Packaged salsa.
Vision R.

Ugh this place was the best of Miguel's Jr with big chunks of steak on their nachos and burritos. Decent salsa. Drive thru. Well now they suck. Small cheesy pieces of burnt steak. Salsa is in plastic packaging and barely any meat in the burrito. But they have no problem charging 36.00! Yea I'll go to my local Mexican spots. Bye bye Miguel!

Amazing food great service very satisfied Keep up the good work will keep on coming back

Tamales cheese and green chile
Britney M.

Cheese and green Chile tamales all dayyyyyy! I am obsessed with the cheese tamales! They are so good. I've had them at other locations- very good. They were just as good at this location! I think this is my favorite location for cheese tamales. They steam the masa perfectly! I gobbled those tamales down so fast! Delicious! I hit the drive-thru. Service was good. They were quick with it! I was in and out fast, and on my way. I had an appointment to get to, so the drive-thru was perfect. The food was hot and fresh. I had napkins and hot sauce in the bag- perfect! Food tasted amazing. My belly was full. That's a great day if you ask me lol

3/29/26 Miguel's Jr Orange, CA...Came here with a family member today. I got my Carnitas Crave On once again, I just can't get enough of it! I had a Carnitas Quesadilla with the Serrano Salsa and a Carnitas Taco with green salsa. I definitely recommend you try the Carnitas because it is so mouth-watering good and you can put it in or on top of any other item! I had the refreshing iced horchata to drink to wash all the Carnitas yumminess down! Come give it a try, it's only for a limited time! My son in law had the pork salsa Verde bowl. The place was very clean and welcoming. The workers were very nice. Great visit !!!

But they made me sit in to wait for my food from the drive-through. I did not order a lot.

This is for today in the drive thru I don't know what was happening. The girl that took my order was great but once I got to the window and paid I was told to go park out front and they'd bring my food out. Shortly after I noticed everyone pulling up next to me (also waiting) had their drink orders I had ordered two sodas and didn't get mine. I had to wait a good amount of time before someone came out he only brought one drink. When I was told my order, my chicken quesadilla wasn't mentioned I had to ask and he said it was in the bag. I had to wait while for them to go to other cars. My drink finally came out without a straw. I had to ask for that. When I got home I realized my quesadilla was just a cheese, not sure what I was charged for because I was never given a receipt either. I'm hoping this was just a one off because I love Miguel's I'm a Corona kid and since moving to OC/Long Beach area I had missed it. Hopefully I'll get one closer to Long Beach because this is a drive still.

if their business hours are 7 AM to 10 PM they should be open at 7:15 AM
Cheri L.

yelp says that this is Miguel Junior's is open at 7 AM. I went through the drive-through and it tells me we are closed and it's 715. I end up driving away and there's people inside. They're just not choosing to work. This is very irritating.

Tiny burritos now, like Del taco sized
Josh D.

This place is pathetic now. I used to give it a 5 star and come often but the portions keep getting smaller and smaller. Got 2 burritos and 2 small drinks for almost $30 bucks and they couldn't even give me more then 2 green salsas I asked for.. The burrito was barely twice the size of my ATM card and it was super thin with hardly any potatoes. Opened it up, the bacon was quite sad looking. It was MAYBE the amount of 1 slice, barely any marinated potatoes that were pretty dry and couldn't taste the verde sauce they are supposed to be marinated in. Sad times I guess, but prices keep going up.

Glove fingertip extracted from taquito.
William W.

Dropping my review a point. Why do I keep eating here. Today I got the tip of a glove in my chicken taquito. At least there wasn't part of a finger in it. This really reinforces my opinion that management is asleep at the switch.

The Miguel's Trio which is a taco, burrito and lemonade for only 8 dollars is a very good deal especially with the quality. You get a choice between hard and soft shell and chicken and beef. I ended up getting the beef hard shell with the beans, rice and chicken burrito and chips and guac on the side. I personally enjoyed it. However I wasn't the biggest fan of the guacamole. Everything else was pretty good. It wasn't as busy in the dinner hours and service overall is good. I would definitely come back for the $8 deal again.

Chips n guac
Jessica G.

Have you ever been to Miguel's Jr.? I know a lot of my Yelp friends have. Been coming here for many years the first location was the Corona. Far drive but worth it, then boom boom boom they started expanding and opened them up all over Orange County. The excitement when that happened was real lol. Always get the El potato it comes with cheese and shredded beef which is amazing. The guac and chip's delicious, love how the chips are fresh. Ordered chicken tamales and a bean rice and cheese burrito. Loved it all, it was busy that day and lots of people in the drive through. I recommend this location it is clean, and the workers were really friendly and nice, the tables were not clean but it's ok. The food and service more than make up for it. If you haven't tried their food I highly recommend that you do just once. The El Potato burrito to me is the best. Have a beautiful day, share kindness to everyone Aloha

Overall a great experience…read more The pros: Came in on a Saturday afternoon and was sat down to be greeted by a lovely server. Had red and white sangria. Both were good but we both preferred the white. Queso fundido was good but didn't come with chips so we ordered chips and salsa. Mole tostadidas were delightful, full of flavor. Esquites: the bomb. Super flavorful and we cleaned the plate. Churrosnwere good, but the dipping sauces left something to be desired. A little runny and preferred the hot churro on its own. The cons: the only thing that was a little disappointing was the fact that they served us the end of a bag of chips. While the chips were fine, it was surprising that at a michelin star restaurant they didn't serve homemade chips. Worse still, we got the tail end of the bag of chips. The top of the bowl had regular sized chips but they were just hiding the smaller broken odds and ends that you find at the bottom of the bag.

My friend and I arrived around 6:30 pm as walk ins on a Sunday. We instantly were told the best…read morethey can do is sit us at the bar, but even the hostess looked at the bar and saw there were no seats available. She then offered us the "bar bench" and said we can still order food and drinks and would be able to move up to the bar when spots opened. I looked inside the restaurant and the tables outside and there was plenty of seating available in my opinion. I asked if we could just join the waitlist instead of sitting at the crowded bar, and we were told the waiter was 40 mins long. We said okay as we didn't mind waiting. Then as we sat on the curb to wait for an available table, the hostess came to us and said we could be sat at that moment but she NEEDED the table back by 7:30 for a reservation. We said no worries and got sat. The hostess emphasizes about 2 more times that we NEEDED to be done by 7:30pm. We kept an eye out the entire time for the empty tables near us to see if they'd get filled the time we were there and only about 2 tables did. The table behind us never did. About 15 mins after getting sat, the hostess came back and told us not to rush, but we already felt unwelcome/rushed as walk ins at that point. I understand the hostess was probably stressed with reservations, but we were the only walk in and there were plenty of tables available the 1 hour we were there. Mole enchiladas: The enchiladas were filled with just chicken. The chicken was dry and seemed to have been boiled with no seasoning. Wish there was some cheese or something added to the inside. The Mole sauce was good though! The platanos & rice paired very well. Frijoles Negros: we're bean lovers and ordered a side of refried black beans to share. It was more than enough The portions were pretty big (in my opinion) we each finished 1 enchilada, the rice & platanos, and half the beans.

Look if there's anything I know I know good Mexican food…read morewhy because I'm Mexican I eat Mexican food every day to me. I don't call it Mexican food. I just call it food cause that's what I eat for breakfast lunch and dinner so when I'm telling you that this place has some really good food trust me you want to come out and try it. Everything they have on the menu is bomb as fuck. Their drinks are bomb. The service is bomb. That's the reason I keep coming back all the way from the inland Empire to Orange to eat their food this is one of my favorite spots to come and join the rest of my family. We all come from different parts of Southern California just to eat here so if you're yelping and you're curious to know how good this place is stop it already just come in you won't be disappointed!! I do have to warn you that this is a Cantina restaurant so the music is loud but guess what? I fucking love loud music!!

Writing this review is a little difficult because the place has potential, it just needs a few…read moretweaks. To begin with, the place is SO loud it felt like I was in a club. Probably better for a nighttime gathering, but kind of threw off our brunch talking session. This is definitely a personal preference, but prepare to be extremely overstimulated. The place is absolutely gorgeous! Kudos to whoever did the interior decorating because everything is visibly pleasing. Even the presentation of drinks and food were great and "instagram-worthy". My friends and I did bottomless mimosas for $35 which is a fair price, but the rest of the menu was ridiculously overpriced. $15 Base for chilaquiles but it's a minimum of $7 to add protein (a very minuscule amount) AND an extra $4 just to add eggs?? Regular drinks were extremely tax as my friend's latte horchata was $12 and it was not good at all. The food was not bad, but the upcharging and skimpy portions definitely put this place on my "no" list. HOWEVER, if they just make minor tweaks with the volume, pricing, and food quantity it definitely could be a great place to go! The staff is friendly and the vibes are right, there just needs to be some changes for me personally.

First off, parking is tight and limited, with overflow spilling onto street parking. Once you get past the parking situation, though, the service is wonderful. As for the food, everything was good and authentic. However, I couldn't get over the fact that the guacamole appetizer costs $14. It was good, but honestly, not that good for the price. The plate is generous and we ordered our usual of burritos, quesadillas, tacos and huevos. My favorite is the Avila's chicken noodle soup!

First time here, and overall, we had a good experience. What I really liked was the service…read more Everyone was super nice and helpful, from the servers to the rest of the staff. Our water glasses were always full, and they kept the table clean as soon as we finished a plate. The food was good, but not the best I've tried. I had the Grande Taco Salad, and I really enjoyed it. We also ordered the seafood tacos, but unfortunately, the shrimp had a little bit of a soapy taste. We let our server know, and they were very nice about it and offered to get her something else. A note for anyone who doesn't eat pork: ask for the beans prepared "a la olla" instead of the refried beans. I asked our server if the refried beans were made with manteca (pork lard), and he confirmed that they were, so just something to be aware of when ordering. The restaurant itself has a lot of character. It used to be a church, so it has beautiful colorful windows with designs, lots of wood inside, and some huge, beautiful lamps in the middle. They also have outdoor seating, but it was way too hot to sit outside when we went. Overall, it was a nice first visit, especially because of the friendly service and atmosphere. I'm giving it 4 stars because of the soapy taste in the shrimp and because, while the food was good, I've had better Mexican food at other places.

Dinner was here last night with my babe…read more The parking situation is awkward, as it stretches around the building, but wasn't too much of an issue. The front and entrance area to the restaurant are well maintained and give me a rainforest cafe type feeling. We had a lime margarita and strawberry mixed margarita, both of which were very large and very good. Complimentary chips and salsa were served, and the waiter was very prompt with water refills and service. The ambience and dim lighting make for a relaxed atmosphere. I had an asada burrito and babe had a combination plate. Both of which were very large portioned and tasted great. Will be visiting again.

1 star -- Family-owned for decades, and this is how they treat a 30-year customer…read moreI've been coming to Moreno's for 30+ years -- family celebrations, graduations, work events, etc. I was here two weeks ago. Today I came in with family, ordered about 15 minutes after happy hour ended, and asked the waiter if they could still honor happy hour pricing because we were only a few minutes late and we're longtime regulars. He said he'd ask the manager. Fine. He came back and said no. I told him, half-joking, that's fine -- I'd talk to the manager when we were done. I did not demand she come to the table. I did not make a scene. Two minutes later a woman I'd never seen in three decades of eating here walks up in a confrontational tone: "Is there a problem here?" She is Linda, her family owns the place -- she made that clear -- and she was acting as manager. She then said a lot of people claim they've been coming for 30 years just to get a discount. She questioned whether I actually had, said she has never seen me before. She kept pushing after I tried to shut it down so we could finish lunch with family. Aggressive, condescending, and completely out of line for a drink-special question I was already prepared to drop. We offered to pay for the drinks and leave. She said she didn't want our money. Something about her father dying a year ago and he wouldn't take it either. A family that's run this restaurant for nearly half a century sent out a manager I'd never met to accuse a 30-year customer of lying over fifteen minutes on a happy hour price. That is not hospitality. That is not how you treat people who have spent decades celebrating here. I will never eat here again, neither will my family. There are plenty of places nearby that still know what a regular looks like.
