This was my first time here. I ALWAYS carry a tumbler of ice tea with me, and when they were taking out drink order, I was told they don’t allow outside food but would let it slide this time. The food and service were good. They offer Insider outside seating. We went for lunch on a Monday and it wasn’t crowded at all.

This was our second time coming here and it was just as good, if not better than our first time. The service, quallty of food, portions, and overall atmosphere were great. We ordered the Morena’s platter and split that two ways. It was definitely more than enough and I’d highly recommend this place to anyone.

I was there twice so far. It’s across the street from our apartment building. I just had my birthday dinner here. The music is great. It’s one of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve been too. The food is excellent! The drinks are delicious and they make you feel really special for your birthday. Thank you Morena’s! ❤️

The service was excellent, The food was good. We had the salmon dinner and the chili R. and chicken enchilada dinners. The Margarita was excellent. We were seated in the bar that had 3 tv’s,and there was also music playing and people noise. I felt it was a bit too noisy.

Great restaurant with fantastic food and great service. It’s a bit noisy inside and they could use some noise dampeners to reduce how loud it can get. The servers take great care of every table. Yummy!

The food was perfect for a Mexican restaurant type. The taco was super crispy and light and the enchiladas were to die for in that red sauce. It has completely changed inside the restaurant. They had live music when I was there and it was pleasant to watch while having my dinner. The place is very clean and super friendly service. They also have a cute cantina section and amazing cocktails but I really was there for the food and was so happy to have chosen the place. Will be back.
