    Chicken Cilantro salad
    Morris H.

    It was seven years ago that I stopped into The Mexican Kitchen while visiting the military base across the street. I fell in love with their surf n turf burrito and this salad, and now all of these years later these people are still cooking amazing food. I will need to post the burrito later but this salad is awesome. Back then I was living in San Diego so I didn't make the drive up very often but now that I live in Menifee I can get here much more often. Also be sure to grab a bag of chips and salsa while you wait. The restaurant is clean, the staff is very nice, and you will not be disappointed with your order.

    Enchiladas Suizas Plate

    The enchiladas have square chicken pieces... I've never had any enchiladas with square chicken bits. Wasn't very good. Rice and beans are ok but wouldn't order from here again. Also no flavor and wasn't even spicy. Sorry

    Chicken Cilantro salad

    It was nice inside, line moved quickly we ordered our food and drinks. We had chip and while we waiting on our salad we're delicious

    Special two shrimp taco with mushroom, onion and spinach. Black beans, & Mexican rice.
    Belinda B.

    I have eaten before when I am able to treat myself to authentic Mexican food. I ordered something different than my usual one taco plate. I got the special! I got the two Shrimp taco plate. I ordered at lunch time. Noon. There were about five people ahead of me. But my food came out within or less than 10 minutes. Their menu is simple. Prices are good. It's small seating area, but still a great place to eat for lunch. **There is a 50 cent charge when using debit/credit card of orders less than 10 dollars.

    Carne asada tacos, no cilantro, no onion, no nothing!

    I usually get pupusas here, or the enchiladas. I recently tried their cilantro chicken salad and it is to die for! Excellent service.

It's become our regular stop every Monday and Wednesday after my mom's physical therapy sessions, and it's a part of our routine we truly look forward to. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with genuine kindness. The staff is consistently warm, courteous, and attentive, it never feels rushed, just welcoming. The restaurant itself is always spotless, which says a lot about the pride they take in what they do. In a world where service can often feel transactional, El Loco Burrito stands out for its heart. It's not just about great food, it's about the people, the atmosphere, and the comfort of knowing you're always welcome. Highly recommended.

I also had the horchata and my husband had the jamaica. My horchata was a little sweet for my personal taste, so I added a bit of water, but I'm definitely not docking them for that -- the flavor was still amazing. Before we went in, I called ahead to ask about the lunch specials, and the person who answered the phone was fantastic. His service alone convinced me to try the restaurant, and I'm so glad we did. We are definitely going to keep frequenting this spot. Highly recommend!

    I am not from the area, while looking up places to eat on yelp, I came across Casa Tacos!…read moreAnd I'm so glad I did They have a good variety, I should've taken a picture of their menu, but I was too hungry. They have regular street tacos, they have their customized tacos, they have their signature tacos, they have burritos of different varieties, they also have different bowls to choose from... I ended up going with the Firebird bowl and I was not disappointed. It is a good size portion for the value, I have enough for leftovers. It also filled me up. This is a much better alternative to fast food, so much healthier and it's still quick to go. It does not take that long. The best part is they have a drive-through if you do wanna get it quickly! I'm lying that's not the best part, the best part is that it taste so good. I've been to healthy places like this before and they don't always taste that great this place actually taste so good. Second best part, the vibe in there, the people that worked there they were so nice. Stephanie was really friendly, I knew what I wanted to eat, but she was still kind of enough to offer suggestions. She suggested the churros come with the crem on the bottom, I definitely recommend giving them a go, those things were good. I decided to save some for my children lol Stephanie was just a pleasure to talk with and she was really nice. They do have restrooms to use while dining there. It's located against the street, you can pull into their little parking lot or you can pull all the way into the plaza, which is a huge parking lot so parking is definitely not an issue here. I'm not from this area, but if anyone else else's, I suggest coming here to eat. If I am in the area again, I will be back.

The meal started off strong with their chips and salsa--super fresh and flavorful. For my entrée, I had the chicken fajitas. While they were cooked properly, I wish they had a bit more seasoning to really bring out the flavor. My wife had the enchiladas divorciadas, which were beautifully presented, but unfortunately, the filling was a bit cool. She probably should have sent it back, but since we were in a hurry, we didn't bother. On the positive side, my daughter had the carne asada burrito, and she said it was excellent. Service started off great with our younger male waiter being very attentive at first, but it slowed down significantly as our meal went on. By the end of our visit, I actually had to go up to the register to ask to pay. It was lunch time, and it wasn't that busy, so this felt a bit out of the ordinary. Despite the hiccups, I'm willing to give Morena's Mexican Cuisine another try, as it may have just been an off day. The chips and salsa, along with my daughter's burrito, showed that they definitely have what it takes to impress. I'll reserve final judgment after my next visit!
