Morenita Restaurante & Pupusería

The Best Real El Salvadorian Food in Mendota . Highly Recommended. BEST In Town.

The best shrimp/combo in town. Each time I go the food and service gets better. I will not go anywhere else for a seafood meal!

Best pupusas in the world !! Would not eat another pupusa if it’s not from here !

This little hole in the wall was a huge suprise! Recommended by some our customers, who live in Mendota, we were greeted with friendly staff, who made amazing recommendations for us.
My husband wanted chips and salsa and the owner, literally went into the kitchen and made them from scratch!
They recommended the Gordita!!! We had chicken and it was flavorful, chicken was moist, seasoned well and accompanied by a slaw that brought a perfect balance to the dish!
The sopes was… chef’s kiss!!! My husband’s favorite. He ordered the el pastor and it was perfectly marinated and full of flavor. The sopes was soft on the inside and crisp and crunchy on the outside… giving a savory and full flavor. Also well seasoned. It was topped with cabbage & sour cream.
Their signature pupusa was my personal favorite! For me it was the thick corn outer shell stuffed with cheese and carnitas. I took a bite and there was something nostalgic about it!
A few bites more and I noticed the slaw on the side… I put it on top and WOW!!! Took it to another level.
If this place was in LA or Bay Area with all the bells and whistles… there would be a line out the door!

The atmosphere is what you would expect for a hole in the wall. Just basic and older… but by the time you take your first bite, it’s irrelevant.

Talked with the owner and his sister!!! Great people! Realized his wife is a regular at Clash, which was an extra cherry on top!!! (We love supporting our customers businesses!)

If you are ever in Mendota, check it out!

We had four different types of pupusas and found the pork to be the most flavorful. The cabbage salad was tasty along with the plantains and yucca.

Big Shout Out To Josue. He Always Take Care Of Us In A Timely Manner!

I ordered 8 bean pupusas, and they put them all together and they were made as if they were enfrijoladas, to save on what they wrap them in, we ate the pure dough and the beans stayed stuck in the box and on the paper ??‍♀️

THE FOOD WAS PRETTY GOOD & THE SERVICE WAS PRETTY FAST. THE ONLY THING I COULD COMPLAIN ABOUT WAS THEIR PRICES WERE PRETTY STEEP. BUT OTHER THAN THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND TO FRIENDS TO TRY IT.
