This was a great recommendation from a friend; we were very impressed by the quality of the food and the price was very fair for what we received. The steak quesadilla is amazing!

La Morenita Taqueria is a gem. I've always loved Mexican food, but this place has painted me into a corner. The food is simply amazing. the family that runs it is always happy to see people enjoying themselves. the restaurant is clean, and the location is perfect. they have a bar with salsas, limes, salad, and hot sauces. and if they don't have the best horchata I've ever had then don't wake me up. I love this place, dearly.

We had a great experience here! The food was delicious, the drinks were great, and everything is reasonably priced. Highly recommend checking out their happy hour, which is everyday from 2-6pm. The small margaritas were 1.99!

Man if you haven't tried this place out. You are truly missing out. They maybe small,but the food alone is worth being in there. The servers are super nice and explains everything on their menu. Salsa alone is worth the sit down. I've tried several places in auburn and this by far is the best to me. Dont believe me. Go try for yourself.

10/10 definitely trying again and so should you! Guys... this place HIT major in every aspect! I mean from entering we were greeted with smiling faces and positive energy, we were seated and someone came to the table immediately to take drink orders. My classic margarita was amazing and I was a lil when I left but thank GOD I wasn’t driving! I’m j/k but it was yummy and I ordered the fajitas and oh em gee! It was huuuuge, no way can 1 person eat this much... I definitely have food for today. They made sure we were taken care of the entire time, very attentive and they asked if they food was to our liking and it was!!! I will recommend this place to anyone and I loved the decor!

This is one of the best places to get Mexican food in Auburn. I got Sopes and my wife had the Pollo Loco dish and Morentia fries and everything was great. They have a large outdoor seating area. My server was patient and helpful as well.
