Luna Mexicana Restaurant, Joliet

Luna Mexicana, a traditional kitchen, knows color. In its home of bright red bricks and multi-color table cloths, it brings-out shareable cocktails of octopus and crab—essences of lavender and red. With fat, yellow slabs of pineapple on the lips of mixed drinks already on the table, it serves platters of ceviche de pescado and chicken fajitas, both fluorescent with the greens of peppers and avocado.
