Angela's Review of Mari Luna Bistro


Ok, so am I about to show my ignorance… probably. But I’ll say it anyway. I had no idea that there were different ways to make guacamole. I think my favorite part of this dining experience was that discovery.  We tried two wonderful preparations, one sweet and one savory. I have every intention of returning and trying out some of the others.  Another neat part of this experience was that we went as part of a large group, which those of you who have been following us know is not the norm when we are to write a review on a restaurant, nonetheless is always fun. This restaurant has beautiful décor. I am a color girl and this space is wall to wall color. Beautiful blues, yellows and oranges mixed with dark wood. The water in the glasses appears to have a blue tint. We could not figure out if this was because of the blue ceiling or a blue rim around the bottom of the glass. Not that it really matters, but if you go, shoot us a line and let us know what you think J. This place has a wonderful party atmosphere, perfect for big gatherings, I think, with a wide open spaces, filled with tables, the sections delineated not by walls but by changes in elevation.  One thing that you must remember before eating here is that this is more your traditional Mexican food, rather than the Tex-Mex Americanized kind, so if you are looking for those sorts of strong, bite you back flavors indicative of that sort of Mexican, you may be disappointed, as while still flavorful, many of the dishes here are on the mild, fresh side. Overall, I give this restaurant ♪♪♪ as the food is good, solid fare and the servers are friendly and attentive, neither crowding you nor leaving you to your own devices for hours on end.
