i don't know if you've ever had Yamaradas before it went out of business and became "El Arco" but i remember eating chorizo con huevo from yamaradas as a kid and being disappointed when i found out it closed because i don't like that plate from many other restaurants but im happy to say that La Morenita had nastalgia with every scoop with the tortilla, lone behold one of the owners (and or) cooks from yamaradas works at la morenita, if you haven't tried this spot i highly recommend

Delicious, it's a shame they don't accept cards. But other than that everything is

This spot is a gem hidden in Lincoln Heights. They have the option to sit inside or outside. I recommend sitting outside. The ambiance is so cozy and inviting. I went with both of my nephews, and although they're picky eaters, they enjoyed the food here. I ordered the Menudo, and I will say it was absolutely delicious. Not to mention the freshly hand-made tortillas! The taste was authentic, and the server was really perceptive to all our requests. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and craving REAL Mexican food.

Ordered the chilaqueles, it was mostly salsa and crushed up chips for $18.... Stingy. The food was okay but to charge that much for just a little bit of chilaquiles is wrong.

This very modest eatery has a high eatery owner who has maintained an "A" status and is constantly cleaning and rearranging her restaurant. Open 7 days a week closes around 2 p.m. daily.If you want fresh homemade cork tortillas, and a plethora of outstanding Mexican food check out La Morinitas. You'll never go anywhere else.

The service from the male gentleman was just awful getting our order incorrect offering chips & salsa n not bringing them, food damn near cold n he was not hospitable at all don't come check on us or ask if we need anything else. We sat at Table 9 12:00pm on 11/04/2023 never again will we come here. We usually tip but this dude awful service

I've driven by here the past few weeks and I've noticed it's been closed. Any word if they went out of business?
If I could I would leave 10 stars 1. The customer service is amazing. 2. The food is good and large portions 3. Reasonably priced.4. the ambiance is great 5. The owner makes sure the client is happy

Delicious!!!! I think that says it all. Also the picture of the plates that are almost,,,,, well one is empty. The other one is still kind of there.... Might give you an example how delicious everything is here. This really great restaurant is a local favorite of the people in Lincoln heights. The service is really great. They kept checking on us to make sure that we had everything we needed . Everyone that works here were very nice and made us feel comfortable and welcomed. The restaurant has some really great decorations. Their patio area is a nice place to chill out and eat comfortably.I totally recommend coming down and trying it for yourself. Now, this is just some thing that I learned from my father , whenever you go to a Mexican restaurant the first thing, you always try is the rice and the beans. My father would always start with those, and he would say If those are good, then you know the rest of the food will be really delicious. So ,,,, that being said , the rice and beans here are totally delicious !!! Now a little inside info.... The parking lot is located behind the building, there is a small alley right next to the large parking lot, so don't miss it. (Side note) the patio area is pet friendly, so if you got spot or Fido with you,,,, your good .

This little jam is on North Broadway in Lincoln heights, tucked away among the businesses on that block. The food is very well prepared generously portioned and delicious. I've only been here twice so far but now that I know about it I will be coming in more often. The inside is not so big probably for tables but they have a back patio with plenty of space for you to enjoy your food. Bring your patience as the food does take time to prepare as anything good it takes time to make. The owner and her husband are incredibly friendly and will bend over on your requests for you if you ask nicely. Bring your patience and don't forget the tip and have a great meal.
