Hear from our valued guests
By far the best Mexican food I have ever had from a restaurant. Seeing that my wife is Mexican, and a great cook, it is hard to empress me with a Mexican restaurant. I would recommend this place to all my friends and family.
Moonlight Cafe is a great place to eat and get together with friends and family. The 🌽 corn tortillas are freshly made and the caldo
The food and service is always good. They have salsa like no other place. The waiters are gentlemen. I've gone twice in two days because of the pleasant environment.
Came here with family for the first Time. Service was very Quick. Waitress was very Nice. The place was very Clean and Cozy. I had Eggs a la Mexicana with Refried Beans and Hash Browns. Red Salsita and Flour Tortillas. Coffee to Drink.
Great Mexican style breakfast...courteous waiter Brandon did a wonderful job of taking our order..I had the Huevos Divorciados for $7.99 .... awesome deal
LOVE their salsa and chips. Awesome little restaurant. Really liked their Tampiquena!! In the words of my wife “DELICIOUS!” Here for the WAC Volleyball Tournament and plan on going back for lunch and dinner tomorrow😁 …
Food was delicious and served pretty quickly which I appreciate because it was during lunch time. The service was awesome, the young man did a great job. Would definitely be back.
Absolutely Delicious Breakfast ! Fresh Hot Homemade Tortillas and Great customer service ! We will be going back soon !
“A delicious meal is a blessing, but the hands that serve it with kindness make it unforgettable.” 🌹🙏
Food was delicious! Fast service and kind staff!
