Amazing! Got seated immediately! Very accommodating for my family and myself! Made sure we were comfortable with our seating arrangements. Fast with beverages and patient with ordering. Asked questions and confirmed orders which I loved! The food came out so fast, the food was fresh, delicious and I mean every bite was perfection my family all tasted each others plate and just PERFECTION! They came up and checked on us a few times only con is that when we were done it took them a very long time to gather the check, collect our card, and return our card. The leaving process took 45 minutes alone. Other than that. Absolutely perfection. Love the cleanliness and love the portions! read more

My favorite place to get good food and a drink k definitely recommend!! Service is amazing

Looking for easy Mexican any day of the week? La Mornita is a perfect fit!! Family friendly easy going staff. During the work week lunch specials are offered and there is usually ample tables if you short on time to get in and out. Or if you ate giving a business meeting, it is not too noisy. The restaurant has been newly remodeled inside and provides a touch of Mexican flare with the decor. Do know that there is a new menu, but most of the good old dishes are on it. read more

I don't understand how inconsistent a place can be. We ate here 2 days ago & it was so delicious. My wife had the Taco salad & said it's the best she's ever had. Salad was full of ingredients & the chicken was seasoned so well. Today her shell was full of grease, had a different kind of chicken that was bland and sparse with so much onions & peppers. read more

Thank God they were open! We came to this restaurant after volunteering and it was one of the very few places open on Thanksgiving day. We were sat right away and the waitress was very kind! The inside was like most other Mexican restaurants as far as decor, nothing special that stood out but it was nice and comfortable. I don't know if I was just hungry but their chips and salsa was hitting the spot while we waited for our food. Our orders were taken quick, probably because they were closing in less than an hour. And our food took a little bit but I believe it was because it was a holiday and they were gunna close soon. I've had Molcajete from some other places and I will say their salsa is very tasty in theirs, I enjoyed it. My kids enjoyed their burrito and nachos, but my wife wasn't really feeling her Pollo con Crema. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars. Besides that we will definitely try this place again, they treated us great on a holiday! read more

I traveled from Southern California after hearing exceptional reviews about La Morenita and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warmth and professionalism. The atmosphere was inviting, cozy, and well-organized, making me feel right at home. The service and staff were outstanding--Jordan was amazing, very attentive to our needs and ensured our chips and dip were never empty. Every bite was worth the trip, and I can honestly say it's some of the best Mexican food Ive had. If you're anywhere nearby--or even if you're not--this place is absolutely worth the visit. Can't wait to come back! read more

Not worth the price and not authentic at all. Came looking for real Mexican food and it disappointed. Shell tacos and micheladas aren't prepared served in a shrimp cocktail cup? If you want real Mexican food and the experience well this is not the place for it read more

I got to go food for a Dr office! Food was hot and ready when I went to pick it up. The girls working here were really friendly and even offered to help me to the car. I forgot to order something initially i so had to go back, and together we figured out what type of tortillas I needed to still get, based off what I had just picked up! I got the burrito bowl, the portion wasnthuge, but it was pretty darn tasty! read more

La Morenita - Chilaquiles verdes con pollo - Mexican Near Me - Turlock, California

Came to have breakfast for the first time. Lola as always was really kind and gave us several suggestions. We went with chilaquiles a la Diablo with chicken and menudo. The chilaquiles are a must especially if you like spicy foods. We really enjoyed the flavors and spiciness in this dish. Definitely recommend!! The menudo was also delicious but both my husband and I enjoyed more the chilaquiles. read more

Always a great meal at La Morenita. We Californians take our great Mexican food for granted. We are so lucky to have so many authentic Mexican restaurants, not to mention the thousands of taco trucks. Other parts of the country have no clue what good Mexican food is. La Morenita is up there with the many great ones in the Central Valley. Chips, Salsa, and cabbage were good during my lunch visit. Salsa has led flavor than some of my other favorite Mexican restaurants, but still good. The cabbage wasn't as crisp as some, but the added carrots made up for it. Chips were fresh. I got a chicken tostada lunch. Just the right amount of rice and beans as sides. I always pour salsa on top of my rice. I wish La Morenita salsa had more punch - flavor wise. Server was fantastic. I didn't catch his name but he's probably been there forever. The place can stand an upgraded decor. They are always busy and should be able to afford it. Spruce it up! They should also put in a bar that solo guys like me could sit at, or do those wanting a cerveza or tequila shot. read more

By far my favorite Mexican food establishment. If Hogwarts let me buy this location and bring it to my school, I would. The food is impeccable. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The food comes out quick and delicious every time. The Ambiance is perfect for a Mexican food establishment. I highly recommend. The prices are fair and the portions are great. read more

They are always closed. But the food is good when they open. They should be more consistent with their posted schedule

La Morenita - Pescado Frito - Mexican Near Me - Turlock, California

Don't be fooled by the old sign outside. The food is fresh, flavorful and delicious!!! We were driving through town and we're craving one of their awesome burritos. Found their number on Yelp and called in a ToGo order. They sounded busy on the other end, but took our order and said it would be at least 15 minutes before it was ready. No worries...we were fifteen minutes away. What did we order??? The chicken burrito supreme with green sauce is the best in the land!!! It is big enough for two adults to share and the melted cheese and sour cream on top completely polish it off. As I'm writing this review I'm already ready to call them again!!! read more

Service was amazing I have to say that the guys were really nice. We ordered to go. I ordered the dinner with two Chile verde burritos... I was SO disappointed. I'm usually not too picky with food but the portion was way off. First off I'm used to Chile verde being juicy chunks of pork, there was hardly any filling Inside the burritos it was little shreds and the sauce is almost kind of sweet. both burritos were cold. My boyfriend ordered a shrimp burrito it came wet burrito style but since we are driving from out of town and wanted to eat while driving he had asked for the sauce to be on the inside.... So instead he got no sauce but there was still sour cream and shrimp all over the burrito... I left a really nice tip for them, too, even though we didn't dine in. For my meal and my boyfriends burrito it was $35 then I left a $10 tip so $45 for food that was practically inedible. I have to wait to go home and put it in the microwave hopefully I'll be able to eat. We were both super disappointed and won't be back... plenty of taco trucks in the area definitely try those instead! Really don't understand the glowing reviews read more

Well we'll well I have to say after avoiding this place for 18 years for mediocre food. I decided to give it a chance because my GF wanted to go and to my surprise the food was incredible. Something changed I don't know if it was the recipes or the cooks. Anyway I've been here 2 times and both times was great. I will be returning as long as it is consistent, flavorful, clean and friendly. I love that there are so many options of entrees. Just please make sure to put enough rice and beans on entrees. Presentation looks great as well. Oh the one thing I will say is they need to make sure the food comes out really quick and really hot so a couple or family can enjoy it together and eat the food hot not above warm. Other than that Great job all of you at the restaurant thank you for great food. read more

Everything is good, go there now. If I must make a recommendation, I would tell you to get the #51. And get corn tortillas like a grown-up. read more

Came here with my brother. We were hoping for some menudo but as it is in so many Mexican restaurants they only serve it on certain days. I ordered the Camarones al Mojo de Ajo. Lately, this is the dish I love to order at Mexican restaurants. Basically, it is shrimp in a strong garlic sauce. The shrimp were really delicious as were the rice and beans. I noticed that they have a dish named after Aguililla which happens to be the town where my mother was born in Michoacan, Mexico. My brother said he had heard this place was Michoacan style. Whenever, I run into paisanos I love to represent here on Yelp. Thankfully, the food was good so my review is legit. I have however, been to places that put Michoacan's name to shame. Our server was really nice and she did a great job. The place started getting packed as we were leaving. Parking is no problem at sometimes of the day. They have a small lot adjacent to the restaurant. read more

Food was okay, not that good. Tried to order two drinks from the menu and they didn't have the ingredients and/or couldn't make them. Ended up ordering a Paloma to drink, and it was terrible. Then we weren't given the opportunity to write in our tip, as the waitress wrote in a $10 tip for us. It would've been nice to be able to write it in on our own. Won't ever go back honestly. read more

We used to come here alllll the time when I was a kid and it was always very good. Then I moved out of town. I brought my family back the other day and it's probably been at least 15 years since I've eaten here, if not more. We were pleasantly surprised! Service was awesome! We were waited on quickly and checked on several times. Chips, salsa and cabbage were good. Kids liked their food and my ranchero burrito was good. My wife had the shrimp in cream sauce dish. It was amazing!!! I will be ordering that when we go back. read more

My family & I had a very nice dining experience at La Morenita. The food here is very good and their menu is pretty extensive - lots of options and something for everybody. Our host & waiter were friendly & professional and we didn't have to wait long for our food to come out. The restaurant isn't much to look at from the outside, but don't judge a book by it's cover, the food & hospitality are top notch inside. read more

Best Fajitas in town. I'm not a huge fan of the ambiance inside the restaurant and think it could definitely be improved but we have always had great service when eating there. We do usually order as take out. read more

This place more than makes up for my earlier experience at Meme Tequila Cocina. The decor is tile and Mexican murals, Talavera pottery, and ceiling fans. Very tradicional. The service is very professional and prompt. We ordered nachos with chicken, got nachos carne asada, pointed it out and got an immediate apology, comp on the beef, and a corrected order. That's service. read more
