BARBACOA $20.99 Steamed cheek beef, served with rice and beans.
Taylor T.

Huge menu, amazing food! Pretty huge portions and everything was hot and fresh. It was very busy so it did take a long time to get our food and drinks. The waiter was very nice though and looked to be servicing many tables. He was kind and took 10% off our bill. They have a huge selection of fun adult drinks and many people were ordering them which was fun to see.

This place was legit! Lots of different options to choose from, staff was attentive and kept checking on us, and the place is very clean and updated while still feeling authentic! Food was tasty and had generous portions, would definitely try again! The only downside was the arroz con leche wasn't that great but our main meals were delicious!

During a recent Saturday evening visit, I was seeking a casual dinner experience. Although the ambiance was impressive and the venue was busy, the food quality did not meet expectations. The tacos contained overcooked and rubbery meat, and there were discrepancies with my order. I specifically requested a spicy smothered burrito, but it arrived without sauce. Furthermore, our server seemed more focused on serving beverages to a large party than attending to our needs. As a result, I do not plan to return. The decline in service and food quality is evident.

Met up with some friends for New Year's Day lunch at La Morena off Mississippi, the old Manila Bay location. The menu was gigantic with food ranging from large party trays, Hispanic staples such as plate meals, to tacos and tortas, to sushi. There is certainly something for everyone. The restaurant is very large and accommodating for large groups of people with TVs throughout the restaurant. We were seated quickly but service from drinks, to the food, to the bill was very slow. The waiter was very nice and apologetic though and even took 10% off our bill without asking. It could have been a holiday thing as the place was very busy as well. All of the food tasted flavorful and fresh! My torta was very good but the fries were pretty cold and I likely wouldn't get them again.

Would not have stopped in here had it not been for the Agave Challenge going on this month. I'm glad La Morena is participating because they have really good food! They offer an extensive menu that includes traditional dishes as well as seafood and sushi. I was craving a steak taco salad and it did not disappoint. Actually, it was one of the better steak salads I've had in a while. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Drinks were ok. A little too sweet for my liking and too many seeds. Server was very nice as was the manager. However, time stood still for a good while during the 1pm shift. Will definitely go back for the food!

This has been my go to mexican restaurant now and the only one i go to, i dont eat mexican food often but this place got me hooked! their agua frutas is always good and the decoration is nice and inviting with plenty of seats. the food is always and always good and very delicious, never had a single complaint everytime my friends and i come to dine in. Service is fast to get seated and orders placed and the servers are always friendly, but I do wish it was a little faster and our table fets check in more often because there has been alot of times when we come where we had trouble finding our server or flagging someone down for something like utensils ir extra plates, but overall La Morena is so good and have definetely made me become a regular and a bigger fan of mexican food!

El Huachinango Zarandeado estaba bien rico lo recomiendo 100% también mi mesero José era muy amable y muy atento

My food was amazing and my waiter Jose was amazing super attentive and super kind I definitely recommend this place for Mexican food!!!

Barbacoa Tacos

The food at La Morena was very good! There were tons of options to choose from as the menu is quite large. I had the Verde enchiladas which were very good and very plentiful. You will definitely go home with a to go box. All of the dishes were good and my friend ordered the octopus which was also very goods the service was a little slow but it seemed as if they were limited with servers working. However, the servers were nice and knowledgeable about the menu. The only downside of the experience are the prices. They seemed to be quite high but now a days, every restaurant is expensive so I looked past that. The restaurant is clean, decorated and open! Give this spot a try.

I came back to give this location another try because the La Morena on Colfax and Dayton is great, but unfortunately, my experience here was no better than my first visit. During my visit, I noticed that the prices I was charged did not match the prices listed on the menu. When I politely brought this discrepancy to the manager's attention, the response I received was dismissive and unprofessional. Accurate pricing, consistent service, and respectful treatment of all customers are basic expectations for any dining establishment. Unfortunately, this visit failed to meet those standards. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and makes the necessary improvements.

Fish tacos Baja style

La Morena serves big cocktails, big plates, and has a big book of a menu to choose from. We went for a late lunch at 1:00pm, which seems to be, from other reviews, a time when service isn't so timely. We were greeted and seated immediately. There was only one server for a restaurant that had 8 tables seated, the manager, and a busser. The manager made our margaritas for us which were made with care, with fresh fruit, and took about 20 minutes to get. My Rosita De Chava Margarita was sweet--more fruit than tequila. After another 15 minutes, I had to wave at the server to let him know we wanted to order food. Food came out quickly and was plentiful. The Baja fish tacos were lightly battered with a spicy cream sauce on top. Next time, I will ask for light or no lettuce since there was a lot. The restaurant was festively decorated for the upcoming Father's Day. Overall: Food 4/5, Drink 3/5, Service 2/5 while friendly, lower score only because more servers are needed.

Birria tacos

Came here while visiting my brother and the food was absolutely amazing. I had the fajitas Alambre and there was so much food, definitely enough for 2. Vanessa provided most amazing service. I would highly recommend this place.

First time coming here and it was really good. They have a giant menu and the local is clean. Staff was very friendly and atmosphere was fun! There were plenty of birthdays and they had a lobster and cow come out and sing with the staff. It was very festive. The drinks were enormous and the food was wonderful! This is definitely a must try!!

Started with the bean dip and was delicious! The chips and salsa were yummy, too! Also had fajitas, chicken burrito, nachos and all were delicious!

We were on our way to drop my sister off at the airport and had some time to kill, so of course we…read morehopped on Yelp to find something nearby. A lot of places popped up, but this Mexican restaurant really stood out -- great reviews and the food pictures looked amazing. It's about 13 minutes from the airport, which made it super convenient. From the outside, it looks small, but once you walk in, it's surprisingly spacious. We were seated immediately, and our server was absolutely phenomenal -- so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. For an appetizer, we ordered the queso fundido with chorizo (you can choose corn or flour tortillas). This is one of my favorite dishes to get at any Mexican restaurant if they offer it, and this one did not disappoint. The cheese was perfectly melty and stretchy, and the chorizo had great flavor that paired so well with it. Wrapping that cheesy, savory goodness in a warm tortilla? So good. For my main dish, I ordered the quesabirria -- corn tortillas filled with birria and cheese, fried crispy, and served with consommé for dipping. It was decent, but I will say it didn't have quite as much flavor as I'm used to with quesabirria. Still enjoyable, just could've used a bit more seasoning. The beans were actually delicious and full of flavor, but the rice was a little bland and could've used some salt. Overall, the service was amazing, the restaurant was clean, and even though it was busy, everything came out in a timely manner. The prices were also very reasonable -- definitely not expensive for the quality and portions. I would absolutely come back to try other dishes. With just a little more seasoning in some areas, it would easily be a five-star spot for me!
