"I first visited this restaurant when I arrived in Auburn around 2020, and initially, it didn't meet my expectations. However, my recent visit was a pleasant surprise! The food has vastly improved, with outstanding flavors and expertly crafted, handmade tortillas. I'm not sure if there's a new chef or management, but whatever changes have been made, they are working wonders. This place now offers some of the best street tacos in the area. I give it 5 stars for the remarkable improvements in both service and food quality."
Everything was really good. My only complaint, the "steak bits" are too small to cook rare. I tried their salsa verde, margaritas, and quesadilla, all was delicious. Service was fantastic!

This was my second time going and the food didn't disappoint again! I am picky and always get the #47 which is a Chicken and rice dish with queso on top. They have Daily Specials! They will also let you know if what you ordered has a special on the day you come in. Very friendly, Attentive, Beautiful decor and spots to take pictures! This place is small in size but really makes up for it with food, presentation/decor, and service! The prices are affordable as well! Two people can definitely eat for $40 or less!
Enjoyed a meal at La Morenita only to find that they charged gratuity on our party of 3. We mentioned this to the waiter and manager. We were told "sorry the computer adds it" and there was nothing they could do. I've been in this area 17 years and never encountered this. Very disappointed and will not go back. Check your receipts. I can get better tacos and margaritas elsewhere.

I was very disappointed in my last experience here. I took my partner to get margaritas. We got a tower for $25 because it was happy hour - a great deal! We both ordered street tacos and they were very disappointing. The tortillas were flour (we ordered corn) and the meat was completely unseasoned. Our server came to our table to ask if we were okay literally every 5 minutes for the entire stay. I appreciated the effort but it was very annoying when we were trying to have drinks and were constantly interrupted.
