Big pretzel should be Gigantic pretzel. I ate about half. Took most of the leftover half back to my hotel. Had some for breakfast, took it on the plane and had some and shared it with the person sitting next to me... and there was STILL some left!! That thing could feed a small country. It was delicious and I loved the Pilsner cheese sauce. The salmon on top of a salad was also very good. And too big to finish. But the fish was fresh and prepared as requested. My friend got the sliders (3) and a side salad. He said it was all very good. The atmosphere is very friendly. Everyone seemed to know everyone.

There is a homey feel here with a nod to quality and enjoyment. The food is homemade and of good quality. The coffee is okay-good but it is from a local roaster. The door squeaks and I cannot say how much I like it. I disagree with the $ indication. I find the prices to be more moderate ($$) for what it is-- particularly the oatmeal and some espresso-based drinks. That being said, you are paying for handmade and someone making it to order. Would I return? Yes. Would I recommend? Yes but only to people I like. Simply charmed.

I have to say the scones were the worst thing I have ever tasted. You couldn't even tell what flavor they were but worse than that whatever the flavor was was awful. We each took one bite and immediately pitched them in the trash. What a shame. Even a scone from a mix can taste decent. These were awful; disgusting. We couldn't get the awful taste out of our mouths. You must be able to do better than that. My coffee was 'fine'.

I was in Sioux City on a Monday, didn't realize the Hispanic restaurant was closed on Mondays, but…read morelooking at the reviews for La Morena, I thought I would give it a try. The place looks a little dated and as others have mentioned a little like an all you can eat type place. Staff was very pleasant and attentive. Portion sizes were very generous. Unfortunately, the food taste/texture was a little off on some items. The chips and salsa were good, little bit of heat in the salsa which was nice. They also asked if I like spicy food which I replied yes, so they brought out two bottles of hotter sauce, one green, one red. The re-fried beans were ok - you could taste there was a lot of lard in them - very smooth and silky. A little off... The rice taste was fine, but the texture was different, almost like they used minute rice. A little off... I got the Diablo Burrito with Asada. The meat had a different taste. It was filled with a nice amount of meat, rice and beans. It was also smothered with a rather spicy sauce which I enjoyed. The tortilla was kinda rubbery, and at the ends with all the folds, really thick. For $12.29 this was a great value for the amount of food you get. I was ready to give a 4 or 5 star review, but then next day I got 2 emails from La Morena via Square, their credit card processor. I don't believe I selected anything when checking out to indicate that I wanted to be added to an email or birthday list, but I was added. I get enough spam on a daily basis, I don't need to get it from a restaurant that I visited and was located 90 miles from home, hence the 3 star review. I'm glad they are proud of their restaurant, but they need to understand that not everyone is as excited to hear about it. I blame Square as much as La Morena.
