Privilege
We had a gathering after a family funeral today with 30 people. The service was excellent and the tacos, beans and rice bar they set up for us was very good. Excellent choice of locations. They provided a set price that included beverages and alcohol was paid by individuals. Worked out great!!!
MoreSuper good food, my favorite shrimp enchiladas anywhere! Love their green sauce. Service is great, and always friendly.
MoreGreat service and good food! Nice friendly atmosphere!
Alcohol was the best here I remember! Great place to take a date, never got hangover here
MoreGreat for family parties. Fabulous food
Great food and drinks, lots of different options been here a couple of times
Ordered our food, had a bit of a wait, food didnt come hot it felt barely warm I had to ask them to microwave my plate 😡 good really didnt taste fresh. Someone next to us on their day off at work was walking into the kitchen getting free bean dip and food before us! Ice tea tasted like water no brew flavor
MoreGreat bar area, and the food is good!
Only 2 stars because they have friendly servers and their camarones a la diabla were okay. Everything else gets 0 stars. Enchilada: sauce was bland, absolutely no taste. Chicken was dry and tasted old. Beans were salty. And lastly it felt like I was at a taco truck stand sitting on folding chairs. Probably shouldve went to one, Im sure it wouldve tasted better and for half the price.
MoreCelebrated hubby’s 60 birthday party there,food was great and service was awesome!! Everyone enjoyed themselves!!!!
MoreWe t to meet my sisters friends for lunch today. Thank you Kevin. Great food

MoreConsistent and good food, great friendly service, reasonable prices. 5 stars!!
My son took me for lunch. Great food, great service. Great atmosphere. Ty
I loved coming here for wedding sauce burritos. I can in for lunch yesterday and there was dead flies by the window we sat at. Definitely ruined our eating time. The quality of this place keeps going down as years pass, how sad. It’s usually americans who come in so they don’t notice poor food quality because they aren’t used to mexican cooking.
MoreBeen coming here for years grew up in the neighborhood. I always get the wedding chicken burrito
MoreI ordered 2 chimichangas to go. And when I got home I realized they only gave me one chimichanga 🙄. So I had to drive all the way back while the other chimichanga at home was getting cold 😑 I hate when people cant take orders right. And I repeated the order twice. Smh. They need to get better employees, or train them better. Go here if you like your orders messed up. And they want a tip after messing up the order pfft 👎
MoreI have been going here since I was four possibly before then. And the food has always been dilicious going there on my birthday was a nostalgia trip in and of itself.
MoreVery sweet servers, awesome service and amazing mexican food💖💫
I had lunch with a friend and ordered Tacos El durado. These "Crispy Tacos" as they are known are Filled with a potato and shredded beef mix, and the delicious toppings and garnishes placed on the top outside. Served with their flavourful rice and beans. If you love the crunch of hard shell Tacos youll love these.
MoreNormally I love the food, but lately it hasnt been the same. Must have gotten a new cook
MoreReasonably fast friendly service. Always busy at dinner. Taco Tuesdays. Whiskey Wednesdays. Servers are fast and intelligent. Regularly go here.
MoreI love this place. The food and the service are great. Try the fajita combo with a friend its the best thing on the menu, except for the fried tacos. Hard to choose really.
MoreWe were seated right away the service was excellent and they even sang happy birthday to our 80 year old birthday girl and brought her out a big bowl of fried ice cream with 4spoons it was a great surprise to us all and she loved every minute of it I would recommend this place for any occasion 😀
MoreI went here cause it’s literally a block away from my house an I ordered a smothered chicken burrito just to receive a smothered rice burrito with bearly any chicken inside. It’s highly disappointing. For the quality an price I should of just drove to a taco truck for better quality. Don’t waste your time
MoreWe loved the Milanesa con Pollo! The Guacamole and chips for an appetizer was a plus as well. I think if in the area come here for Mexican food!
MoreAwesome Staff!! I had heard about their Fajitas, and did they ever deliver a perfect plate!! Usually TOGO orders can be a hit & miss... I opened the box and just stared for a moment! Nice cuts of beef, perfect amount of peppers/onions and took the time to wrap in foil! It was still hot 20mins later when I brought home to mom! Definitely will be back!
MoreLove this place!! Food is excellent, drinks are top notch!!! Service is awesome, We love Jerry and the owner Javier is great!!! Been eating here for 15 years
MoreGreat place. Clean. Staff is on the spot. Super friendly. Food is really good. Carnitas delicious. Definitely a go back to place.
MoreI love this place,my grand-Monsters ages 4-13 love this restaurant.weve had plenty of birthday parts there and they are great with the kids and their moods but I only give it a 4 star because 3 out of 5 times Ive been there lately something was off with the food it just didnt taste right but when I was there July 25 it was awesomeThank you for the good service and getting back on track.
MoreWell it’s been a few years since we come here and something was just off. The food was a little bit off. Seemed like the green sauce in our shrimp enchiladas was a little to salty. The shrimp appetizers were good.
MoreService was Great, food was Delicious🌮🌯🥤, only thing our food took Forever to come to our table once it was Ordered. Otherwise Great Establishment..My First time Experience there👍🏼👍🏼🤗
MoreWe waited 2 hours for our food, we finally got our lunch and the mildnessa was dried we had to send it back to get another plate and the rest of the food was warm. I like my food hot.
MoreWeve been coming to la morenita for over 30 years, its sad to say that the level of service and the food quality have declined drastically. Their salsa tastes like tomato sauce, their food flavorless, and they serve much smaller portions than before. We must say hasta la vista baby, Elias is a great server.this is positive criticism
MoreWe used to go there all the time because the food is good but wont go back again after today. We had already signed the $80 check with 19% gratuity when I noticed my half drank daiquiri had a dead fly in it. When I quietly told the waitress about it she said it mustve fallen in to the bottom of it and got the feeling she thought we put it in there ourselves. The only resolution was to get me another "small one or just take it away." The bartender was very nice and apologetic but the way the waitress acted about it was off putting and kinda insulting.
MoreLoved the Mexican decor, photos of the Mexican Revolution (Pancho Villa, child Revolutionary, etc.embedded in the table, faux stained glass partition of Mexican scene and beautiful Day of the Dead Lady greeting me at the entrance. Food was delicious, service excellent and flan to die for!!!!
MoreBought burrito and was disappoint because doesnt look like a burrito. It wasnt even rolled up. Does this look like a burrito
MoreMexican food doesn’t getting any better then you find here!
I went for lunch and got triple combo with a burrito, taco and tamale. I felt that the food was exactly average, nothing stood out.
MoreGreat food and great vibes. Our server was very kind and generous. Continually checked on us. I ended up with the tree amigos which comes with a little of everything; carne asada, grilled chicken and some shrimp prawns. Worth a stop if your craving comida mexicana.
MoreGreat customer service, delicious food, wonderful seating atmosphere, and very good prices. Thank you
MoreOutdoor dining and drinks.. cant go wrongIve always been a fan ot this place. But now that only Outdoor dining is available..i like that i dont have to eat in the parkingot. They have a covered outdoor patio and extra tables in front of the entrance, so it feels like Im still dining at a restaurant. Plus it has a pokestop for all you Pokémon go players out there.
MoreFirst time trying this place and it doesnt disappoint. Great food great service. Had to come back next day just to try the rest of tge food had the fajitas were the best Ive had. But honestly shout out to Gerardo for Great service very on top of it we did not have to ask for nothing he took care of us thats why we are making this place our favorite place to eat and thank you to the server Nora for your suggestions and great service. Management you have some great employees here and they deserve to be recognized.
MoreTheir margaritas never taste like there is tequila in them. The food is pretty good. My only complaint about the food is that I would rather have a smooth red sauce rather than the chunky one they serve. Salsa is very good as are the tortilla chips
MorePretty good drinks and food is pretty tastey. Average prices too. I would have given 4 stars, but the food arrived cold/luke warm. The beans werent even hot. Maybe sitting in the bar side was the reason. I probably wont return to this one
MorePrompt seating and friendly staff. Very clean surroundings. The food was exceptionally tasty, from the guacamole dip to our margaritas. Bring your appetite because the meals are generous portions. No complaints here, more to savor later.
MoreComing from LA I have eaten my share of Mexican food. Its just so different from there. But since Ive moved to the valley its been hard to find a solid Mexican restaurant. Well not anymore. The wedding burrito has to be my favorite thing to eat now. The sauce is amazing..the portions are good and the customer service is kick a**. Hats off to the family that work hard to keep this place going. Support your local restaurants
MoreThis is a nice Mexican restaurant. The food was really good, the red sauce on burrito was the best one I have tried. The menu is big with a lot of options, but the prices are a little bit higher than in the other restaurants
MoreI was so disappointed not because of the quality or costumer service they offer but because I been living around the area for 22 years and never noticed this Mexican Restaurant which has been open for 20 years. Its so hidden. If you want to flavor the food and actually try most of their food which is authentic this is the place for you. Its simply tasty and juicy. The costumer service is amazing you get attended quickly and the food does take an average of 25-30 minutes to get served but its worth the wait. The atmosphere is peaceful and full of diverse costumers. Which I loved about it also. They have a small bar at the entrance which is a nice detail too to go drinking. Great for family time out or simply an night out any night. Hope my review was helpful.
