I googled "best Mexican food in the area" since we just moved here from LA and I don't know much, and this was one of the top options. I am so glad I chose this place. The food was delicious and the restaurant was such a cute little vibe. The employee was very friendly and attentive as well. We will definitely be back.

Service and plates on tables looked to be well done. Small place but looks like they have outdoor possibly as well. The interior was nice. I'd have no problem sitting and dining in. Looking forward to my next order, see if the lightning strikes twice! Good job crew!

However the staff was able to make sure we could have cheese items and mild sauce for them. We ended up n getting the mild chilaqueles with scrambled eggs, the Verde enchiladas and the cheese flautas. They start you with chips and salsa which is always great for hungry and impatient kids. The kids loved the cheese flautas and the cheese on top. They also cleaned up the rice and beans. The chilaquillas were not too spicy so they enjoyed the sauce and scrambled eggs combo too. The chicken enchiladas were plenty but could have used a little more spice. They have some authentic Mexican photos on the wall and the tables are adorned with the Mexican table cloth. The prices are fair. I will have to return since its a kid favorite now.

The birria tacos were terrible. I'm not Mexican but I know the beef should be shredded. This had…read moretiny square chunks of beef with most of it being fat so everytime you bit into it, it was slimy! Also, their chicken soup is basically close veggies cooked in water with a leg of chicken thrown in. Based on this, I give it 2 down!

So I ordered one of their tortas with steak, jalapeño, onions and cheese. I was expecting a simple sandwich to hold me until I got home. What I was served was the biggest torta I had ever seen. And it was delicious! Fresh ingredients all around, loved everything especially the bread. The house made green and red hot sauces are amazing. Love the flavor and heat. The jalapeño in the torta kicked as well, I was a happy camper. Few tables to seat and eat, staff very friendly and helpful. Prices are moderate and worth it for the good quality food served. Loved how the place was nicely decorated for FIFA and gave a relaxing atmosphere with the games playing on TV. Can be a cool date spot as well. Looking forward to trying other menu items here.

I've been a customer of this place for a while, and honestly, I used to really like their food. But…read moremy experience with their service has become extremely frustrating and disappointing. A couple of years ago, I wasn't able to pick up an order due to a situation I couldn't control. Ever since then, they've refused to let me place orders. Every time I call, I'm told I'm not allowed to order or have food delivered to my house because of that one cancellation. It feels unfair to be permanently blocked over a single incident from two years ago. What makes this even more upsetting is that I've stayed loyal despite some serious issues. At one point, I even found a cockroach in my food. While I did report it at the time, I chose not to leave a public review because I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. They only replaced the food and didn't offer a refund or any real apology. I tried to continue supporting this place, but being denied service over and over again has made it clear that customer loyalty doesn't matter to them. It's disappointing because the food is good, but the way they treat customers makes it hard to justify coming back.

If you're looking for authentic, delicious Mexican food this is your spot! I ABSOLUTELY LOVEEE…read moretheir chicken tacos.. amazing, with their verde & red salsa..I even get it with avocado slices sometimes for an extra $3 why not.. deliciousss.. just writing about it is making my mouth watery. My co workers & I usually end up eating here at least once a week..we had to try other mexican establishments near by because 1. On Monday's this restaurant is closed & 2. Because they were on vacation but that's when we realized how much we loved this place.. after we tried the other two mexican spots we never went back to them. The restaurant itself it's small & cozy..but has enough chairs & tables if you want to sit down & enjoy your meal. It also has a TV & radio playing & a small but very clean bathroom. If you are wondering about where to park, they have a small parking lot behind the restaurant that you can park in if you can't find any street parking. I noticed it has a surveillance camera so you don't have to worry about anything happening to your car! Haha The workers are always very nice & helpful, we sometimes call & order ahead of time so it's ready when we come in to pick it up but they also will deliver near by, which is also a big plus. They take cc's but it is a min. Of $10 ... they also have desserts & a variety of drinks besides the mexican sodas. Ps. try out their chips & guac ... yum I will definitely be back.. like every week haha

Taqueria Morelos is your run of the mill mama and papa Mexican restaurant. The jar of horchata was…read morestaring at me begging to be ordered, but i fought the temptations and stuck to my mission. Tacos Al Pastor 7.3/10 - I can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel as though these tacos could have given me more. YES, the meat was flavorful and juicy, YES you can taste the pineapple, YES all the flavors came together harmoniously. But for some reason I kept thinking I was eating chicken, maybe it had to do with the way the meat was chopped up finely. Texture played a big role in determining how much I reallyyy liked these tacos. They were good and I would perhaps get them again, but i've definitely had better. Quesabirria 8.7/10 - When I opened the box them cheeses were staring at me and I knew I was gonna stretch that shit out. i was blown away buy how good the cheese melted into the savory meat dripping everywhere (yes everywhere). They did not hold back on the cheese, and i'm very grateful for that! The tortilla was solid but I wish they were just a tad bit more crunchy. I devoured them bitches tho so it's all good. Consome 8/10 - Textbook definition of consome right here, it elevated the birria tacos and brought out that meaty taste. On its own it gave a nice warm hearty feeling in my tummy. It was cozy and no further to be honest. Green sauce 6.9/10 - I know green sauces aren't typically the spiciest sauce you can get, but i detected zero spice levels! The taste was rather refreshing, and had a nice hint of lime to it. You don't notice the flavors as much when you put them on the tacos, which made me a tiny bit sad Red sauce 7.8/10 - I was worried this sauce would be on the bbq side of the flavor spectrum, but I was surprised but it's smoky richness and decent level of spice. don't go too heavy with this one because then you will see the levels of hotness that come with this sauce. I actually taste this one with my tacos and didn't overpower the meat flavors. I wish more red sauces were as complex as this one. Cilantro 10/10 - very fresh, generous, and green Overall experience 7.75/10 - Although I expected more from the Al Pastor tacos, the birria tacos made up for it and consome and red sauce really sealed the deal. next time i'm shit face drunk in newark and it's not too late I'll come back with a smile.

Now let's get into the food. It took about 20 minutes to get our chips and salsa, which were good. You could tell they were house made. The sauces were fantastic too, as well as my iced horchata and agua de hibiscus. As for our enchiladas, and tortas order... it came about an hour and 10 minutes after sitting. And it was cold. Obviously the cold factor meant it had been sitting out for a while which was disappointing. I'll have to give them another shot in the future to see if it was because they weren't prepared for the rush.

But honestly, in general, this feels much more like a place you order from for takeout or through Uber Eats or another delivery app. They have an agave bar and they've tried to make the place feel more like a restaurant, but the food itself just isn't that appealing to me. There are a few things that are decent, but overall, I wouldn't choose this place for a sit-down dinner. For me, this is more of a takeout/delivery spot than a restaurant I'd go out of my way to visit. PD their churros are good !!
