50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Moreno Valley

“Delicious! Tiny place with great food. Flavorful and exciting to the taste buds. We had the shrimp ceviche, red snapper, and mussels. All delicious! The chef came out and asked us our thoughts on the meals, as staff is friendly and efficient.“

“excellent“

“I've been coming to this place going on like 5 years now and I never get tired of it. They are always evolving with new secret menu items and the tried and true classics. My favorite is the El Chapo, a fully loaded, bacon wrapped, asada burrito. Their beer selection cannot be beat as they always have new beers to satisfy everyone's ABV preference, I'm all about the high IPAs. The restaurant is always clean and the staff are all wonderful, highly recommend“

“This may be a long review, I can never tell.

I know Chiquito had been open for a while, however my husband and I had never actually visited since they’ve opened. We usually visit spots that are new to see how we feel.

Well, husband gets off work late and felt like having a bite to eat somewhere; he will enjoy an adult beverage of course to get a feel of the service. I agreed to go, so off we went (last night) to try this place out at 11:30 pm.

When we got there, there were still customers inside besides ourselves. I wish I got the name of the woman who was helping us, I believe her parents own the business, but she was very nice, very helpful and very attentive. She answered our questions about the menu and showed us deals.

The husband and I got the taco platter I believe it’s called, the chicken potstickers and a side of regular French fries. I have no complaints. Everything was so good, but I didn’t come with an appetite and it was late so I enjoyed what I could.

After sitting there until near closing time, we didn’t feel rushed or anything at all when she informed us bar was closed and closing time was 30 minutes from that time.

All in all, we would definitely visit again. Excellent atmosphere, service and food“

“Was looking for a good fish tacos place nearby and these fish tacos were great! Some of the best I've ever had. Toppings and sauces all flavorful. The red and green salsas were great with green being my favorite. I also got a shrimp cocktail and though the flavor of the cocktail itself was good. The giant shrimp at the bottom didn't have much flavor and for 20 bucks for that alone I expected more. The area is a little sketchy too which made me take my order to go. All in all I really enjoyed the fish tacos at least and would go back for that alone.“

“Went for breakfast to have birria. They had just opened. They didn't have cafe de olla ready so that was disappointing. I had been here 1 time before when they had just opened so its been a while. They don't have hand made tortillas. Food was good and had a horchata and it was good as well.“

“The food is good to eating here“

“We have came to this restaurant since the late '80s and it always has excellent service. Excellent food and excellent atmosphere!
I have found one dish that I really like and it's like no other restaurants The carne asada dinner it is so good!
Also, everything else on the menu is really good too!“

“Been looking for a good shrimp cocktail spot all along. I had a hidden gem right down the street from me. Shrimp cocktail was awesome. Very fresh and the service was great. I love mom and Pop shops. We need to support all of our local family businesses. I will be coming back.👍“

“Excellent service and delicious food! Honestly, I have been wanting to come here for a long time and will 100% be back. They have fresh flour tortillas! Their food is better than Chipotle and made fresh. I had the shredded beef salad 10/10! My daughter had the shredded beef tacos and ate every last bite. They also had a full station for drinks: house made horchata/aguas frescas/syrups/soft drinks etc. Thank you!“

“Uhhhmaaaazing! You NEED to eat here.“

“Ohhhhhh my heavens.... so, I always order a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and guacamole inside.... you'd think this would be an easy thing to find that tastes good but you'd be wrong. This place is BOMB!!!!!!!! So dang good. Delicious burrito made RIGHT... and the green sauce... oh my gosh. I can't wait to come back.“

“As a general rule, I NEVER go to restaurants in gas stations. My buddy said "trust me". Good decision! It's a small place, but clean and pleasant. The al pastor tacos were delicious. The pork was tender and juicy. The cilantro and onions were fresh and crunchy. The salsa was freshly made and just the right amount of heat. The rice and beans were loaded with flavor. The staff were friendly and engaging. I'll be back!“

“Tesoro en Moreno Valley, un lugar que no puedes dejar de apoyar y respetar su servicio cálido, amable y familiar.“

Everything was FRESH, and tasted authentic and homemade! I got the Agua de Fresa (strawberry drink) made with FRESH STRAWBERRIES!!! I recommend this place to anyone that wants authentic Mexican food 10/10 💯“

“Amazing hidden gem with authentic homestyle flavor and decent amount of food for a great price. Totally worth it. Come and support your local family run business. I will definitely try their whole menu as the burrito de asada, birria taco plate and surf and turf fries did not disappoint but rather surprised with the amount of flavor. Tastes just like mom used to make. ???“

“There are only two places I love to eat when I visit Moreno Valley. One is Papa's India Grill and the other is Mexican Kitchen. Located right across Cactus Avenue from March Air Reserve Base, this place may be low on atmosphere, but the service is always friendly and the food excellent. I love their cheese enchiladas and always order them with green tomatillo sauce rather than red sauce. Their chip and salsa selection is almost as good. I only wish they added zanahorias, the spiced and pickled carrots, to their salsa offerings. Their chile relleno is also excellent, but it's the enchiladas that keep me coming back. Try them with the green sauce and see what I mean.“

“Well I finally tried one.... Kalaveras that is! Had an OK time celebrating my Baby Cousin. The food impressed me and most of my family. I will definitely go back

Ambiance was nice and different, I have no complaints there. Prices were reasonable and the quality seemed pretty good. Check them out for yourselves“

“The bomb 💣 me and my wife love this spot“

“Yummy. Great food. Highly recommend“

“My son brought me to this pupuseria. I have to say, I'm not a big fan of pupusas BUT they were very delicious. I've eaten pupusas before at other restaurants and they were dry and too much dough not enough filling. I had a cheese and jalapeño pupusa and it was DELICIOUS! It had filling in every bite and the masa was tasty. I would come back and order it again.“

“Food made fresh to order. Great selection of mariscos and beverages.“

“Great service. I got a mojarra Frita combo and it was absolutely great. We'll seasoned it comes with rice, beans corn tortillas, salsa and lemon. What makes it special the cooks come out from the back to give you your food. Come you will not be disappointed.“

“Hands-down, best tacos in Moreb Valley. This place just has a great atmosphere with the. That’s ran it for years. Their food is delicious. The tacos are the best. The Al Pastor, And the family vibe that you get there just a bunch of friendly people making great food. This place is definitely a must try.“

“Best Mexican Food in town.. always my go to.. which is a lot!“

“Great food there but bad service because no chips and no salsa when my mom and I got there at the Zapata mexican restaurant“

“La Bamba Sabor Latino Pupuseria is a true hidden gem! The food here is absolutely delicious — packed with authentic flavors that instantly take you straight to El Salvador. The pupusas are perfectly made: crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside, and filled with generous portions of savory goodness.

Every bite tastes homemade, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh and made with love. The curtido and salsa complement the pupusas perfectly — tangy, spicy, and refreshing.

The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. If you're craving real Latin flavor, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!“

“Great customer service the food is phenomenal. You can not go wrong with the tortas !!! The salsas are fresh this is only our 3rd time I have tried the torta de asada , torta especial and tacos , my son keeps greeting there quesabirria. Very delicious .“

“El Karaoke, I Love to hear People Singing ❤“

“This place is the real deal food is phenomenal I love that they make fresh tortillas in front of you the Aqua Freesca are all delicious and there deserts and salsa are on point you won't be disappointed“

“Phenomenal! I eat out a lot and have only found 3-4 spots in town that I would want to try again. This place is at the top of my list now. The family were very accommodating for my little picky eater and they made the best carne asada. Full of flavor. We were too full by the end, but we plan to go back to try their churros.“

“los superguaraches y los sopes“

“La Torta Picosita was delicious!! Would go there again.“

“I don't usually leave reviews, but I don't understand how this place has 3.9 stars. Let me tell you, it deserves at least 4.6. It's been a while since I had good Mexican food besides my wife's cooking. I got a buche burrito—BOMB! My wife got 2 pastor and 2 asada tacos. She said it was amazing, and my son got an asada quesadilla. He said so far it's the best quesadilla he's had. I 💯% recommend this place.“

“Good not authentic But good“

“Perfecto combo familiar 🌮🌮🌮🌮😋“

“Great place to kill your seafood cravings, every time I come here I order the same. A tostada of shrimp ceviche cooked in lime juice, empanadas de camaron and a order of Langostinos. I have tried some other items on their menu and they are really good too but those are my favorites. Great food, great service and reasonable prices! That's what I have been getting here for years!“

“Their carne asada torta and carne asada fries with guacamole taste so good. Well cooked meat. Everything tasted fresh. Even the free salsa bar tasted fresh.

Pico de gallo and lime are not free but can be substituted if you removed some ingredients on your order.

They have jamaica, watermelon and horchata aqua fresca drinks. All deliciously fresh btw.

I have to give a huge shout-out to Denise the cashier girl. She is so friendly, patient and accommodating. Being on your feet for 6-8 hrs a day and dealing with the public is not an easy job. So I have so much respect for ppl like Denise that choose to do customer service jobs. I salute you! ???

Vegetarian options: You can customize your order

Parking: Parking lot is shared by Dollartree, Jersey Mike, Popeyes etc“

“I have been coming here for the past 3 years usually once a week and this place is very consistent on how well the food taste and looks. My go to favorites are the carne asada tacos and burritos. Also the shredded beef tacos and burrito is just as good. Chicken burrito chicken enchiladas with green sauce and the ground beef burrito are outstanding as well. I’ve never had an issue with the staff. They are always quick and polite.“
