    Fish tacos- no flavor, would not recommend
    Elizabeth T.

    This review is for their fish tacos. I ordered for pick up and staff member on phone was pleasant but the food was not! The fish tacos were the most flavorless fish tacos I have ever had. They should take them off the menu and start over. My husband got the surf and turf tacos which were salty but overall tasted decent. The food looked but the looks were deceiving. This place is always packed and lively but for some reason the food has been a miss lately.

    Carne asada nachos the works..
    Corrine O.

    The food was so good. I had the chile relleno burrito. That was so cheesy I loved it. Fair prices too. Also shared nachos. Yummy! Found this gem on Yelp while passing thru the city. I will return to eat here again. Service was fine. You order at register then they bring your food to table. Light atmosphere with a small bar of liquor, beer & seltzers.

    Tacos ahogados- so delicious
    Liz M.

    The atmosphere is always fun! Usually some sort of sporting event is being broadcasted on their TVs. The staff is always helpful and super nice. They serve specialty beers (can you tell I am not a beer connoisseur ) but all I can say is there different types of micheladas are delicious. Now the food!! I have never been disappointed! Their heartbreaker (actually all) hotdogs are so good. The bun is what sets them apart. Its like having a hot dog in Mexicali. Follow their instagram so you can find out about their specials. So far when I try something... delicious. My go to though is the chile relleno burrito. Best in town.

    Sonora Grill is well-known throughout The IE. It's worth a visit if you're heading toward Vegas, Escondido, or Palm Springs. The bread and tortillas are house-made and the service is friendly & attentive serving the community. It's located in a typical Southern California strip mall with Lumpia and Pan Dulce only a few steps away. We had the Sonoran Dog with fries and Heartbreaker, which is a footlong bacon-wrapped 100% beef dog served with beans and pico de gallo on top. The beans are very delicious and the hot dog was tasty without being too salty. They also have outdoor seating and a belt for the line, so I'm certain the breakfast, lunch, and dinner rushes are consistent. They have an extensive beer list and a few seltzers, kombuchas, and hard ciders.

    It's really good

    The food and drinks are good I'm bringing my whole family next time The nachos were delicious

    Sonoran Hot Dog and California Burrito
    Jeremy S.

    Heard good things about this spot on social media and wanted to try something different than your standard Mexican restaurant so we gave this a try on a Saturday night! Got the Sonoran hot dog and the California burrito. The hot dog was pretty good, the toppings were tasty and blended well with the hot dog. The sausage was grilled pretty well, I thought the bun itself was just okay. It could have been toasted better. Felt like it was good but was just missing something to make the dish stand out more. The burrito on the other hand was amazing. One of the best I've had from anywhere. We got carne asada in the burrito and it was top notch. Cooked really well and blended perfectly with the rest of the burrito. I was really impressed! Service was good here as well and gave us some solid recs, The restaurant is nice with plenty of TVs playing sports and was very clean. The plaza it's in is a bit underwhelming but overall not terrible. Overall, had a good dinner here and really want to try some of their other dishes!

    Brewery X Huckleberry Seltzer at 5%   Refreshing and lots of huckleberry flavor. Love this.
    Jorge M.

    Very clean place, surprising a large selection of local brewery beers and their own selection. In addition, delicious menu of Mexican food to enjoy. A bright spot in Moreno Valley.

    Seriously, who wraps a burrito in bacon. Hilarious. So good. Sauces are good too.
    Eric R.

    Good food- excellent service. Loved the experience overall. I loved the atmosphere. I got nachos, and most everyone else got burritos. The burritos are obnoxiously large. The bacon wrapped one my friend got looked so unique.

    Bacon wrapped El Chapo burrito super filling!
    Annie M.

    This place screams football season! A must visit and such a great selection of food! Loved the surf and turf nachos a must try! Huge portions the Nachos come out in a tray definitely for 2! Brunch vibes chilaquiles with a cold beer or a yummy iced cafe de la Hoya on a Sunday. Perfection on a Sunday! Lots of TVs and games are all on. 10/10 this place never misses!

    Super Nachos
    Dominique Z.

    Always tasty! Super fresh and hot authentic Mexican food. Loved the portions. The staff is really friendly & helpful too. Gotta love the cantina vibes also.

    1 star : Service was really good 1 star : clean establishment 1 star : friendly environment 1 star: price The food was mediocre.. I ended up throwing 1/2 away. It lacked flavor unfortunately. I got the loaded fries. However my Mail said the chicken salad was bomb. All in all I'd probably go back

    Cali Style Heartbreaker Hot Dog
    Alyssa R.

    CAFE DE OLLA IS MY GO TO!! The hot dog was amazing the breakfast was okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

    The classic burrito.
    Erik B.

    Do yourself a favor and stop here for the flavor. I ordered the classic burrito with Asada and it was incredibly flavorful. The portions are big and the hot salsa they have delivers a perfect amount of heat and great flavor. It's one of the best burritos I've ever had.

    Ask the Community - Sonora Grill

    Do they use lard in their beans?

    EVERY self respecting Mexican restaurant uses Manteca (lard) in their beans!!

    Does Sonora Grill serve gluten free food?

    Not really. Corn tortillas are only available on Tuesday.

    Do they have happy hour?

    No they don't but I still highly recommend. Carne asada super fries are the best and HUGE. Feeds 2 easily I'm a big guy and I could not finish.

    Are there Taco Tuesday specials here?

    Yes, dollar tacos but on select meat.

    What is the average cost of a meal for two people minus alcohol?

    Usually less than $20, although the larger items on the menu (El Chapo, The Heartbreaker) can cost more.

    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.

The small family-owned restaurant in a lazy strip mall in Moreno Valley provided some of the most amazing Mexican food in Southern California. We visited midday on Sunday and the place was only about a third full, with plenty of indoor seating in booths and tables. You order at the counter and the friendly young woman guides you through the menu prominently featured on the wall. So many different options. For our group, we went with the King Burrito, the Carne Asada Torta and the Beef Taco and Enchilada Plate. Within 10 minutes, the nice young woman who took our order, came by with our drinks and shortly thereafter, our orders. The King Burrito I order was HUGE. Covered with an amazingly delicious salsa verde (mole or dry options also available), this 10-plus inch burrito was packed with Shrimp, Carne Asada, Home Potatoes, Mexican Guacamole, Chipotle Sauce & Cheese. Also came with a side of Sour Cream. Seriously, one of the best tasting burritos I have experienced, there is so much flavor with the surf and turf combination, that will make your tastebuds delight, and feel a little bit of heat in the process. My girlfriend's Carne Asada Torta was also delicious. She let me have a few bites and the meat was seasoned and cooked to perfection, just like it was in my King Burrito. The sandwich was also quite large had plenty of stacked ingredients to offer. Overall, the quality and portions of the food here at Los Reyes are amazing. You get tons of value and huge portions to boot. The staff is super friendly and the restaurant (and restrooms) and clean and welcoming. Plenty of parking in front, with lots of space inside. There is also a large TV featuring sports (football on Sundays, soccer other days) for your enjoyment. Come check out this family-owned restaurant in Moreno Valley.

She probably should have sent it back, but since we were in a hurry, we didn't bother. On the positive side, my daughter had the carne asada burrito, and she said it was excellent. Service started off great with our younger male waiter being very attentive at first, but it slowed down significantly as our meal went on. By the end of our visit, I actually had to go up to the register to ask to pay. It was lunch time, and it wasn't that busy, so this felt a bit out of the ordinary. Despite the hiccups, I'm willing to give Morena's Mexican Cuisine another try, as it may have just been an off day. The chips and salsa, along with my daughter's burrito, showed that they definitely have what it takes to impress. I'll reserve final judgment after my next visit!

Before placing my order, I called the restaurant to make sure I was ordering enough food for 11 people.

When I called back, another employee put me on hold and eventually assured me that the amount I ordered would be more than enough to feed 11 people. That advice was completely wrong. When the food arrived, there was barely enough to feed two people. It was embarrassing and unprofessional, especially since this was a business event. I was forced to leave and purchase additional food from another restaurant at the last minute. I immediately called the restaurant to explain what had happened. Once again, the person who answered did not speak enough English to understand my concerns and placed me on hold. I eventually hung up and tried calling back several times, but the phone remained busy. I then drove to the restaurant in person because I wanted to give them the opportunity to explain what happened and make things right. After waiting quite a while, a gentleman finally came out, apologized, and said he would pass my information along to his boss. I never had the opportunity to speak with a manager or owner, and no one made any effort to resolve the situation or follow up with me. This wasn't just a mistake with an order--it was a complete failure in customer service, communication, and accountability. I gave this restaurant every opportunity to address the issue, and they failed at every step. I will never use Taqueria 2 Potrillos again for business catering, work lunches, or personal orders, and I cannot recommend them based on my experience.

But other spots in the area are starting to pull ahead because they get both the flavor and the execution right. Hopefully they fix this because the potential is definitely there.
