La Morenita - Modesto

HUGE good! Would've liked more cheese and was a little crunchier than I expected but overall 9/10.

Yum Great food and great people Love the shrimp enchiladas Garlic shrimp is wonderful also

This is a place I've gone to many times within the last several years and it's always what you expect it to be. The servers are kind and very helpful. Most of all I just appreciate the kindness I feel here and the upbeat attitudes. Our server was Jesus, he was super nice and attentive. He tended to our kids needs no matter how much they asked for things. I ordered the two enchilada plate with beef with green sauce and it came with rice and beans, hit the spot! I can always count on it to be consistent. My fiancé ordered the 3 Combo plate with Chile relleno, a burrito, and an enchilada. He loved the green sauce so much he asked for some to go! It was that good. They have a banquet or event room I believe, I thought it was just extra seating but they literally had a party in there. We noticed when we came outside because the side door was open and it was like a whole second restaurant. You could hear the people chatting inside without the chatter of the restaurant and we thought how convenient that was if we ever wanted to hold a special occasion there. This restaurant has been around since as long as I can remember and they've never disappointed!

Service and food are excellent. The bar gets so lit during the football season. I love coming here for the wet burritos. The only negative thing I have to say is to avoid the shredded chicken because you will choke trying to swallow it especially after some drinks

Wow!! $70.00+ for two people! How?? No alcohol ordered. We each ordered an entrée, and we got the large bean dip, and a fried ice cream to share for dessert, one soda and one water. When did their prices sky rocket??!! We dined here not that long ago, and everything has jumped since then, by two or three dollars each. Plus, they charge extra based on a credit card price and claim that if you pay cash it is less, they still overcharged us on every item, even with the so called discounted price . We started with the bean dip, without verde sauce. The beans were very runny. It tasted good, but the consistency was off, for sure. The soda ran out on the last refill. It was mostly watered down, not sweet at all. I ordered my shrimp enchiladas without sauce. In the past they have smothered it in cheese. As you can see from my photo, there is hardly any cheese on top of my tortillas, or my even the beans. I requested no onions and easy seasoning, which they did. It tasted great, the service was decent. We just cannot get over the price hikes or the upcharge for credit, when we paid cash! He had the chicken a 'la parrilla. He received more cheese on his beans than I did. His chicken was pretty dry. It is very disheartening that this is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, but we won 't be back any time soon!
