BEST BIRRIA DE CHIVO IN TOWN If you are looking to eat the best birria this is it!! Expect a delay if you go Saturday and Sunday morning this place is always pack so always expect to wait around 25 min or so if you are not willing to wait go to the next spot and stop leaving bad reviews to this place is just not fair people should be more understanding when you have a place to run like this one and is always pack there will be delays Anyway going back to my review I always stop by for birria Sunday morning , love the atmosphere the live music (mariachi band ) and the huge homemade tortillas The mariscada is always a good appetizer if you are not hungry enough. I like how they make the micheladas with not so much Clamato like others places Over all I give this place a 5 start review I will highlight recommend this place for birria de chivo

Receipt for two sodas
Rubi R.

Service was horrible, we were sat down right away and then ignored after they gave us our drinks. We first asked for a coke and a water, instead of a cup with water we were handed a water bottle. I wasn't going to pay restaurant prices for a water bottle so I asked for a lime jarto to instead. After waiting a decent amount of time for our waitress to stop gossiping, we decided to leave and just pay for the sodas. Another lady came out from the back with the rudest face. We were shocked that our total was over $10!! Ridiculously overpriced! Please save your time and money, I know I will!

I'm happy to find this gem of restaurant .. Had there cantarito and Jaimaica both were good . I'm definitely coming back again. Husband is from Jalisco, and he said their birria was delicious and he's very picky when it comes to birria. Had to get a plate to go it was so good.

Came here in a friends recommendation. It is in a shady part of town but it was worth it. The birria was delicious and the hand made tortillas were awesome. Service is a bit spotty seems like they were new but no matter, next time I'll just get that birria to go. Saw a sign before we left that they serve iguana broth on Monday's? That sounds like fun so next time my daughter is home from college we are going to try it.

If you're ever on the 99 and want to stop for great food this is the place for birria. They have beef or goat beef. Fresh Tacos de birria as well Tortillas echas a mano (handmade) Salsas are fresh Affordable Consome (broth) is amazing The best part about the birria I thought, it was meticulously prepared NOT to have any bones in it. Unlike other spots I had before. For me i eat and talk and get careless definitely don't want to choke or anything. Good place to get birr

Brought here for bunch by a friend who's from the area and it was okay. I was thinking of just giving them 3 stars but the live music did bump it up a bit. Parking gets crazy and if you do come I recommend the birria. Seems to be their specialty. I'm personally not a big fan but if I have to come back I'd probably opt for ordering it. This time around I had a chicken fajita and that was NOTHING like a fajita. I wish I'd taken a picture but I started eating it and totally forgot about the picture. The chicken was not the long slice pieces of chicken I normally get at other places. It was more like fried chunks of chicken loaded with chunky pieces of red and green bell pepper. Their handmade tortillas did make the difference and I'd be tempted to come back just for that. Their side dish of refried beans (lame) and rice (cold and chunky) were disappointing to say the least. Their michelada were good but not the best ever. They did have live music, I can't say whether it was a band or a mariachi but it's always nice to have live music going on while you have a meal. The server was nice and the owner graciously changed the channel from Fox News to Sunday Football. ;) Apparently they will be serving carnitas soon so we might go back to check them out. Yum

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.)

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.

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.

There was no lettuce, salsa, guacamole, tomatoes, or any of the other toppings you'd expect in a burrito bowl. I'm giving it 2 stars only because the beans and chicken tasted good. However, paying $23 for a bowl this bare is hard to justify. I even asked for salsa on the side, and it wasn't included with my order. For the price, I expected a much more complete meal. Unfortunately, this experience was disappointing, and I won't be returning.

With only an hour for lunch, it must have been about 1:15-1:17 pm to finally get our order placed. Food came in segments. First 3 people got their food and had to wait another 5 mins for the other 3 to get their order. For an hour lunch and the time it took to get our meals, we probably only had 15 mins to eat. Most everyone had to get a to go box to take their lunch home. Seeing that the place was kind of empty and past the 12 noon lunch, not sure why we didn't get our order in faster so we could have enjoyed the meal. I ordered the chicken milanesa- breaded chicken was thinly cut. I packed most of it to eat later. Wasn't that bad. 5 stars Service- waitress was nice. For some reason, our time wasn't being considered so the slowness of getting our orders in is why I am giving it 3 stars. This location chosen by birthday person but if I had my choice, I would rather have went to the Oakdale location since the McHenry parking isn't the most pleasant place to get in and out.

Tonight we ordered takeout: two chicken enchiladas with green sauce, all rice, and another order of grilled fish tacos. The first order we got home was thighs, not chicken breasts. We called, and they said they'd redo it; back I went. When we got home, the next order was the same thing. We checked the receipt, and they listed it as Enchilada Ckn Breast. My wife called and was told that they would replace it with one more enchilada. We explained, CHICKEN BREASTS! No problem. This time #3 was one enchilada with shredded chicken. When I picked up #3, I clarified with them that they mix chicken breasts with thigh meat...Yes. But you put "Chicken breast " on the receipt, and you charged me $1.50 extra for it being a chicken breast. The young lady did not respond; she just looked like a deer caught in the headlights. You don't treat your loyal customers who eat at your restaurant twice a week for over a year at $30-$46 per order like this. Especially in a town where we have no lack of Mexican restaurants. Something has changed, maybe a new cook (not a chef!). Maybe they were purchased, but whatever it is, the food quality has taken a nosedive. Take care of your customers, or someone else will.

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.

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.
