About

Chef/owner Jo Lerma-Lopez's love for food is clear in every morsel that emerges from this kitchen. The name, which means "moon" in Spanish, doubles as an acronym reflecting the team's ethos of "L(local) U(unrefined) N(natural) A(authentic)" cooking. Ingredients are carefully sourced: Rancho Gordo beans, Mary's free range-chicken and house-made staples like chorizo, stocks and sauces all play a role. Fresh tortillas are pressed in-house, and the results shine across the menu, whether in crisp Baja-style fish tacos or sizzling parrilladas served with handmade nixtamal corn tortillas and deeply flavored charro beans. The cooking feels vibrant, generous, and rooted in tradition. The lively cantina setting features a full-service bar and an open-air patio. Having earned its stripes as a neighborhood favorite, it's no surprise that a second location is thriving in nearby Campbell.
