Reviews For La Morena Restaurant & Cantina

Here's a refined version of your review: --- I walked in on a Wednesday, and the place wasn't busy. I wasn’t expecting a crowd, but it was quieter than I anticipated, which initially made me a bit concerned about the quality. However, I was completely blown away by the service and the food. I ordered a combo plate, arrachera tacos, and frozen margaritas. The food was excellent! I'm very picky when it comes to Mexican food, but this was authentic and delicious. As for the margaritas, I wasn’t expecting much since they were blended to order, but they were perfect—smooth and not overly blended. The atmosphere was calm and quiet, but they had plenty of TVs, so we got to watch the game. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot!

Great service. Mexican food buffet had a great variety of freshly cooked dishes. Horchata was delicious and sweet. Able to taste cinnamon and the rice water was still creamy not watered down.

I moved to the east side in January and found this place in May and since that day it has become part of our Sunday routine. We will not miss the Buffet 9-2 Sundays. I thought it was amazing before but recently they added the mini pancakes and my mind is just blown how awesome these are guys.

My husband and I LOVE this place and have become regulars. The service is always excellent and friendly. The food is delicious each time, the only issue we have is we wish they were open every day of the week! We highly recommend this restaurant!

I have been coming to La Morena when it was called La Terraza on Montwood. Love the food and Love the service. Rick who has passed away and Lupita are the best servers.
