    Alejandra the sweet employee. I love her demeanor.

    Alejandra the front counter employee was very sweet & accommodating. I ordered wrong parts of chicken, instead of dark meat i pushed white meat on the kiosk. Luckily they tasted just as good.

    Hair in food

    Hair in my food !!!! I'm done lost my appetite didn't even get to eat a single bite got disgusted please make your cooks or food preps wear hair nets !!!! Can't even drive back to get my money because I had to get ready for work

    I usually like coming to this location but this is the 3rd time in a row something isn't okay with my food. Literally there were like 2 pieces of chicken from my son's taco & my bowl that were not burnt- I'm not sure how this would be enjoyable

    Nasty chichen

    Worst chicken from Pollo Loco I ever had! Dry, hard, overcooked and cold. I'm will never be going back to that location. Very disappointed.

    I always come to this location since it's near me. I had a very good experience at this location. Customer service was great! Blanca was able to help me out and was very friendly. My food was fresh and the chicken qnd tortillas weren't dry.

    Bad visit, do to dry chicken with beef jerky texture that hurt our teeth. If you have dentures might want to go elsewhere.

They are right next to the tire shop. Parking is limited and compact stops. Experience: There are menu posted on the windows outside, maybe this is a relic from covid times.

But so damn good, better than Wingstop. Yes I said it. Exactly what I want when I say buffalo wings (no slimy/soft skin). Great little spot! Okay Mo Val!

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 small family-owned restaurant in a lazy strip mall in Moreno Valley provided some of the most amazing Mexican food in Southern California. We visited midday on Sunday and the place was only about a third full, with plenty of indoor seating in booths and tables. You order at the counter and the friendly young woman guides you through the menu prominently featured on the wall. So many different options. For our group, we went with the King Burrito, the Carne Asada Torta and the Beef Taco and Enchilada Plate. Within 10 minutes, the nice young woman who took our order, came by with our drinks and shortly thereafter, our orders. The King Burrito I order was HUGE. Covered with an amazingly delicious salsa verde (mole or dry options also available), this 10-plus inch burrito was packed with Shrimp, Carne Asada, Home Potatoes, Mexican Guacamole, Chipotle Sauce & Cheese. Also came with a side of Sour Cream. Seriously, one of the best tasting burritos I have experienced, there is so much flavor with the surf and turf combination, that will make your tastebuds delight, and feel a little bit of heat in the process. My girlfriend's Carne Asada Torta was also delicious. She let me have a few bites and the meat was seasoned and cooked to perfection, just like it was in my King Burrito. The sandwich was also quite large had plenty of stacked ingredients to offer. Overall, the quality and portions of the food here at Los Reyes are amazing. You get tons of value and huge portions to boot. The staff is super friendly and the restaurant (and restrooms) and clean and welcoming. Plenty of parking in front, with lots of space inside. There is also a large TV featuring sports (football on Sundays, soccer other days) for your enjoyment. Come check out this family-owned restaurant in Moreno Valley.

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!

I decided to try something different and ordered the chile relleno combo plate, while my husband ordered a carne asada burrito. We ordered our food to go, and unfortunately, neither meal was up to the quality we've come to expect. The carne asada in my husband's burrito was extremely dry, and the breading on my chile relleno was unusually thick, dry, and difficult to enjoy. My first thought was that the food may have been prepared earlier and reheated, especially since I placed my order about 30 minutes before closing. I called the restaurant afterward to share my concerns and spoke with Javier. I explained the issues with both meals, but the only explanation I received was that the chile rellenos come frozen. I was disappointed with the response, especially since I've had so many positive experiences here in the past. This is still one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the area, and I'm not writing this review to discourage people from eating here. I simply wanted to share my experience so others can avoid the same disappointment. Based on this visit, I would recommend avoiding takeout close to closing time--and I personally won't be ordering the chile relleno again.
