Luna's Tex-Mex Cantina opens in Honolulu

Aug 28, 2026

A new Tex-Mex restaurant has opened on Queen Street in Honolulu, blending Texas and Mexican cooking with local Hawaiian flavors — good news for downtown diners and families.

  • Luna's serves Texas- and Mexico-style food with island twists like lilikoi drinks, Mexican sodas, and deep-fried pork familiar to local eaters.
  • Steak fajitas are the signature dish, alongside a carne asada tostada layered with cheese, beans, avocado, and egg.
  • The place runs two setups in one: a fast build-your-own bowl, burrito, and taco line at lunch, then a full sit-down dinner with a bar.
  • It sits behind the Whole Foods at the Ali'i Tower base, with parking in the tower, across the street, and at Whole Foods.

Outlook: The restaurant is pitching itself as a family and celebration spot, betting on Honolulu's multigenerational households to fill tables at dinner.
