Morelia

Great service. Generous portions and great food. You won't be disappointed.

After eating here yesterday as well as today, I decided this restaurant was worth 5 stars for excellent service, quality and quantity of food for the price and nice atmosphere in a cute gold rush town. We were seated quickly, drinks were refilled without asking and the servers were friendly. I asked the waitress and it’s the same chef/family who cooked at ‘The Smoke’ Mexican Cafe across the street many years ago. This is now a family owned restaurant and the grandma (80 years now) was still in back making tamales. 😁. The food is not overtly spicy so ask for hot sauce if you like. The mole sauce was nice, a hint of chocolate, sweet and mildly spicy. The garlic soup was excellent and the tortilla soup was nice, a beef broth with cheese and lots of tortilla strips. The chicken tamales were a mix of fresh dark and light shredded meat as were the pork tamales. The chile rillenos were great with a rich tomato sauce. Absolutely everything was fresh and so hot when it arrIved at the table we had to wait to eat it! The beans and rice were fresh and hot as well, you can always tell. They had people walking in and out constantly for takeout so it’s obviously popular! This is not expensive, fancy food, it’s excellent home style Mexican cooking for an excellent price.

Fresh delicious authentic Mexican cuisine, chile verde and pastor were DELICIOUS, fresh housemaid TEQUILA margaritas, friendly and speedy service, clean, quaintly decorated dining room and kitchen (open to dining area). A must stop if you are visiting Jamestown!

Best Menudo in the Mother Lode. I take my 95 year old mother there and she prefers Morelia's over the many restaurants she has visited in Northern California. Staff is friendly and always prompt in serving from the kitchen to the plate.

I really enjoyed eating authentic Mexican food. I recomend "Chile relleno"

One of the best places we have eaten in a while.

First time here and our family really enjoyed it. The food was delicious and quite a bit of food for the price, nice cozy atmosphere, super sweet waitress that served us with a genuine smile. I look forward to going back. 😊

Chilli Verde.. The garlic soup is delishiosho. And The arrozz and frijoles are fresh and the rice is fluffy.. Yum.. Great ambience (I so love Mexico ...I love my moms heritage she is from Guadlajara so she is a Tapatia.. La Morelia is like home!!

Great food great service. Everything is fantastic.

Absolute amazing service and hospitality, cleanness, feels right at home😉👍🥰🥰😋😋😋

The food was absolutely amazing! The service was fantastic until a couple came in and then a party of 12. We sat there for about 15 minutes waiting for our to go boxes. They were very attentive until they got busy. Don’t get me wrong they were, running around and doing very well considering that circumstances. It was a little pricey $85 for two of us however we did have beef chimichangas, big portions, a margarita each and shrimp quesadilla appetizer. The margarita I wish was in a traditional margarita glass it was not it was in glass cup with a lime and a straw no salt. The building reminded me an old Victorian home, maybe mid century, which was a great experience. There was not really any parking so we called the restaurant as we were approaching and they let us park in the back. We will be returning and we did give a $20 tip. I wish they would serve traditional margaritas. It might make a more authentic experience overall other than that and the to go boxes it was great!

Food is always amazing and service to match it.

The food is amazing and authentic Their nachos are great. They have 2 types of nachos flowered nachos and corn nachos of which I liked flowered nachos. We had a soft shelled taco was scrumptious.

Staff is always great. Food is great. Never disappointed

Great location and historic bldg with awesome food.

Everything was amazing 👏🤩. Clean, fresh, fast, friendly, and delicious. I will definitely return for another meal!!

I am usually so much better at capturing our meals however we were starving and here on lunch from work so I only snapped one photo. Morelia is one of the best and most authentic Mexican kitchens in the area. I usually get the taquitos, but decided to change it up. I got the carnitas super burrito which comes with a side of rice and beans. This was delicious and huge I was able to take half back to the office for lunch the next day. They always start us off with a mixed basket of chips, one of the only places that offers both flour and corn tortilla chips, and a bowl of house made salsa. We ordered some guacamole as well. Delicious as always. My friend got the enchilada plate also very delicious. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. No matter when you come in they treat you like family. The restaurant is small and family owned and it feels like you are going into their home with the love and care they put into their food. Its a simple decor restaurant but the food is the state. Their garlic soup is killer.

We wanted dinner before heading into Yosemite for a few days so stopped by. In short, this was some of the best food and service I’ve had in years. We ordered the tamales and carnitas dinner. The salad had homemade ranch and both soups were excellent. The rice and beans were also very good. The tamales were not dry and had just enough spice. The carnitas were phenomenal. We ended up having so much food that we have enough for a second dinner tomorrow. I cannot say enough good things about the food. Our waiters were very attentive and went above and beyond. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. 6/5 stars.

We found this place when we were looking for something to eat during our roundtrip. After reading the reviews we wanted to check it out ourself, and it did not disappoint. The staff was super attentive and the selection of foods and was very extensive. I've ordered the mole and it was really great. When in the area this is the place to check out when you are into Mexican food.

I don't give 5 stars💫, but Morelia's is an exceptional Restaurant. Food is always wonderful and authentic. Service is friendly and they check imperfectly to make sure everything is still good. I wish the restaurant could be cloned in my hometown. Plus thebestchips ever, they serve them WARM!

We were the first customers. We got chips and salsa. Ordered burritos and margaritas. The portion size was Huge! And it was really tasty. Friendly staff. I recommend this place.

Great food and wonderful service

The service was great, food tasted amazing. Didn't have to wait long for our food either! Reasonably priced for lunch! Definitely will go back for more!

Stopped here for dinner with my dad on 9/25/23. The restaurant is in a charming old house and decorated with the typical Mexican restaurant items. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. I ordered the Pollo De Crema and the server said it’s one of his favorites, like a Mexican alfredo. Let me say it did not disappoint! First the salad had the freshest and most crisp lettuce I’ve ever had at a restaurant before (IYKYK). The server asked if I wanted a bit of spice added to my dish and I said absolutely! It was delicious with a bit of a kick. My dad had the wet chicken burrito with red sauce and it was definitely not small. Chips and salsa is always a must. The staff were excellent, our drinks were never empty and if we even had the thought of needing something one of the servers was right there asking if we’re good! I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in Jamestown.

We ordered 2 x al pastor taco, 1 x chimichangga and 1 chicken salad plus 4 sodas. It was filling and tasty.

Very authentic & flavourful food. Everyone's plate looked amazing.

Mole was tasty only wish chicken had been seasoned also, salsa very tasty and prices reasonable

The garlic soup here was amazing. The beef burrito was pretty good as well. Prices were reasonable too

Oh my goodness, you guysssss! We stopped in within an hour of this place closing....the highway was stopped, and we were hungry...so we ventured into "town" and stumbled across this awesome little Mexican food place. It was so good. Great service. We have some green sauce enchiladas...so good. The rice was soft. The beans were great. The chips....oh, that is what excited me the most - they serve BOTH corn and flour chips with their yummy salsa. The service was excellent. So quick. The food was hot. We will definitely be back!

Stopped here on our way home after being recommended to us from the staff at Mia’s Pizza. Our Takeaway from this entire weekend was how this community supports each other! We enjoyed the huevos rancheros with chorizo. Perfect Brunch! Delicious food, friendly service, charming little town. 10/10!

Delicious food (I had the chimichanga), great chips and salsa - the chips are a mix of corn or flour tortilla and I'm a sucker for the flour chips, so light and fluffy. Good salsa. Good size portions for everyone, couldn't finish our plates. Very friendly staff and quick service.

Loved this little place, great food, large menu, including kids selection and brilliant service. Best mexican I've had in ages

This is probably the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Big portions, great people and decent pricing. Highly recommend!!

Cute little restaurant with friendly staff, yummy food and generous portions.

Good food, friendly staff, ranchero sauce was the best.

Does quaint little cottage in Jamestown serves absolutely delicious Mexican food that is only overshadowed by their cramped configuration, and they're slow but very charismatic and warm service. For people who want a more intimate dining experience I recommend it. I do go out of my way though to get their garlic soup winter day.

First time eating at this Mexican restaurant had a very nostalgic atmosphere, I loved it. Ordered several plates of tacos and tamales. Food was delicious except the tamales were extremely dry.

Cool little joint, pleasant and attentive staff, average food.

One of very few places open Wednesday evening & looked to have most customers of all options. I got the carnitas plate [photo] of which the neat was quite good plus rice & beans good too. But the salsa & chips were not great. Yet the service by all staff was very good. Just not quite 4 stars for me & I do not issue 5 very often.

The food was bland and spice less, I was not impressed. Service was amazing but sadly it didn't makeup for the food.

personally, meat was too soft and a bunch of juice was coming out. others meat was really dry and not enough sauce and all was bland (no strong flavors) the cheese wasn't melted all the way and had a funky aftertaste. other than those it was ok, but not coming back anytime soon 😬
