    We have been anticipating this restaurant opening for a while and when we saw the grand opening week we knew we had to check them out. We visited on a Sunday late afternoon and it was busy which is good because the community needs to support local business and keep them going, we see to many come and go. Service was friendly and attentive as soon as we walked in. We placed our order to go and what I really like is how they have all there sides ready to serve, I think pictures of some of the dishes that are less common to some people would be a great benefit. We ordered the fried chicken plate with collards and mac and the oxtail plate which we had the option of upgrading to fried oxtail rice which of course we did; this already hefty plate also comes with two sides and we chose the sweet potato and mashed potatoes. The mac and cheese is simple and good, the greens were good with my hot sauce at home, fried chicken was hot and tender but those oxtails and rice....man that was so flavorful and filling. The cornbread deserves mention as well, it was fluffy and slightly sweet. the sweet potatoes taste like a cobbler in my opinion and the mashed potatoes were really good. The price overall was decent considering we paid more for breakfast elsewhere than we did for our dinner at Mama Woods. Overall a great addition to the area, hope to see them on grubhub or something similar soon.

    The service the ladies greet you as soon as you come in, they make you feel welcomed. The Ambiance is nice and clean and the music is good, along the lines of classic R&B. I ordered the Ox tails plate, comes with rice. Gravy and 2 sides. The oxtails were ok. Something seemed off with the greens and baked potato. Later that night I felt sick. I wanted to really like that place.

    Good food, good atmosphere and the main important thing is good prices. I recommend this restaurant to everyone. My name is Boudreaux and I love Mama Wood Soulfood Restaurant.

    My husband and I was trying to decide where to go for lunch today so we decided to check out Mama Woods Kitchen. When we got there, we were greeted by the two young ladies in the front. They were very nice very helpful showed us all the food and all the options and described everything. The place is so cute. We decided on the meatloaf, the Smashburger and the peach cobbler. The meatloaf was very flavorful. There was a lot of food. My husband got the mac & cheese and the loaded mashed potatoes at sides and it comes with rice. Everything tasted good and was flavorful and fresh. I got the Smashburger. The meat was huge hanging off the sides of the burger very flavorful and well seasoned. Everything was fresh on the burger. My husband was so happy that a black owned business was in Moreno Valley and asked to speak with the cook or the owner Mama Woods came out she greeted us and told us the backstory of the restaurant. This lady has a testimony. Her son was killed while in college and she has a memorial of different photos set up for him and and a place for anybody to post pictures that has lost a loved one. This lady has a beautiful spirit and a great story that is worth alone coming and checking this place out. I wish her and her venture all the best. We will definitely be back.

    I am not from the area, while looking up places to eat on yelp, I came across Casa Tacos!…read moreAnd I'm so glad I did They have a good variety, I should've taken a picture of their menu, but I was too hungry. 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.

    Came for lunch with my sweetie and it didn't disappoint! My wife just wanted one Taco Carne Asada!…read moreI ordered 3 tacos ! I wanted different ones so I asked what are your favorites and that's what I ate! Now I really can't remember the names but one had chopped pineapple! It was all good! Two Horchatas with ice because it was 89 and hot! The place was well decorated and nice tables! We will return soon!

    First Impression: the store front does not match what is inside. very open and spacious with plenty…read moreof seating Location: located at an older strip mall. 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. When you enter there is a counter to place your order, they assign a table number if you are dining in. I have come here a few times and gotten to try different menu items. Everything is made to order so there is a bit of a wait depending on the time you go. The jalapeno poppers are a must try item. We really enjoyed the chille rellano burrito and added carne asada to it too. Note: The service here is always positive and i can't wait to go back to try their carne asada fries.

And I immediately could see why. The young lady at the register.. so so sweet. And personable and polite. That's how you set people's vibe first thing in the morning. Options, options and options. The wings looked too good in the reviews so I had to try. Also had a breakfast sandwich with hot links. The sandwich was good, I really liked the hot links they used (I'm particular about my hot links). If you like your eggs a little on the runny side you'll 10/10, me 9.5. But now let's get into the wings. 100000/10. They are hard fried, and saucy! The buffalo sauce is the perfect blend of tangy with that little buffalo kick. Nothing crazy spicy. 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!
