    7. Two Sopes Combo
    Day V.

    You know when you eat a bad street taco, and it ruins your mood? Thats exactly what I felt. The tacos were so bland, the lines were bitter (even though I squeezed 7-8 of them) they were like rotten . Unflavored, and dry meat. The arroz was overcooked and unseasoned. The tosada de ceviche had a nice kick to it and was good to share with 2 people. The sopes were so unflavored and unappetizing after the first bite. The hot dogs were a HUGE fan fave however this time, it was a HUGE let down. No more wrapped bacon, it's now bacon crumbles on top with the frijoles. The drinks were sugary and nothing but ice. I truly feel morenos has gone down hill. Definitely a skip. Sorry not sorry. Service was mediocre, the cashier was attentive and kind. But was handling food at the same time she was cleaning stuff from the floor and bagging to go orders.

    It was late at night and I had a Sonoran hot dog craving... Moreno's to the rescue! You can place your order online, through their QR code! Because we couldn't find the Sonoran dogs online, we placed our order telephonically. Although you can place the order, they will not start it until you pay (either through the phone or in person). We ordered 2 Sonoran dogs, a carne vampiro, a beef taco, and chips and guac. Bf paid so I'm not sure what the total was but the prices online appear on par with other fast-food Mexican restaurants (Filiberto's, Moreno's, Los Favs). The Sonoran dogs definitely hit the spot! 1 would have been enough but I thought I was hungry lol. The grilled peppers it was served with were grilled well and had a sweet but spicy taste. The carne asada on the vampiro was a smidge tough but overall it was pretty good; better than Filiberto's/Moreno's. I definitely foresee more late night visits!

    Saturday date night brought us here, to Moreno's Mexican Grill. We have driven by several times and the parking lot was always full. We decided to see what all the fuss was about. I read reviews prior to heading out, and I am glad that I decided to check it out anyway. I always like to give a new spot for us a chance. We were seated almost immediately, in the bar area, as the tables in the dining room were all occupied. Chips and salsa were brought to our table right away, it was nice to see the bean dip as well. Both the red and green salsa were very tasty! Our server, Paola, was absolutely fantastic!!! She was very attentive, even as the bar area filled up quickly. She made sure to stop by and check on us regularly. I ordered a Strawberry Margarita and received an extra glass full after they mixed it. That was above and beyond, as no place we have gone to lately has done that. On a hot summer night, it was awesome to have extra to sip on. Both my husband and I had the same meal, a Cheese Enchilada, Shredded Beef Taco, Rice, and Beans. The meal was divine! Everything tasted so good! It was a struggle to finish everything on the plate, as they were both very full. We brought home some leftovers that were devoured later in the week. The cheese enchiladas had white cheese in the middle, which was a refreshing change from the typical yellow cheese that other restaurants use. We were extremely happy with our entire experience and will definitely be back for more!

    I placed my order on the App. It was shredded chicken enchiladas (2). Beans and Rice on the side. I wasn't pleased they didn't give me the shredded chicken that I paid for. And the meal tasted bland and unauthentic. Won't order there in the future

    On a weekend trip to Arizona, and wanted to grab some local Mexican food. Moreno's is great. The place is super clean and the customer service is excellent. I got the floutas and my girlfriend got the sopes. Both were very good, and the flavor was top notch. The salsa bar had a lot of variety, and overall the experience was good. Great place!

    One of my favorite things to grab when I cross the border is a really good Sonoran Dog. It's nice to be able to drive a few minutes and grab one when I get my cravings. Moreno's started off as a hot dog cart and now have a few locations across the Valley. This location is their original spot and has a nice patio area where they sometimes grill their dogs outside on. Even though they are known for their Sonoran Dogs, Moreno's has a pretty large menu of Mexican cuisine classics, desserts and beverages. They even serve breakfast. Moreno's is customer friendly and always makes for a nice stop.

    Shrimp Cocktail

    Absolutely love the food here. The service is great and you've got to try the bean dip!!! The shrimp cocktail is my favorite.

    I used to live in Mesa and this was always our late night go to spot. They have a wide variety of options but I've never been disappointed with their menudo which was a regular order for me. On some nights it can get a little packed with limited parking. The food is delicious and they also have a Sonora hot dog stand in their patio. You do have to order it at the counter first. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Also, they have aguas frescas and their horchata is a must! I recently called in a pick up order since I was on that part of town late at night and they did let me know that I had to pay over the phone in order for them to be able to actually start my order so just a heads up. Overall, place is good and highly recommend.

Authentic Mexican food sounded perfect and I knew good things were in store when I arrived at 11:30am on a Friday and all of inside and outside tables were full. The inside is quaint but has quite a few tables. They also have tables out front in the shade (to call it patio seating may be a stretch, just simple tables and chairs on the exterior of the entrance). You order your food at the counter and I didn't study the menu ahead of time but the ladies taking my order were patient with me. I ordered a shredded beef taco and a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. Nothing fancy for my first time as it's hard to golf on a full stomach! I found the only open table and then hit up the salsa bar. They have 4 or 5 different salsas/hot sauces and a few other goodies. I got a small cup of each sauce and all of them were quite good. My food was colorful, flavorful and just the right away to give me some energy without being lethargic. I could go on about a few other nice things but it seems most of East Mesa already knows about this place given the high scores on Yelp from a lot of reviewers. Nothing to prevent me from giving a 5* review at this time. I look forward to trying some more dishes in the future.

I'm posting this review for two reasons - The first being because the manager passed the restaurant phone over to the supposed "owner" after I called within five minutes of getting home to tell them the chips and taco shells tasted like they were fried in old, rancid oil. The manager told me she could offer a credit and when I said I would prefer the refund to my card is when she went to get the "owner". I'm fairly sure I wasn't an asshole to her. I was pretty peeved at this point because we're talking about almost $16 of the $49.11 which was the cost of the food I ordered before tax and tip. I work in the service industry/for tips too so I get it. I'm well aware of the price increase of everything everywhere!!! Before going to Ritos I waited in a line of 10 cars at Sam's Club for gas and gas was $49.65. So there's that. The "owner" also reiterated that a refund would only be given if I brought the food back. I'm sorry, but, I live 15 minutes away from Mesa Riverview. My employer was 30 minutes from the restaurant. I sure as f*ck wasn't going to get my ass back in my car and drive back to Ritos to give them shitty tacos and chips. They told me they would offer a credit for next time for chips and 2 tacos - and I guess that's acceptable but my question is - how are you going to provide that when you don't have my number or an email address for me? And aren't chips typically complimentary at a Mexican food restaurant when you dine in? The manager had the audacity to say that the oil was changed, the chips and tacos are cooked in different vats, the cost of meat has gone up and "everyone is feeling it." That's quite the level of audacity. I'm to the point where I don't give a about your credit and if I want Ritos I'll drive even more out of my way to the Garfield or 7th Street location. I'm more pissed off about the "owner's" attitude than I am about the $2.55 chips I threw in the trash. And the taco shells didn't taste too rancid drowning the inside in salsa. My mother was in her bedroom in the back of the house (I was in the kitchen) and just told me she could hear the owner yelling at me and what a sh*tty way to do business. Keep your credit, I won't be back to your locatiom to dine in OR take food to go. PS - Change your raunchy ass oil. As you said, consumers pay *way too much* to get home with a To Go order to have to throw it away because oil isn't changed frequently enough.
