La Morenita Mexican Restaurant - Livingston, California

The atmosphere and personnel were great. My wife’s plate was spicy shrimp a la crema. From her own opinion she said it was ok. Me in the hand had the menudo. To me the menudo was good but not great. It needed more flavor and usually menudo don’t have hominy and this one did. So o would the menudo a 5 out of 10.

My order of camarones a la Diabla was scrumptious as always. Spicy like they should be. My mother enjoyed some great tasty asada sopes. Service is always great here. Food is always great . You can never go wrong with anything you order here. Because it will all be good and tasteful. Place is always clean. Staff are friendly and attentive. No doubt. Love eating here. It's a local family owned business. Locals love this place. Cuz they serve great food. Try this place i guarantee you will like it. I promise.

Super cute family restaurant with friendly staff. We were there on Sunday during the lunch rush, it was packed with the locals. We weren’t a fan of their salsa, tasted store bought. Food served lukewarm. Chilie Colorado was too salty. Dos Tacos Ahogados, tortilla tasted a bit off. Refried beans also tasted store bought. The service was friendly and timely, and the place was clean and quaint. Their food just didn’t tickle our palates!

Neat little place just off the highway serving folks from every walk of life. The staff was very courteous and food pretty tasty. Snapped a few shots to demonstrate the exterior, artwork, personality, and of course the comida. Enjoy the photos ...

I've been driving past this establishment on my way to work so I figured I give it go. The parking lot is a little small, but there was plenty of parking when I arrived during a Friday evening. There are tables and some lovely string lights outside the entrance. The interior was clean and nicely decorated with paintings. The restaurant culture here is also different than the ones I'm used to; for instance, I didn't know I was allowed to grab a table the moment I entered. After picking a table, I was offered the usual chips and salsa. I ordered a chimichanga (unaware I ordered the one with rice and beans, but they were good). I enjoyed the chimichanga very much. Cutting through the deep fried wrap and hearing it crumble was oddly satisfying. My waiter, Ezra, was so kind to let me order my chimichanga to have more of a "carne asada" prepared beef when the main choices were beef, pork, or chicken. The chimichanga itself is a good size. Though it may be because I have a smaller stomach, I ended up taking the half of it home along with some rice and beans.

My only (and minor) critique: I was hoping the tables featured a box of napkins. My food packed enough heat to make my nose runny, so I need a little more than two pieces of napkins to get through my meal and wipe down any mess I created. Other than that, I had a really good experience at this establishment. Thanks again, Ezra.

I was raised going to this restaurant 39 years. My parents were friends with the old owners back when I was a kid. So this restaurant has been a restaurant I have gone to my whole life. It is my favorite place to eat. And the owners now are the best. It has continued to be great over the years. Not only AMAZING food, for me this is home! Best of the best!
My husband already knows the answer when asked "where do you want to eat?" 😁😂

Wasn't crowded at all..
Waited almost 45 minutes for the meal.
Waitress seemed to ignore us most of the time.
Food was alright, but I won't be returning.
Not worth it.

Slow service, 🐌 and the waitress service another table with 6 people over 2 , I think for the tips. Food was bland beans tasted like Roseritas place could use updating. We waited about 45 minutes for food. Finally got 1 refill on our tea. Never again. And they weren't busy! 3 tables only.
