Latin Food Beltline: A Closer Look at Eclipse di Luna's Menu

If you’re looking for Latin food in Beltline, you’re probably expecting bold flavors and shareable plates. 

At Eclipse di Luna Beltline, the menu goes a bit further than that. Apart from familiar options, there’s a range of Latin-driven dishes that don’t always get the spotlight but add depth and variety to the table.

Join us to explore a few plates worth paying attention to as you build your order.

Empanadas to Start

Empanadas are often one of the first things our regulars order, and, at Eclipse di Luna, they carry more depth than you might expect. You can order them to start while you figure out what to order next.

  • Empanada de pollo includes roasted chicken, black beans, corn, mozzarella, and ají amarillo crema, creating a balanced mix of texture and flavor.
  • Empanada de vegetales keeps things lighter with corn, black beans, and cilantro crema, offering a good contrast to richer dishes. It’s also a great option if you’re keeping things meat-free.

Pulpo and Picanha Dishes

Other dishes bring a stronger, more grounded presence to the table, as they balance out lighter plates and help round out the overall mix. If you’re looking for something more filling, these are usually the next step.

  • Pulpo a la Gallega combines octopus with fingerling potatoes, chili oil, and ají amarillo purée. It works well early in the meal when you want something warm without going too heavy.
  • Picanha churrasco is served with chimichurri and potatoes, bringing a classic South American element into the menu. It adds a more substantial option as the table fills in.

Seafood Beyond Ceviche

There’s more to explore beyond the usual seafood picks. These dishes bring a mix of freshness and warmth, depending on your needs. Some highlights include:

  • Aguacate con camarones pairs shrimp with avocado, lime, and red peppers. It keeps things light and easy between heavier bites.
  • Mejillones are sautéed with white wine, tomato, and basil, adding a warmer and more aromatic option.
  • Fondue de camarones blends shrimp with melted cheeses and bacon, offering a richer contrast when you’re ready for something more filling.

Ordering across these options helps maintain variety without repeating the same flavors.

Fresh Vegetable Sides

Vegetable dishes play an important role by adding contrast and helping reset the pace between richer plates.

  • Coliflor rostizada comes with avocado purée, capers, and jalapeños, bringing both texture and brightness.
  • Bruselas rostizadas have a slightly sweet and spicy profile with chili honey and vinaigrette.
  • Ensalada de remolacha mixes roasted beets, citrus, and pistachios for a fresher, lighter option.

They’re also an easy way to balance out heavier dishes without overthinking it. 

Drinks to Order

Drinks follow the same idea as the food—you can start simple and adjust as you go.

Sangria is usually the easiest place to begin. A White Peach Sangria or Red Sangria works well with most plates and keeps things relaxed early on.

If you want something fresher, a Mojito or Caipirinha pairs nicely with lighter dishes like seafood or vegetables. For something a bit stronger, a Margarita is a safe choice once the table starts filling in.

Ordering Tapas

One of the advantages of ordering Latin food in Beltline in a tapas format is the flexibility. You don’t need to decide everything upfront. Here’s simple, effective way to approach it:

  • Start with drinks and a couple of lighter plates like empanadas or vegetables
  • Add seafood or warm dishes as the table fills
  • Bring in something richer, like picanha or fondue, toward the end

At Eclipse di Luna, Latin-inspired dishes like empanadas, pulpo, picanha, and seasonal vegetables give you more to work with as the table fills in.
