I'm going to keep it short .... Lorena's Mexican Food is "under new management". We are informed that the name will stay as is, as well as the menu and the cook and regular staff. This is news and I'm glad that at least for the time being we won't see any major changes. 2 crunchy beef tacos and Flan and a Churro for the lovely missus. #18 Chili Verde plate with Corn tortillas (4) and add a Bean and Cheese Burrito for me. Yes, we don't mind having the Mild Salsa with our meals. The food was skillfully prepared and we had a genuine feast at home. We'll come back to Lorena's to "check" on "new management". read more

I was craving some authentic Mexican food, so I stopped into Lorena's, and I was bot disappointed! The building is a classic drive in / drive theu with limited seating outside. The service is always fast and friendly, and the food superb! I ordered the two enchilada plate that comes with a side of beans and your choice of spicy red or green sauce. That sauce has a kick! Super Fries are another favorite and the chili relleno. Enjoy! read more

+ Convenient, efficient service. + Affordable, - but low-value food. I had the Chimichanga combo plate. Besides the serving of rice, there's even more rice inside the burrito. The tortilla is thick. My meal was carb-heavy but barely adequate in protein. . Their small parking lot has a narrow one-way drive-thru lane. - We ordered through Seamless, but at checkout the payment wouldn't go through. We called. They said they don't use Seamless. So, we had to reorder everything. I showed the staff the Seamless option on their online ordering portal. Seems they still haven't removed it. read more

This place is such a hidden gem! I can't believe I didn't try Lorena's sooner. The carnitas can be hit or miss elsewhere, but their carnitas and adobada tacos blew me away. They come topped with guac, pico, and a fried jalapeño, and I highly recommend the green sauce! I'm not a burrito person, but theirs was amazing... The lady who takes my order is always so sweet and friendly. They accept Apple Pay, and while I usually go through the drive-thru, there's also a small outdoor seating area. Please give their menu a try! read more

I use to come here a lot for taco Tuesday, the price was reasonable and the quality was really good like maybe two years ago. Today the prices are still good on Tuesday but the quality of the taco went down imo, I wouldn't come back to this place especially when there's so many other places around read more

Two Beef Burritos. Give it a try and see. This is a combo meal built for sharing, making it a value as well.

A little bit slow on the wait time 45 minutes of waiting just to get a burri, it was not even rush hour

Was craving chicken taquitos and this was the fix I was looking for. Taquitos were crispy and thankfully not over done. The chicken had good flavor and the guac was solid. Pro tip: get the green salsa, good flavor with a slight creaminess and kick to it! read more

Honestly, I've always wanted to try this place because I always pass by their bright yellow sign. A couple nights ago, I decided to pull the trigger. I got out of the car to order and online it said they close at 10:00pm but they actually close at 9:30...we got there around 8:20-8:30 and they were already cleaning and wrapping up. We ordered a mar y tierra burrito, 2 chicken enchiladas, 2 beef enchiladas, and a horchata. Total came out to be around $33-34. A little steep for what it was, but I wanted to try. Burrito: I guess I can't exactly blame the establishment entirely since we got there closer to closing but the burrito was one of the greasiest I've had in a very long time. Just holding the burrito and biting into it there was grease and oil spilling out. I knew that this one would wreck my bowels but I finished it for the Yelp review. Enchiladas: they were...okay. The sauce had an odd bitterness to it. Tasted like the enchilada sauce you get from the can. You can definitely taste a bit of that metal. Horchata: it was good. It's horchata. It's hard to mess up. The service: the lady who took our order was sweet but she almost forgot our horchata and I had to remind her a couple times. I also asked her for both red and green sauce on the enchilada and she acknowledged my order but I ended up receiving just the red sauce. If this was a late night spot, I wouldn't be mad. If I was coming back from a night of drinking and this was open at 1-2am, I would wolf down all of this no problem. But they close at 9:30pm and their food is leaves a lot to be desired so I don't think I'd come back, especially since there are better spots to get Mexican food that close around the same time. Tl;dr Not the cheapest, not the tastiest, you can do better. read more

This was our go to spot, unfortunately this place has gone down hill quick. The authenticity of the food has left the bar. There is a gambling with getting the food you ordered in your bag. Today's order has been the 2nd time when I lost the gamble and received the wrong order. This will be the last time we get our Mexican food from Lorena's. read more

Well I must add this review because twice now I have ordered either crunchy tacos or taquitos and twice had to throw them out! They were so very hard could not even eat them. Crunchy is one thing but when you can't even chew them that is a bit much. Almost like the tortillas are either too thick or been frozen too long, inedible either way. read more

The food is so good and the service is great! I recommend it 100%. Coming back again for their menudo and tacos!

Got the Al pastor super nachos and carne Asada super fries. They were yummy! Nachos were NOT stale and everything was seasoned beautifully. I do wish the size was larger hence my $1.50 large upgrade. Overall would get this again. Hopefully they are consistent tho! read more

This place is horrible. I went through the drive-through and ordered and pulled up to the window and waited about 15 to 20 minutes for someone to come up for the lady to tell me that she is busy they never made my food never took my order. I waited there for about 15 to 20 minutes at the window for her to tell me she's busy this is ridiculous read more

Food is overpriced, they up charge to use debit and they made me wait to just take my order. Got Mar y Tiera burrito and the burrito was soggy and ripped apart. Flavor was okay but not worth the price. Go to Del Taco down the street read more

Our dinner Chicken soup little veggie when I asked for extra! Asked for little meat, they gave me an over cooked drumstick with the skin hanging! Came some type of red chili sauce, the soup didn't have the original chicken flavor! Machaca dinner The veggies were over cooked! The meat and eggs were crispy in 1/2 my plate! Needless to say my Machaca was very dry! I will never go there again! read more

Ugh! Just got the WORST Taco salad from here from Postmates. It was literally 90% rice! Never again!! read more

Worse waiting experience! I left work early to go to my kids game, I was asked to pick up some tortas for the game. I got there when the sun was out, left when the sun was gone! In the drive thru, even people behind just decided to leave. Bad bad bad , over 30 minutes in the drive thru. Was late at the game, tortas cold, very upset and even my hunger went away! They lost a client! Never again!!!! Had to put 1 star, "had to" but honestly ZERO! read more

Not too many places serve ground beef, especially here in the OC; this place does Red/ green salsa's are Couldn't resist the ground beef tacos and ground beef burritos- delicious Staff is friendly, great service! They have an outside eating area, great for a sit down meal, in a relaxed setting. Thank you Lorena's, will be back again! read more

I go here often and the quality and service is consistently excellent. I usually get a breakfast burrito with a few modifications and they are ALWAYS done well and the staff are always so friendly and never act like modifications are an issue. Their tortillas are awesome, and everything that I've had is great! This is my go-to for Mexican food. read more

Great local spot for Mexican food. The menudo was delicious, had a great spice to it, breakfast burrito was delicious as well. They have a drive thru which was super convenient. Would recommend if you're in the area. read more

I tried Lorena's this past weekend. I ordered a bunch of different things to try: -grilled chicken burrito -chile verde burrito -shrimp burrito -bean and cheese burrito -chile relleno burrito -adobada burrito -taquitos -menudo -pozole Everything tasted ok, but I will definitely go back for the adobada burrito. Portions on everything was good. Service was quick and good. read more

Lorena’s Mexican Food - Adobada burrito. Good flavor. - Mexican Near Me - Westminster, California

I had the birria tacos plate with rice and beans. Meat was had no flavor despite looking pretty good. The only thing that tasted good was the beans and rice. Red salsa had no flavor just a spicy aftertaste. Green sauce pretty good, I had to douse my tacos in it to finish them. Maybe if they just seasoned it more it would have been alright. Service was good tho the guy was pretty nice, even told me I made a good choice and I was going to enjoy them so can't hate on em or anything. read more

This place will have my only one star. They cheat here ( see my receipt ). so I ordered a burrito (beef) barely any meat in there just rice and beans:(. Now the price was 6.99 plus tax but there were a (cash discount fee) what's the flying pig is a cash discount fee??? .28c plus tax .61c = $7.88 Business like this will die, business like this can only lie and cheat only a few people. People check your receipt and ask them what is the "cash discount fee" and if you theres a service for a debit/credit card then it's not worth being a customer.... read more

Best homemade tortillas ever!!! Food quality is great and not greasy like other burrito joints! I recommend this place to all my friends WHO live or work around here and they've all loved it! 7 star restaurant! read more

Nice and friendly service. Food is subpar, I'm pretty sure I prefers chicken enchiladas but received pretty terrible semicold cheese enchiladas. The cheese in the enchilada weren't even melted yet, I think they forgot to heat it up? The rice was a bit dry and the beans were ok, food wasn't hot. Definitely not coming back read more

My first time at this place... Not disappointed! I ordered a Bean & Cheese Burrito & an order of Al Pastor Fries. Yes... Al Pastor Fries! YUM! The fries were crispy and super tasty. Usually I get the Carne Asada fries, but the Al Pastor on the fries was a nice change. Will definitely be back! read more

Lorena’s Mexican Food - Al Pastor fries... Yum! - Mexican Near Me - Westminster, California

I will not return. I ordered carne asada nachos. The chips were very stale, salsa had no taste, and the guacamole tasted really old. Like they mixed old guac with new guac to keep the color sort of bright green and new. It was so off! The salsa is very watered down.. the lady charged me $1.50 extra for a large when I didn't ask for an upgrade. It wasn't even that big of a portion either lol. Overall, it was my first time visiting and will not return. Would not recommend trying either! I had a ton of naked chips leftover because there was not a lot of meat, let alone cheese or guac toppings either. They hella skimped out.... Yea, very disappointed. Steer clear. Perhaps go to the popular place down the street for their famous carne asada fries/nachos. It's cheaper by a few dollars, way tastier, and the portion size is larger. They charged me $14 here and I paid cash, but they didn't include a cash discount like the rest of their customers on here that posted their receipt. I'm not sure if they charge a credit card surcharge, but I'm not returning to try again. I don't like inconsistency or being served stale food near or on expiration dates. read more

We'd thought we'd try a new place as our little Taco Place by us was closed . I guess I didn't read down far enough on the reviews. Picked up two beef tacos , beef taquitos and a combo plate with Chile verde. The flour tortillas were very good. Like homemade, large. The taquitos and tacos were very hard with hardly any beef filling . The beef was very weto without any flavor or seasoning and dry. The avocado/guacamole was something that got pumped out of a can? . Not a sign of real avocado in sight. Frijoles meh bland , and Mexican rice passable with a little more mild flavor. The Chile verde had bite/flavor but the meat used was of a lesser quality and a bit chewy, should have been soft and tender. Nothing that reminded me of home & my Tia's cooking . I wanted to like this place but I can't recommend it. Adios Lorena. read more

First time would have been a 5 star rating. Ordered 2nd time and was not happy. Shrimp cocktail had jalapeño seeds all up in it. First bite burned my lips amd roof of my mouth! Took over an hour to recover and then had to toss it. Tried to remove the seeds by straining the juice and found like 6 pieces of shrimp lol from a large order. The hard shell ground beef tacos weren't to die for. I mean the shrimp cocktail just about killed me. The chicken hard taco was better. Definitely not ruling this place out and will give it another shot. Next time I will try something else. read more

Yucky oily taquitos with no taste. You can tell they were not fresh and watery guacamole was piled on with melted cheese. Salsa had no taste and the beans and rice were nasty. If you want good Mexican food, this isn't that place. read more

I would've given a 3-Star but the lady that works there with the bump on her arms always upsell without saying anything. I come here at least once a month and every time I order Carne Asada nachos/fries, she always charges me for a Large! At least ask me if I want a Large. The food here is good, mediocre enough for me to come back all the time. But yeah, the upsell without telling me and also the .85 cents fee for using Card kills me! To the lady, please stop doing this to people. I love to support small business and I've been supporting you guys for years. But these little shady tactics make we want to stop supporting. read more

New to the neighborhood and wanted to try the closest Mexican spot to our new house. Got to the drive thru at 9:50pm, their posted hours are until 10pm. Lights on but no one working the drive thru window. Completely ignored us. Really? If you are hiding from your customers because you are trying to clean up and go home then try off your lights. We'll be giving our business Ed's to Taxo Grill or Sabrosada! Zero stars! read more

Very bad service... the cashier at the drive tru very rude .. she's a young girl.... I asked her for lemons and she gave me attitude and when she gave me my order she didn't say thank you or have a nice day........ very bad customer service read more

Always delicious...this is our go to Mexican spot thanks for always making delicious authentic Mexican food

Thought I would give this place a shot since it's closer to my house than Sabrosada. This review is based on the price of the veggie burrito. Went through the drive through and ordered what I always order, a veggie burrito. A friend of mine ordered the five mini taco plate. Didn't ask about the price and headed to the pickup window. After about 5 minutes, the cashier came out and said the total was $17.54. I was a little shocked, seemed kind of expensive for what we ordered. I went ahead and paid and asked for the receipt. Reviewing the receipt I noticed abnormal charges for 1X Asada Burrito ($6.25) and 2X Extra Guacamole ($1.50). I asked the cashier why I was charged for an Asada Burrito and extra guacamole twice since all I ordered was a veggie burrito. His response was, "We don't have an input on our point of sale system for a veggie burrito." I get that the place is new and maybe everything isn't setup yet, but why would you charge for one of the more expensive Asada burritos ($6.25) and then add additional charges for guacamole ($1.50) TWICE! Veggie burritos are typically less than Asada Burritos. The total for my veggie burrito was $9.25+Tax! I would have probably let it go if he just charged me for an Asada Burrito, but to charge me twice for additional guacamole and one of the burritos with meat was just ridiculous. My advice to management, come up with a set price for a veggie burrito. My advice to customers, only come here if you want to pay a ridiculous price for a veggie burrito. The burrito wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. I'll probably continue going to Sabrosada, where I can get a better veggie burrito for half the price. Happy Holidays. read more
