My boyfriend and I are new to the Houston area from Chicago. So we use yelp to guide us for some much needed breakfast on a Sunday morning. We love Mexican food so we wanted to stay authentic. Las morenitas definitely didn't disappoint! It's a bit a dive which doesn't deter us one bit. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and to no surprise the restaurant was packed always a good sign. We were quickly sat. I had menudo, I probably wouldn't order again because it had the "menudo smell" if you're an OG menudo eater you know what I'm taking about. My boyfriend had the green chilaquiles, they were loaded with cheese and spicy! Very tasty. I would go back! I would just try something new next time. read more

Everything I've ordered from there so far has been really good. The only I would suggest staying away from is the menudo. I would definitely never order that again. Everything else Nopales en chile rojo, apporeado, tacos de chicharon to carne a la mexicana has been spot on. read more

Amazing food, friendly service and the vibes are just right. Anything in the menu is recommended

This place is so good. Like if want to eat authentic Mexican Food come here. They serve handmade tortillas. The guacamole and chips are good. The Jamaica drinks taste really great. My favorite plate is Barbacoa a la mexicana taste amazing. They have the tortas made with chicken taste also really good and the prices are nice for the food that they offer. I will also recommend to try the Aporreado (machacado) plate. The enchiladas taste really good with the quail. read more

Las Morenitas - Barbacoa a la Mexicana - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Red salsa was hot sauce green one was jalapeño water Nachos was tasteless literally, tilapia was frozen and tasteless but the lemonade and the coke was delicious.thank you hope I never come here again. read more

Everything is phenomenal my favorite dish is the aporreado (i think thats what its called) its basically machacado in salsa.. comes with beans and rice. Its a bit spicy so it really helps the cruda aka the hangover. The only thing I would suggest is regarding both the flour and corn tortillas, although they are good but they are kind of thick and in my personal preference and opinion I think if they were thin they would be a whole lot better and earned the 5th star.. Still highly recommend! The owners take pride in their business and day to day operations, that speaks a lot! read more

Moderately priced dishes. Good size portions. Kitchen to table wait time is quick. Excellent customer service. Great menu variety.

Wow, what can I say? They claim to be homemade Mexican meals and no kidding. They live up to their claims. The meal actually did taste homemade! On the menus will not be your traditional meals which threw me for a loop at first. I decided on their take on fajitas and was pleasantly surprised. The beans and rice, full of flavor and cooked just right with the rice being tender and spiced nicely. The bean refried beans were runnier then I typically like but after sitting for a minute it was actually the right consistency to spread on the homemade tortillas. The fajitas meat was cut into tiny squares which proved beneficial when building a taco and eating it. I could not be more impressed with the flavor and level of spiciness these beef fajitas provided. The complimentary tortilla chips are very thick and the sauces are very smooth and mouth burning hot!!! The folks here are fluent bilingually which made the dining experience very welcome. From the time I got here to the time I left, felt as though I was a guest at a gracious hostesses home. The silverware... Something I pay attention to and if a restaurant has thrift store silverware I don't go back. Same as plates. Here, you will find the same quality of silverware as in most homes. They have weight to them which is nice. The plates are plain but heavy and not the cheap cafeteria plastic. Well done! I will certainly come back and try more menu items. They also allow for phone orders which is really nice. They don't have a soda fountain. Not a big deal. I drank water instead. Great real mexican food. read more

Lots of good options . Services was good and the theme / atmosphere was great. Food was decent .

Came in had to seat myself took 20 minutes for the waitress to deign to look at me to take my order. I got cold tortillas. That's a no no in a Mexican restaurant! The menudo was overcooked to the point that it felt like chewing on rubber. I came here on a recommendation from my boss but he painted a totally different picture than what I found! Lousy service and even worse food! I put about half a dozen limes. A ton of oregano and salt, even added avocado to take some of the nasty taste in check but all to no avail. Never will come here again. You shouldn't either read more

Las Morenitas - Pescado y camarones a la plancha ! Wow , super sabroso y exquisito. - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

They honestly do not even deserve 1 star, but that's the least I can give ‍ let's just say this place has the WORST customer service. I have been to nice restaurants and I have been to your typical hole in the wall places, and everywhere I have gone if I did not like the food, they are more than willing to bring me something else. However, this one place literally knows nothing about customer service. I asked the waitress how spicy my enchiladas were going to be & she said "a little". So of course I got them. Once I was served they were superrrr spicy. I then asked to return my plate & get something else because they were too spicy. I was told that there are no levels of spicy, it's either hot or it isn't. Last time I checked, there are levels of spicyness. Oh, and that I would still have to pay for a plate of food that I was not satisfied with. This place is going to go NOWHERE if they don't learn to satisfy customers. I literally only wanted to trade the enchiladas for 2 tacos. I hope the owners read this so they can know they lost customers. :) I will let everyone I know to not try that place unless they want to be disappointed. read more

I love authentic Mexican food but this is way too deep down Mexican food that I'm just not familiar with and used to. Don't get me wrong, I rather have authentic than Tex Mex but I couldn't get pass the strong taste. According to my Hispanic husband, the style of cooking at Las Morenitas is what you get in different regions of Mexico. The closest I get to the Motherland is Taco Del Sol or other taquerias in the South Houston and Pasadena area. First off, the chips were cold. They were left out and uncover on a buffet table in the corner near the cashier. See pics below. It must be hard times because they were cutting cost by serving the chips in a plastic bowl! Plastic bowl?!?! I was scared the waitress will bring my food in plastic picnic plates. Luckily, she did not. I ordered the chicken enchiladas plate and my husband had the beef enchiladas plate. My daughter had the kid's breakfast plate. The plating was beautiful. Maybe cutting the cost on the bowl was a good thing because they were generous with the lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado toppings. The Spanish rice was perfectly cooked and not hard and dried like some places. However, it could have use a little bit more salt. The refried beans were too runny but my husband likes it this way. I don't know if it was the seasoning or the marinade they used but I didn't like the pollo guisado(stewed chicken). The enchiladas sauce had a strong dried chili flavor and when you paired with the chicken, it tasted so odd. I wished I could have ordered the beef fajitas enchiladas instead because it tasted a lot better but my husband didn't care for it either. I found myself eating my daughter's left over pancakes which was surprisingly good by the way. If you like deep down in village of Mexico style of cooking, you're at the right place. I'm willing to try Las Morenitas again because I did like my husband's beef fajitas over mine. I can't say the same for my husband. It looks like I'll be dining alone next time. When I do, I would like to try their tacos. read more

Was excited to try their breakfast with fresh hand made tortillas. But we got there at 11am and they stop serving breakfast at 11am. I ordered 2 fried Gorditas(chicharrón and fajita). They were delicious!! The chicharrón was spicy but very flavorful. The place is small, very attentive waitresses and they had karaoke going on too!! Also they have a small station of the chips and salsa and you can serve yourself as many times you want!! read more

My family and I have been supporting this business since they were at a smaller location. The owners have always been so welcoming and delightful.

Even during peak, busy hours we have always experience excellent service. 100% recommend! read more

This place has quickly made me a regular and offers great home style Mexican food with consistent quality and appropriate pricing. Favorite dish is pollo a la Mexicana. Recently tried the chuletas en roja, which was solid but a bit salty for my preference. Food is always fresh and straight off the griddle. read more

I would never recommend breakfast here. Took 2 ladies to take our breakfast order and it's only 2 of us. Then they bring my order wrong. I asked for bacon with both ladies and they bring beans which I never asked for. Then they said I didn't order it. They charged everything separately 2 scrambled eggs $5.50 side of 2 bacons $1.79 papas $2 and then they charge the tortillas separately also. Wtf but they have a kids plate like that but not adults. Tried to get our waitresses attention several times and had to get the bus boy get what we need. Service sucked and will never go back there. read more

Wanted some Mexican food and found this little gem! I can truly this is some good authentic Mexican food! I had the enchiladas rojas with queso fresco and my mom had a menudo...the condiments in both were excellent! Beware tho...the salsas are spicy! But they're addicting! Most definately will come back read more

They don't check on you after food is served, food portion also a little smaller then I would like but overall very good and a decent price.

Best authentic Mexican food! The service is always great and the people here are very friendly. If you haven't been here you're missing out! I've had their taquitos dorados, enchiladas, carne a la mexicana, and their tacos. Everything I've ordered has been REALLY GOOD. read more

Las Morenitas - a plate of quesadillas - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

We are in town for the holidays and stopped by to grab a bite at this 'hole in the wall' treasure. It is kind of tricky to find the spot hidden in a small shopping center. We were very pleased and will be going back as often as we can while we are in the area. The food is great! Best homemade Mexican food you can buy in town, and when I say "homemade" I mean it's really made from scratch. Freshly made and the taste is genuine, traditional, Mexican-style cuisine. Handmade flour and corn tortillas served with your meal. If you are looking for a cultural experience that will leave your palate 100% satisfied this is the place. If you are looking for a fast-food experience, this is not the place for you. Being a business owner myself, I understand the value in great customer service combined with reasonable pricing and this place covers it all. My family and I will take this experience as a memorable one from our vacation in Houston. Wish they were close to us in California! read more
