The staff was super cheerful and friendly. I would give 5 stars but the bathroom was not clean at all. And not just from people using it that day. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time by the buildup of gross. :(

They were kinda busy when we got there, and we were hungry, so we didn't take pics, sorry to say…read more It's a food bus, with the seats converted into long counters and benches along the windows, with the order station and kitchen up near the front. So, of course the atmosphere was tight, uncomfortable, and hurried. It's single file all the way up--turning sideways to let people pass after they order. Most of the customers seemed at ease in this situation, engaging in a familiar camaraderie with each other and the order taker. It was easy to see the bus' following is large and loyal. When it was finally our turn at the ordering window, the first thing I noticed was that the drink selection on the small menu board was very limited. I tried to ask a couple of questions; the order taker was impatient, but not overly rude, and treated me like I should already know the answers--so I just took my chances. Since most of these types of places serve a breakfast burrito that is way potato heavy, I ordered one without the spuds and extra egg. The guy asked me "how many" extra eggs. Honestly, I never answered that question, whoops. I also ordered the Steak Ranchero and some Churros. We then waited for our orders at the nearest seat on the thin and hard metal bench, and I can say that the dine-in situation is not comfortable at all, but we were hungry enough to endure. When we got the food, I was relieved to see that there was adequate egg in my burrito--but disappointed by the unremarkable sausage, and the heavily diluted eggs. The Steak Ranchero was tough, but the meat tasted okay. The sauce that smothered it seemed to be watered down tomato paste. The only redeeming part of the dish was the warm and tasty tortillas. I expected some above average churros; remembering the delicious authentic vendor churros I've had in Baja California, Just south of the customs border. I think the ones from Jack In The Box are better than the ones I got from this bus. So, the food was boardering on bad. The service was only semi-rude, but that's kind of understandable given the situation, and the atmosphere was bad. We won't be back, 2*.

Having said that, I feel the need to warn people not to eat here. I should have known when I went in and saw 3 or four teenagers behind the counter. I also should have known when I looked at the menu and saw "corn dog" under rice and beans. This place is like someone had an idea to open a Mexican food restaurant having never eaten at a Mexican food restaurant. It was just...not good. Not even a little bit good. It was like the opposite of good. I don't blame the kids working there. They were just doing as they were taught I'm sure. The only thing I actually thought was okay was the chips. Probably from a bag. They put this weird tomato sauce on the burrito and the beans. I think it was supposed to be enchilada sauce.? It was this super bland tomato sauce, like from a can. I ate about 1/3 of the food and couldn't stomach any more of it. I must be spoiled or something living in a place that has good Mexican food at just about any place in town. Not so in Idaho Falls! I guess this is where Mexican food goes to die. I would rather have gone to Taco Bell. At least I know what I'm getting into there. My one star stands for "YUCK"! Don't eat here if you want Mexican food. Did I mention "Yuck"?

You know, those ethnic cuisines whose dreamers go through all that to finally achieve a vision--only to be closed down in less than a couple of years--see it all the time. Yeah well, that ain't Morenita's. I'm sure they put in the hard work, but they've had that hole-in-the-wall vibe location for going on 36 years now. Going strong today cuz they're doin one thing right--everything! They did the time as that hidden gem, serving authentic Michoacán recipes. Keeping food comin out fast and affordable, they consistently served excellence to in-the-know locals. Those locals--their loyals, made Morenita's what it is today--the oldest Mexican eatery in town--the survivor--an Idaho Falls institution. Now, Morenita's is still doin it, with many days of lunchtime being like walking in moments after stocks open on Wall Street. But, for real, the experience is a fiesta. When you're ready to order there is no communication gap. She helped us out with high energy--talkative, helpful, and seemed genuinely happy to be there--nice change. The menu, while presented as authentic, is easily catered to Americanized taste buds. They have a variety of drinks, and wide selection of beers (pretty sure all bottled). So to start, I ordered myself a Modelo Especial. Also, the Breakfast Burrito without potatoes, smothered in cheese and green sauce. That's one thing I don't like about Mexican food breakfast burritos--too much potato, but they fixed it up for me. For a final touch, I ordered a Chile Relleno a la carte. I wanted to add a coffee, which was on the menu, but when I asked for it I was informed all they had was instant. I'm not sure if this is all the time, but that's just...no thanx lol. With a buzzer in hand to alert you to come pick up your food, you go find a table. They are pretty busy, and keep the price down by not running it out to your table. The dining room is not very big, with multiple bench tables big enough to seat like five each. The atmo: Well, not horrible, but a little tooo shared, and cafeteria-like. It was ok, not loud, I could hear who was with me (she gave 5 stars). It's kinda bright and open, but at the same time--chill. The other dine-in customers were totally at ease--completely used to it. Anyway, our buzzer went off, and grabbing the food was quick and easy. The moment of truth: I started with my Breakfast Burrito. They had added extra egg and cheese to replace the potato, filling up the massive fresh tortilla, without extra charge. The first bite took me back to Wall Street, like selling stocks at the right time--total payout! OMGosh it was sooo tasty. The Relleno is maybe the tops in Idaho Falls. Honestly, it's hard to go wrong with a smothered green chile & cheese, but some manage to. Despite my initial apprehension about the atmosphere, I was totally comfortable scarfing down my meal. My usual beer even tasted better there. The food is great, better than many full-scale places. The service is fun and upbeat, and the prices are very competitive. I'm going to do my part to help Morenita's stay around for another 36 years. My highest fast-casual Mexican food rating. Super-Scale 8* Most fast-casual places don't have coffee anyway!

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.

The quesadilla that I had was very crisp and had so much flavor, even for myself who hates cilantro enjoyed combination of flavors within.

The people running the food truck are the most respectful as well care very much about their customers.

They're plainly dull when speaking and attending their customers too. At the end - eat at your own risk. I'd say this is the authentic Mexican version of Taco Bell when it comes to eating cheap and feeling sick to your stomach after
