Living in Los Lunas

Restaurants

-

Southwestern cuisine is some of the best in the world. "Tex-Mex" combines the best of cooking from the Southern states with the food of Northern Mexico. TJ's New Mexican is a perfect example of what makes New Mexican cuisine so special, with a wide range of Mexican items with a Southwestern American twist. If you're in the mood for something a little more international, check out the restaurant with perhaps the most direct name in the world: Teriyaki Chicken in Foil, with a range of Asian and American delicacies.

Transportation

-

Los Lunas is small, but spread out, so it's definitely a car town. Los Lunas hosts an ever-expanding network of buses, which may have reached to Santa Fe and Belen by the time you read this. Route 66 and car culture are big in New Mexico, and while getting across town may take a little longer than it would in a denser city, there's always a way to get wherever it is that you're going. The only downside to transportation in Los Lunas is that it's not much of a walking town unless you're hanging around downtown. The extreme heat and sparse, spacious city planning can make a trip to the grocery store an all day adventure if you don't carry some change for the bus.

Los Lunas is a pleasant, smallish little town that offers a cozy respite from the world. With great food and great people, Los Lunas is perfect for renters who don't mind a little peace and quiet now and then, but don't quite want to jump right into the deep end of rural living.
