in the world today). Katie exemplified it. She has a wonderful way of talking to customers and executing. That she reassured me if the (seafood) paella was too salty (as two reviews said) they would “make it right” was all I needed to hear to order it. And it was the best paella I have ever had. I am a first generation American who comes from a long line of amazing Italian cooks and a very good cook myself so I think I am a good one to judge. Thank you so much. We will be back!

Good food and service overall, just wish the Mediterranean bowl had a bit more shortrib. Hummus / bread paired with it was great.

Luna Red is one of the restaurants that has earned my respect.
It is a restaurant that contributes to society and the community.
During the pandemic, it unified other businesses to overcome difficult situations.
After the Hawaii wildfires, it launched a donation campaign.
It helped LA wildfire victims through a fundraiser.
When the city wanted to increase the parking fees, this restaurant secured the best deals for residents in SLO.
I recommend the paella dish. Friends who have been to Spain all praised it highly.
We highly recommend Taco Tuesday. We especially like the fish tacos. Each taco has a large piece of fresh fish and fresh-grown vegetables. They are very tasty.
There a weekly special deals that are also very good.
If you are craving a good chocolate dessert then we endorse the chocolate mousse.
It is a beautifully presented cake with rich and deep-flavored chocolate. The bottom has a moist and tender crumb texture that gives it an elegant texture.
Overall, Luna Red is an outstanding restaurant with great quality food. The server team is very attentive and knowledgeable.
Last, I want to give a special thanks to this amazing restaurant that helped the community with your kindness and generosity without hesitation. This is a wonderful and valuable asset to the community and the residents in SLO.

The outdoor vibes were so lovely for an intimate fun dinner. Lights, heat lamps, and red chairs! The service was great. We ended up with four tapas to share.
Brussels sprouts – so GOOD
Ribs – bit spicy pretty yummy
Ceviche halibut – maybe should have gotten the tuna instead
Bravas – great seasoning!
Drinks fun!!

The food was outstanding especially the paella and kaula pork tacos. We had reservations for a party of six and were seated on time. Waitress was there quickly taking our drink then food orders. After the food was service we didn’t see much of our waitress, probably busy with other table. Overall I can’t wait to go back and try some other dishes.

My husband and I came to Luna Red for Valentine’s day brunch, we wanted to try their Beignets, they were delicious. We also ordered eggs benedict and toast with salmon and avocado, they were very tasty. Excellent Bloody Mary and coffee too. Highly recommend their brunch. Service was superb!
