El Nuevo Morelos Mexican Restaurant

Came at 12pm to have lunch with my mother and they are not even open. To far away for me since I live in Maple Grove ..

Woof, not sure what was going on but this was a miserable dining experience. Very slow to get orders taken, my entrée came out 10 minutes before my daughter's. My wife never got hers, we ended up canceling the order because it had been 45 minutes. Oh and no drink refills during that wait.

The food was too expensive for the place to be run this haphazardly. I feel bad for the servers, they seemed like it was their first day and they got thrown into some kind of personnel mess. The 66% of the meal we received tasted pretty good but you can get great Mexican food at lots of places. I might possibly try their 14 taco megaplatter someday as takeout but I don't see myself stopping in again.

Server was inattentive, food was okay, but "steak" looked like a Steak-ums - paper thin and very chewy. Very over priced for what was served. Won't be returning.

Not impressed unfortunately, really wanted to like it but alas it wasn't that great first time and we won't be back. They were out of practically every beer that was on the menu, ordered a trio entree, chicken was over salted and brought out a plain baked potato for the side along random bacon which we got charged for when we didn't ask for it. Prob a language barrier baked potato and bacon sound similar. Barely got any chips for the side of gauc ordered, forgot had to remind them again. Didn't get salsa, doesn't come complimentary and only have Medium or Hot. Very strange, used to get this initially always. Extremely spicy ceviche tostadas. Everything got brought out during different times. Food was terrible and expensive not worth the $100 we spent. Worst Mexican restaurant I've been to in a while. My marg and lingua taco was fine. Disappointed!

I ordered from this location through DoorDash, and I want to share my experience. If you're seeking authentic Mexican food, please read my review; if not, feel free to place your order.

I ordered the Caldo De Res, which is traditionally accompanied by chopped onions, cilantro, lime, and a tortilla—but none of these sides were provided. While I could overlook this, I couldn't ignore that the soup was extremely salty. Additionally, I didn't receive a spoon, but that turned out to be fine since I ended up discarding the soup anyway.

I also ordered tacos Al Pastor, which were mediocre at best, and I did not receive any salsa with them. Overall, I was very disappointed and will not be ordering from this location again.

It's OK. I think our waiter was newish. He could not answer questions about the different margaritas but at least he got the bartender (or maybe manager) to answer our question. On the topic of margaritas, they were pretty weak. Good flavor but definitely less strong than your average Mexican restaurant margaritas. The chips and salsa situation was weird. The chips (which we had to ask for) came with two little Solo portion cups with lids on. The two portion cups each contained a different type of green picante sauce. The sauces were meh. No traditional salsa. I had a steak bisteca dish and my wife had a shrimp cocktail. My food was fine. Only major negative was I asked for hot sauce and all they had was Valentina. C'mon. Bring on the El Yucateco. Am I right? My wife says her shrimp cocktail was fine.

If this was the only Mexican joint I'd probably come back. As it stands, there are better Mexican restaurants nearby. I'd give this one a miss.

I ordered an order of flautas and I would have liked them to have put more lettuce and a bean toast and I would also have liked them to have put more beans but in the end I enjoyed my meal because of the kind attention of the waitress Yuli
Very nice waitress, very attentive and with excellent service

Thank you Yuli, thank you for your kindness.

Just a heads up for anyone that wants to dine here. They tack on a 20% “service fee” for a group of 3. Had to ask 3 times to get our chips and queso that we had ordered to too that off had to walk around restaurant to find our server to get said order. Other Mexican restaurants have better food and better portions. Very over priced for what we received. 10 out 10 would never recommend to anyone every.
