    The food was definitely great, lots of flavor. And they prepared them very well... most of the staff seemed really great as they were very friendly to everyone. Our waiter on the other hand was very hard to work with, ignored us most of the time. When we would order it felt like he wasn't listening and got our orders wrong. Even towards the end of the night we asked if they serve fried ice cream and he said yes walked away and brought two out. We were only wanting to share one. We will come again but look for someone else to wait us.

    I often dance with Mexican food and Pachangas has the rhythm down pat! We walzed right in and were seated immediately at a table we requested. Often when we specify a particular table... for comfort, street view, or request to be further from the restroom door, the hostess will struggle to accommodate but not here because the hostess was the owner. This place has that "hole in the wall" feeling and none of the corporate cookie cutter blandness. Their vibe is nice and the staff are great. The waiter was extremely competent and pleasant. It's located downtown in walking distance of the hotel, the river front and the famous Idaho Falls. Their salsa is made from roasted peppers and it's just ideal. Not too hot and the perfect consistency. I got the Burrito and the wife got Fundido. The portions are great, the sides of beans and rice were delicious, but the star of the show was their Honey Mustard Salsa! It's the most unique tasting side dish I can ever remember. It went with their chips perfectly and I even dipped my burrito in it. I recommend you Tango with Pachangas when you're in Idaho Falls.

    My mother-in-law raves about this place. I have visited twice now and both times the outcome has been the same. Service is lackluster, it's a noisy environment, and the food is subpar when compared to the multitude of other Mexican eateries in IF. From their tortilla chips to their rice and beans to their meat there is one common theme: blandness. The food is not inedible but while you're eating it there is no fiesta en la boca which is common when using traditional Mexican flavors. Those flavors must have not been invited to the fiesta at this establishment. Lastly, their taco game is weak. They don't serve carnitas, al pastor, chorizo, pibil, tinga, nor any other traditional meat preparation except carne asada. Won't be returning.

    Their pollo fundido is so good! It's my favorite thing on the menu. I usually won't eat fish tacos, but they make delicious fish tacos here.

    We've eaten here for years now. It's our fave for Mexican food in I.F.!…read more Morenita's is a small & simple place -- but don't let that deter you. They ROCK IT for authentic Mexican food! And they have the Mexican ladies in the kitchen to prove it IS the real deal. (Be sure to tell them "¡Gracias!" when you pick up your food at the high-counter pickup window. Even tho' you can't see them, they can usually hear you! Makes their day. Better still, drop 'em a tip when you pay - they really appreciate it.) Morenita's TACOS are the best in town! They have the house-cooked meat of your choice. Be ready to state your meat pref. at the register. They will ask for your choice. (See my attached MENU PICS for Meat Options.) Most TACOS are made with a larger-sized, white corn tortilla - that oddly but wonderfully tastes like a mix of corn and flour! SO good! (Their "STREET TACO is smaller.) TYPES OF TACOS: Not sure what kind of taco to get? * CHUCHE: Opt for the CHUCHE TACO if you don't need a lot of fanfare (extra toppings), and you like a crisp cabbage crunch in every bite, + some melted cheesy goodness. * RANCHERO: If you DO like all the fixin's - including (a few/not too much) WHOLE beans, pico, onion, tomato, cilantro, avocado, sour cream + a little kick of jalapeño - the TACO RANCHERO is my first-choice fave! * SUPREME: If you like all that same stuff (w/ your choice of meat) - but prefer REFRIED beans and NO jalapeños - go for the TACO SUPREME. OTHER ITEMS: PIZOPE: If you're really hungry, the PIZOPE has similar toppings as a taco, but is a LOT more food! (And cheese.) The PIZOPE is super filling, and great for 2 to share if you don't have big appetites. NACHOS: The SUPER NACHOS are a big win for a family or group 'cuz they're so easily shared - and are just a HUGE pile of delish! (While I HAVE seen a hungry teenage boy or two eat them ALL before, it's rare for most people to finish a plate alone!) About their MEAT CHOICES: * You can never go wrong with their tender BARBACOA (shredded BEEF). There is a 50c or $1 upcharge for that on most dishes. * CARNITAS (shredded PORK) is a popular, delish meat choice, with no upcharge. * I personally find the grilled steak, CARNE ASADA, to be rather dry and gristly for my own pref. But others seem to like it. No upcharge. * If you're feeling adventurous, you must try the BEEF CHEEK as a meat choice! It is super tender & full of flavor! Upcharge applies (50c for tacos, $1 for burritos, as examples.) * FISH (Tilapia) currently (Jan. 2026) has a high cost for substituting as a meat choice. But there is no upcharge for a FISH TACO, as far as I know. HOW THE PLACE ROLLS: * At Morenita's you pay upon ordering, so no tip is required. (But I personally think the sweet older ladies who bus the tables as fast as they can keep up - and work SO hard to keep the restaurant clean, even when the line goes out the door at times - are very deserving of even a minimal or modest tip.) * After you order you will seat yourself at a booth or a table. Be aware that it's a very small place, so seating is "cozy" - so if it's a busy time, you will sit quite close to others. (At the busiest times you may need to take your meal To Go.) * You will listen for your ticket #, found in a black box near top of the receipt. That # will be called out in English and Spanish from the cash register area. TIP: Ask your phone how to say that number in Spanish. (As a Spanish teacher/translator, I hear it better in Spanish than I do in English now, haha!) * When done eating, you clear your own table. Use the trash cans at the back, or at the front by the main door. (Don't throw away their plates or silverware!) If you do not bus it, then please, kindly leave a cash tip for the ladies who bus it for you. * SAUCES IN THE MINI-FRIDGE! Stop at the fridge in the back to grab a couple bottles of SAUCE! Just be sure to put them back when you're done with 'em! And if it's really busy, sauce up at your table and run them back, asap. Our faves: * CHIPOTLE SAUCE (light orange) = mild & creamy * GREEN SAUCE w/ SEEDS = medium PARTING WORDS OF WISDOM: Common courtesy prevails at a cozy, often busy little place like Morenita's! From the parking lot to table clean-up, we can make the dining experience of others better by being helpful, patient, kind, and friendly. We can make someone's day better. This is America, and it's Idaho! May we each be the good example of civility and kindness we ought to be. Let's treat others who may be strangers to us, like friends and family. 'Strangers' are friends we just don't know yet. And we can also show appreciation for the hard workers in our great town who provide a clean place to eat, and a warm, delicious meal when we want it. A little kindness ALWAYS goes a long way.

    I love the diner ambience...comfortable and relaxed. The woman taking my order was very friendly…read moreand helpful. She likes Chili Relleno and affirmed my choice. It didn't take long for my food to come out and they called my number so I went to the pickup place for my food. It was very good. Tasty, not covered with cheese, and plenty of rice and beans to compliment the Chili Relleno with fresh tortillas on the side. The only reason for taking off a star was I expected it to be spicier... but maybe that is me and not the food. I like highly seasoned food. I hope to return and bring my partner for a taste of another dish they make!

    It was very authentic food especially when considering that the menu is only in Spanish and just…read moreone person working there spoke English. The food was a bit hit or miss. The Quessabirria looked amazing but only tasted of grease which dripped freely all over everything. The carne asada burrito was ok. The meat didn't really stand out and it only tasted of beans, lettuce and sour cream. The two things that were good were the two pork taco options. The pork carnitas had the most amazing texture I've ever been lucky to try. It was moist and crunchy from the flat top. It is definitely worth giving this meat choice a try in anything they have. The true star though was the Adobada tacos. They were amazing. There was tons of meat with so much flavor. These were the best Adobada I've ever had anywhere. I think the highs were very high but the lows were just as low. They have decent salsas but if you can't take a good bit of heat you won't be able to handle even the weakest one. Definitely worth checking out.

    This Mexican place is 100% authentic! The tacos were so simple yet so flavorful. My favorite was…read morethe chorizo which has a nice char to the meat. They also have three salsa to enjoy. The habanero was nice but my favorite was the red salsa that was Smokey and hot. The menu was very simple and it was quick to order. If you do come around lunch time expect to wait a bit as it gets very busy around then.
