I found this place by chance. It is not bad. The personal is friendly and nice. Food is ok. But it is definitely not "authentic Mexican". My wife likes it and that is good enough for me. My issue is that they charge you for every single thing. One extra scoop of ranchero sauce for $1.99. Really? Come on?! And you expect to keep costumers this way. The food is already expensive as it is. They really need to stop nickel and dime every single thing. They don't even give you salsa and chips with your to go order. Come on! read more

FANTASTIC Mexican food, and my wife and think most Mexican places we've tried are bland and watered-down for Aneticans who can't handle strong spicy flavors. We're already looking forward to coming back here and trying other items on the menu, next time we're in Hemet. I had the chili-verde, it was excellent. My wife had the flautas, which were maybe the best I've ever tried. The flavor was great and it was light and flakes. The staff was very friendly. Highly recommended. read more

Had a rather unexpected visit from family coming in from out of town. I remembered that my sister- in- law loves Chile Relleno so I Yelped around and landed on La Morenita. We decided to give it a go and I'm so glad we did. Everything tasted very fresh and the portions were plentiful. My dad always gauges a good Mexican restaurant by the flavor of the beans and he gave them a hearty thumbs up. He really enjoyed his Camarones al Mojo de Ajo. Mom and I split the Nachos and the hit the spot. As for the Chile Relleno? She's already vowed to come here again on her next visit. read more

My wife and I came to town last night from San Diego and were looking for a place to grab lunch. She asked a friend of hers who lives in the area and she recommended La Morenita. When we got there, we walked inside and noticed quite a few people so we knew the place had to be good. We were right! We were seated and given our menus along with chips and salsa. After a few minutes, the waitress came by to take our order. After a short amount of time, our drinks and sopes came out. The sopes tasted just like the ones that my in-laws (from Mexico) make and we felt like we were sitting in their living room having dinner. Definite home style cooking here! We were so full by the time that we got done that we ended up taking the leftovers back to our hotel room and eating them for dinner. Thanks for a great meal and for great service. We will be back! read more

Ambiance is great; I initially choose this spot due to the outside patio which is full roof'ed and sun protected; trying to hold to the covid protocols until at least this next variant is out of the way. Good little mom and pop spot; we took our food to go; which consisted of a carne asada burrito and chicken fajita plate meal. The burrito was good and the salsa verde went well with it. The chicken fajita torts tasted freshly made. Walked out at about $35 read more

This is my new favorite Mexican food restaurant! It's small inside, but clean and well decorated. The waitress was kind and brought us chips and salsa right away. It has a very cozy feel. The chips and salsa were so good. The chips were warm and the salsa was delicious. A tiny bit spicy, but not really. So tasty. I ordered the beef flautas combination plate and they were hands down the BEST flautas I've ever had. The shell was fried to a crispy perfection, and the meat inside was incredibly juicy. My husband got the cheese enchiladas and ate every last bite. He said they were delicious. The rice was amazing. I'm not usually too big on rice, but this was so flavorful! If you're looking for a delicious Mexican food restaurant, this is the place and it's worth the drive if you aren't local. read more

The chipotle sauce was flavorful but there was just not enough of it on the surf and turf burrito. Also it seemed like a flavor was missing from the food itself. My carne asada fries was missing something from them as well as the fries being undercooked. Would this be a place where I'll return? sure mom and pop places always need second chances. Maybe this was a off day, maybe their best chef wasn't there. It could be anything but I'll give the a shot much later on this year.

I ordered some Carne Asada fries to see if their meat was worth the hype. It was, I loved my meal! The carne was perfectly crispy and cooked, no fat detected. My only issue was the overload of onion, but that's an easy fix for the next visit. Tacos Los Palomos is very reminiscent of traditional Mexican restaurants. They're making big waves with their Oaxacan dishes and flavor. From the tiniest ingredients, from cheese and beyond, everything is top-notch. Note, possibly due to the cost of these ingredients, the menu is mildly pricey. It was $64 for three people with three meals and three drinks. Thankfully, they have deals everyday like torta discounts on Sundays. Service was solid, the girl at the register was fun. The ambiance was pretty mellow. Sometimes they had soccer games playing or music, other moments they had moments of quiet. I loved the big faux tree in the middle of the restaurant, it's like a "themed cafe"! Also, it's pronounced "PALOMOS" people, not "PALOMAS"! Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk :)
