    BREAKFAST BURRITO

    Me and my boyfriend were craving breakfast burritos and we didn't know about this place until my suegro recommended it (Thank God he did cuz we have a new go to spot now nearby now)! Great and fast service the food was given promptly and warm. Cozy restaurant that reminded me of Mexico. I inserted a photo of my order but the burrito was so good I forgot to take a pic till the end damn near I ordered the breakfast burrito with chorizo and country potatoes. Bomb af def recommend

    BREAKFAST BURRITO

    satisfied my breakfast burrito cravings for sure!! really solid loaded breakfast burrito and not too greasy. sometimes I feel gross and heavy after having one but this hit the spot very well. their hot sauce also paired well and packed great heat. outside of the tortilla was lightly crisped well. not busy when I visited on a weekday at lunch. staff were also very nice.

    Tacos Dorados
    Cory N.

    Was in the mood for something different. 3 fried bean tacos topped with carnitas, cabbage, green onion and a lime. chili sauce on the side. Tacos Dorados were a good twist to a staple Mexican dish. I enjoyed the meal. #spicemeister approved.

    I LOVE this family owned restaurant. It's really small but it's one of the things I love about it. The food is so authentic and I cannot stop eat here lol. The tacos dorados with chicken are to DIE FOR. I wish they were open later in the day because they close at 3pm but everything about this place is bomb!

    After a long half day of training for work from out of town in Sacramento, we were all in need of some good food. Thanks to Yelp!! My friend found this little gem! Kind of a hole in a wall but it was awesome. I love crispy tacos. I saw a picture of the tacos dorados and it GOT meeeeeeeee!!!! It was three crispy tacos filled with beans and topped with all of the taco ingredients consisting of lettuce, asada (my choice), pickled onions and salsa. Oooooohhh myyyy goooddnessss!!! I killed it, all!!! The salsa was spicy and perfectly flavored. My three friends loved their food as well. They ordered a shrimp burrito, steak burrito, and crispy taco platter with beans and rice. They killed their food as well. They just complained that it was a bit spicy without asking for spicy. They don't eat spicy but was able to handle it with a little rubbing spicy nose. One complaint, if you don't read what is a little notice that is on the register, it notes that every order is charged a gratuity for the employees. I forgot the exact percentage, but if you pay attention to your receipt you will notice it. I read this on the register then confirmed that it was legit after looking at my receipt. It was a small amount due to my order being not that much, but the principle is, this is a order at the counter and brought to your table so there shouldn't be an automatics gratuity charge. Craziness!!! But they do have to clean the table and pick up the dishes because there isn't a station to drop off our food plates to empty it out. There's nothing I would come back to Modesto for but this restaurant.

    Great spot for burritos. Got a few burritos for lunch, at my meeting. Burritos were good size, and made pretty quickly.

    First off, we found out about this restaurant through social media. We knew eventually we'd want to…read moretry it. Luckily, we were by the mall and made the VERY short 10-ish minute drive. Worth it! Walked into a very quiet, but colorful restaurant with only one other patron inside. The employees were so nice. We were told to pick anywhere, we were brought menus and instantly asked if we'd like anything to drink or if we wanted to look at the menu first... We asked for suggestions and the waitress offered the types of drinks they have. She brought us chips and salsa. The chips were homemade with a perfect crunch. The salsa was fresh, chunky and not spicy. The pepino cone limo aqua Fresca was the best aqua Fresca I've EVER had. Not too sweet at all and was SO REFRESHING. We also ordered an horchata and I was told that was just as good. The food... Where to start. We ordered an empanada and some quedabirria tacos. The empanada was HUGE, deliciously filling with fresh ingredients. It had great flavor. The quesabirria tacos were probably the best we've had. You order the amount you want. They are 5.99 each and oh so delicious. The meat tasted SO FRESH and flavorful. The creamy jalapeño salsa had a NICE kick to it. All meals come with radish and pickled onions as garnish, but eating them with the meal made it even more refreshing and delicious. They need more than one location, but until then we will be back! (Luckily, I heard they do catering.)

We ordered cheese enchiladas and chicken fajitas this time. The service was good. The waitress checked on us. We got seated in the garden patio and it was nice there. They kept it cool. The food was okay. The fajitas were served smoking hot with side of tortillas and sour cream, pico, and guacamole only. The veggies were well grilled and overall pretty tasty. I opted to not get beans. The enchiladas were okay. I didn't like them very much last time, and still didn't like them this time, either. We ordered the churro dessert. It came served with a side of ice cream and whipped cream. It was also okay. My visit to La Morenita was better this time than the last time, but still the menu felt pricier and probably won't come back. P.S. The chips and salsa were really yummy.

My only real recommendation is to avoid sitting in the bar area if you're in a hurry. Service there tends to move a lot slower, so it can take a while to get your order in and get your food. The restaurant itself is a little run down, and the bathrooms could definitely use some attention, but the bar and outside area is decorated nicely and has a good atmosphere overall. All in all, it's a great local spot and one I keep going back to.

    Basic Mexican food…read more I ate at the Dale Rd Las Casuelas location with a group of 5 on a Sunday evening. When we arrived, there was no wait and many empty tables. It is a pretty standard local Mexican joint. It is very casual and family friendly. There is a small bar separate from the main dining room. There is also a large back room that can be reserved for special events. The decor was nice and the music was fine. We were provided chips, salsa, and beans. I was not a fan of these. The chips were dense and the beans were flavorless. The salsa was alright. It was pretty hot but wasn't utilized much because the chips weren't great. For my main dish, I ordered the Supreme Quesadilla with beef. It came with a side of beans and rice. I liked that the beans had cheese but I wasn't impressed with either side. The rice felt a little bit undercooked to me. The quesadilla itself was pretty good. It was very cheesy and had a lot of beef. I appreciate the large dollops of guacamole and sour cream. The service was disappointing. It took an extremely long time for the waiter to come and take our order. We were sitting there ready to order for probably 20 minutes or longer. Once we received the food, we did not see our waiter again. We were in desperate need of a water refill but the waiter never came by. To me, the service felt very slow and unenthusiastic.
