Fresh Mexican/Southwestern Is The Fastest Growing Segment In The Fast Casual Restaurant Industry... Growing 40% Faster Than Burgers & Pizza!

Welcome to the Moon!

The Desert Moon is providing consumers with the flavors, color & spirit of the southwest! Through its use of cool Southwestern colors, trademarked landscape designs, howling coyotes and desert cacti, there isn't a more distinctive "Fresh-Mexican" brand in the market. Indeed, driven by its chef-developed menu, there isn't a fast casual operation that delivers more flavors, more boldly than the Desert Moon!

A Healthful, Fresh Alternative

Differentiating itself from its typical Mexican fast-food counterparts, Desert Moon menu offerings are a fusion of Fresh Mexican/Southwestern recipes. Prepared in our full view/open kitchen, our guests are offered a choice of Charbroiled Lean Steak, Skinless Chicken Breast, or Fire roasted vegetables any of which may be wrapped in a soft, warm, flour or whole wheat tortilla with a combination of high quality, made-from-scratch salsas, ranch beans, yellow rice, guacamole or fresh vegetables. The result is food that is unique in the fast casual venue, extremely flavorful and sought after by quality driven consumers. To compliment our food, some Desert Moon restaurants offer "signature" hand-shaken Margaritas and a selection of Mexican Beer.
