    Very friendly gave a 10% military discount, they have drive-thru Windows as well as walk-in. Prices are very reasonable and they were very personable. The place was clean inside. Food is authentic and very tasty! Open 7 days a week till 9pm, Sunday at 8pm.

    This honestly is one of my favorite places to get tacos from! The staff is very friendly as well, I usually like to call ahead but they are always worth the wait! I can't handle the hot sauce so if you are like me always ask for the salsa on the side!

    Carne Asada tacos!

    I love this guy and his Carne Asada Tacos!! I try to go at least once a week to get my taco fix in. The meat is so flavorful - One day I am going successfully to talk him into giving me his secret salsa / spices recipe he uses. The people here are so friendly and the food is amazing- by far my favorite taco truck in Idaho Falls! Very authentic and mmm mmm good!

    One of my favorite taco place! Don't let the food truck vibe scare you away. Don't forget to get the hot salsa with their tacos.

    We've eaten here for years now. It's our fave for Mexican food in I.F.!…read more Morenita's is a small & simple place -- but don't let that deter you. They ROCK IT for authentic Mexican food! And they have the Mexican ladies in the kitchen to prove it IS the real deal. (Be sure to tell them "¡Gracias!" when you pick up your food at the high-counter pickup window. Even tho' you can't see them, they can usually hear you! Makes their day. Better still, drop 'em a tip when you pay - they really appreciate it.) Morenita's TACOS are the best in town! They have the house-cooked meat of your choice. Be ready to state your meat pref. at the register. They will ask for your choice. (See my attached MENU PICS for Meat Options.) Most TACOS are made with a larger-sized, white corn tortilla - that oddly but wonderfully tastes like a mix of corn and flour! SO good! (Their "STREET TACO is smaller.) TYPES OF TACOS: Not sure what kind of taco to get? * CHUCHE: Opt for the CHUCHE TACO if you don't need a lot of fanfare (extra toppings), and you like a crisp cabbage crunch in every bite, + some melted cheesy goodness. * RANCHERO: If you DO like all the fixin's - including (a few/not too much) WHOLE beans, pico, onion, tomato, cilantro, avocado, sour cream + a little kick of jalapeño - the TACO RANCHERO is my first-choice fave! * SUPREME: If you like all that same stuff (w/ your choice of meat) - but prefer REFRIED beans and NO jalapeños - go for the TACO SUPREME. OTHER ITEMS: PIZOPE: If you're really hungry, the PIZOPE has similar toppings as a taco, but is a LOT more food! (And cheese.) The PIZOPE is super filling, and great for 2 to share if you don't have big appetites. NACHOS: The SUPER NACHOS are a big win for a family or group 'cuz they're so easily shared - and are just a HUGE pile of delish! (While I HAVE seen a hungry teenage boy or two eat them ALL before, it's rare for most people to finish a plate alone!) About their MEAT CHOICES: * You can never go wrong with their tender BARBACOA (shredded BEEF). There is a 50c or $1 upcharge for that on most dishes. * CARNITAS (shredded PORK) is a popular, delish meat choice, with no upcharge. * I personally find the grilled steak, CARNE ASADA, to be rather dry and gristly for my own pref. But others seem to like it. No upcharge. * If you're feeling adventurous, you must try the BEEF CHEEK as a meat choice! It is super tender & full of flavor! Upcharge applies (50c for tacos, $1 for burritos, as examples.) * FISH (Tilapia) currently (Jan. 2026) has a high cost for substituting as a meat choice. But there is no upcharge for a FISH TACO, as far as I know. HOW THE PLACE ROLLS: * At Morenita's you pay upon ordering, so no tip is required. (But I personally think the sweet older ladies who bus the tables as fast as they can keep up - and work SO hard to keep the restaurant clean, even when the line goes out the door at times - are very deserving of even a minimal or modest tip.) * After you order you will seat yourself at a booth or a table. Be aware that it's a very small place, so seating is "cozy" - so if it's a busy time, you will sit quite close to others. (At the busiest times you may need to take your meal To Go.) * You will listen for your ticket #, found in a black box near top of the receipt. That # will be called out in English and Spanish from the cash register area. TIP: Ask your phone how to say that number in Spanish. (As a Spanish teacher/translator, I hear it better in Spanish than I do in English now, haha!) * When done eating, you clear your own table. Use the trash cans at the back, or at the front by the main door. (Don't throw away their plates or silverware!) If you do not bus it, then please, kindly leave a cash tip for the ladies who bus it for you. * SAUCES IN THE MINI-FRIDGE! Stop at the fridge in the back to grab a couple bottles of SAUCE! Just be sure to put them back when you're done with 'em! And if it's really busy, sauce up at your table and run them back, asap. Our faves: * CHIPOTLE SAUCE (light orange) = mild & creamy * GREEN SAUCE w/ SEEDS = medium PARTING WORDS OF WISDOM: Common courtesy prevails at a cozy, often busy little place like Morenita's! From the parking lot to table clean-up, we can make the dining experience of others better by being helpful, patient, kind, and friendly. We can make someone's day better. This is America, and it's Idaho! May we each be the good example of civility and kindness we ought to be. Let's treat others who may be strangers to us, like friends and family. 'Strangers' are friends we just don't know yet. And we can also show appreciation for the hard workers in our great town who provide a clean place to eat, and a warm, delicious meal when we want it. A little kindness ALWAYS goes a long way.

    The food, while presented as authentic, is easily catered to americanized taste buds. I had the…read morebreakfast burrito without potatoes. That's one thing I don't like about Mexican food breakfast burritos--to much potato, but they fixed it up, added extra egg and cheese to fill up the massive tortilla without extra charge. I got it smothered in cheese and green sauce, omgosh it was sooo tasty, and the relleno is one of the better ones in Idaho falls. Honestly, it's hard to go wrong with green chille & cheese, but some manage to. Morenitas smothers their's in a tasty red sauce. They have a wide variety of drinks, and wide selection of beers( pretty sure all bottled) the service, there was no communication gap. It was high energy, talkative, helpful, and she seemed genuinely happy to be there--nice change. They give you a buzzer to come pick up your food. They are pretty busy, and keep costs down by not running it out to your table, but the dining room is not very big, with multiple bench tables big enough to seat like 5. Anyway, grabbing the food is worth the "taste." The atmo, well not horrible, but a little tooo..shared, cafeteria like...it was ok, i could hear who was with me (she gave 5 stars) but it was bright and open .. didn't feel like a place to kick back and enjoy this great food. If I could, id have given 4.5 stars... But atmo and..oh yeah, I'm not sure if this is all day, but when i asked for coffee, which was on the menu, all they had was instant, that's just...no thanx lol, but 4 stars, with a 5 star lean?

    It was very authentic food especially when considering that the menu is only in Spanish and just…read moreone person working there spoke English. The food was a bit hit or miss. The Quessabirria looked amazing but only tasted of grease which dripped freely all over everything. The carne asada burrito was ok. The meat didn't really stand out and it only tasted of beans, lettuce and sour cream. The two things that were good were the two pork taco options. The pork carnitas had the most amazing texture I've ever been lucky to try. It was moist and crunchy from the flat top. It is definitely worth giving this meat choice a try in anything they have. The true star though was the Adobada tacos. They were amazing. There was tons of meat with so much flavor. These were the best Adobada I've ever had anywhere. I think the highs were very high but the lows were just as low. They have decent salsas but if you can't take a good bit of heat you won't be able to handle even the weakest one. Definitely worth checking out.

    This Mexican place is 100% authentic! The tacos were so simple yet so flavorful. My favorite was…read morethe chorizo which has a nice char to the meat. They also have three salsa to enjoy. The habanero was nice but my favorite was the red salsa that was Smokey and hot. The menu was very simple and it was quick to order. If you do come around lunch time expect to wait a bit as it gets very busy around then.

My second glass of wine was much better. Staff would do well to check the wine glasses before they put anything in them. Their chips and salsa were generous, good, but nothing to write home about. I also ordered their shrimp Enchiladas with green sauce and that was the best thing of the evening. The green sauce was tasty without being overpoweringly spicy and the shrimp was cooked well and not overdone. Portion was generous in the rice and beans were tasty. The rest of my party all enjoyed their meals and so I would guess that any issues I may have had were a result of being busy and possibly slightly understaffed. Overall, this was a good experience, and I would definitely return! They have a great crowd for the jazz night, and I think it's fantastic that they are having this kind of entertainment in a small town.
