This small hole in the wal restaurant serves excellent authentic Mexican food. Mostly a take out spot due to them having only a handful of tables inside. That being said the staff is friendly and welcoming when eating in house. We got an order of guacamole, tacos and chicken mole, all of which was fabulous. The kicker was the home made tortillas which were to die for ! Will be coming back to try more of the menu.

Rest assured I am not a shill for this restaurant (and all the 4 & 5 star reviews are accurate), I'm just an ordinary guy who appreciates really well made food. This is not your typical local Tex/Mex restaurant by any means. I can honestly state that this is extremely authentic and perhaps the best Mexican food I've ever had! At this point there is no reason for me to patronize another Mexican restaurant in the area. I got the enchiladas verde (green sauce) last time with chicken this time with steak. The sauce was tangy and delicious, it's topped with fresh avocado and tomato with some kind of amazing cheese that does not overpower the dish. Any poor reviews like the guy who complained about his beef taco saying that he thought the cubed beef on his tacos was like Steak-Ums chopped up is just *dead wrong* or does not appreciate fine fare (the low reviews scattered in are obviously by some ignorant folk or people trying to hurt this amazing gem). The beef is cut into small cubes (which I love--not shredded) and the cubes are from real high-quality steak! The chicken was all delicious white meat. The tacos again are similar to the soft ones you find in Mexico in a good restaurant and served with a slice of lime and other amenities such as cilantro and sides of red and green sauces. I do not give out 5-star ratings often at all but this place is so amazing it deserves 5 full stars. Simply delicious and as I said, honestly, the best Mexican food I've eaten since I started eating Mexican food (about 40 years now!). It's not really a dine-in establishment as there is waitress service but just a small table or two--I don't care about this though. For food this good I am happy to do takeout. I suggest on a late Saturday afternoon you order there in person as they were too busy to answer the phone! It would seem many others agree with my assessment of this fare. The store front is clean and unassuming with limited parking in front of the restaurant and more nearby. The menu is quite varied and has many interesting non-typical dishes. I'm looking forward to trying many more and whatever you guys (the owners) are doing my hat is off to you for the truly exception dished you create!

Fantastic. If you're looking for legit, delicious tacos please look no further. Posting this after ordering twice in one week. 10/10 chorizo tacos (crispy and so flavorful) el pastor (perfect hint of pineapple) and carnitas (super tender and clean). Enchiladas verdes out of this world bright tasting. Nachos look exactly like the picture on the menu. It's all great. Plus the tacos come with grilled green onion? Amazing touch.

If you want some fresh and authentic Mexican food, this is your place to go to! Now, I have nothing against Tex-Mex food but places don't highlight that part when you get somewhere and this is by far one of the most authentic places Ive been to. The inside was very clean and the staff was very nice, polite, and everyone was following the current COVID-19 guidelines. I ordered a "Pancita" which is a Mexican stew that consists of tripe (pork or beef). The broth has a nice kick to it as its a bit spicy since its made from Chiles Guajillo and Chiles de Arbol (both are peppers). Not to mention the meat was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing! I loved the freshly cut cilantro, limes and onion to put in the soup rather than other places that pre-bag their stuff. Adding along to that, these handmade tortillas gave the order a very "at home" feeling. I definitely recommend this spot! I can't wait to come back and try the rest of their menu!

I really wanted to like this place and support a local business. I can say the server was very nice but now I know why it was empty on a saturday night. We ordered steak fajitas which were not steak, they were little squares of steakumm type beef with chopped bacon and cheese melted on top. I've been eating fajitas for decades and never in my life have they come with bacon and cheese. It was way too greasy and the bacon was chewy and rubbery. We got a cheese quesadilla which came in the shape of 3 cheese tacos standing up and the tortillas were deep fried, pale and spongy dripping with oil. The guacamole tasted good but had chunks too big to pick up on a small chip and we ended up leaving it uneaten. I could have made these better at home (and I have many times) I want to support local businesses but this one needs more work. This was the result of a very inexperienced fry cook. I cannot recommend this place at all.

If you're looking for real authentic Mexican food, look no further. Top three things I you need to try here are the Chicken Enchiladas (green sauce of course), tacos de carnitas, & the chicken camita. You won't regret it!

I don't know how people are giving this place bad reviews. This is the best authentic Mexican food I've had in a long time. I ordered enchiladas Rojas con bistec and it was soooo spicy and flavorful. I am so glad to finally find spicy good Mexican food around here. If people don't like the spice, or think their "customer service isn't good", go to one of the million other white people mexican places around here. I don't think my husband and I will be able to even try another Mexican place for a while... we will keep coming back here. I thought they were friendly, fast, decently priced, and delicious!

This is the only place we order from when we want Mexican food. No one else compares to la morenita. The food is always on time, hot, and the delivery guy is super friendly. The portions are huge and even my husband, who is a hearty eater, can get at least a second meal out of their portions. A while ago, we called them to order food (before they were on the delivery apps). The restaurant part was closed but they still took our order and drove the food to us. You really don't see this type of customer service anymore. They truly care about their customers and their service and food proves it. Order from here when you want the best Mexican food. If you already did and weren't pleased, try once more because every restaurant/cook has a bad day.

FOOD is delicious... and plentiful. But if you're doing catering for larger group.. that is outside the usual for them so it can be Co$tly! Best to order meals/per person. The staff is nice and helps you in best way they can. Their place allows sit down..very clean..but small. Id recommended simply for their delicious, authentic Mexican food... Tostadas ate AMAZING!!

Saw on google they had amazing reviews, and I typically order from the place right around the corner once a week but their wait is always over an hour so I figured I'd try something new. First off the women on the phone when I called was rude, I asked for huevos rancheros you'd think I asked for her to solve world hunger the way she responded and what I got was a soft shell taco with an egg on top swimming in the hottest salsa I've ever had and nothing else, no cheese, no ham, or anything just an egg swimming in green fire salsa. Beyond the spice the food was somehow still very very bland, rice and beans had zero flavor not even a pinch of salt, and to top it off the salsa tasted like tomato water and sugar. Very disappointed. Im not sure where all these glowing reviews came from I ended up throwing my food away after just a few bites.

This is a great family run authentic Mexican storefront restaurant. Very clean and seats 16 BUT does a big takeout business. We ate in and staff was helpful and friendly. Ok we started with Chicken Flautas that come with a huge mound of homemade Guacamole, which was amazing!!! Not too much onion or spice just perfectly executed. Kids had chicken enchiladas and We had spicy chicken taco and Enchiladas Cameron O de mole, which had some savory heat. Everything was well made and served with home made sauces. We will be back

Im going to make this short and sweet... STAY AWAY AT ALL COST!!! EVERYONE WHO GAVE A GOOD REVIEW ON THIS PLACE IS LYING!! I asked for mole poblano and they said there out of mole then I ask for beef with cebollines and nopales and they said they ran out of regular onions nopales and cebollines HOW ON EARTH DO TOU RUN A BUSINESS AND RUN OUT OF THESE KEY INGREDIENTS I AM SO PISSED OFF!!!!! also they are VERY EXPENSIVE!!!! I suggest going to Los Fuertes De Loreto down the street... there less expensive they don't run out of key ingredients and they have better food.

Wow! I pass this place all the time and decided to finally try it, and I'm so happy I did! Great family owned place, with made to order authentic Mexican food! I followed the advice of another review here and got the quesadilla. Great portion size and it tasted amazing! I will definitely be returning! You can dine in, get take out, and they deliver too!

Fantastic mom and pop Mexican food in downtown Hillsdale. I live in California and the carnitas and al pastor rival all the taquerias over there. You have to eat here.
