Morena’s Mexican Cuisine is owned and operated by the Rosales family. They opened their first location in Rancho Mission Viejo in 2019. Since then have plans to open several more locations in Orange County and the Inland Empire.
We offer our customers authentic Mexican food made with the freshest ingredients. We never use pre-made sauces, mixes, or frozen ingredients in our food.
All of our cocktails are made with fresh ingredients like freshly muddled blackberries, organic agave and fresh lime juice.

    The waiter who introduced himself and said he would be taking care of our table did not come back the rest of the evening. We had three different people try to take our order. The one that took the order got three of the seven orders incorrect because he did not ask The people what they wanted just to read through to jot some items down. They did remake the orders, but it took exceptionally long and the other people at our table had finished eating by the time the food came back.

    Taco Tuesday, at Morena's Mexican exceeded my expectations.. We enjoyed the "bargain" tacos, cooked crispy.. They were good, but they were "bargain quality".. There wasn't much chicken.. There was a bit too much potato in that taco.. The Marguerita was strong, sweet.. It's a bargain dinner worth repeating.. Great chips and salsa.

    We had a party of 7 and were able to get separate checks. Our server was wonderful. Everyone loved their food. The blackened shrimp tacos and chicken tortilla soup were the favorites that day.
