La Morenita - Pennsauken

If they want to eat a fresh and authentic Mexican, that is their place to go! now I have nothing against Tex-Mex food, but places do not show that when they get somewhere and that is by far one of the most authentic places I was. the inner was very clean and the staff was very nice, polite, and everyone followed the current COVID-19 guidelines. I ordered a pancita that is a Mexican stew consisting of tripe (pork or bark). the broth has a beautiful kick to it as its a little spicy since its from chiles guajillo and chiles de arbol (both are pfeffer). not to mention, the meat was perfectly cooked and tasty! I loved the freshly cut cilantro, lime and swirl to put in the suppe instead of putting others who deprive their causes. these handmade tortillas gave the order a very home feeling. I recommend this place definitiw! I can't wait to come back and try the rest of your menu!

The service here is horrific. We sat down and had 5 different parties come in after us, each one was served drinks and salsa way before anyone even spoke to us. We even waved the young woman down she acknowledged she hadn 't served us yet and decided to take a phone call. When confronted about their service all we received was a sorry . This is our second time here. The food is okay but their service stinks, bad. We will drive a little dither for better Mexican food next time. You would think with a restaurant in such a small town they would be grateful for the customer. This is not the case with this restaurant. Such a shame. I also feel our horrible service is based on our skin color. I hate to say it but it 's true.

I really wanted to like this place and support a local business. I can say the server was very nice but now I know why it was empty on a saturday night. We ordered steak fajitas which were not steak, they were little squares of steakumm type beef with chopped bacon and cheese melted on top. I've been eating fajitas for decades and never in my life have they come with bacon and cheese. It was way too greasy and the bacon was chewy and rubbery. We got a cheese quesadilla which came in the shape of 3 cheese tacos standing up and the tortillas were deep fried, pale and spongy dripping with oil. The guacamole tasted good but had chunks too big to pick up on a small chip and we ended up leaving it uneaten. I could have made these better at home (and I have many times) I want to support local businesses but this one needs more work. This was the result of a very inexperienced fry cook. I cannot recommend this place at all.

I don 't know how people are giving this place bad reviews. This is the best authentic Mexican food I 've had in a long time. I ordered enchiladas Rojas con bistec and it was soooo spicy and flavorful. I am so glad to finally find spicy good Mexican food around here. If people don 't like the spice, or think their customer service isn 't good , go to one of the million other white people mexican places around here. I don 't think my husband and I will be able to even try another Mexican place for a while... we will keep coming back here. I thought they were friendly, fast, decently priced, and delicious!

This is the only place we order from when we want Mexican food. No one else compares to la morenita. The food is always on time, hot, and the delivery guy is super friendly. The portions are huge and even my husband, who is a hearty eater, can get at least a second meal out of their portions. A while ago, we called them to order food (before they were on the delivery apps). The restaurant part was closed but they still took our order and drove the food to us. You really don't see this type of customer service anymore. They truly care about their customers and their service and food proves it. Order from here when you want the best Mexican food. If you already did and weren't pleased, try once more because every restaurant/cook has a bad day.
