I had such a great experience at Morena Mia Tacos! The customer service was honestly incredible--super friendly, welcoming, and made the whole visit even better. I ordered three asada tacos, and they were really good--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can tell they care about both the food and the people they serve. Definitely coming back again. Highly recommend if you're looking for great tacos and even better service! read more

Online says 9pm close. The sign on door says 9pm close. I arrived there 8:04pm STARVING and super excited to try cuz the pics online looked so amazing... when we arrived the guy there said we are closed. Unfriendly and totally didn't gaf . I was crushed and disappointed...no sorry we are closing early .. just zip. I left dejected but also a bit upset cuz it wasn't like I was trying to keep them open longer than their posted signage. Anyways. With all the places to try, I might eventually try to give them another chance. But maybe not. The way we were treated sucked!!!! We went to jollibee instead and thank goodness they served quickly...I was shaking with hunger and my belly was cramping so being dismissed instantly left a really bad impression. I really hope that was a one off and they don't normally treat customers like this???? read more

This place is a hidden gem! In a plaza full of Asian food options Morena Mia is a welcome surprise. Right when you walk in the aesthetic is so welcoming and cute. It is definitely very instagrammable and lots of opportunities to take cute pictures of your food or the restaurant. The menu had great variety, something for everyone. There was carne, pastor, chicken, keto options, vegan options, birria, dinner plates, desserts, appetizers and beverages. There were a couple of specials advertised (two tacos and drink and the other being fish and/or shrimp). I got the fish and shrimp plate and had to throw in an extra birria cuz your girl was hungryyyyy (and also I couldn't make up my mind, everything sounded so good lol). The food came out fast and was hot, my husband got the chicken taquitos which he loved with a side of rice and beans. My birria tacos came with a salsa I haven't tried before and it was so good! Spicy and smoky and complimented my taco really well. The meat was tender and flavorful and the tortillas tasted homemade. The shrimp and fish you can get breaded or not, I opted for grilled. The shrimp was generous and fish very fresh (didn't have that fishy taste). I recommend both the green and red salsa so you can alternate. They also serve pozole and menudo but I believe pozole is a weekend option? All in all great value and delicious food! Can't wait to come back, thank you Morena Mia Tacos! read more

When you first walk in you will find yourself looking for a menu. However, they don't have a physical menu, you have to scan a barcode that they have near the register. We were greeted right away and the service was pretty fast. We got our food within 5-10 minutes of ordering. Everything was delicious! Both the burrito and torta were cut in half which can be convenient for some but I personally don't like when my burrito is cut in half because burritos are already pretty messy and it being cut in half didn't really help with that. The place is pretty cozy so I can imagine it gets overwhelming during lunch rush. Overall, I enjoyed the food and service. read more

If you're looking for a legit taco spot, this is it. I've been coming here for the last six months and it's become my go-to. Their birria tacos are delicious packed with flavor and always made right. It feels like a hidden gem in the area, and since there aren't many taco places nearby, I'm so glad I found this one. Highly recommend! read more

The location to Morena Mia is in a busy plaza with plenty of parking up front. There are quite a few tables available to sit at, and the decor was very cute. We ordered the birria tacos both regular and (dorados) crunchy they were delicious, the meat was tender and well seasoned. Options for onions and cilantro are available, it also comes with a small side of cucumbers. I enjoyed eating the cabeza tacos here again the seasoning is great, and the meat was very soft. The salsas were both very good. The green salsa was my favorite of the two options. They had aguas Fresca I think it was horchata and agua de piña. The wait wasn't too bad maybe about 10 minutes considering it was pretty crowded at the time we went. read more

I came to the area to do some shopping and saw this place across the street. Who can turn down tacos right? I got 3 asada tacos and they were definitely some of the best tacos i had in a long long time! They were soo good i got 3 to go for work the next day. I will come back and try the birria and pastor tacos! You can tell the tacos are made with the best fresh ingredients. The salas were great! They don't cut corners here. Its very clean inside and they have horchata and hibiscus drinks. Everyone should be going here.. Food rating: Asada tacos 9.8\10 the highest taco rating. They were fantastic! read more

I'm not sure how long this place has been opened. First time trying them, and it was okay. I was confused though why there was a "Tacos de papa" on the sign" but then not on their main menu. Do they have tacos de papa? Anyways, ordered tacos de carnitas (a bit too chewy tough) the fish taco and the burrito was decent though, good sauce, not too chewy. The ratio to meat, rice, and all the fixings could be more proportioned, it was like 3/4 rice to 1/4 meat filling in the burrito. Might try it again on another day. Props to having a very clean space though. read more

The food and the service here is incredible! My husband walked in on Christmas Eve after I've been looking for good Birria tacos all week. They were just about closed, but the man and the cook that were working and closing up the shop were so gracious to make a meal for him to take home! I could not believe the kindness these two men showed on a holiday night. And, the food was DELICIOUS! I was very happy with my order -- I could tell that these two men really cared about people and their customers. I'm already looking forward to coming back in the new year, this will be my new spot! 10 stars for this place! read more

I needed to find a restaurant where I could get food without gluten due to allergy. All of the other nearby eateries were Asian, where it would be difficult to eat gluten-free. You order at the counter, and the staff was very helpful. They were very accommodating about my gluten allergy. I ordered the 2-tacos, rice and beans lunch special. The food was fresh and delicious. The amount of carnitas on the tacos was satisfying. The corn tacos were a rose color from beet juice. My hubby got the shrimp burrito and enjoyed it. They make their own horchata and Jamaica! Yummy. I will be back. read more

THEY HAVE TACO TUESDAY DEAL! Buy 2 get 1 free. Had a craving for tacos so looked at maybe 20+ different places before deciding to try this. The pink tortilla makes it interesting. We love home made tortillas. I got 2 al pastor (it's on the spinning stick thing), 1 tripas and 1 buche. Also asked for grilled onions and grilled peppers. Took it home so me and wife could try it out. Definitely made to order and it was so hot that the cilantro was completely cooked within the 4 minute drive home. Overall, a decent taco. Priced a bit high for the taste, but very understandable for the location. The inside was also very bright and clean and cashier was very friendly. read more

We were so busy talking I completely forgot to take pictures of all of our yummy food. The restaurant is small and casual. Service was very friendly and helpful. Everything was cooked when we ordered our takeout and it smelled delicious!!! We ordered a little of everything...tacos, burritos, quesadillas, birria plate and the heaviest plate of carne asada fries! It was all fresh and flavorful. We will definitely be back and hopefully remember to take pictures. read more

Great fish taco but the rest was flavorless - dry meat and tortillas. Service and ambiance was fine.

Tacos are made fresh to order. Carne asada tacos flavor is inconsistent. They were flavorful and good on a Tuesday. We craved them the next day, and on Wednesday, they had a different flavor. On another day, they were bland. It's a hit or miss. read more

This place is such a vibe! I came across this on Yelp trying to find a spot to order from. My head was saying sushi but my gut was saying tacos. On a Saturday night, parking lots fill up fast so I took my chances on this spot. Cute little spot! Prices were decent too. I ordered the carne asada fries and opted out of the guacamole (allergies), birria taco and a shrimp taco. I ordered everything to go as I was sitting a very nostalgic song came on. It was "Angel Baby" and let me tell you, this brought back so many memories for me. I low key wanted to cry. This place could take all my money after that. I'm very picky when it comes to my carne asada fries, but this place got it right. And they didn't skimp out on anything. Presentation was amazing and it was evenly dressed. Shrimp taco was even better! For the price you pay, it was worth it. I had to eat a little bit of it with a fork in order for me to close up the tortilla. The birria taco was a miss for me. If I had consome to go with it, I think I'd love it too. Overall this place is such a gem! And customer service was top notch! I wish for nothing but the best for this place. read more

It's hard to find a taco spot that has a simple menu, good flavor, and fire salsas. We tried the carne asada, Al pastor, and shrimp tacos and they were SO GOOD. Then we tried the Birria, that's the stand out dish here. It has that delicious homemade flavor and the meat was tender and perfection! Will definitely be coming back here again. read more

Mark the owner is super nice and a foodie!!! He knows what's up, no frozen, no processed, EVERYTHING cooked to order! Fresh, never frozen, meat purchased every 2 days and you can taste the difference! Food is beyond fresh and tasty. Surrounded by Asian restaurants, this place is the hot ticket! Give it a try. Close your eyes when you take your first bite and it transports you to the late night streets of Mexico... all so good and delicious! read more

Good food. We ordered two asada burritos to eat at the movies and the meat was so flavorful! The spicy green salsa was so good and perfect heat. Would come back again. read more

Huge burritos and pink tacos! Walk in and you're greeted by a beautiful interior. The customer service is top notch and everyone was very friendly. Ordered tacos and a burrito for taco Tuesday. Buy 2 get 1 free tacos! The burritos were stuffed with rice, beans, meat, cheese, cilantro and onions. They didn't skimp on any of the ingredients. I do feel like the Al pastor was a little too fatty and could have used a heavier char but it was still very tender and flavorful. The asada tacos were packed with huge chunks of meat and had a nice beefy flavor. Very tender as well. Overall, for the price, you get a great deal for a lot of food. I'll be back again soon! read more

First time here and I already can't wait to come back. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and personable. My partner and I each got the dinner plate which was of good value. The al pastor taco was my favorite. The chips and salsa were also very good. Very "instagrammable" aesthetic and plate presentation. read more

Had the pleasure of eating here recently and overall, it's decent! What I loved- friendly service, good portion sizes, fresh ingredients, great salsa. clean interior, everything was beautifully packaged and you can tell they want to give their customers an excellent experience. What could be better - unfortunately our food was hella bland, specifically the French fries (which also were very undercooked), the guac and the shrimp. The food just didn't have much flavor. And for reference, I do not like or eat salty, heavily seasoned food. So for me to say the meal was bland is a pretty big deal. This was very disappointing because we were so excited to dive into the beautiful looking food. Final word - This spot is new so surely they are just trying to get everything dialed in. Hopefully they are able to tweak the flavor a bit because that can take them over the top. read more

Got take out from here. The crunchy birria taco was still crunchy. The birria sauce inside did not make it soggy and is flavorful. Their menudo has lots of stomach pieces inside and is quite good. They even give you oregano on the side in case you need more. Street taco I feel carne asada wax a bit tough but the Al pastor was amazing! The red sauce is really spicy so be careful. The green sauce is quite good. Definitely can rival str8 taco which is near by. read more

The ordering process could have been clearer. There was one girl from the back who came up to help she was very polite, friendly, and helpful. I asked for a large cup of water and she said sure but gave me a small cup when asked for a larger cup I was told those were for the purchased drinks. As a business owner myself these small things add up if you have a paying customer what's a 1.00 cup? As for the food, I really hate to say this but these were the worst Tacos I EVER had. They looked delicious but we couldn't even finish them. The meat had NO SEASONING whatsoever. Just tasted like grease and beef. No flavor the only thing I could barely taste was the tortillas. I was so disappointed and a bit angry that I spent 30.00 to go into the trash. Some of the meat was overcooked and hard. I mean not even a sprinkle of salt. I am one of those people who hate throwing food in the trash I feel it's bad luck and I really struggled with throwing them away I struggled to try to force myself to finish the tacos but It was not going to happen. I even took them home and added my own seasoning but it made it worse cause the meat was just terrible. I hope that maybe my order was a fluke and a one-time occurrence. I hope they can stay in business and grow but if this is the standard that's not a good sign. read more

Never tried this place but had many tacos before... It was the greasiest tacos ever. Makes for a bad colon and record LDL Cholesterol day... The Carne Asada meat was dry and tasteless but the Pastor meat was actually great. The service was also very nice. For the cost of the food I would have expected it to be a bit better. Insane how greasy it was. Worse than taco trucks... read more
