Morelos Cantina Grill: Reviews & Ratings
I normally don't eat Mexican because I am picky but! Everything was delicious. Fantastic pancakes and fries. Normally, I do not order chicken at a mexican restaurant as its gross BUT again even the chicken was fabulous. Definitely will go again!
Loved the personalized service and awesome food.... green salsa is amazing..... and my god both breakfast and dinner have been wonderful. New fave for moss bluff !!!!
This is my third visit to Morelos Cantina Grill. I have enjoyed the Mexican Street Tacos, which were perfect! The Chili Relleno was prepared just right. Today I had the Carne Asada...oh my...very flavorful and nearly fork tender. It came served over grilled cactus, with pico de gallo, creamy guacamole, rice and refried beans. The complimentary chips an salsa come with a green salsa made of creamy avacado and jalapeno...its yummmmmyyy
Food is good! Cheese dip is amazing! Breakfast or dinner. Menu is vast which I don't prefer, I like it simple. But do recommend this place!
We came for the first time yesterday. Staff was really friendly and food was great. Everything has a nice homemade flavor. Enchiladas were amazing (cheese, chicken and steak). The refried beans were some of the best I’ve had anywhere. Braxton was our server and he was awesome. Highly recommend!
The place has definitely improved since they first opened. The chips were crispy and fresh. The shrimp on my tacos were grilled and paired with a delicious creamy sauce—just the right amount of spice without being overwhelming. The fresh cilantro was the perfect complement. Unfortunately, my seganari frozen margarita lacked flavor and was a bit on the icy side. On the other hand, the original margarita on the rocks was the perfect traditional blend.
The staff is always very friendly and the food is delicious. We got the chicken fajita burrito, street tacos with Barbacoa and Carnitas, kids chicken quesadilla, guacamole and Queso.
I previously provided a less than stellar review of my take-out experience. I’ve always had a great experience dining in. I recently returned to dine in and was met with exceptional service and food. Therefore, I’m editing this review to provide the 5 stars this business deserves.
