Morelia Méxican Restaurant — Restaurant in California

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...

This is a true family restaurant in a 100+ year old house on Main St in historic Jamestown. Their menu is fairly small, but the dishes are lovingly and authentically prepared with homemade salsas and sauces. Service is friendly, portions are generous and prices are low for the area. It's a great place to stop after visiting Railtown 1897, home of two restored, operating steam locomotives and the only original short line wooden roundhouse and machine shop still in regular use in North America. Update 4/28/2019 Ordered from the lunch menu this time and was even more impressed. My pork burrito was huge with big chunks of perfectly cooked pork and very little filler (i.e. refried beans and rice) and a tangy, citrus-like green sauce. My wife's machaca and eggs was fantastic, too, excellently seasoned and so big that she brought more than half of it home... and, remember, this was lunch! Less than $25 for two including drinks and service was quick and friendly, too! BTW, our friend had a shrimp tostada and I've never seen so many good sized shrimp - we counted over two dozen good sized, fresh...

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...
