Overpriced for basic Mexican food. Stopped by on a Tuesday because King City Grill was closed.

Traveling back to the Bay Area from a SoCal college tour with my students, we stopped in a small town and found Lorena's Taqueria. A quintessential "mom and pop" restaurant, Lorena's Taqueria welcomed all 15 of my hungry students without any advanced notice. When I say "welcomed," I mean smiles and that hospitality that you would find only in a small town with familiar faces and "regulars". With a staff of maybe 3 or 4 people, they made all of our orders quickly, hot and ready, fresh off the stove. The tortillas were homemade; I mentioned that I was allergic to flour, and within minutes, he had produced a corn tortilla to wrap the love within a burrito. The food was tasty, fresh, flavorful. Can't beat "momma's cooking"! We even met Lorena and her family, and they were gracious enough to let us take a picture with her family. Good honest folks and a tight-knit family business. Hospitality goes a long way; we must be more grateful for our essential workers; they take care of us, so we must take care of them. read more

Over priced and tiny portions for the price. I ordered a Quesabirria plate. It clear states plates come with rice and beans. They gave me beans in a tiny cup and no rice. I asked the girl at the register. She looked like a deer in the head lights. She was confused what rice was. My husband's expensive burrito was made for a small child not a hard working man on his lunch break. They also gave themselves a tip. She never told us we were going to get charged extra for breathing inside their tiny empty restaurant. If y'all see a Mexican restaurant empty and a huge line at the Mexican restaurant across the street, go across the street. This restaurant is empty for a reason. Rude customer service, hot as fudge inside (it felt more like a sauna ) and tables were dirty AND terribly small portions. I gave my husband one of my two Quesabirrias. Did I mention we paid over $30!!! , I was starving by the time we left the restaurant Lorena's deserves -stars!! 1 star is far too generous. read more

This place is AMAZING! I've had both the tacos and the burritos here. What sets this place aside from other locations is it's handmade tortillas. Both corn and flour. Inside of the burrito and tacos is all wonderful. The house salsa has amazing flavor. Food service is fast here and the food quality is amazing. Hands down one of the best burritos I've had in a long time. The tortilla makes a huge difference in the quality. Small, but clean location. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Worth getting off the 101! Traveling back to San Jose we stopped in King City and found this restaurant. First, the service was great. The young man behind the counter patiently answered our questions and willing offered recommendations. The food was amazing and prepared fresh. They also had real Coke with sugar not HFC. Well worth the stop. read more

Ate inside and food was tasty. Ordered two dishes Mojarra Frita (fried fish, rice, beans) and the Quesadilla Michoacana with carne asada. Both plates were big. The Quesadilla is on a big football sized homemade tortilla. The fish also came with homemade tortilla. We order Mojarra everywhere that has it and this one was average. Fish was big but kind of mushy like it was frozen. Rice and beans had good flavor. Never had a Michoacana style quesadilla but it tasted good and had lots of meat, cheese, crema and fixings. There inside dining was open while the place across the street was still take out only. read more

I hate to be giving this place a 3 star. It has the potential to be a 4 star if the food tasted better. I ordered the carne asada plate. It came with beans and rice and a small salad, if you can even call it that. The beans had not taste to it and a little on the runny side. The rice did taste pretty good and it wasn't hard like I've had in a lot of places. Now the carne actually tasted better than I thought. The seasoning was pretty good, but it was over cooked. A little on the dry side. With such a thin piece of meat, it was definitely left on the grill a little too long. My wife ordered the lengua and I had a bite and it was very bland. It was tender though, but had no flavor. We also ordered a large Jamaica for $2. Don't know how big it actually was, but it looked like a 36 or 40oz cup. It was good and hit the spot. And for $2, definitely worth it. Also, not sure why, but they have a giant 65" flat screen in the back. I guess that's for watching soccer or other sporting event. The restroom is outside towards the back of the building. It didn't have a smell, but does need a make over though. read more

Delicious!! We usually go across the street for our tacos but we decided to give this place a try and I'm glad we did. Excellent customer service. Our food came out quickly and the food was delicious. We will definitely be coming back for more! read more

Yay to the freshly made tortillas. Menu isn't super impressive but it was the only place we could find with brunch options.

I was craving a quasadilla made with corn flour. So I decided to give this place a shot. I ordered over the phone so I didn't get the price, partly my fault. When I arrived, I was charged nearly 16$ for a "michoacana quasadilla". I was surprised at the price and asked what it came with. When I got home, I opened my plate to notice a really small portion of rice and beans. Beans were runny with no flavor at all. Salsa seemed like it was sitting all day. The quasadilla looked more like two tacos. Tortilla falling apart as well. Such a bad experience, as I even drove all the way back to the restaurant to ask for a refund or an exchange. They said "no, you get what you pay for". I will never return here, and do not recommend at all. Save yourself some time and go to Tacos La Potranca across the street. If zero stars was an option I'd give it to them. read more

One of the more authentic Mexican restaurants in King city. My favorite dish is Mojito Frita. Twice cooked fish with refried beans rice and salad. My wife who is from Japan swears by this recipe. I'm not all that crazy about the chili rellenos' which Is usually the dish I judge Mexican restaurants by. For those I prefer Guadalajara which is about half a block away. read more

Carne Asada burrito for $6.03. Very small with rice, beans and meat and no other options offered. Tasty but not much better than something you'd get at Taco Bell. Should've stayed with Tacos La Potranca across the street ... $.30 more for a very good burrito that's twice the size. Thought I'd try something different ... live and learn. Clean establishment with friendly prompt service ... YMMV, but I'd recommend the place across the street. read more

I'm a truck driver and had a delivery in King city this morning, I've tried other taquerias here, but this was my first time at Lorina's taqueria, I had a pork burrito with green sauce, it was one of the best tasting burritos I can recall ever having! I'll absolutely come back next time I'm in King city. read more

Mucho espacio para comer. Baño limpio. Y sobre todo la comida riquísima, muchas gracias por un buen servicio!

This place has the BEST tortillas ever. The flour tortillas are made fresh in house and I just want to eat them plain! But the rest of the food is good as well and the prices are great. The horchata is delicious also. We don't even live near here, but wherever we drive through king city, we make it a point to stop. read more

We stopped in for breakfast after Thanksgiving. My boyfriend's mother comes here regularly and is on a first name basis with the whole staff. I went for a quesadilla. Great rice and beans.

Nice little family owned taqueria. I am vegan, so I asked for a special order of potato tacos and they were very delicious. All the reviews are true. The tortillas are sooooo good. My friend got the empanaditas and rice - she wasn't very happy with the meat but everything else as great. read more

Good service, good food, clean dining and bathrooms - very friendly and welcoming to travelers passing through.

I love that downtown King City is a 4 block expanse of delish Mexican food! We stopped by Lorena's on a recent road trip and I was pleasantly surprised they had a mole dish. I got chicken mole enchiladas and it was perfectly spicy, sweet and savory. The employees were helpful and so kind. My only wish was that they had beers, alas no luck for thirsty me but I'm a survivor! Importantly when road tripping, they had a clean bathroom and large parking lot. I'll definitely return on my next trip to so Cal, Arroyo Seco or the Pinnacles! read more
