IN THE CHIPS: Kicking things off, the Chips and Salsa are now $3.85 for an order, but they were worth the money - light and airy, and the salsa just barely had a hint of heat to it. Just perfect. (5/5) THE BEANS.. Perusing the menu, whatever plate you order, you can specify the kind of beans you want (black beans, pinto beans, refried beans). I chose the black beans, but specified "no cheese" on them in a semi-futile attempt to stay on the healthy side. =) SEAFOOD TACOS I decided on the Seafood Taco Platter, where you get one shrimp taco and a fish taco along with a big side of beans and lots of rice. Each taco comes with a double layer of corn tortillas with grilled shrimp, or fish topped by shredded cabbage drizzled with a lime aioli. Instead of deep fried, the shrimp and fish on each taco were grilled to perfection, instead of deep fried. The fish filet was diced and stir-fried with a wonderful aroma. Instead of making a mess, I decided just to eat my taco by slicing and dicing it from the plate. Super good! (5/5) One of my dining partners had the mole here a year ago and loved it, so now that he was back in town, he made this place a prime objective for his visit again to the Bay! Yeah.. I'd tend to agree.. Worth coming back.

The place could use a deep cleaning. It looks a bit outdated, but at the same time it looks like it's well frequented to, as well. Pickup was easy. The workers aren't very personable, which was fine since I picked up. I didn't have to leave a tip for service. Honestly, I don't remember how much I paid, but I don't remember feeling like it was too much, so I can't complain on that. I got two kinds: the cheese, chicharron and beans and the cheese and chicharron. Tbh, just the plain cheese and chicharron were my fave. They were absolutely delicious. Juicy, lots of filling, and scrumptious to the last bite. The layer of filling to that of the masa, was in my opinion, a good ratio. I will definitely go back for the pupusas and maybe try other things on their menu while I'm there.

(That's generally a good thing unless you're looking for full service.) if you're eating there and manage to find a table, be prepared to wipe it down yourself, because the staff is super busy taking and preparing orders. The staff was polite and helpful, the cashier providing guidance on menu options to us 1st timers. We ordered and paid for 2 "chicken fajita-type" plates. The orders come with salsa and a tiny bag of store-bought tortilla chips. (The cashier told me they would bring the food to our table, because we never would have heard them calling order #s from where we were seated.) This place seems well frequented by locals (it was lunchtime on a weekday). So, we waited a while for our order, so long that we decided we wanted to take it to go instead. However, when I went up to ask them to pack our food to go instead, one of our orders was in the pick up window. Turns out, they had been calling our order # AND they only made 1 plate, not the 2 we ordered and paid for. The helper was apologetic and quickly refunded the $ for the 2nd plate that never came. I packed the 1 order to go, and off we went. Although we won't go here again, fortunately for us, the food was decent, and the 1 order was enough for 2 people.

The staff is always incredibly friendly, the restaurant is clean with plenty of seating, and the food is consistently amazing. The tortillas are made in house, the salsas are the perfect finishing touch, and I genuinely haven't had a single thing on the menu that I didn't enjoy. The tamales are AMAZING. The fish tacos are perfect. And the beans? Chef's kiss. Honestly, even the sides deserve their own review. You can taste the time, care, and effort that goes into making everything from scratch, and the prices absolutely reflect the quality while still feeling very fair. This has become one of those places you don't just try once. You go back often. And we definitely do!

The meats on the tacos were tender and well seasoned. My favorite were the carnitas for their slight crisp. The salsas are spicy but have good flavor. I also love that they come with pickled veggies and radishes! Tamales have a good masa to filling ratio and aren't dry. I was surprised when I ordered the rajas con queso (green pepper with cheese) tamal and it had some red sauce inside. The chilaquiles were a solid breakfast choice too. I wish there was more service/interaction with the client. You pick up your food at the food counter and after you're done you buss your own plates. Parking is limited in their parking lot but there's plenty of street parking around the corner.

Yes, the prices have definitely increased, the quality has remained which is why we continue to pay. Our orders are always placed over the phone for pickup and accurate when received. The portions are insanely massive and serve as two meals for me. Rarely can I eat a single burrito in one sitting. It's a Shrimp burrito ($18.50) for me with black beans (and extra black beans to replace the rice) made Wet ($2.00) with verde (green) sauce. The shrimp are jumbo and plentiful with a piece included in almost every bite. My hubby's go to is a Super burrito ($15.00) with steak ($1.25) and black beans. You can add extra steak for an additional $1.25. The amount of steak already included is a lot. He finishes his entire burrito without looking to snack after. The restaurant itself is clean, well maintained and spacious inside with plenty of seating. I believe we ate there once on a whim. The service was fast, friendly and accurate. Even when we do phone orders for pickup the staff on the phone and in person are friendly. Taqueria Morena is in a shopping center (at the top to your left upon entering) so there is ample parking. It can get crowded, rarely, so front door parking is not always an optional. I definitely recommend Taqueria Morena. We bring family and friends to grab a bite when they are craving a burrito close to home. There is now the option of online ordering, service fees are included with your order so I've stuck with phone orders. Phone orders are ready in 10-15 minutes (usually) unless they are super busy. Our orders are ready when we arrive within the time provided for pickup. I'm so grateful we did not allow others experiences to influence our first try. We would have missed out.
