Taqueria La Morena — Restaurant in Locust Grove

If you’re cruising through Locust Grove and haven’t hit up La Morena Taqueria, you’re seriously missing out on one of the best-kept secrets on the south side. This spot isn’t just a taqueria—it’s a full-blown flavor sanctuary.

You’re greeted with the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling meats, warm tortillas, and fresh herbs that instantly tell your senses: bienvenido mi amigo. The service is fast, friendly, and full of heart. But let’s get to the real star of the show: the food.

Fact, the tacos are incredible—loaded with juicy carne asada, crispy carnitas, or that life-changing lengua—but let me put the spotlight on something that doesn’t get nearly enough hype: the tortas.

These tortas are absolute monsters in the best way possible. We’re talking about fluffy-yet-crispy bolillo bread, perfectly toasted, stuffed to the max with your protein of choice (shoutout to the Texana torta chefs kiss), and layered with creamy avocado, fresh lettuce, tomato, jalapeños, and a smear of beans that ties it all together like a love letter to your taste buds. Every bite is the perfect combo of crunch, spice, and savory goodness.

It’s not just a sandwich. It’s an experience.

La Morena Taqueria is the real deal—authentic, consistent, and unforgettable. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make this a must eat at spot. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning...

I've been to a dozen taquerias, and Taqueria La Morena is hands-down the best. This is my go-to spot for incredible, authentic tacos.

If you're looking for the best tacos around, look no further. Highly...
