Dinner Inside a Cantaloupe

There are several Mexican eateries in the Ghent area of Norfolk, but (in my humble opinion) they're all topped by the South American restaurant Luna Maya. Topher & I checked it out last fall with our friends Naaman & Amber.

Situated in the middle of a non-descript strip of shops, it doesn't look like much from the outside. But the interior is a different story: the walls are so orange that you feel like you're sitting inside a cantaloupe! The warm yellow glow from the overhead lamps only enhances the effect.

What I Ate:
  • Pastel De Choclo Con Chorizo: sweet & savory Bolivian corn casserole filled with spicy chicken chorizo, topped with cheese, and served with rice - a hearty, delicious dish, creamy with just the right amount of spice
  • Margatini: Sauza Gold, triple sec, and a splash of sour mix, served in margarita glass rimmed with chipotle salt - so much fun for your taste buds!
The Scoop:
Luna Maya is located at 2000 Colonial Avenue (at 21 St.), Norfolk, VA 23517. They don't take reservations. They're open T-R 5:30-9:30pm, F-Sat 5:30-10pm.
