    Fajitas
    Jose R.

    On the weekend went to go have lunch was craving fajitas had them there before. We ordered and got our food but noticed that the vegetables seemed raw so I tasted them and also no flavor. Very different than other occasions. I asked the waitress for them to cook the vegetables and add some seasoning because they are bland. She came back and said they don't season them. But they would do it this time. She brought the plate back but with out beans and the rice that the original plate had. So waited about five minutes for her to bring them back. Very bad experience. I don't think I would go back

    I probably eat at Jose's 2 to 3 times a month. Every time I get excellent friendly people greeting me and taking my order. The food and margaritas are delicious. It's truly one of the best in town. Nobody can beat their chile rellanos! is excellent every time.

    Chips & four kinds of chile salsa (there were two more kinds to choose from totaling six flavors) sure to please every member of your group!

    Excellent food! Service could not have been better as we had two or three staff check in on us! Ambiance is outdoor patio style indoors. The natural slate stone tiles and wicker canopies at each booth are a nice texture. We really love to eat here and sometimes bring out-of-towners who want great authentic Mexican cuisine. This meal was more than worth it! The value is there at $70 for the two of us and we brought home what we could not finish for another meal at home.

    AYCE tortilla chips and a wide range of salsas to select from with every dine-in purchase.

    Review #1001 While this was my first time eating at this location, I have been a fan of the company since the early 90s, especially the Redlands restaurant. Coming from the Midwest where Mexican food was mediocre at best (it may have improved by now), the food really impressed me. Shredded beef tacos, burritos, salsa bar, and endless tortilla chips? Yes, please! Over the years, I marked some changes in the food and recipes. Nevertheless, Jose's is a good spot for lunch or dinner with the family. This location on Pigeon Pass and Ironwood has a similar layout to the Redlands store, but it's easily 3x larger in terms of where diners can sit, including a covered patio. My crunchy tacos were very good, not as crunchy as I remembered, but still, well executed. I especially liked the Mexican rice and the beans. I didn't go to town on the chips and salsa, but left feeling like it was a good value for the quantity and quality.

    Chips and salsa
    Susan F.

    Absolutely love Jose's. It's been a family favorite for years. Carnitas is a must have! Order at the counter, grab a number and they will bring you the food. Salsa bar and chips available. Casual style dining atmosphere.

    California Fries
    Jesus G.

    Best carne asada fries ever! Friendly staff and great service. The salsa and tortilla chips were delicious!

    Burrito bowl - Al Pastor Pueblo Burrito
    Anthony P.

    So they raised there prices so much that it's just not worth the price anymore. Instead of small increment increases they went up at least a few dollars. Well I guess I need to find another restaurant. Good luck to Jose's with the new prices. The bowl below cost $13,48 and was not even full of product.

    Carne Asada Nachos
    Mibsam E.

    The food was okay but the services was NOT good. This restaurant is like any fast food restaurant. We got the carne asada nachos and the grilled chicken platter. Portions size are big.

    They give you a number and someone drops off your food.

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.

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!

The fries are covered with a light layer of refried beans, a melty/stretchy (oaxaca?) cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. I usually also add some red salsa as well that you can grab from the self serve salsa bar. My wife got her food first, which I didn't mind, and half brutalized it before I could get a decent picture - oops. It was a carne asada quesadilla mini meal which was like $9 and change and came with a side of rice and beans and a drink included (she got a small watermelon agua fresca). And my friend ordered the weekend special, which was the Menudo soup with tripe meat in it (as traditionally served). Lemme start with the salsa bar. It has everything you'd ever want including unlimited chips and beans. The catch is you have to scoop the beans at an awkward angle under the sneeze guard in to your serving bowl - but hey...free is free, and my wife loves free! She also super enjoyed her carne asada quesadilla mini meal and thought it was a great value. Again, my carne asada fries were perfect as always. The cheese on top is so perfect, and one day I'm going to have to ask what kind it is. It's such a large portion and I need to get a box next time instead of housing the whole plate in one sitting. I'm way too full! Lastly, my friend gave me a taste of his menudo and I think it was the best I've ever had. I'm not a menudo aficionado by any means. I've only ever had it at families homes growing up and probably never ordered it in a restaurant. But I assumed the home cooked version was supposed to be the best (sorry grandma!). The broth was much thicker and deeper red and had more flavor than any other version I've had. The tripa was also more tender. Any connoisseurs out there, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong and throw out some other spots you feel might be better. But not until you come down and give it a try yourself! There's no way you can convince me it's not great.

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.
