Morena's Mexican Cuisine

I highly recommend Morenas Restaurant in Riverside! The food is absolutely delicious — everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes.

A special shout-out to America, our waitress, for her excellent service and friendly attitude. She was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal.

And you have to try their Café de Olla — it tastes amazing! Perfectly sweet, rich, and full of flavor.

If you’re looking for a place with great food, fair prices, and outstanding service, Morenas is definitely worth visiting!

We weren’t sure of where to have lunch on a Sunday. We ended up here. The reviews looked good. So we took a chance. I was impressed. From beginning to end ;service was on point. Meal options were great and reasonably priced. When our meals were delivered they did not disappoint. My daughter got the carne asada plate with enchilada, hubby got the chile relleno and taco, I was craving enchiladas. Green and red platter. The meat was grilled to perfection. Very tasty. Our plates were hot. The decor and ambiance are family friendly. They do have a bar. Plenty of seating. Definitely on our list of places to go for a meal.

We ordered the Azteca Soup, Empanadas with Chicken Tinga, Cheese Enchiladas, and Beef Tacos. We thought we received generous portions of what we ordered. For the price we felt it was worth it, the food was good very flavorful.

I came in on my lunch break. was greeted by a lovely lady at the front, the fact they serve breakfast after 11 was a big deal for me. Every plate that came out before mine was made with Excellent presentation and plating. The house salsa is killer! 🔥 Great selection of beers on tap. I will definitely return !

I get tired of most Mexican restaurants because there is a sameness to them all, but Morena's is better, more upscale than the others. I love this place.

Randomly picked this place after seeing 4.7 🌟. It was very good food. Tasted a couple dishes I'd never had let alone heard of, which were both fantastic and delicious! (Aztec soup and the Chipotle chicken with onion, mushrooms.) The salsa had a delicious smokey flavor...I did add a little salt but still was great. The service was friendly and inviting from the moment the door opened...a woman behind the bar immediately smile and waved hello. Definitely will be back!

The horchata is so watered down it was the worst horchata I’ve had my entire life. I paid $50 to get the food door-dashed and it was a scam. Their food was flavorless. My chilaquiles were not even a little spicy, lacked any flavor, and were jammed with raw onions. My husband’s burrito was like 80% rice like they were too cheap to put anything else and he said the meat that was there was rough and chewy. You could find better food at any fast food chain. Honestly Miguel Jrs would’ve had more flavor and been a fraction of the price. The horchata is the biggest insult because I know this restaurant knows the horchata is so watered down it’s basically nothing.
