    The onions I didn't ask for ..
    Alyshia B.

    First time coming here and it was so good ! I ordered the chicken burrito, cheese quesadilla, chips and horchata. The chicken burrito was delicious, it has fresh grilled chicken, yummy red rice and refried beans. The tortilla was also tasty . The only issue was that I asked for no onion and I got allot of small diced onions in my burrito that took me 10 minutes to fully get out my burrito.. which was annoying because I was starving and just wanted to eat . My son got the cheese quesadilla and told me it was really good . I was also happy that it wasn't oily like other places . The horchata was perfect . Not to sweet and not to watery. The chips were fresh. My husband ordered the asada burrito and it looked good . I wasn't able to take a photo of it because he ate it so fast . We didn't eat it at the location but they did have a few tables on the inside .

    I give my chicken California burrito a 8.5 out of 10 just a normal burrito. Salsas are good I liked both green salsas. I don't think it had rice or beans. Total was $13. Good for moval and close to the house. I prefer loco burrito on Sunnymead however but this place is closer! I will be back on a Tuesday for the taco deals. Very clean inside!

    I got the chicken burrito today, so good. They always have fresh salsa and their tacos are to die for so good

    Got the chicken burrito today, love it and they always have fresh salsa and the tacos are to die for so good and servers are very nice

    Menu (4/19/23)

    Taqueria La Faena is a solid Mexican food spot in Moreno Valley. The restaurant itself is relatively small with a few tables for seating. The menu has all the classics you would want from a Mexican restaurant and I would say it was slightly more affordable than other Mexican restaurants in the area. My family ordered the chicken burrito, Asada burrito, cheese quesadilla, and a side of tortilla chips. The burritos come with your meat of choice, refried beans, rice, cilantro, and diced-onion. The Asada burrito specifically was very good and the meat was flavorful and well cooked. I liked that instead of large chopped pieces on asada, it was minced into small pieces so the meat wasn't chewy. The server was nice but one issue we had was asking for no onions on one of the burritos. As the server took the order we asked a few times to ensure there were no onions in the burrito but unfortunately when we got home to eat there were still onions and we had to take our time picking out all of the chopped onions before we could eat. Food was good but still an annoyance that our request was forgotten. I tried all of the salsa available and although good, none were very spicy. Perfect for my family but I ended up using spicier salsa I had at the house. All in all, it's a solid choice when you're in the area and beats going to any of the chain fast food options. I would recommend checking it out!

    Micro Mini Taco for over $2.00

    They have fallen into pandemic mode ... I love this place BUT recently went for some tacos and it turns out that they nos serve Micro Mini Tacos! They used to be a decent size but now the ones I got were 1 biters. The flavor is still there but the size ... and the price is the same or maybe more I paid over $13 for 6! The new El Indio Tacos in Perris is delicious and around the same price ... I think I have a new taco place to replace you Check out the picture and the comparison on size

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.

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!

The fries are covered with a light layer of refried beans, a melty/stretchy (oaxaca?) cheese, sour cream, and guacamole. I usually also add some red salsa as well that you can grab from the self serve salsa bar. My wife got her food first, which I didn't mind, and half brutalized it before I could get a decent picture - oops. It was a carne asada quesadilla mini meal which was like $9 and change and came with a side of rice and beans and a drink included (she got a small watermelon agua fresca). And my friend ordered the weekend special, which was the Menudo soup with tripe meat in it (as traditionally served). Lemme start with the salsa bar. It has everything you'd ever want including unlimited chips and beans. The catch is you have to scoop the beans at an awkward angle under the sneeze guard in to your serving bowl - but hey...free is free, and my wife loves free! She also super enjoyed her carne asada quesadilla mini meal and thought it was a great value. Again, my carne asada fries were perfect as always. The cheese on top is so perfect, and one day I'm going to have to ask what kind it is. It's such a large portion and I need to get a box next time instead of housing the whole plate in one sitting. I'm way too full! Lastly, my friend gave me a taste of his menudo and I think it was the best I've ever had. I'm not a menudo aficionado by any means. I've only ever had it at families homes growing up and probably never ordered it in a restaurant. But I assumed the home cooked version was supposed to be the best (sorry grandma!). The broth was much thicker and deeper red and had more flavor than any other version I've had. The tripa was also more tender. Any connoisseurs out there, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong and throw out some other spots you feel might be better. But not until you come down and give it a try yourself! There's no way you can convince me it's not great.

We ordered our food to go, and unfortunately, neither meal was up to the quality we've come to expect. The carne asada in my husband's burrito was extremely dry, and the breading on my chile relleno was unusually thick, dry, and difficult to enjoy. My first thought was that the food may have been prepared earlier and reheated, especially since I placed my order about 30 minutes before closing. I called the restaurant afterward to share my concerns and spoke with Javier. I explained the issues with both meals, but the only explanation I received was that the chile rellenos come frozen. I was disappointed with the response, especially since I've had so many positive experiences here in the past. This is still one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the area, and I'm not writing this review to discourage people from eating here. I simply wanted to share my experience so others can avoid the same disappointment. Based on this visit, I would recommend avoiding takeout close to closing time--and I personally won't be ordering the chile relleno again.
