Taqueria El Lunar Brings Flavor and Community to Altura

The restaurant was born out of a simple dream. What started with a food truck quickly grew into something bigger. According to A.B, whose family runs Taqueria El Lunar, the idea came from his father’s passion for creating food and his vision of offering more than just quick bites. “He wanted to make a bigger space for more people to come in and a safe space for people in the area,” he explained.

Community response has been enthusiastic. Locals familiar with the food truck praised its authentic flavors and friendly atmosphere. One early supporter commented online, “If it's anything like your food truck it’s some of the best food I’ve had. Very excited for this.” That anticipation has translated into strong turnout since opening day.

The menu reflects the family’s roots in Mexican cooking while blending American favorites. Tacos, burritos, and tortas are staples, with specials like Taco Tuesday. The kitchen opens at 11 a.m., and social media updates frequently showcase daily offerings and promotions.

But Taqueria El Lunar is about more than food. The family emphasizes connection, engagement, and creating a welcoming environment. They actively encourage feedback on Facebook and Instagram, where their tagline playfully reads, “We’re your taco truck’s favorite taco truck.” Catering services are also available, extending their reach beyond the restaurant walls.

With its vibrant flavors and heartfelt story, Taqueria El Lunar is more than just another restaurant opening. It represents the journey of a family committed to sharing their culture and creating community in the heart of Altura.
