Actually I would go 4.5 for local Mexican due to the impressive selection of "sauces" to top your fajitas! We went with the "Roma" which included sun dried tomatoes mushrooms green onions it was SO GOOD on our chicken fajitas! I loved their house margarita and we even ordered a chocolate brownie with ice cream to share for desert ..perfect! read more

Morelia Mexican Cafe - House maragarita was great also the brownie ice cream was yummy! - Mexican Near Me - Elgin, Texas

First time here on a Sunday lunch I was a little hesitant on the yelp reviews but I'm glad I came in to try them out. We got seated right away not a lot of people for a Sunday and the service was fantastic. Service was fast Chips and salsa fresh and just the right amount of heat on the green salsa I ordered the beef fajita and it was so tender and seasoned to perfection. Rice was fluffy and seasoned. Refried beans perfect The hubby had taco plate and he said it was seasoned perfectly Will definitely return read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. Stopped here coming home from the ren faire. We said we had a party of 7. They sat us at a table for 6. We told the server, she said she would get a chair. She did not. We had to get it. They gave us a total of 2 menus and zero drink menus for 7 people (they restaurant was almost empty they weren't out of menus). Then the waitress proceeded to look annoyed as hell when we didn't know what we wanted to drink...because we had no drink menus. So she ungraciously brought us...one. The drinks were fine if you got a Mexican martini- but the coco loco was horrific. It was coconut milk with red wine poured in essentially, and had already started to separate by the time it got to the table. The food was inedible. And I never say that. I could even cut my tamale with a knife because the meat was so dry and rubbery. My chicken taco was a plain, unheated tortilla with NOTHING in it but a few pieces of overcooked dry as hell chicken (when the person next me to also got a taco and theirs had lettuce, cheese and tomatoes). The rice was cold and unflavored. The enchiladas were burned and they give you two teeny tiny ones instead of three like most places. But the prices are right up there on the higher side. I couldn't wait to get the hell out of there and will NEVER return. If you do find yourself there for some terrible reason- the salsas are good. You're safe with that. But overall, drive the extra minutes and go to Casa Garcia down the road! read more

Why not offer us the lunch menu....During lunch time? That's Weird. Drinks...meh. Top shelf margarita was mid. Quesadillas...great! Rice...crunchy. Tacos...great. Grab the mints on the way out the door...those were chefs kiss!!! read more

Morelia Mexican Cafe - Chicken Fajita. Picante Fajita Steak - Mexican Near Me - Elgin, Texas

This is a quiet restaurant. We can actually hear each other speak! It's good for family gatherings or small groups. There's a bar area which has a few TVs playing the sports channels. Their salsa is delicious and the food is tasty! Never have we had a bad plate or bad experience. The staff work hard to keep the place clean. I recommend Morelia! read more

Gross I ordered a nacho plate and the bean and cheese nachos. Nachos were made on tostada shells cut in half so 6 halves with jalapeños, scoop of guacamole on lettuce. Tostada shells are not nachos chips ‍ will not go back read more

MUST TRY the Romano fajitas with charro beans and inhouse made flour tortillas! Serves 2-3 people with a creamy cheese sauce on tender steak! Fried ice cream for dessert is a must! I only come here for this order and it never disappoints. Service depends if staff is short. read more

Morelia Mexican Cafe - Chicken Quesadillas - Mexican Near Me - Elgin, Texas

Always delicious, solid food. Great service. Good place to get to go food, too. We haven't been disappointed!

Everything Tony Z said in his review above is a huge exaggeration and BS. He's an entitled brat with nothing good to say about anything. The food at Morelia is excellent and I've had great service many times. I go out of my way for the great fajita assortment as well as the house-made salsas. Don't let one idiot scare u away! read more

It was alright. Looked way better than it tasted and the food came out cold. The margarita was weak... I don't even think there was any alcohol in that thang. I was disappointed with that cheese pull and lack of flavor the churro beans were perfect tho! The enchilada soup was good, kinda weird because I've never had it with mushrooms but it was tasty. We came and sat by the tv to watch the game, probably will come back to allow them to redeem themselves. During the week it stays pretty packed so maybe we caught them on a bad day. read more

We used to come here often, especially when they were in the small storefront next to the donut shop. I am so disappointed in the quality or lack thereof and the price. Their online prices do not match the price when you pick up your order. I ordered the fajitas Texanas for one, $19.99 ($3 more than posted online) and was charged an additional $3.50 for the "Texanas Sauce" which was watery and tasted sour. I received 8.5 very small, tough pieces of beef. The refried beans seem as if they were made days ago, dry, thick and crusty. The rice was undercooked and flavorless. The small queso advertised as $3.50 online was $8.99 and despite chips and salsa already being included (per front staff) the bag of chips I received was tiny, like the small brown paper bags they used to put beverages in at the gas station. If you're in the mood for quality Mexican food order from Azteca here in town or Restaurant Guadalajara in Manor. Morelia's was completely empty during dinner rush tonight (three tables, five guests) and I still waited 20 mins after my pick up time for my food to be ready. After getting the food home, I can definitely see why they were empty and why the prices have increased so much - lack of business. I won't ever be back. read more

Let's get this out the way, this place is below average!. This place might look fancy but don't let it fool you. Once I got in there was no one was at the counter, so I had to wait. Once we sat down after waiting for so long. We had to wait even more! you know for what? our drinks! the tables smelled atrocious, smelled like old sewage water made me loose my appetite a bit. read more

This stuff is bad. First the fries are so yellow and taste bad. the chicken is hard and it took over an hour to get a coke. i am still waiting as i'm typing this. Do not come here if your not patient read more

Horrible experience! Took a bite of my food then looked at it before taking another bite and there was a roach in it. I immediately showed it to the waitress and she said I'm sorry. I definitely let all the other patrons know as I was walking out of the restaurant just to start getting sick. NEVER VISIT THE ESTABLISHMENT! I also work in Elgin and now that I've shared that experience at work other people are sharing me their bad experiences. How is this place even open? read more

Morelia's has really stepped up their game from the last time I reviewed. Customer service has been better, food has been more consistently fresh, the restaurant is clean, etc. The prices have gone up but I've overall enjoyed my last few visits here. Good job on the improvements Morelia's! read more

Good food and good variety. Like their hot sauce. I usually order takeout and it's a reasonable time when it is ready to be picked up. read more

The food has been moving in the right direction. We live locally and have eaten here a few times in the last year... the food has gone from a 2 to a 4 in the last few months. Keep the positive momentum up! read more

Read the last good review on here so decided to give this place a try. After dining here, I'm convinced the good reviews are to help out the servers. I felt second hand embarrassment for the server who has to bring us the food. The food was not warm, as if it was kept near a fan or AC. The beef tacos were flavorless. This place always seems empty, never seen manager on the floor, the server is the host & bartender as well. Morelia went down hill, all the location seems to be the same, the food is over priced for the lack of flavor, my food was cold, tasted old. Beef in the taco had a fishy aroma, meaning they're serving old food. There doesn't seem to be enough foot traffic here for them to kept up on fresh inventory. Meaning they're probably trying to sell whatever old food they got here to save money. If you ever had good Mexican or Tex-Mex food this restaurant isn't for you. If you enjoy old cold flavorless food this is right up your alley. For the price I paid, they could have sprinkle a bit more ground cumin or chipotle powder onto the food. Save your money, don't come here. Unfortunately it's trash. read more

This place was a letdown the moment we walked in, for a building so beautiful it's really disappointing that the atmosphere and food were so unappetizing. No manager to be seen, there was no music whatsoever, staff seemed disoriented and very slow moving, the sodas were flat, and we didn't even make it past the appetizer before going elsewhere. It was dreary all around and suggest avoiding this place if you want quality food and an enjoyable experience. read more

Shoutout to the waitress for calling us "basic" for not ordering alcohol. Food was pretty good. Sopapillas were like fried shoe leather. Cheers! read more

I was a little hesitant to give this place 4 stars. I was leaning towards 3 because I don't think it's all that good for the price. Before this place relocated I feel like it was better. Something about the old location made the food taste better. Now the only reason I come here is because they have seating for a big group and the wait time is normally short. If I had to choose a Mexican restaurant in Elgin it would be Azteca on Main Street or Jalisco's next to McDonald's, but this place is good enough just not my favorite. read more

Wasn't impressed. Left after receiving canned cheese dip for chips. The atmosphere was dark, no music, and based on the over watered down green salsa and canned cheese dip I decided to take my family elsewhere. read more

They seated us quickly which is always Good . So about the Sala it was actually good and spicy well spicy for me . Lot's of Mexican restaurants have tomato sauce with 2 little chilies in it. Well now about the food looked great taste not so great, but the waitress was Excellent! read more

My first time at Morelia, big menu, very cool decor. Food was yummy, especially the Chicken Conquistador, chicken breasts topped with shrimp, mushrooms, cream sauce over rice w/guacamole, pico, beans. Very good. Service was a little slow, and I gave a 3 instead of 4 because my Dads food came out completely cold. But the food itself was all good! read more

The food is just ok. Customer service needs to be addressed because it's very bad. Staff members don't check to see if you've been helped. They will just allow you to wait for a long time. This conduct is highly inconsiderate and now this location has lost a customer in me. read more

Came in with a party of 12. Service was nice , and they weren't hovering over us. Had the chicken / beef fajitas ( a la parilla) , queso flameado and enchiladas cremosas. The queso was awesome, and the accompanying tortillas were soft and tasty. Nothing was exceptional about the fajitas , they were tasty , but i realllllly enjoyed the grilled mushrooms included in the entree. Rice a little dry by good flavor. The charro beans weren't that great, but not terrible. Pretty good prices :) read more

We stopped in on our way back to Austin, I thought perhaps a small town Mexican restaurant might offer a nice change-of-pace. My companion and I enjoyed our chalupa and enchilada plates - the food was flavorful (not always the case elsewhere) and the prices were reasonable. I've seen fancier presentations and bigger portions in other places however it was a fine tradeoff to have some standard fare with better-than-usual taste. My cheese enchiladas (2) came with the usual rice and refried beans on the side and they all were quite tasty. My companion enjoyed her chalupas (2) as well though I must admit they weren't the fanciest looking tostadas I've ever seen. I would have preferred to have gotten 3 enchiladas for my dinner but the menu didn't offer that option and at 8.99 it was in line with other non-chain Tex-Mex restaurants in the area. Good food, decent service, all-in-all an enjoyable meal for a decent price...worth your time if you keep your expectations reasonable. Vaya von pescados! read more

Have come in here two times in the past month. Waiters and waitresses walk past while I'm waiting to be seated. A good amount of time goes by and I haven't been helped or spoke to, so I just walk out. read more

We don't come to this location often, but we try and stop by when driving through town. My husband and I love the fajitas Romanas. We ordered them this last visit and they were delicious as usual! We can't speak about the rest of their menu since we're "that couple" that keeps ordering our favorite thing. Service was fine. read more

Great breakfast! Love the pancakes. The lunch and dinner are good as well. Many locals eat here constantly. Sometimes hard to get Into because it is a favorite place for all to eat. read more

Expensive for average quality food. Very slow service. It used to be a small place that was a great little hole in the wall with amazing food, but when they built a huge new place, the service and food quality declined sharply. read more

First stop for Mexican in Elgin with family of four after moving from Fort Lauderdale, FL. Service was a bit slow, but friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious! If this is sub-par Mexican as other reviewers have said, then I'm looking forward to TX-Mex in central TX. And PS, no need to EVER visit FL if good Mexican is important because we have nothingthat even approaches Morelia. Salsa had a smoky pepper flavor, kids and Mom rocked out the Queso...I thoroughly enjoyed the Carnitas Mexicanas, one of the best and most authentic dishes I've ever tasted, incredible! Washed all down with a well made Margarita...heady and full, headed home for a nice nap. read more

New to town decided to try this place out and may I say I am super disappointed. From the service to the food and paying our bill. It was a party of 3, 2 adults 1 toddler no alcohol drinks. The server didn't bother to give us an itemized receipt and charged us $59.49, after running my card I asked for an itemized receipt and then all of a sudden she apologized and said she charged us extra for a plate we didn't order. Really glad I asked our total was $40. Please be vigilant. read more

I don't understand how this concept keeps growing I guess they're funded by the Mexican Mafia I don't know?? I've been to three locations and the food is the same at each location absolutely terrible and disgusting and full of lard They spend a lot of money with decor and stupid statues, but serve the most disgusting Mexican food I've ever had. I can't elaborate on anything because everything they served was terrible Like every restaurant in Elgin it sucks please don't waste your money here go to Austin or bastrop and dine elsewhere read more

One of 3 best Mexican food restaurants in the town. Beef Fajita, Fajita Enchiladas, Chalupas, Chicken Fajitas.

Love it, great service, great food! We originally intended to dine at Joseph's steak house. After being ignored for 20+ minutes we decided to try Morelia's. As we walked in, we were immediately greeted, seated, and served. Thanks for the good time! read more

I don't what these people who are complaining about or the type of service they were expecting, but this has been one of the few Mexican restaurants I've ever eaten at where the FOOD and SERVICE has been really good. Between great prices, great food, and great service, you'll not find a better combination of the 3!!! Even the bussers know what I'm drinking when I come here!!! read more
