    I have been coming to this restaurant in this same location since 1985. Over the years it has grown and been redecorated a few times. One thing that stays the same is the owner Nick & the excellent Mexican food. Everything Ive ever has which is most of the menu is excellent. My personal favorites are the Chile Verde plate, Cheese Enchiladas and the Ceviche must be the best in Southern California! Thank you Nick for over 40 years of great meals!! The location is very close to the Orange Circle. Which is a nice place to walk after filling up on the amazing dishes they serve.

    Had the shrimp ceviche and shrimp tacos today and they were both DELICIOUS! The ceviche is perfect for this hot weather, do yourself a favor and order extra to go

    I have had pleasant visits each time I visit here. Chips, salsa and cervezas to start and tostados, tacos and enchiladas to end. There's always great service, good food at a fair price. If you like shrimp, try the Gobernador....yummy. Parking right in back with indoor and outdoor patio seating. Check them out

    Sad excuse for a Quesadilla!!
    Shawn K.

    I will say the Service was great ,BUT the beef Quesadilla was Terrible !! the beef was nothing but grizzle fat , and super greasy nasty burnt grill tast , very dissatisfied with it , could not even eat it .... and it came with no sides, no sour cream, no guacamole, and some old brown lettuce, AND over 15 dollars !!!! Crazy ! I know times a rough but come on!!!!! this place has been here for years, and you can't make a good Quesadilla for almost 20 bucks !!!

    Talk about hidden gems! This place is IT! I was craving good seafood and my husband found this place. I ordered the mojarra al mojo de ajo and it was exactly what I hoped for. Excellent flavor and crunch in every bit. Comes with beans and rice but I totally could have had the mojarra on its on because it was that good. I also tried their shrimp ceviche and it was so delicious and the perfect botana on a hot day. Spice level on the ceviche was on point! Their margaritas paired well the meals and I highly recommend you try the mango one. This is definitely my new go to for authentic Mexican antojitos. I found out this place has been here for over 40 years!! You gotta try it.

    Enchiladas, rice, bean, salad.

    The food here is amazing, the workers are very nice and friendly too! I enjoy the enchiladas here they are very delicious. If you're looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant this is the place. The place is very clean and has amazing artwork.

    Such a hidden gem! Great food, good portions, affordable and good customer service! Highly recommend for a casual place with great food.

    Street tacos
    Chris P.

    Really good Mexican food tonight at a new restaurant for dinner. I had two chicken street tacos and two chicken enchiladas with guacamole. The guacamole is good but it had to much chopped tomatoes in it which waters it down and takes away from the natural good taste of the avocado. Ice tea is great here and the service is polite but very slow. Chips are warm and light. They do shrimp and ceviche here many ways.

    Molcajete de Mariscos
    Mariah M.

    The food we ordered was really tasty! My husband and I shared the Molcajete de Mariscos & Molcajete Moreliano. Spicy and delicious. Came with a side of rice, beans, and flour tortillas. We came on a Saturday around 8:30pm and it wasn't busy so we were kind of unsure of how it would be but I'm glad we stayed! My only negative comment is that there's no lock on the bathroom door, and I wish they had more/better adult beverage options like Margaritas, etc. We'll definitely be back again!

    Just got home from trying out this place for the 1st time. We always pass by it & it's one of those " We have to try it". It was calm not many people and just chill for a Sunday evening. Service was fast & very good. My husband & I been to a few places for Siete Mares & never had it this good. I had a Shrimp Cocktail with a Modelo Michi. My husband is the type of man who will not take food home. We are here to eat so eat but today he made an exception because the food was so delicious. He knew that he would regret it if he left it. We also got chicken nuggets & fries for our grandson. We will be coming here soon with my in laws.

    Micheladas
    Saelene C.

    I ordered the Chile rellanos with green salsa on the side it was so delicious. And the michelada was perfect, I like when restaurants give you the michie mix and then give you the beer on the side to make sure they don't skimp you on the beer! You only get one complimentary basket of chips. $1.50 for another basket. The green salsa is better than the red!! Spicy and flavorful.

    This is shrimp ceviche cocido en limon and over the years this place is not the same look at the presentation

Their goal was to bring the bold flavors and oversized San Diego-style burritos and tacos to Orange County. These lumberjack portions definitely make you like you're getting bang for your buck. It's crazy to think they would be able to profit in the amount of servings they give, but in reality, it's really quantity over quality. I got their Angel burrito and I remembered it was a humungous! I was just so happy to have lunch and dinner for later. It was jammed packed with protein and their sauces were good too. Make sure to not have any obligations afterwards, because you'll most likely knock out due to food coma. The only sad part about this experience is that I've had eaten here 3x already and I've been stricken with stomach ache twice already, so that's when I know that there's something not fresh about the place. I usually have a strong stomach for greasy or unhealthy food but there's just something here that always messes me up. So eat with caution if you come here! But the value is there but not worth the trouble if you know what I mean.

The carnitas themselves are the star--tender, juicy pork that's been slow-cooked to perfection with that signature crispy edge on some pieces, delivering rich, savory flavor without being overly greasy. It's seasoned just right, with a nice balance of porky goodness and subtle spices that let the meat shine. Wrapped in a large, fresh flour tortilla (they make their own in-house, which always helps), it's stuffed generously with the classics: fluffy Mexican rice, creamy refried or whole beans (depending on your preference, but both work great), chopped onions, cilantro, and a solid dose of salsa. I went with their green salsa for a bright, tangy kick that cuts through the richness perfectly, plus a dollop of sour cream and cheese for that creamy melt. No skimping on portions here--it's hearty and filling, easily a meal that satisfies for hours. At around $10 (give or take, based on current pricing), it's a great value in the area. The burrito holds together well without falling apart mid-bite, and the overall balance of textures--tender meat, soft rice/beans, crisp onions--makes every mouthful enjoyable. If you're in the mood for classic carnitas done right in a casual, bakery-taqueria spot with great salsas and a friendly vibe, this one's definitely worth grabbing. I'd rate it 4.5 out of 5--only docking half a point because it's not reinventing the wheel, but it's executing the traditional style exceptionally well. Highly recommend if you're near 728 N Tustin St in Orange! Pair it with an horchata, yum

We also grabbed a flaky pastry in the attached bakery (I didn't catch the name), but it was perfectly buttery and light. Service is always friendly and efficient, even when they're busy, and the vibe feels very local and welcoming. If you're looking for solid Mexican food with consistency you can count on, this is a must.

We had a large group of about 30 people, which is never easy for any restaurant to handle, but they accommodated us so well. They seated us at one long table so we could all sit together, talk, and share memories. It meant a lot to keep everyone connected instead of being split up. The food was excellent. I ordered the carne asada plate, and the meat was cooked to perfection -- tender, flavorful, and seasoned just right. You can tell they know how to prepare their dishes with care. For dessert, I had the arroz con leche, and it was amazing. It was the perfect balance of sweetness and comfort, especially after an emotional day. The ambiance truly stood out. The hacienda-style patio with trees created such a beautiful and peaceful atmosphere. The Spanish-style architecture inside, along with the fountain, made the whole experience feel warm and inviting. It has that classic, authentic charm that makes you want to stay and enjoy the moment. Most importantly, the staff was incredible. They were extremely patient, attentive, and very organized -- which is impressive considering we were a party of 30. Everything came out smoothly, and they made sure we were taken care of without making us feel rushed. If you're in Orange and looking for a place with great food, beautiful ambiance, and outstanding service, go to Moreno's. It was exactly what our family needed that day -- good food, a peaceful setting, and time together.
