LUNA Bistro & Cafe Coming To MDR

There’s a large banner hanging on the front of the space at 1181 Mindanao Way in Marina del Rey, once home to legendary Jerry’s Deli, and most recently Kalaveras. The banner lets us know that LUNA Bistro & Cafe are setting up housekeeping at the once illustrious address. LUNA Bistro & Cafe hails from Bakersfield, and according to What Now, who has the whole skinny here, we are promised a “fusion menu [that] features pasta, burgers, sandwiches, tacos, coffee, and Mexican classics such as carnitas”.

Kalaveras Coming To MDR, And Just About Everywhere…

Cantina Urbana Kalaveras is sure having a moment.  They recently opened their location in Santa Monica.  Now a reader spotted a banner up on the old Jerry’s Deli in Marina del Rey that says they are taking over the long-troubled space at 13181 Mindanao.  And that’s not the end of the story:  They are planning a major expansion across SoCal.  Besides their current eight outposts, their website lists no less than 13 new locations in the works including Burbank, North Hollywood, and Long Beach.  Kalaveras offers an immersive El Dia de Los Muertos celebratory fast/casual concept with “Latin American culinary classics” and a focus on mixology.
