The Luna Mansion by Brittnay Blossom I f you are looking for a fine dining experience with a twist, then the Luna Mansion is the perfect place. This Landmark Steakhouse is located on Historic Route 66 in Los Lunas, New Mexico. What makes this dining expe- rience unique is the history behind the colonial style property. Thriving in New Mexico history and enriched with physical and spiritual memories of Don Solomon Luna, Josefita “Pepe” Manderfield Otero, Maximilliano Luna, Theodore Roosevelt Manderfield Otero, and Tranqulino Luna. All of these people played an important role in contributing to New Mexico’s history. The Luna and Otero families date back to the 1530’s, but it wasn’t till the late 1800’s the two families united into the Luna-Otero Dynasty. The owners of the dining establish- ment say that some spirits of the family still haunt the Luna Mansion today. Don’t just take my word for it, come experience it for yourself.
