Downtown Montgomery is about to get a lot more flavorful with the upcoming arrival of an authentic Mexican restaurant. A prominent space that has long stood vacant along Commerce Street is set to become Luna de Mexico.

The brand-new eatery will make its home at 79-A Commerce St, breathing new life into the address previously occupied by popular spots like Mellow Mushroom and 79A.

While an official opening date has not yet been announced, crews are currently working hard to transform the venue with a fresh, modern look.
