OMG! The food here is amazing. My brother and I normally eat at the other Mexican Restaurant located in Conyers inside a Mexican Meat Store & SuperMarket but the new owners cut portion sizes and the quality wasn't the same. We are so glad we gave La Morenita a chance. We hit the JACKPOT! THE Steak Tacos are Fire (meaning great)! The Chicken Quesadillas are Official (meaning better than great)! The Rice is great, and the beans were tasty. Fresh ingredients ooze through every bite. This was the second visit and we will be back in 2 weeks. You won't be disappointed. The prices are okay, but the portion sizes with great taste will make it worth it!
Salsa is great as well as the salsa brought out. Authentic spot with great street tacos. Worth the visit. Margarita a little sweet but definitely strong. Authentic and delicious. Go try it out.
We found this restaurant after stopping at several others that had waits from 45 minutes to an hour and a half. We had a long day and were starving. They had plenty of seating and took our party of 11 right away, and boy were we glad they did. We had a meal that reminded my husband, a southern California boy, of the days when he would travel Baja and have great Mexican food. I had one of the best beef head taco's I've ever eaten. Everything was fantastic and the staff was very attentive and so very sweet. It was also the first meal my husband and I have eaten out in a while that was less than $50 to feed us both. If you are always searching for a great taqueria, like we are, do not miss this one. Just a few minutes off I-20. Parking is limited, but there's an Auto Zone next door you can park at.
