You know, those ethnic cuisines whose dreamers go through all that to finally achieve a vision--only to be closed down in less than a couple of years--see it all the time. Yeah well, that ain't Morenita's. I'm sure they put in the hard work, but they've had that hole-in-the-wall vibe location for going on 36 years now. Going strong today cuz they're doin one thing right--everything! They did the time as that hidden gem, serving authentic Michoacán recipes. Keeping food comin out fast and affordable, they consistently served excellence to in-the-know locals. Those locals--their loyals, made Morenita's what it is today--the oldest Mexican eatery in town--the survivor--an Idaho Falls institution. Now, Morenita's is still doin it, with many days of lunchtime being like walking in moments after stocks open on Wall Street. But, for real, the experience is a fiesta. When you're ready to order there is no communication gap. She helped us out with high energy--talkative, helpful, and seemed genuinely happy to be there--nice change. The menu, while presented as authentic, is easily catered to Americanized taste buds. They have a variety of drinks, and wide selection of beers (pretty sure all bottled). So to start, I ordered myself a Modelo Especial. Also, the Breakfast Burrito without potatoes, smothered in cheese and green sauce. That's one thing I don't like about Mexican food breakfast burritos--too much potato, but they fixed it up for me. For a final touch, I ordered a Chile Relleno a la carte. I wanted to add a coffee, which was on the menu, but when I asked for it I was informed all they had was instant. I'm not sure if this is all the time, but that's just...no thanx lol. With a buzzer in hand to alert you to come pick up your food, you go find a table. They are pretty busy, and keep the price down by not running it out to your table. The dining room is not very big, with multiple bench tables big enough to seat like five each. The atmo: Well, not horrible, but a little tooo shared, and cafeteria-like. It was ok, not loud, I could hear who was with me (she gave 5 stars). It's kinda bright and open, but at the same time--chill. The other dine-in customers were totally at ease--completely used to it. Anyway, our buzzer went off, and grabbing the food was quick and easy. The moment of truth: I started with my Breakfast Burrito. They had added extra egg and cheese to replace the potato, filling up the massive fresh tortilla, without extra charge. The first bite took me back to Wall Street, like selling stocks at the right time--total payout! OMGosh it was sooo tasty. The Relleno is maybe the tops in Idaho Falls. Honestly, it's hard to go wrong with a smothered green chile & cheese, but some manage to. Despite my initial apprehension about the atmosphere, I was totally comfortable scarfing down my meal. My usual beer even tasted better there. The food is great, better than many full-scale places. The service is fun and upbeat, and the prices are very competitive. I'm going to do my part to help Morenita's stay around for another 36 years. My highest fast-casual Mexican food rating. Super-Scale 8* Most fast-casual places don't have coffee anyway!

If you are in Pocatello, eat here…read more We dined on a Friday night. 90% capacity. No line. A little slow to get us seated but as kind as other reviewers have noted. Everyone was kind. Thank you! Dinner took 30 minutes to reach our table. A little long and it's not like they were full with a line of people waiting. Their chips looked and seemed generic, but they were good. Salsa was about a 10/10 for me. Flavor, heat, consistency. Perfect. Bean dip was good. Nacho queso was fun, but a little plain. I appreciated having it. I had 3 shredded beef tacos, and beans and rice. One of my major complaints of an otherwise very good experience. Is that two out of my three tacos were soggy by the time I got to them and I tried to get to them immediately before I started in on the beans and rice to prevent eating soggy tacos. Anyway, that was a big disappointment. Beyond that, the freshness and flavor and quality was great. I enjoyed everything. I would definitely eat here again. I'm not sure if my tacos were soggy from the tomatoes or the shredded beef or because they were sitting under the heat light for too long. I would need to figure that out next time, if I'm ever in Pocatello again... There was live music, and that was fun. At the end of our meal thy brought out chips with cinnamon, whipped cream, and caramel drizzle. Free of charge. This is not my type of thing at all. But I have to admit it was a nice little treat after dinner and was very, very good. The only reason I'm not giving this a five star review is because of the soggy tacos. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. Everything was great.

They have a salsa/hot sauce bar, each with different heat levels. They have a soda fountain in addition to Horchata! The entire location feels clean! The restaurant is owned and operated by a wonderful family. The owners speak both Spanish and English. I did have a medical emergency at the restaurant and I haven't been back since, but they all treated me so well. I'm very grateful. My observations; 1. Service is efficient and quick!

Don't be put off by the interior--the food is worth it!…read more I have tried several of their menu items, but I always return to my favorite: torta de cabeza! Seriously! the fatty goodness and intriguing flavors of head meat are out of this world. (My mouth is watering, just thinking about it.) Slow-roasted head meat, perfectly seasoned, and minced into bits that explode with flavor. Put it all on a grilled torta roll--which are always fresh (probably baked on premises). The edges are crispy and warm, and buttery fat seeps in the first 1/4 inch. Incredible! The verduras are FRESQUITAS! I have never seen a vegetable with a flaw at Los Panchos--never. The generous slices of avocado are picture perfect, every time. Red and green sauce; I like to mix it up. They are both good (the green may be great). Man up, and put some jalapeno on your torta! Before you pay your check, stop at the bakery counter and pick up very good puerqitos, and some corn tortillas to take home. They'll go great with your morning coffee. Price is good, but I would pay double. I love, love, love this food!

The chips were small broken pieces. I could have complained but it was at the beginning of the meal and if you complain you never know what will happen to your meal in the kitchen.
