Fantastic food. You can't get better bean dip anywhere else. The salsas are perfect, the chips are always fresh, hot, and light. The guac is expertly seasoned. I eat my entire plate- beans, rice, lettuce, sour cream. Every single ingredient tastes quality and I don't want to skip any of it. The fajitas are a generous portion, a succulent steak, and very nice presentation. The tortillas are soft, warm, and they give enough! I loved my visit here and will definitely be back. It's clean, fast service, great decor. read more

Moreno's Mexican Grill - Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This trip back was honestly worse than the last. It was a nice night and we had brought our chihuahua in her stroller so we sat on the enclosed patio area that had next to know lightning accept for the neon beer signs that were on so trying to read your menu was difficult we had to use the flashlight on your cellphone. 2. After sitting for 20 minutes waiting for our server to come out and take our dinner order my boyfriend decided he better go in and find out what's going on. At that point she comes out takes our order and had the Expo bring the food to our table and it did. However we had to wait for my boyfriends steak and chicken to come out so he could eat his fajitas and that to took additional time by that time his beans and rice are cold. The meat itself was tender but seriously lacked flavor. I ordered the shredded beef #2 combo now I got all of my food at once where my meal fell short was the lack of flavor and when the waitresses asked if I wanted everything in it I expected more than just flavorless meat inside a tortilla. The experience all the way around was not good from the serious lack of service to the food my opinion is what it is and won't be back. read more

Moreno's Mexican Grill - The #2 combo taco and a burrito - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

We came here midafternoon with family from nuc craving sit down restaurant with great Mexican food. Morenos hit the spot. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. Lots of booth seating or tables. Our server was knowledgeable and prompt. At our request, she navigated us around the pork and lard forward foods, to enjoy fabulous chile rellenos and cheese enchiladas . The rice and pinto beans without lard were soo good as was the relleno and enchilada. There are many Morenos around town and I love the food. Spicy but not mouth chilling heat. The sauces had the chili flavor but not mouth numbing.. I will be back! read more

Morenos is close to my home so we tried it out. Service was slow as they only had one waitress and one cook I think. Foot was great. Nothing was outstanding but it was good. Atmosphere was nice and clean. And I would go back for shrimp tacos again. Prices were reasonable. read more

Great food very helpful staff clean and the meals are tasty. Check it out great bar for sure

the food is good. the service sucks! i have been there twice in the last month. the first time we had to wait a very long time for someone to come and take our order. in addition, in regards to the chips and dipping sauce, i asked for additional dipping sauce and i was surprised to get charged an extra dollar especially since i had to ask for it twice. read more

We were at Moreno's on Wed, 01/28 for dinner and had a wonderful experience as usual. Rosa was our waitress and she was the best! We ordered the El Jefe burrito and the Moreno burrito, both with beans and rice. The food was so very good! The restaurant was busy, but our service very good! Moreno's is such a great restaurant!!! read more

Moreno's is our favorite Mexican spot on this side of town! It's our go-to place! We always have fast, great service and the employees are SO nice!! It's not the fanciest of places, but it gets the job done and we eat here once a month. Our favorites on the menu are their bean dip, green salsa, chicken taco salad, and crispy beef tacos. We love Moreno's and we highly recommend! read more

I would not recommend this place to anyone. The food & customer service are very unacceptable!

UPDATED REVIEW..... I have always loved the food here lots of great plates tampiquenia, spinach enchiladas, arroz con pollo, and many more are excellent. The chips and bean dip are amazing. Service has always been spotty at best until recently. It was slow and nonexistent at times. I put up with it for the food. They turned over the staff a while back and the last 4 or 5 trimes the service has been top notch. Zero issues. 5 stars. read more

The food was Awesome ! Five star excellent. The server did not return even one time. Mexican food and salsa Awesome. No drinks...No server insight, had to flag down a different server I want to leave one star, but would not be fair. The food truly was great. A BAD Server can ruin a place's reputation. Place was only 40% of capacity. Charged us a handling fee. Cash not a to go order I believe the server gal or lack of as it was... added this since she was confident she was not getting a tip. basically theft. Last but not least I hated touching the gross menu that I could barely read, as It was so old. Food should have been discounted being we had to fight for drinks. Upset by the time we got them. read more

We were in the area so we went ahead and pulled into one of our favorite Mexican food restaurants. The service is always great! Manager comes by and makes sure you are happy! I had the chicken enchiladas with green sauce and as always it was delicious. Across from me I listened to the sizzling fajitas and thought I might regret my choice but a couple of bites from that plate and my Mexican food experience was all I could've asked for! The dining area is clean and so are the restrooms. Beer was nice and cold too! read more

I like Morenos. Food is good. When you order to pick up, I recommend you ignore their text messages instructing you to wait for notification befoire you pick up your food. Most times that message never comes. I otherwise have no complaints.I've been there at least 20 times. read more

We had them cater an event for 100 people. Red beef and green chicken enchiladas, mini-chimichangas, flautas, mini tacos, green chili, tortillas. Also included chips, two salsas, tea, lemonade and horchata. Everything was flavorful, but the green chili was the star. Full disclosure the green chili is a bit spicy and I loved it. I will be going to Moreno's specifically for the green chili. Paper plates, napkins and plastic were also included. We were also very happy that they served the food buffet style. Very professional service. Highly recommended. A few days before we enjoyed the menudo at the restaurant. The tripe was tender, flavorful soup and generous portion. read more

We will not go back. They charged us for enchilada sauce on each enchilada & then they added a handling fee. Who does that & what's the handling fee? No good restaurant does that. Not only did they overcharge, they've raised their prices way too high. Bad business practices. read more

Food was spectacular, El Jefe burrito was perfect! Tejano burrito was extremely flavorful. Service was excellent. Ambiance was warm and inviting. I was surprised that they had Dos Equi on draft. Blue Moon was available. My sister and I will be returning very soon to try other entrees offered. I very pleasant experience. We were treated very well. read more

The food was great. I will travel far and wide for a great crunchy taco. This place delivered on the food. They are short staffed and still are taking care of us guests very well along with a kitchen staff that put together a really great tasting hot meal. I had two hard shell tacos ( shredded beef) with rice and beans. Its simple but exactly i was craving on a Taco Tuesday. I will be back for the chicken next time. Was comfortably warm inside on a cold 50 degree night. read more

We were super disappointed with the quality of the food. We were hoping for flavorful Mexican food. The salsas were watered down and they had no flavor. We ordered the chimichangas and the meat was very dry and tasted sour. We asked if they could swap them out for something different and we were told "the manager tried them and they tasted fine, so we will not change anything". We were not asking for anything free we were asking for meat that did not taste sour. The chimichangas only had meat inside which was dry and sour. It did not have any salsa or cheese inside. The food was very bland, each item we tried had zero flavor which is really weird. The beans had a very odd taste, they were sour and watery. The sodas were the only thing that had flavor at this restaurant and the coffee. The restaurant itself is really cute, and the servers were nice but the food is not worth the time; money, or really anything at all unfortunately. read more

Love this place. Everyone is friendly. Good is delish. Margaritas are yummy. I'd like to eat here at least once a week if I could.

Visit/ lunch, 9 minutes to be seated. 11 minutes before order was placed. 3 alcart burritos , 1 bowl of soup, 3 diet sodas and one water. Burritos were tasteless, very little meat. Soup was hot of good quality. No waiter offered to refill drinks or chips. With 15% tip, check was $ 92. Use to eat there frequently. Never again!. Value for product= poor. read more

Moreno's had been one of my go to spots for a long time. I don't think I'll be back. Went in by myself. Not busy but had to wait to be seated when it was only 10-15% occupied. Was waited on by 3 people but not waited on. The only waiting was on my end. Food has gone downhill. Got my entree and asked for Tapatio. Waited 5 minutes for that and never came...food now cool. Got up to find some myself and waiter said he'd grab some...arrived another few minutes later...after I watched him stop and talk with a table and chat with coworkers for a bit. One of the tacos was not good at all. Flavor of the chicken was off (tasted like fish...not a good sign). One of the three wait staff dropped the $28 bill on the table and never came back to take payment. Very disappointing and overpriced experience. Before I submit this and get an AI or generic response, a note to the owners. You can do better. You had done better for years and I hope service/quality improves again. Until then, I'll cook better on my own. read more

Tamales were empty. Just masa. Service was fine, but I was disappointed in the food. It has been a year or so since I have been there, but I remember it being great. I don't live near there, but we decided to make the trip. Tacos were good. Pay cash or they will add 3% to your check for using a card. I'll give them another try when I get back to the area. read more

Had dinner with my girlfriend at Morenos on Power and Main in Mesa. Service was horrible!!! Therefore I choose to leave a minimal Tip. My total check was $47.39, I authorized a charge of $50.00 on my Debit Card. When I looked at my Bank statement Morenos charged me $60.00. They are stealing from customers who they think won't notice the difference charge amount. I use to enjoy the restaurant but the food quality and poor service from most of the waitress has turned me off. The Changing of the charge amount is the last straw, I will never eat there again, even though it's near my home. In plain English.... They STOLE FROM ME, THE CUSTOMER!!! PAY ATTENTION TO YOU BILL IF YOU DECIDE TO EAT AT THIS SHADY RESTAURANT!!! read more

This place has been in this location for quite some time and I am surprised that I've never given it a chance. I finally did, and I was very surprised. I ordered the Sonoran hotdog which is very good as well as a shrimp taco and a Al Pastore taco. Both were very good and I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a good Mexican food place. read more

Absolute sad, poor, miserable, and disgusting excuse for an establishment. Not sure if the bad service from the 15 year old or the manager was worse, but my god it was all unbelievable. Forgot our order multiple times, had to send the same plate back 3 times because they couldn't get it right, and then tried charging full price for everything. When asking the manager for the owner's contact number, I was told that they were unable to give it out but if it was good service we were contacting the owner about, they would willingly give the information. Ridiculous, pitiful, and really looking forward to never going back. read more

If you order the basics, enchiladas, tacos, and nachos, you won't be disappointed. The margs are a little sweet for me, but all drinks always come out cold. Service is quick. If you go for an early dinner, there's more of a crowd. Big bar and outdoor area. We frequent often. They serve the standard chips and salsa as well as bean dip. read more

good food, fast service, friendly staff, great ambiance, good prices.................................

Giving two stars because usually they do a good job with our food but today was terrible. Went all the way home just to have to go all the way back. Then to go back home to realize they didn't give us salsa. Super frustrating when you are spending over $60 for food and you can't even enjoy it because it's made incorrectly and not even what you asked for. Would not recommend ordering to go at all. read more

Great atmosphere & service. You get chips and salsa. Yum! We got the chicken fajita burro and their famous hot dog. The hot dog was surprisingly good. The burro was good but the chicken was a bit dry which made it harder to eat. read more

Main and Power location review; Got here at 12:10 and ordered at my leisure ten min later. It is a big menu. Chili Rellano. Chips and TWO salsas. Great, Icy, cold regular iced tea with lots of lemon. She refilled my tea. How can customers say this is like Taco Bell food? Mnnnnn its so NOT! My choices were all done traditionally, old school favorites. And the plate arrived mucho caliente! Do not touch their plates! ((But back to Taco Bell / Dell Taco type food - just enjoy them. It's like music, theres something for everyone!!!)) Tortilla chips are fresh, hot and crunchy with a hint of salt. Red salsa is slightly smoky but not overly so - it's flavorful but mild. Fine. That green sauce is one of those specialty ones that's mildly spicy and sweet. Its an 11 out of 10! The chips are a 9 - which is still great, approaching can't put them down. Btw: This green sauce side for the chips is really unique.... as few places offer it. Try it. Once you try it you might be hooked. I am approaching 59 years old and a native Zonie. Had a woman who cooked mex food for us growing up so I'm picky like many natives are. The rellano was mild and fat with white cheese. Yellow and white cheese on top of it. I usually like a red sauce but took my waitresses' suggestion to try the green sauce. If you like green sauce more than me you might swoon. Or not. Sauces are so individual, it's often what you grew up on. I prefer a gravy like green sauce, (think Stokes canned green chili pork sauce - OMGEE OT makes great chicken enchiladas). But not to discredit Moreno's green sauce here. It's good, and not too spicy hot. Thankfully so, because when you get a hot green chili inside it can overpower things. Flavorful mild rellano. The puffy dipped breading/coating was tender and nicely done. Beans are flavorful and not diluted. Better than most restaurants' frijoles. Rice is tender and fluffy - not dry! Why not full five stars? I'd add the carrots and peas to the rice. But I'll still take Morenos plain mex rice over 95% of other restaurants! I don't know if they'll charge for the chips. Don't care. Service was spot on here. I'd drive a ways to eat here. It's one of my fav places in the Mesa area thus far. Each restaurant has good versus great dishes. I'll come back and try other dishes for sure. read more

The food was absolutely terrible. Manager Carlos terrible as well. Worst I have ever had in my life on this planet. Don't waste your money.

We been coming to this location for over 10 years and it's just getting worse every time. Poor customer service food portions and quality is going the wrong way. We order tacos and they were not the same as usual we compliment and were told that's what we got and you didn't like it you can order something else. We will definitely never come back. We were even charged extra to make our meat crispy and it came out soggy. read more

Slow service, maybe due to Senoir Monday discount, maybe? I was not able to be told what fish was used in fish taco entrees. Server did not know, and had to be asked to find out. Ask for manager, who did ask cooks, but with no response. Finally answer, " I don't know." So we left. What a disappointment. read more

Stopped in to try the Sonoran hotdogs. Took quite a long time to get them, and they were just okay, nothing special.

Best fish and shrimp tacos I've found so far in the area! I got the Baja Fresh Shrimp Taco and the Baja Fresh Fish Taco with horchata as my drink. The food and the horchata were great all around and service was fast and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place! I can't wait to go back and try their breakfast food next time. read more
