To start off not a convenience store anymore just restaurant. Maybe I hit them on a bad day but was not a good experience. They open at 7 and at 7:15 they weren’t completely ready and were not clear about it before I payed for my order. It took about 20 mins for my order for a soup that should have been ready if not I should had been told about the wait time etc. Also it was menudo pretty clear unique flavor was expected got something completely different. Tasted more like seafood soup condiments, kinda maybe like a insta mix for menudo. Not really good. Not bad it was edible but not your typical menudo. Maybe a different region style that I’m not used to. All together not the best experience. Also don’t be “codos” with your lime.

I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but this place truly deserves one.
A little backstory: this past summer, we’d play a few rounds of pickleball and then walk over for agua frescas. Since they launched their breakfast menu in early December, my fiancé and I have quickly become regulars. We stop by a couple times a week to sit down for breakfast or grab champurrado to go before heading to work. This morning, one of the staff members thanked us for being regulars and even offered us a piece of their merch. It was such a thoughtful and genuinely kind gesture.
As for the restaurant itself, everything is made to order and absolutely delicious! The space is always spotless, and the staff is consistently warm and welcoming. You can really tell they care about their customers and what they do.

I’d heard such great things of this place and we thought we’d givem a try. Food was ok, nothing bad and nothing wowing. The one thing that was odd was extremely thin tortillas. They are made from scratch so perhaps that’s the difference. Place looked to be going through a transition to a larger restaurant type vibe, that may be the reason for lack of acknowledgement to customers. idk! I may try them another time in the future, but there are so many others that have excelled in food and customer experience. We’ll have to see. 🤔

Great food and I love the salsa bar! Get a torta or a burrito and you can have a whole second meal of leftovers for a good price.

La Morena is one of my favorites for lunch and early dinners, and now they are serving breakfast, too! Vegetarian? Me, too! Try a bean pupusa loaded up at the salsa bar. This morning, I had Huevo Frito—eggs, beans, cheese, corn tortillas, and a pickled pepper with coffee. Generous portions with the plates—all priced 9.99 with coffee and free refills. Welcoming. Great prices. Delicious.

Misleading photos on DoorDash. I ordered what should have fed my whole family. Got home, each order had one taco, not three. Then when I call thinking my order was missing items, the guy was incredibly rude and hung up on me. Never again. Good job.
Chorizo Pollo was in a bed of grease. Also found a small bone. The tamale was rasty but also found a small bone that I will call dangerous. I should have brought these complaints to the staff who were friendly and may have corrected the greasy complaint

The food is fantastic—truly delicious and well-made. However, I can’t give a high review because there are no prices displayed anywhere. It makes it impossible to make an informed choice and comes across as intentionally deceptive, which really undermines what could otherwise be a great dining experience.

Order at counter. Slightly expensive, have to pay for chips/salsa also. Cantaloupe water was delicious! Burrito supreme and enchiladas were great
Good food.
