The host clearly hates his job or just hates interacting with people or maybe just to concerned with eating his food behind the hosting table to give any real good customer service

The chips were fresh and crisp, and salasas were delicious and colorful. My chicken poblano mole plate was the simplest looking of all our entrees. The seafood enchiladas were beautifully presented and delicious. I guess I would say don't judge a book by its cover. The mole plate was simple looking and pale. The pale reefried beans were the best I've ever had and the pounded chicken breast smothered in mole was equally the best I've ever had. I am almost never completely satisfied with a dining experience. This was the closest to exceeding my expectations, all the way around, in decades

First Visit—based on reviews had high expectations! Sad to say—a great disappointment. First—the bar is very small—seats about 8 cramped against one another—opted for a table. Dining Room is spacious and a good vibe—that’s about the best thing. My Server was kind and full of smiles. Did the best to try and rec items. Today was their Taco Tuesday specials👎I chose unwisely—2 Crispy Beef Tacos (thought they were ground beef, but they were filled with very old, dried up, even crispy edges of shredded beef—chewy and almost inedible) and stale Taco Shells. I ordered a side of guacamole—they said it was the size of the salsas but you can see the photo—2 tiny scoops and old tasting—sent it back—not worth $6! Not even worth $2! Decided to try the Jack Cheese Quesadilla—it was good, yet very thin and very sparse (look at the plate) for $12!
Another very negative thing was one of the employees was laying across the bathroom sinks when I went to the restroom talking on her cell phone loudly with it on video and it sounded like she was talking with a male! Very unprofessional and uncomfortable! I couldn’t get to the sink to wash my hands! The soap is like nothing—no lather—just disappears when you rub your hands together. 😯
This same employee was the one clearing dishes and would stand and watch you and as soon as you barely put your fork down was at your table asking to take your plates! I appreciate having plates cleared as many seemed to have stopped doing this since Covid! But to have someone standing by my table, like a hawk, waiting to swoop in and grab my plate the second I put my fork down was so off putting that I literally told her to leave me alone the last time she tried to take my plate! Sorry! Not sorry! Wanted to like this place. Sad to say, I hated it and won’t be back nor can I recommend it.

We came from Vegas, on vacation. We wanted to have some quality Mexican food. I checked the reviews on google and this place had a lot of positive reviews with a high rating. We were not disappointed. We were immediately welcomed, seated and greeted. The chips and salsa were great. Our entrees were amazing. My kids loved their meals. My steak fajitas were absolutely great with a large portion. I brought half home. My husband got the 2 different enchiladas and a steak with red sauce and chicken in green. He said they were the best enchiladas he’s ever had. The service was excellent as well.
We will be back again.

This has always been our go-to restaurant when we dine out and have guests in town. We even held our son’s first birthday here with their catering (everyone loved it and gave rave reviews). Recently, we noticed the portion sizes are SIGNIFICANTLY smaller. Every dish we ordered had far less protein than they have ever had and we’ve been coming here for four years. We love the staff, they have the best servers-always super respectful and attentive. Our child’s meal had about 1/3 the amount of chicken it normally comes with, my fajitas were the same. I used to make 4 or more tacos with the meat, this time I had one! Super disappointing. I brought this issue up to our server who acknowledged the portions were much smaller. I hope the owners see this and make some adjustments. We will really miss this place if this isn’t corrected.

This past Sunday was the first time I went to this Mexican restaurant. They exceeded my expectations. Customer service was outstanding. The food was to die for. To top it off, they had mariachi’s playing on Sunday during 12 to 2. The mariachis did a great job. Also, I ordered fajitas to go for my daughter, and she couldn’t believe how good their food was

The green salsa is the best. They should sell it in jars.
Food and service was great. Quick affordable lunch.

I have been to this restaurant a few times and I love it. The staff is always friendly, and I like how their food taste so homemade and delicious. Their salsa is my favorite out of any Mexican restaurant I’ve tried. I have also tried their pollo a la plancha (grilled chicken). It is so healthy. Just chicken, rice, beans and a salad. Today I ordered the Carne Asada and shrimp. I was a little hesitant at the beginning because of the price, but it was actually a lot of food and the quality of the food was 10/10. The shrimps were really big, and had a buttery sauce with some sauteed onions and poblano peppers. And the steak was big (~10-12 oz ) and it was really tender and well seasoned. I will continue to go back to Morena’s ❤️
