I love this place, We used to go there twice or even 3 times a week when it was the middle eastern restaurant. Then it changed to just simple comfort food, then now it is Morralito. I went back for the first time in years with my family, and was VERY HAPPILY SURPRISED. Don't expect a fine dinning experience.. But, I love the atmosphere, the open air, the quality and value of the food, the service and the kindness of the servers as well as the managers. The whole family enjoyed the food and the time there. I will go back again and again.. I think with a very small upgrade to the tabke settings and possibly table covers, this place will jump to a different level and will deserve 6 stars. See you soon. read more

First time here definitely won't be the last since I live up the street. My wife and I ordered takeout and it was ready really quickly the food was really good and price is totally reasonable. If you used to go to duffers you'll be blown away by the renovation the place is clean and feels way bigger than it used to. I can't wait for them to get their liquor license this is going to be a great place to watch the game. If you're in area stop by and get some food you won't be disappointed. read more

Morralito Mexican Grill - The Bar - Mexican Near Me - Duarte, California

I've been meaning to stop in since they moved to the golf course. It was a nice sunny day and nice to sit outside. The service is impeccable!! The drinks are pretty decent, but the food not so much. They give you nice big portions and the plating is nice, but I don't think they use salt on anything. The food was pretty bland. But I did stop in there on Friday night to check out karaoke and it was packed. I will go back in a Friday to check them out. I will give 4 stars because the service was so good. read more

OPEN! Yes, this is the Morralito that had to close in January of 2025 . Late December of '25 abd they are back!!!They found this location at the Rancho Duarte Golf Course! The menu is exactly the same. Many of the decorations are familiar. The quality of the food and drinks is better! This is now our 5th visit since opening night. Service is great, even with an occasional hiccup due to getting used to the layout. There is a wonderful outdoor patio with heaters. We were here at night recently and the heaters worked fine. Today was an afternoon lunch with a group of 7 with a wonder ful view of the San Gabriel Mountains and the tee for hole one and the 9th green. read more

Not God got there at 945 am order chilli Verde they had no rice did not get a discount was there twice ng

I reserved the patio for our Women's Rugby Club's post-match social, and the service, food, and drinks couldn't have been better. We have used this space consistently during past seasons when it was Duffers, however this restaurant is now top-notch food and service! Very accommodating for our large party of 40+ on the patio. Will be coming back throughout our rugby season for sure! read more

Morralito Mexican Grill - The service setup was great. - Mexican Near Me - Duarte, California

I have a matter with this restaurant, I booked a party to be hold at the other location for February 14, 2026. In January 2026 When I called to complete my payment, I discovered they moved out location without letting me know they weren't able to host my party. Since then I've been trying to contact the manager or the owner to request the deposit I made, unfortunately every time I call none of them are there, and the only response I get is that they will give the massage to contact me back, I already went to the restaurant 2 times without any opportunity to speak to any of them because they weren't there at the time as well. Please to the owner or the manager of Morralito grill if you read this contact me back I really like to solve this issue. read more

Checked this place out on a rainy evening. We ordered posole, flautas, chile relleno, and guacamole.The posole was fave dish of the night. We also ordered a side of chile relleno, and for $5, it couldn't be beat. I'd order takeout just for the chile relleno. The guacamole was a little too expensive in my opinion, and it tasted like it had a powdered mix in it. They also give you free chips and salsa while you wait for your food. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, and a true mom and pop business. read more

Morralito Mexican Grill - Chile Relleno - Mexican Near Me - Duarte, California

My husband and I ate here a few Saturdays ago around 5pm. It wasn't busy and we were seated right away inside. There were TVs everywhere playing the soccer game and the horse races. There's also a large outdoor seating area out back under a tent. There's a free parking lot back there, too. FYI, if you use a wheelchair or have a stroller like we did, you'll have to use the sidewalk to enter through the front of the building because to go in through the back, there are a few stairs you have to go down. Our server was very attentive and nice. This is one of those places where the servers tag team the tables, so we were constantly being checked on and having our drinks refilled, which I appreciated. Look at the beautiful drink in my pics! It's a frozen mango margarita and it tasted just as delicious as it looked. Loved the added jalapeño slices and the candy stick in it. My husband loved his, too. I got the chicken enchilada meal and loved it. The chicken was juicy and I liked the sauce. The portion to price ratio at this spot is on point. We have been loyal Cabrera's fans for years, but have had a string of bad experiences there, so we wanted to try another Mexican spot in the area. The two spots are not even a mile apart. Not only is this place cheaper, but its food is more authentic and the service is MUCH better. We'll definitely return to this spot over Cabrera's in the future when craving Mexican food. read more

I went in on a Monday to watch football. Note! This plate is GIANT- can be shared. I ate the salad and steak and I was full. Delicious for sure! Best salsa. Steak was a bit too done for me but the flavor was excellent. Not sure if I rubbed the waiter wrong though. He was friendly with everyone but me. I had a long day sitting in my husband's room at City of Hope. Felt good to relax. I tried to joke with him, nada... anyway, maybe he was having a bad day. read more

Wife and I come here regularly...maybe every few weeks. The Cadillac margaritas is what initially hooked us. Feel they have been the best made here so far that we have had. As for the food, we have not been disappointed. She says the ceviche taste fresh here. I tend to try different items and have been pleased so far. The service is very good here. It's not usually just your one server helping you. The other staff also tends to stop by and check on you as well. Something that other places should do. When we've been here late, we haven't felt rushed to finish. read more

The food is very good... I just started coming here and the food has been fresh and hot every time. The enchiladas were cooked with a very mild red sauce. The rice had lots of flavor and was not over cooked or under cooked. It was very flavorful. The waiters are always helpful. Sometimes they have music. Very spacious and will be coming back more! read more

We went to lunch with family the other day, as this is near their house. It was an ok place to get a meal. Service was a little slow but very friendly. The drinks were strong and the food was decent. I had a Tostada Grande con Pollo (essentially a tostada salad in the shell rather than on a flat tostada). It didn't have much flavor so I asked for the hot salsa, which was not that hot. I actually wanted Tapatio or Chalula but they didn't have any. My husband said his beef enchiladas were good and everyone else seemed to enjoy their food. Like I said, it was fine, just not anything special or super memorable. read more

We did a Uber eats order and we're extremely disappointed. Ordered a large posole there was NO hominy a few chunks of meat and just juice. It was packaged in a plastic to go container like where you would package a burrito or something else not a soup usually restaurants use the tall Styrofoam containers. We also ordered tacos and wrote specific notes only meat and cheese and of course it had EVERYTHING on them especially onions and we dislike onions. Finally my son's nachos were soggy and just a mess. What we got for a $80.00 order was a joke. read more

Went on Monday the 27th of November 2023. The place was outstanding on every level. Modelo Negro Beer was ice cold. I ordered the shrimp tostada with sour cream and avocado. Delicious. My wife had a combination plate with a chicken taco and a beef enchilada. Also very good. Our waiter Gustavo was very nice and helpful. I cant wait to go back. read more

Food is mediocre at best. Kind of old and dingy Asada, forget it. Rubber and grissle. Cold in the middle, burrito. Always slow, tells you something right there. Waiters are not great. Ambiance, zero stars unless you like drywall. How do they survive? read more

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this establishment. I will advise you to ignore the comments below that are attempting to paint a negative and false impression of this restaurant and its service. I have been eating here for many years! It is our Friday night spot! The place we go for birthday celebrations and also a place we bring our whole team to! The service is great! The chips and salsa keep coming while we enjoy the best Cadillac Margarita in Town. My husband LOVES the Carnitas plate! My latest favorite is the combo, the chicken enchilada with the Chile Relleno. It is a shame when you see a bitter customer try to ruin the reputation of a great family establishment. Lets keep these places alive and avoid the big chains taking over! Give grace to our restaurants and their employees. read more

I have been going to Morralitos, Inc. since they opened their doors. This is a good family business. The food has always been very good. The service is always pleasant and I guess it's kind of like Cheers where they get to know your name. You walk in there and you always seem to see regulars. It is always a very pleasant experience. I don't drink so I can't tell you about the drinks, but everyone seems to enjoy them. priced well. read more

We live near this place and love it so much we go once a week if we can. Run by a wonderful family that makes you feel very welcome. Delicious chips and salsa to start and hearty portions of comfort Mexican food. Lots of screens to watch but my five year old still feels really welcome and asks to go back. Can't ask for anymore as a mom who doesn't feel like cooking after a long day! read more

Awesome SERVICE!!!, food and ambiance!. Excellent traditional mexican food. Definitely recommended for family outings.

Food wasn't that great. We went on a Sunday evening and it wasn't busy at all. Booth tables are a little too tight. Inside the restaurant looks nice. They were playing good music. Waiter was friendly and kind. But the service was a bit slow for not being busy )I would say there was one table of like 6 people and a both of 4 people. Not busy at all. One of food took quite a bit to come out. I ordered the fajita shrimps. And to be honest I think it was microwaved, only the out side of the dish was hot and towards the middle of the dish my shrimp was semi warm. Other than that it was ok. I don't think we would go back for the food. Waiters were the only thing that made the restaurant good. The food wasn't authentic Mexican food. read more

Great place to come and eat and hang out with friends...u will have a hard time choosing what to eat because the entire menu is good ...

This is a family owned business that takes the time to get to know their customers They also have a large room that you can have parties We had an event this last Sunday there and everything was perfect. The Service was just so and the food was great. Most importantly, the margaritas are wonderful. read more

Everything was perfect here! Thank you for the great service and food I'm definitely coming back!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Remember to place all items in the take out bag! Especially Chips and Salsa! I'm still bugged by this. I specifically asked over the phone if they provide chips and salsa and I got an immediate YEA! Why did we get home and no chips and salsa?! Ugh. Annoying because it's Super simple! The restaurant was empty so I assume they were not too busy to remember? Don't know. This was our first time trying this restaurant. The food was good but leaving a main part of the meal out means that I'm out. Was hoping to find my new local Mexican restaurant. read more
