The food came out hot, tasty, and well prepared, and the price felt fair for the quality. The restaurant was spotless, and the staff were on task and friendly, which makes a difference. We tried the wet burrito and a Queso Birria taco. I love a good burrito bañado, and this one was good. It's generously loaded with cheese, which some folks will call awesome. Personally, I prefer a little less cheese and more sauce, and the sauce could have used a little more green zing. Just my taste, though! The taco was hot crispy and tasty. One small gripe: the plastic silverware was too flimsy and made eating a slightly saucy burrito less enjoyable than it should have been. Sturdier forks would go a long way. Overall, a great lunch stop. This strip of Chinden is excellent, too, with Guido's and Boise Thai right next door. I'd happily come back.

Puerto Rican approved ‼…read more This place is genuinely the best Mexican food I have had in a long while. Portions are average sized, but very cheap. We ate lunch here for 15$ total. Guacamole and all meat was fresh. We tried the tacos with carne asada, pork, and birria options. All very tasty. The jalapeño tacos were a standout. The jalapeños were actually not very spicy, despite having the seeds still in them. This was nice because you could actually taste the sweet flavor of the jalepenos. Please don't judge the storefront by its cover. It's a small, simple place, but the food more than makes up for it. The place was under some interior construction, but they were still open and service was great.

One block off the main thoroughfare, this restaurant is located next door to The Dog Spa. It's a small place but don't let that stop you from giving it a try. They used to operate out of a food truck in another part of Homedale and have migrated to having their first permanent location. I believe we were told they moved in here in October of 2022. It is a place that has a meat counter for Mexican delicacies, but there are about 6-7 tables where you can dine in and enjoy some great tasting food. My wife and I both ordered the Pollo Asado plate along with a side of guacamole and some fried jalapeños. I can honestly say that everything was prepared very well and have great flavor. The chicken was seasoned perfectly and the guacamole was obviously made fresh. That, in itself, was a bonus. No mass produced guacamole! The rice and beans were a perfect portion size for the meal, and the three tortillas were soft and warm. We both left satisfied and not over stuffed! There is a small area where they sell tortillas and Mexican spices. This is good to know since we like to make our own Mexican style sauces at home. We love supporting small business whenever we can. Next trip we're gonna have to try the Jalapeño taco. They made them sound very tempting while we were eating our meal!

First time at Lorena's and it certainly will not be the last!…read more Food: 5/5. Delicious! We tried a few tacos, grilled hot dog, esquites, horchata, and churros. Each of the tacos was absolutely amazing! The green sauce is really good and not too spicy. The esquites was a little different than I'm used to and was a little more soupy, but also delicious! Horchata is horchata (one of my favorite drinks). Something I really need to talk about are the churros. I consider myself a churro connoisseur at this point, having had hundreds at sporting events, Disneyland, and other festivities. These churros were some of THE BEST CHURROS I have ever had! Service: 5/5. Lorena was very nice and had our order out relatively quickly for all the food we ordered! Great service! Atmosphere: 4/5. The location is interesting and tucked back away from the road. Can be hard to find. The tented area is a great place to sit and you kind of forget you are in a parking lot along a busy road. A good amount of seating. Kid-friendly: 5/5. Great to go or to eat there with kiddos. My 2 year old loves beans and rice and there are plenty of food options for kids.

Lorenas as was a mixed bag for me for a very specific reason…read more First, I have lived less than a half mile away, saw it was here on the map, but for the life of me, couldn't picture where it was. Address in the GPS, pulling up, it was a "Oh crap, how have I never noticed this?" Easy, its sort of behind Jacks, on the back end of the car dealers overflow lot! You, like I, will wonder if they take cards or if it's cash only, they definitely take cards. The means variety is on par with my favorite little taco shops. I chose the #1 Special with one each chicken, carnita and chorizo street taco with rice and beans. For drinks they have everything I ask for to qualify as authentic Mexican and believe it of not, I passed on the Horchata for once and ordered a Mandrian Jarritilos Mexican orange soda. My first bite of the chicken taco, yep, that's good! Next up was chorizo and a bit of a surprise, maybe a mix of chorizo and potato, or maybe a vegetable I am unfamiliar with. Not wrong, if anything possibly more authentic than I'd encountered. Finally the carnits, good if a little dry, nothing the included salsa didn't help with. Both the red and green sauces were as expected. Now we get into the part I didn't love, the beans, a very small serving with the distinct flavor of powdered milk. I despise powdered milk and when you do, the flavor just sorta leaps out at you. Again, I can see how in huge swaths of Mexico if you didn't own a cow, you might use powdered milk for everything. There was rice but after the beans, I don't really remember it. The eternal question, would I return? My initial reaction was sure, I just wouldn't order a combo that included beans, but then I started thinking about how many thing might have those beans, so probably not. I suspect I'd do nothing but search for the of putting flavor of powdered milk, so why bother? There are too many places nearby to go to a place for tacos and horchata... and I really enjoy good beans! Of course if the taste of powdered or nonfat mike isn't an issue for you, you might love the place.

I always get an Horchata and Tacos de Res (beef). Everything on them includes cilantro and onion. Wait is around 10-15 minutes on average and seating for this specific location is small (2-3 outdoor tables) and is in-front of a Smoking/Tobacco shop. Theres shade available but not a problem for me as I do takeout. Prices are always reasonable, I'm fluent in Spanish and have only ever ordered in Spanish, I know for sure the staff does have at-least someone with good English working. I've been to so many different locations and this one happens to be both close to my work/home. I've treated myself to here very often and will continue to in the future.

My first time here, I tried the barbacoa, asada, and al pastor. They were... just okay. The barbacoa was incredibly dry, and the other tacos had a very unremarkable flavor on first bite. Salsa was definitely required to give it some kind of oomph. Should have checked because they only gave me one tiny lime wedge for 3 tacos. meh I might give it another try for fish, adobada, and cabeza or lengua. Not everyone makes everything great. I'll let you know what I find out. It covered outside seating is pretty decent, but it is in a parking lot abutted against a busy intersection. So the ambiance can be kind of meh, which is probably why so many people took theirs to go. They have buzzers you keep with you, so you know when your food is ready.
