Morena's Mexican Cuisine — Restaurant in Riverside

If you're looking for a dining experience that seamlessly blends outstanding food, impeccable service, and a clean, inviting atmosphere, Morena's is the place to be!

I had the carnitas plate, and my girlfriend enjoyed the shrimp ceviche. Both dishes were nothing short of perfection. The carnitas were tender, flavorful, and perfectly complemented by the fresh sides. The shrimp ceviche was a burst of freshness, with vibrant flavors and high-quality ingredients that made every bite unforgettable.

For dessert, we indulged in their freshly made churros with ice cream, and it was the highlight of the meal. The churros were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and paired beautifully with the creamy, rich ice cream. A truly indulgent treat that ended the meal on a high note.

The service at Morena's was top-notch. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed without being intrusive. It’s clear that they care deeply about their customers' experience.

The cleanliness of the restaurant also deserves praise. It’s evident that the team works hard to maintain a spotless environment, and we noticed the staff consistently tending to the dining area to keep everything in order.

The atmosphere at Morena's is warm and welcoming, with a modern yet cozy vibe that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're visiting for a casual meal or a special occasion, this spot has you covered.

I highly recommend Morena's for anyone craving exceptional food and excellent service. This was a dining experience I won’t forget, and I can’t...

This is the second time I’ve eaten at this restaurant —first time was brunch and this time was for dinner.

The menu is tight with a nice amount of choices that should accommodate most taste. The food is full of flavor, color and artfully arranged!

You can get your typical Mexican fair (enchiladas, burritos, etc., etc.) but, it also has a variety of other flavors and dishes.

We had CAMARONES AL MOJO DE AJO, SAUTEED WILD SHRIMP, ONION, TOAMTO. PEPPERS, WINE, GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE served with roasted veggies -it was delicious and POLLO ALA CHIPOTLE GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST WITH ONION, MUSHROOMS, WINE, CHIPOTLE CREAM SAUCE served with rice and avocado. Everything on the plate was well seasoned and each item had its own flavor profile that complimented one another.

All the food that was coming out of the kitchen (which is visible if you sit at the bar in the middle of the restaurant) looked really good. I was asking the waitress names of dishes she was taking to tables after seeing them!

If you like shrimp I would definitely recommend having it here!

Service is good and everyone (front and back of the house) helps each other out.

One tiny request —please extend open hours until 9pm on a Friday...
