Norwegian Cruise Line Los Lobos Menu & Dining Guide
Los Lobos is Norwegian Cruise Line’s Mexican specialty restaurant, combining traditional Mexican dishes with contemporary presentations and ingredients. The menu ranges from tableside guacamole and tacos to carne asada, enchiladas, fajitas, seafood and Mexican-inspired desserts.
Although the menu photographed here comes from Norwegian Luna, Los Lobos is not exclusive to that ship. Norwegian currently operates Los Lobos on Norwegian Luna, Norwegian Aqua, Norwegian Prima and Norwegian Viva, while versions of the concept also appear elsewhere in the fleet, including Los Lobos Cantina. Because menus and restaurant formats can vary by ship, the dishes shown here should be treated as a current example of the Los Lobos experience rather than a guarantee that every ship serves an identical menu.

What Is Los Lobos on Norwegian Cruise Line?
Los Lobos is NCL’s premium Mexican specialty restaurant. Norwegian describes the concept as traditional Mexican flavors with a modern twist, with dishes such as carne asada and freshly prepared tableside guacamole among its signatures.
On Norwegian Luna, Los Lobos is located on Deck 8 along Ocean Boulevard and offers both indoor and outdoor seating.
Norwegian currently lists Los Lobos on:
- Norwegian Luna
- Norwegian Aqua
- Norwegian Prima
- Norwegian Viva
Norwegian also operates versions called Los Lobos Cantina on other ships, including Norwegian Sun, while NCL’s broader Los Lobos information has identified the concept on additional ships including Norwegian Encore, Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Dawn.
For that reason, this guide focuses broadly on Norwegian Cruise Line’s Los Lobos restaurant while using the photographed Norwegian Luna menu as the detailed menu example.
Norwegian Los Lobos Appetizers and Salads
The Los Lobos menu begins with Appetizers / Salads, labeled Antojitos / Ensaladas in Spanish.
There are six selections ranging from seafood and tacos to soup and salad.

The Coctel Mixto combines:

Pescado al Estilo Nayarit
The Pescado al Estilo Nayarit features a grilled market catch accompanied by:

Because the menu identifies the fish simply as the market catch, the particular species should not be assumed to remain the same from one sailing to another.
More Los Lobos Entrées
The House Specialties continue with several familiar Mexican dishes, including cochinita pibil, fajitas and burritos.
Cochinita Pibil
The Cochinita Pibil features pork braised with orange and annatto and served shredded.

Adding a Lobster Tail at Los Lobos
The photographed menu offers an optional lobster tail supplement.
Guests can add a lobster tail to any entrée for $25.
Because specialty dining menus and supplemental charges can change, passengers should verify the price on their own sailing before ordering.
Los Lobos Desserts
The dessert menu continues the restaurant’s Mexican and Latin American influences with churros, tres leches cake, chocolate, guava and tropical sorbets.
Churros
The churros are accompanied by:
Dulce de Leche Caramel
It’s a simple finish compared with some of the restaurant’s more elaborate desserts and incorporates one of the most recognizable sweets on the menu.
Pastel del Tres Leches
The Pastel del Tres Leches is served with:
Coconut Cream
Tres leches is also one of the desserts Norwegian specifically highlights when describing Los Lobos.
Tarteleta Maya
The Tarteleta Maya combines:
- Guava gel
- Spicy 72% chocolate ganache
The combination of fruit, dark chocolate and spice makes it one of the more distinctive desserts on this version of the menu.
Sorbetes
Guests looking for something lighter can choose the Sorbetes.
Two flavors are listed:
- Hibiscus-Lime
- Passion Fruit-Piloncillo
Vegetarian Choices at Los Lobos
The photographed menu uses symbols to identify certain dietary characteristics, and several dishes offer meat-free options.
Notable selections include the Queso Fundido, Ensalada de la Casa and Chile Relleno. Fajitas also appear with a dietary symbol on the menu, although guests choosing that dish should discuss their desired preparation with the restaurant because the listed protein choices include chicken, shrimp and carne asada.
Guests with allergies or strict dietary requirements should always confirm ingredients and preparation with the onboard dining team.
Seafood at Los Lobos
Seafood appears throughout this menu.
The Coctel Mixto combines shrimp, scallop and fish, while the Camarones Picantes centers on grilled shrimp. Pescado al Estilo Nayarit provides a grilled market-fish entrée, shrimp can be selected with the fajitas, and a lobster tail can be added to an entrée for an additional charge.
That gives Los Lobos considerably more seafood variety than passengers might expect from a restaurant primarily associated with tacos, fajitas and carne asada.
How Much Does Los Lobos Cost on Norwegian Luna?
Norwegian currently lists Los Lobos aboard Norwegian Luna as a specialty restaurant with a $40 per-person cover charge.
The photographed menu itself does not display that base cover charge, so the $40 figure comes from Norwegian’s current dining information for Norwegian Luna rather than from the menu shown here.
The menu does explicitly show one additional charge: adding a lobster tail to any entrée costs $25 on this version.
Specialty dining pricing and inclusions can change, so passengers should check their reservation or NCL’s current information for their particular sailing.
Is Los Lobos Included in an NCL Specialty Dining Package?
Los Lobos is a specialty dining venue, and eligibility or inclusions can depend on the dining package attached to a guest’s reservation.
Passengers using an NCL specialty dining package should check the current package terms for their sailing, particularly for premium additions such as the $25 lobster tail shown on this menu.
A package covering the restaurant should not automatically be assumed to include every supplemental item.
Los Lobos on Norwegian Luna
Norwegian Luna has Los Lobos on Deck 8 along Ocean Boulevard.
One particularly appealing feature of this location is the availability of both indoor and outdoor seating. Guests can therefore enjoy the restaurant inside or dine outside along Ocean Boulevard when conditions permit.
Los Lobos is one part of Luna’s larger specialty-dining collection, alongside restaurants including Onda by Scarpetta, Le Bistro, Cagney’s Steakhouse, Palomar and Sukhothai.
Los Lobos on Other Norwegian Cruise Line Ships
Los Lobos is not a Norwegian Luna exclusive.
The full Los Lobos concept is currently identified by Norwegian on Norwegian Prima, Norwegian Viva, Norwegian Aqua and Norwegian Luna.
The history of the restaurant extends beyond those newer ships. Norwegian has also operated Los Lobos or Los Lobos Cantina aboard ships including Norwegian Encore, Norwegian Bliss, Norwegian Dawn and Norwegian Sun.
There can be differences in venue name, layout, location and menu between ships. For example, Norwegian identifies the restaurant aboard Norwegian Sun as Los Lobos Cantina, while Luna’s venue is simply Los Lobos.
That is why passengers should use this menu as a detailed example of the current Los Lobos dining experience rather than assume every item appears on every Norwegian ship.
What Kind of Food Does Los Lobos Serve?
Los Lobos is Mexican specialty dining, but the menu is broader than a basic taco-and-burrito restaurant.
This particular menu includes:
- Fresh tableside guacamole
- Seafood cocktail
- Chicken tacos
- Queso fundido
- Tortilla soup
- Carne asada
- Mole enchiladas
- Chile relleno
- Mexican-style grilled fish
- Cochinita pibil
- Fajitas
- Burritos
- Churros
- Tres leches cake
- Chocolate and guava tart
- Sorbets
There is a mixture of familiar Mexican favorites and dishes incorporating regional ingredients and preparations.
Is Los Lobos Worth Trying?
Los Lobos makes the most sense for passengers who want a sit-down Mexican dinner that goes considerably beyond the quick-service Mexican food commonly found aboard cruise ships.
The tableside guacamole is one of its signature features, while the menu provides enough variety for guests to build very different meals. One person could choose queso fundido followed by carne asada, while another could focus almost entirely on seafood with Coctel Mixto, Camarones Picantes or Pescado al Estilo Nayarit.
The desserts also continue the theme rather than falling back on generic cruise-ship choices, particularly with tres leches, dulce de leche, guava, piloncillo and hibiscus appearing across the selections.

Final Thoughts on Norwegian Cruise Line Los Lobos
Los Lobos gives Norwegian Cruise Line passengers a full sit-down Mexican specialty dining experience rather than simply a selection of tacos and burritos.
The Norwegian Luna menu demonstrates just how broad the restaurant can be. Tableside guacamole and queso fundido lead into entrées ranging from mole enchiladas and cochinita pibil to carne asada, grilled fish, shrimp and customizable fajitas. Churros, tres leches and tropical sorbets round out the meal.
Although these photographs come from Norwegian Luna, Los Lobos is a broader Norwegian Cruise Line restaurant concept. That makes this menu useful not only for passengers planning a Luna cruise, but also for guests considering Los Lobos on other NCL ships—with the understanding that individual dishes, prices and dining arrangements can change from one ship and sailing to another.
