I ordered the menudo and it was just okay--nothing great, and it felt like it was missing something. We also ordered a burrito, a torta, and some tacos. The burrito and torta were very light on meat, according to my wife. The tacos were okay. Service was excellent, and the atmosphere was decent, but the food didn't live up to expectations. read more

Carniceria La Morena - Menudo - Grocery Near Me - McDonough, Georgia

Super friendly staff and great food! There is even a section for shopping! There is music playing over the store and it's a great vibe and for a really good price! They have a self service station for any sauce or extras like lime you can want! Food came super quick and was so good! Would recommend trying if you are in town! read more

Amazing street tacos! Exactly what we were hoping to find! Lovely little salsa bar with all the fixins, corn tortillas always preferred but you can choose, with grilled onion bulbs and a pepper with each order = The best we've found south of the city. Gracias!! read more

Oh my gosh folks. I've lost a little faith in local Yelpers around here. Being from out of town I rely on reviews and have been let down two nights in a row. This place is a confusing mix of market, taqueria, cash remittance, and tax advisor. Having never been there it was not at all clear what to do (seat yourself, order at counter, etc.) but they eventually took pity on me. Service was curt, food was below average (very dry), atmosphere was okay (I guess) as I prefer local places. Sorry read more

In town for work and was craving mexican. Found this nearby and picked up 4 steak tacos. Staff was very friendly, tacos were affordable and delicious. I'd definitely go back if/when I'm back in the area read more

Food was good. It's your typical no fuss, Mexican market/restaurant. Everyone spoke Spanish and very little English. Everyone I was with thankfully speaks fluent Spanish so they did the ordering. When I tried to order in English I just got a blank stare and didn't get the drink I asked for (iced tea) but a water bottle. So I just got up and went to the drink aisle in the market where they grab ur drinks and picked out a Topo Chico to swap out for the pur life water bottle she brought. The pastor taco and asada burrito were good. My friend got the chicken burrito and said it was basically all lettuce and just had a little chicken. My asada burrito had good flavor but also could have had more asada inside. The $2.50 tacos seemed to have more meat than the burritos which was the only bummer. Would go back again since you're still getting a decent amount of food without paying the $14+ burrito "white wash Mexican" restaurant prices. read more

We, as a family, love this place and eat here regularly (weekly at the least). Their tacos aren't cheap, but they're not expensive and they give you a good value. My daughter and I love the tacos al pastor. Their tacos de Cameron are also excellent. The salsa bar has some amazing choices as well. Drinks come in two forms - on tap in the form of Tamarindo, Horchata, Agua de Mango, and Jamaica/Hibiscus or in bottles from the fridge. The cervesa selection is good and their prices are very reasonable (some places charge you as much for a single as you'd pay for a six pack). I don't think I've ever had anything bad from this place. Their tortas (sandwiches) are some of my favourites and every once in a while they'll have flautas (enough time feed two). Service is friendly (English is optional) and the small Mercado that they run makes it convenient when we need supplies but just don't want to deal with Walmart! read more

I am from San Diego, and we shop at a Mexican owned grocery store for our taco ingredients. Imagine my excitement when we found this gem two miles from my parents house! They had everything we needed from fresh produce, real corn tortillas, queso fresco to Jarritos and Mexican candy! They also sell prepared food which we will try next time. Great store! Friendly staff! Great addition to the McDonough community! read more

Very clean establishment both on market side AND restaurant area. I got a quartet of tacos. Tripas has been my fave, a bit bland but the chewy/crispy texture that I like was on point. Carne Asada was a bit tough and bland. The carnitas was good, it had skin in it . Chorizo was aight. There's a green salsa that was very flavorful but needed some salt. It's not the salsa verde one, it was sorta kinda lumpy so not sure if it had avocado in there but it had good heat! The red one with roasted Chile was good too! Would totally come back, though. Salt can always be added on bec flavor was in there. read more

Their food is good - I'm from California and the burrito almost hit like Cali burritos if you order it the right way. The service from the short girl up the front sucked. I called in my order told her what I wanted with two drinks and when she asked if that was it I said yes she hung up . Didn't even get my name or did I get a number ticket. They close @ 9 I pulled in at 850 McDonough traffic sucks ! But I got there before they closed and she had a attitude because she had to open the door to let me in and was talking her mess in Spanish but I understood her cuz I know Spanish. She got annoyed and rolled her eyes because I asked her where my two drinks were , she then rang me up and had me pay for the drinks but over the phone I had asked for the two drinks idk if I paid twice or what but I wasn't going to say anything because we could of gotten to arguing. Tacos are dry !! But I'm sure if you get salsa or lime it should help. Just be sure to ask for it because they don't put it in the bags .. read more

It's always nice to have a secret taco spot close to your office. Especially when the quality totally exceeds expectations and the price is super reasonable. The counter to order or table to order is super quick. There is a salsa bar with to go ramekins too! The verde salsa is amazingly fresh and simple but has the best flavors. Don't be afraid to get the red salsa but be aware it will light you up. This is traditional Carniceria so you can grab some butcher items or a few grocery/home goods while you are there as well. They have cold Topo Chico is the cooler right by the order counter! I got my meal to go: 3 chorizo street tacos with onions, cilantro and rice and beans as a side. The whole meal was perfect. Like it could eat it everyday perfect. Highly recommend. read more

Tacos dry, service shit, overcharge as hell. It used to be good when it opened but since.... Hell to fuck nk read more

Really great tacos. Absolutely recommend this place. Tasty, affordable, authentic. The folks here are really nice too!

Best tacos you could ask for! The market side also has great quality meat and veggies! My favorite place to eat!

La morena is a nice little Mexican market with a restaurant attached. The tacos are the best in the Atlanta area , we had order tacos and quesadillas , the hot sauce is home made and very good as well, and the meat from the market is of very good quality, I usually go there when I want to make fajitas. read more

I visit here for the restaurant and not grocery. Definitely authentic Mexican!! Best Mexican cuisine in McDonough. The steak tacos are the best! If you are looking for a complete meal, ask about the daily Special. If you're looking for a fancy restaurant, this is not it but good mexican, it is! read more

Here you'll find the most tasteful authentic mexican food you'll come across in Georgia. Not only is the food delicious. It's so delicious, they don't even advertise. Well at least, I haven't seen one. I came across this restaurant through a word of mouth about a year ago. Since then, I've ate here at least 20 times. I can't get enough of their menu. I truly appreciate this place. My family is Mexican. So, I know this is the real deal. read more

When it comes to Mexican food, there is nothing better in the entire county than this place. There's a grill on the back of the shop, where a man and his family cook to order. Since it's also a market, the meats and products are fresh. You get to pick your own drink from the cooler. Wide variety of soft drinks, all in a glass bottle. As I said, when it comes to Mexican food there's nothing even close to this place around. read more

If you want real Mexican food, this is the place to go. Their tacos are out of this world. My go to every time is the carne asade, and they've never disappointed. Don't be confused when you go in as this place is also a grocery store, but take it as a good sign, because this place is doing it right. read more

The food is soooo good!!! The guacamole and chicken tacos are delicious. You won't be disappointed.

To all my Cali native this the spot. The Closest thing to LA Street tacos. Sopes on point thats shit put a smile on my face. I Ordered 8 tacos 2 burritos and a sopes, i ate the sopes and 4 taco in the parking lot before i left and the rest for later later... i know huh monster locc. I'll be back. read more

I've been here a couple of times now. This place is a great, hidden gem. You might not know that there's a taqueria in the back when you first look at the shop. It seems like just a carnicera and little grocery shop, but when you go in, there's the grill space at the back. The food there is excellent. It's all very fresh and the taste is amazing. There's a wide variety of choices for the type of meat you want in your taco/burrito. My favorites are el pastor and lingua. There's also several types of fresh salsa you can add. Plus, the price is very reasonable. The tacos are like little slices of heaven and the burritos are definitely filled to capacity. Since it's a little grocery store as well, there's a huge variety of drinks to pick from, too, with lots of flavors of Jarritos, if that's your thing (it's my thing). I only wish I lived closer, as I'd love to stop by more often. read more

I'm from Los Angeles and I've lived many places but they have the best street tacos I've found since I left home. Plus a salsa bar! I love the variety they offer read more

Ordered takeout/delivery from here recently while traveling. Delivery time was exceptional! Arrived earlier than expected. Food was okay. Ordered Molcajete and upon opening the box; I see a huge spring onion that looked as if it was plucked out of the garden and thrown on top of the food and long chunks of what ended up being slices of cheese that were thrown in on top and never melted. Same with the beans and rice (large slices/chunks of cheese that were unmelted). I mean okay it's delivery when it's a dish served naturally in a molcajete at the restaurant so I get that it wouldn't be perfect, but the overall presentation was a little bit of a put off. Thankfully the food was tasty enough that i would return or order from them again. read more

My husband and I came here about a month ago. We were visiting from L.A., where delicious Mexican food abounds. We came across this place as we were driving around, and it's great. The food was tasty, fresh and plentiful; and the homemade tortillas were the icing on the cake! The only bad thing is that the hours are kind of short...they didn't open until 9am, which is a little late for breakfast for us. But we'll be sure to change our schedule on our next visit in a couple of months...yummy! read more

My First time visiting, the Cuban Torta was Delicious! I will be going back and trying other menu items! Authentic!
