Grafton WI. Well, we made it over a month eating in for dinners. Not one dinner eaten out of the house and no takeout cheats either! On Saturday night, we stopped at Senor Luna in Grafton, WI. This little “burb” town north of Milwaukee has a nice small town feel. A few nice restaurants and lots of shops. Senor Luna is a two-location local restaurant. I would not recommend it. Here are a few reasons why:
- Atmosphere
- This place was more geared towards the bar. The dining area is small with only 12 tables or so. The colors were bright and bold. However, the lighting was so bright, it’s like you were in your kitchen with every light on at the same time. The tables weren’t adorned with anything. Just plain square tops with utensils ready to go.

- Food
- The usual chips and salsa were provided. Chips were thick (no complaint there). They were fried in house and some were so oily they left the roof of your mouth coated!! (There’s the complaint.) Some of the chips were so salted, they left my tongue sore. The hot salsa (tomatillo) and the fresh chopped salsa were actually pretty good. The cooked red salsa had a bubbly, fermenting feel on the tongue. Stopped eating as soon as I noticed that.
- I ordered a combination plate with a chimichanga and a few enchiladas. The rice and bean side were fine, nothing special. The enchiladas were made with corn tortillas and pretty good. The chimichanga, though had a decent flavor, did not seem fried at all. Rather, it was as though they brushed the flour tortilla with oil and baked it.
- Dale ordered tostadas. Unfortunately, they were made with the same fried flour tortillas that the chips were made of. The tostada was oily and chewy. Loaded with beans and chicken, Dale found the flavor off as well.

I do enjoy trying new places out. There are so many different kinds of food, so many ways to prepare, so many methods of service to try. I don’t regret trying this local establishment out. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend it and we won’t be going back.
