This place is 🔥 🔥 Coming from a chef that is very picky when it comes to Mexican food especially chilaquiles I have to say DELICIOUS 😋 and wait till you try the cafe de olla OMG takes me back to my beautiful mother land and the service makes the expensive 10 times better will definitely be coming back to try dinner.
Fantastic food! Great service! Finally stopped in here when we couldn't find any parking at Bella Terra. Great parking here with nice outside patio and plenty of room inside. Friendly staff! We ordered Enchiladas Verde, Carnitas Taco and Chicken Quesadilla. All were delicious and good size portions. Great chips and salsa and margaritas too. We will be back!
Absolutely delicious! The service was great the restaurant was extremely clean and nicely decorated, The servers were super friendly! The food is great, cooked to perfection and the presentation is very nice. I give this place 5 stars because everything was perfect. From the clean bathrooms to the outstanding service to the great food!
The food was delicious as well as the margaritas! I had the jalapeño margarita & my husband had the Cadillac one...they were so good & did not skimp on the tequila. The service was phenomenal; never had to ask for more chips, salsa, water, napkins - the staff was on it! Will definitely be back!
Stopped by for dinner after a long drive from AZ, not too busy as it was a Wednesday evening, promptly greeted and seated. Nice atmosphere and super attentive service. My wife ordered a mango margarita and the combo platter (enchilada & taco) and for myself, a wet carnitas burrito and beer. Food was terrific, burrito was perfect with a delicious green sauce on top, even the chips and salsa were exceptional. Additionally the service was great, didn't have to ask for anything and they treated us like locals despite this being our first visit. Highly recommend for anyone wanting delicious Mexican food in Huntington Beach!
My only favorite spot for Mexican in HB. Sadly, HB is not overflowing with quality Mexican food- so glad I tried Morenas because the flavors are on point. I ordered the Enchilada de Camaron but I am allergic to shrimp so I substituted with steak. Everything tasted fresh and not one hint of “opened from a can.” The steak was so tender and melted in my mouth. The chef recommended a few twists to the menu I should try and I’m looking forward to other delightful pleasures my tastebuds will be able to enjoy then! Waiter was exceptionally accommodating and kind. The atmosphere was relaxed, good music. I like the ambiance and decor- modern and balanced. Definitely worth a try if you like good Mexican cuisine!
As far as Orange County goes Morena's has been the greatest & well tasting goes, sorry first goes to me 😒 Was looking for a breakfast spot after some errands, passed by what we thought was the old Sunny's joint, saw the crowded dining area & decided to bust a youie & went in. Staff is on top of their game 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Can not wait to try more on their menu 🤌🏽🤌🏽
This was our second time coming here and it was just as good, if not better than our first time. The service, quallty of food, portions, and overall atmosphere were great. We ordered the Morena's platter and split that two ways. It was definitely more than enough and I'd highly recommend this place to anyone.
First time here and all I can say is wow!!! Services was amazing and very attentive. The food was great, the carne asada on the nachos was a must! But the drinks… the mojitos were the best! Had a pineapple and a strawberry mojito and they were so yummy! We will be back and you should go to!!!
We found this place through our neighbor, it is now one of our favorite places. Great food, great service, the drinks are to die for. Their organic margaritas are made with fresh ingredients. They have live music Monday, Wednesday and Sundays. Their taco Tuesday tacos are made with fresh tortillas. They have a nice patio. We are going to invite some friends and try their Sunday brunch. Paco the bartender is the best!
We visited Morena's Mexican Cuisine today while in Huntington Beach, CA and the experience was exceptional! What an awesome experience from the door. Our server Hurley was very pleasant, professional, food knowledgeable, and gave us a wealth of information regarding what to do in the area. In addition, the food was very plentifuI, and reasonablely priced. We had the Taco Del Cabo, and Lobster Enchiladas, and the food was simply delicious, delicious, "YES truly delicious." And when we finished eating, we were given Flan for desert, and it was absolutely amazing as well! This restaurant is truly a "GEM." If your in the Huntington Beach area, and in the mood for authentic Mexican Cuisine, head over to "Morena's Mexican Cuisine." You will not be disappointed!
This place is amazing. Ana is friendly and helpful, provided great suggestions. Our food was delicious, I had carnitas, my friend had enchiladas. The ambiance was great too; the music not too loud and they played great music I must admit. And the desserts… Yum my friend and I shared the churros and she took home the flan which she raved about; definitely will be back! (Riverside location)
Great food and my lovely wife enjoyed her margarita as well. Brought my wife her for my birthday and we enjoyed good food and great service. So glad it was recommended to me. Well worth checking it out. -- Took my wife there again the other day and i had carnitas, she had two taco plate and a margarita. I cannot complain because my wife was happy and the food tasted good. It can be a bit loud, but you also get great service here, so its stoll a great option
I was there twice so far. It's across the street from our apartment building. I just had my birthday dinner here. The music is great. It's one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been too. The food is excellent! The drinks are delicious and they make you feel really special for your birthday. Thank you Morena's! 💋❤️
I have been to this restaurant a few times and I love it. The staff is always friendly, and I like how their food taste so homemade and delicious. Their salsa is my favorite out of any Mexican restaurant I’ve tried. I have also tried their pollo a la plancha (grilled chicken). It is so healthy. Just chicken, rice, beans and a salad. Today I ordered the Carne Asada and shrimp. I was a little hesitant at the beginning because of the price, but it was actually a lot of food and the quality of the food was 10/10. The shrimps were really big, and had a buttery sauce with some sauteed onions and poblano peppers. And the steak was big (~10-12 oz ) and it was really tender and well seasoned. I will continue to go back to Morena’s ❤️
The food was perfect for a Mexican restaurant type. The taco was super crispy and light and the enchiladas were to die for in that red sauce. It has completely changed inside the restaurant. They had live music when I was there and it was pleasant to watch while having my dinner. The place is very clean and super friendly service. They also have a cute cantina section and amazing cocktails but I really was there for the food and was so happy to have chosen the place. Will be back.
This past Sunday was the first time I went to this Mexican restaurant. They exceeded my expectations. Customer service was outstanding. The food was to die for. To top it off, they had mariachi’s playing on Sunday during 12 to 2. The mariachis did a great job. Also, I ordered fajitas to go for my daughter, and she couldn’t believe how good their food was
We enjoyed all of our dishes! The service was excellent. We loved the salsa so much we bought some to have at home.
I am going to start with the food. It is so good especially their beans. Enchiladas are really good, same can be said about their quesadillas. Rice is good and the atmosphere is great. Especially their outside patio. It is super good comfortable chairs red umbrellas perfect place to eat if you want some good Mexican food. Services good but nothing special. 5 out of 5!!!!
We came from Vegas, on vacation. We wanted to have some quality Mexican food. I checked the reviews on google and this place had a lot of positive reviews with a high rating. We were not disappointed. We were immediately welcomed, seated and greeted. The chips and salsa were great. Our entrees were amazing. My kids loved their meals. My steak fajitas were absolutely great with a large portion. I brought half home. My husband got the 2 different enchiladas and a steak with red sauce and chicken in green. He said they were the best enchiladas he’s ever had. The service was excellent as well. We will be back again.
Big selection of fresh, tasty mexican dishes and great drinks. The enchiladas were delicious!! Very friendly staff, they checked on us often. Can't wait to go back!
I would rate this restaurant 10 out of 10! The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was great. Our server Hurley took great care of us. He deserves a raise! My family and I had a great time, especially when the men sang happy birthday to my daughter. Thank you for your hospitality! We highly recommend this restaurant!
I have come here multiple times and it never disappoints! The food is amazing, there drinks are great and there service is phenomenal! They are so attentive constantly checking in on us making sure if the food is great or if there’s anything else we need. The prices match the quality of food you are getting as well. Everything is cooked to perfection & everything has great flavor. You can tell they take pride on the food they are serving because not only the food taste delicious the way they present their food on a plate is appetizing to the eye. The ambiance is great too great to celebrate birthdays, to gather with friends or even for date night. Very clean as well even the restrooms are clean. I like coming here for special occasions.
I always come here whenever I'm in the mood for Mexican food and it never disappoints. They make fresh hand made tortillas and they offer chips and salsa as you wait for your food. They have a great selection for food. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. They offer the best margaritas! I love ordering their fajitas. Great portion sizes for the pricing. They offer an amazing churro dessert that comes with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, its so delicious. I would recommend dining here!!
This was my first visit and my server, Hulry, was a sensational ambassador for the Morena’s business! Professional, polite, kind and gave exceptional service! The restaurant is big, open, clean and has indoor/outdoor seating and then the food. The rojo salsa is delicious and the chicken fajitas were plentiful and did not disappoint. Affordable, right off the 405, this is a solid Mexican food destination!
Absolutely Phenomenal - A Must-Try in Huntington Beach! This was my second visit to Morena's, and it somehow managed to be even better than the first – which is saying something! From the moment you sit down, you know you're in for a treat. The complimentary chips and salsa are a revelation; the smoky red salsa and the vibrant green salsa are bursting with so much flavor that they immediately set a high bar for the meal to come. On my first visit, I indulged in the Enchiladas del Mar, and they were divine – packed with lobster and shrimp, and utterly delicious. I also had a slice of their chocoflan for dessert, and oh my goodness, the flavor and texture were absolutely amazing! This time, I followed a recommendation from a fellow diner on my last visit and ordered the fideos with poblano cream sauce, adding shrimp. What a fantastic choice! The dish was incredibly creamy, packed with flavor, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. It was pure comfort and deliciousness on a plate (see my photo!). Morena's has quickly become a favorite. The quality of the food, the depth of flavors, and the welcoming atmosphere make it a standout. I can't recommend it enough! You will not be disappointed.
I am from Western NY and this was some of the best Mexican food I have had in a long time. I came with my boyfriend for supper after a fun day at Universal Studios Hollywood, and it was so good. The service is outstanding, and we even got a free appetizer since my boyfriend followed this restaurant for a long time and he impressed the owner. I 10/10 reccommend. My boyfriend and I will definitely make this one of our spots that we visit when we come to visit his parents near by. P.S. In the picture below is the Chicken Quesdilla, which is absolutely delicious.
Food was delicious! Service was excellent as well. I had the shrimp chile relleno (pictured) with green sauce and it was fantastic! I also had the cheese chile relleno which was paired with rice and beens. My girlfriend had the steak burrito and the meat was great, not filled with fat! The cucumber/chia drink was also very good! Will be returning soon!
Outstanding Mexican food restaurant. Clean, efficient, and very good. Been here a few times and have never been disappointed. Their Mezcal margaritas are some of the best around town. Chicken flautas were outstanding.
Fantastic Mexican Restaurant- rated one of the top Mexican restaurants in Huntington Beach We agree with that - everything is top drawer. First the service is fast, friendly and knowledgeable The Atmosphere is great inside and outside. It’s dog-friendly too. The food is delicious. The chips are crispy and not oily. We couldn’t stop eating them. We had shrimp fajitas with grilled, caramelized onions, rice, guacamole and more. Loved the tortilla soup, couldn’t stop eating the chips, loved our shrimp fajitas! More to come !
My wife and I have been here multiple times and every time the food and the service has been excellent!! The place is always busy but because of the layout it never feels crowded. Monday they have live music in the main room the bar has multiple TV'S and they had Monday night football on. Saturday and Sunday brunch is served in the morning and the bar has the game on as well.
Hosted a lunch (40 people) for my Abuelita’s 90th birthday in their banquet room and it was perfect in every way! They were attentive and intentional, setting everything up and even making custom menus that said “happy birthday abuelita”. The food was delicious on top of everything else. We are so so happy with our experience. A perfect spot for your next milestone celebration!
I cannot say how impressed I was with the service, food and promptness of everything. The food was amazing and had wonderful flavors. The margarita was so tasty! I recommend trying the Pozole! The guacamole was so fresh tasting and perfect. I had the pork carnitas and wow it did not disappoint. They also make fresh corn tortillas that just melt in your mouth. Don’t forget to wash it down with the “El Jefe”. This place is a MUST try!!!

Amazing shredded beef burrito with green sauce and the best churros in the world with ice cream! Super friendly service. Nice shaded patio. New Sunday buffet brunch is fantastic! Huge spread!

The chips were fresh and crisp, and salasas were delicious and colorful. My chicken poblano mole plate was the simplest looking of all our entrees. The seafood enchiladas were beautifully presented and delicious. I guess I would say don't judge a book by its cover. The mole plate was simple looking and pale. The pale reefried beans were the best I've ever had and the pounded chicken breast smothered in mole was equally the best I've ever had. I am almost never completely satisfied with a dining experience. This was the closest to exceeding my expectations, all the way around, in decades
WOW! Amazing food with outstanding Mexican flavors! I loved every bite, and their salsa is top notch. The service was super fast, friendly, and attentive. Couldn’t recommend this restaurant more!

This was my first time here. I ALWAYS carry a tumbler of ice tea with me, and when they were taking out drink order, I was told they don't allow outside food but would let it slide this time. The food and service were good. They offer Insider outside seating. We went for lunch on a Monday and it wasn't crowded at all.

We are regulars here, always on Sundays and we love it, however I don’t understand why so selfish on the salsa, whenever we ask for more salsa, we’re deliberately ignored, it takes a 3rd request and you must be assertive when asking, my husband makes fresh salsa at home, he uses the freshest ingredients and a gallon may cost $2 with 5 different types of chilis,so I don’t get the stingy attitude on salsa.
First Visit—based on reviews had high expectations! Sad to say—a great disappointment. First—the bar is very small—seats about 8 cramped against one another—opted for a table. Dining Room is spacious and a good vibe—that’s about the best thing. My Server was kind and full of smiles. Did the best to try and rec items. Today was their Taco Tuesday specials👎I chose unwisely—2 Crispy Beef Tacos (thought they were ground beef, but they were filled with very old, dried up, even crispy edges of shredded beef—chewy and almost inedible) and stale Taco Shells. I ordered a side of guacamole—they said it was the size of the salsas but you can see the photo—2 tiny scoops and old tasting—sent it back—not worth $6! Not even worth $2! Decided to try the Jack Cheese Quesadilla—it was good, yet very thin and very sparse (look at the plate) for $12! Another very negative thing was one of the employees was laying across the bathroom sinks when I went to the restroom talking on her cell phone loudly with it on video and it sounded like she was talking with a male! Very unprofessional and uncomfortable! I couldn’t get to the sink to wash my hands! The soap is like nothing—no lather—just disappears when you rub your hands together. 😯 This same employee was the one clearing dishes and would stand and watch you and as soon as you barely put your fork down was at your table asking to take your plates! I appreciate having plates cleared as many seemed to have stopped doing this since Covid! But to have someone standing by my table, like a hawk, waiting to swoop in and grab my plate the second I put my fork down was so off putting that I literally told her to leave me alone the last time she tried to take my plate! Sorry! Not sorry! Wanted to like this place. Sad to say, I hated it and won’t be back nor can I recommend it.

This has always been our go-to restaurant when we dine out and have guests in town. We even held our son’s first birthday here with their catering (everyone loved it and gave rave reviews). Recently, we noticed the portion sizes are SIGNIFICANTLY smaller. Every dish we ordered had far less protein than they have ever had and we’ve been coming here for four years. We love the staff, they have the best servers-always super respectful and attentive. Our child’s meal had about 1/3 the amount of chicken it normally comes with, my fajitas were the same. I used to make 4 or more tacos with the meat, this time I had one! Super disappointing. I brought this issue up to our server who acknowledged the portions were much smaller. I hope the owners see this and make some adjustments. We will really miss this place if this isn’t corrected.

Me and my husband would be really good clients of this restaurant we will come almost every week. (We used to live in front of the restaurant) we had been coming back again because we moved close by now, and unfortunately not coming back. It’s so sad how they want to charge for everything. We just ordered a menudo with more grano than meat and they want to charge us extra? We had never ever been charge extra for asking less meat more granos. It’s ridiculous, not coming back 🤷🏻♀️
I went to pay my bill by tap, which the receipt has a barcode, just needs to be scanned. I was over charged $10, as the waiter tacked on another item as I paid. I noticed as I was signing the tip. Mistake? Nobody apologized only initially arguing with me. I settled with the manager , as we are even , just use the $10 as tip. Not going back.

# Morena's Mexican Cuisine: Un Viaje Culinario en el Corazón de Huntington Beach
Huntington Beach, conocida cariñosamente como "Surf City USA", es mucho más que sus emblemáticas olas y su estilo de vida playero. Es un crisol de culturas, un centro de actividad vibrante y, lo que es igualmente importante, un destino gastronómico en constante evolución. Entre la diversidad de sabores que enriquecen esta ciudad costera, la cocina mexicana ocupa un lugar de honor, arraigada profundamente en la historia y el paladar de California. En este escenario culinario, Morena's Mexican Cuisine se erige como un punto de referencia, ofreciendo a residentes y visitantes una auténtica inmersión en la rica tradición gastronómica de México, enclavado estratégicamente en Edinger Avenue.
La escena gastronómica de Huntington Beach es tan diversa como sus habitantes. Desde restaurantes de alta cocina con vistas al Pacífico hasta acogedores cafés locales, la ciudad ofrece una gama de opciones que satisfacen todos los gustos.

Los restaurantes mexicanos en Huntington Beach no solo sirven comida; son embajadores de una cultura vibrante, lugares donde la comunidad se reúne, celebra y comparte momentos alrededor de platos llenos de historia y sabor.

Para comprender verdaderamente el valor de un lugar como Morena's Mexican Cuisine, es esencial contextualizar la rica y compleja historia de la cocina mexicana en California. La conexión entre California y México es inquebrantable, una relación que se remonta a siglos atrás, mucho antes de que California se convirtiera en parte de los Estados Unidos. Esta herencia se manifiesta de innumerables maneras, y la gastronomía es, sin duda, una de las más palpables y deliciosas.
La cocina mexicana en California del Sur no es una entidad monolítica; es un vibrante tapiz tejido con hilos de tradición indígena, influencias coloniales españolas y la constante evolución de las comunidades inmigrantes. Desde los tiempos de los ranchos y misiones, los ingredientes básicos como el maíz, los frijoles y los chiles han sido pilares de la dieta local. Con el paso del tiempo, la llegada de nuevas olas de inmigrantes mexicanos, cada una trayendo consigo las recetas y técnicas de sus regiones de origen –ya sea Jalisco, Oaxaca, Michoacán o Baja California– ha enriquecido exponencialmente el panorama culinario.
Esta evolución ha dado lugar a una cocina que, si bien mantiene sus raíces auténticas, también ha sabido adaptarse e innovar. Los restaurantes mexicanos en California del Sur a menudo combinan la frescura de los productos locales de California con métodos de cocción ancestrales, creando un estilo único que es a la vez familiar y emocionante. Desde los humildes "taco trucks" hasta los establecimientos de alta cocina, la diversidad es la clave. Los comensales pueden encontrar desde los tacos de carnitas cocinados a fuego lento hasta complejos moles que requieren horas de preparación, pasando por ceviches refrescantes que evocan la costa del Pacífico. Este legado es lo que permite a lugares como Morena's Mexican Cuisine florecer, apoyándose en una base de aprecio y comprensión por la autenticidad y la calidad.
En el corazón de cualquier buena cocina mexicana reside una filosofía de frescura, sabor y calidez. Un establecimiento como Morena's Mexican Cuisine, enclavado en una región con una rica historia mexicana, es probable que celebre estos principios, ofreciendo a sus clientes una experiencia que va más allá de la simple alimentación. La autenticidad en la cocina mexicana se define por varios elementos clave que se espera encontrar en un restaurante de calidad en California del Sur.
En primer lugar, los ingredientes son fundamentales. La cocina mexicana se basa en una paleta de productos vibrantes y frescos. Esto incluye una variedad de chiles, desde los suaves poblanos hasta los picantes serranos y jalapeños, que aportan complejidad y profundidad a los platos. El maíz, en sus múltiples formas –tortillas de maíz hechas a mano, tamales, sopes– es el alma de muchos platillos, ofreciendo una base sustanciosa y versátil. Los frijoles, ya sean negros o pintos, cocidos a fuego lento y sazonados a la perfección, son un acompañamiento esencial. A esto se suman productos frescos como aguacates maduros para el guacamole, tomates, cebollas, cilantro y limas, que aportan frescura y acidez.
Las técnicas de cocción también son cruciales. Muchos platos mexicanos se preparan con métodos que han sido transmitidos de generación en generación. Esto puede incluir el asado a la parrilla de carnes marinadas, la cocción lenta de guisos ricos y sabrosos, o la fritura cuidadosa de antojitos para lograr la textura perfecta. La elaboración de salsas y moles es un arte en sí mismo, con cada receta requiriendo una cuidadosa selección y tostado de especias y chiles, y un meticuloso proceso de molienda y cocción.
Además, la cocina mexicana es increíblemente diversa regionalmente. Un restaurante en California del Sur podría inspirarse en la robustez de los platillos del centro de México, la frescura de la cocina costera de Baja California, o la sofisticación de los moles de Oaxaca. Esta diversidad significa que los comensales pueden esperar encontrar una amplia gama de sabores y texturas: desde los tacos de pescado estilo Baja, ligeros y crujientes, hasta las enchiladas bañadas en ricas salsas rojas o verdes, pasando por los sabrosos chiles rellenos o las fajitas chispeantes. Morena's Mexican Cuisine, al estar en este contexto, tiene la oportunidad de ofrecer una muestra representativa de esta riqueza culinaria, curando un menú que celebra tanto lo clásico como lo innovador, siempre con un ojo puesto en la calidad y la autenticidad. La expectativa es que cada plato refleje un compromiso con la tradición y el sabor, transportando a los comensales directamente al corazón de México con cada bocado.
