Luna de Queso is celebrating 15 years in business. What started as a small cheese shop has expanded to now offer a wide variety of quality products. Luna works with numerous direct producers to ensure strict quality standards. A few months ago they opened a new location, in a building designed by Mauricio Alonso Carrera. Starting very early in the morning, people stop by until after 5:00 in the afternoon, delighted by the extensive menu and selection of drinks and pastries. But what characterizes Luna the most is their friendly service and the positive attitude and energy that customers can feel.
In honor of this milestone, we would like to introduce you to some of their team members. No doubt, they all agree on how much they have learned together.
