Morenita Taqueria — Restaurant in Roseville

If you’re looking for less oily and super tasty Mexican food this is it. Super reasonably priced too when tacos are 3.50-4.50; it was $2.99 for cash so I felt that’s a very fair price. The food is cooked with heart and you can tell because the Quesadilla and Tacos (carne and Al pastor at least) were not too oily but had a very solid level of flavor. Adding lemon+sauce or salsa + onions are key. If you don’t I could see people saying these are a bit on the dryer side.

Super quesadilla was huge and a very nice portion. Perfectly crispy while relying on cheese and meat to provide good flavor. I think paying the $2 for the guac + sour cream + lettuce + 1 tomato wasnt really worth it - portion felt small… but the quesadilla itself was an amazing value.

Al pastor was slightly dry- sauce helps remedy it but it’s by no means bad just a bit on the not so flavorful side.

Carne asada was interesting because the pieces felt like ground beef but they still were actual asada. Very good I actually really enjoyed it a lot.

Chips and salsa were free and refillable. Salsa is a bit spicy and a little bland but the flavor hits after a bit.

Overall worth a try for sure unless you’re into super unhealthy buttery/oily Mexican food then I’d...

In some ways I hesitate to share with you how fantastic this place is. Why? I feel like I want this little gem all to myself. That if I share it, somehow it's going to get all used up, wear out...

This place is unbelievably wonderful. The recipes used here are so obviously from "Grandma/Mom". The food is presented beautifully and by friendly staff who clearly CARE about the business and your experience.

The food is flavorful, colorful, and fresh. The flavors are perfectly bold. Nothing overwhelming and nothing over seasoned.

I've had the birria taco plate twice now. The flavor profile is just perfect. Not too salty, not over seasoned to "cover the bases", perfect seasoning. A hearty flavor that just works.

I cannot recommend this place more highly to you. But please, help me preserve it. I want them to do well, I want the best for the owners of course, but I don't want to lose this perfect family intimacy I sense and taste. Share it with some, but not all your friends. Let's enjoy it but...

First time there and the food I would say was pretty good. Unfortunately, the dining area needs to be completed. Specifically the bar seems like it's more of a storage area. If they spent a weekend just totally redoing it. They'd get a lot of business there. They are busy so I'm assuming they do. I was noticing when I was waiting for my food that there's a weird karaoke machine in the middle of the room. Speaking from ex-business owner perspective, that investment wasn't the best. It'd be better if they invested in the bar for aesthetics, or even the front door. The thing looks janky and it wouldn't shut by itself letting flies in . but this is about the food so, it took a while to get out, but overall the food was very good. No complaints about the food, the price was a little high even though I know everything else is raising their prices, but still. Overall very good food. The young lady taking our order was...
