Morenita Taqueria: Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Roseville, CA

Stopped in here for lunch while I was passing through Roseville. 5 star taqueria. Got some great chicken tacos. Well seasoned and cooked. Nice sides and insane salsas. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu.

Stopped in for a quick bite. I got steak tacos. They were good and not skimpy. Great salsa ! I’ll be going back.

First time and will certainly come back! Quant and cute, friendly service, great food. It’s on the pricey side for sure($39 for two entrees and a horchata) so that’s the only thing that made it not 5 stars. But overall a must-try in the sea of Mexican joints in our area.

Don’t let the 'hole-in-the-wall' exterior fool you—the food here is incredible. The carne asada tacos were a highlight; the meat was juicy, tender, and seasoned to perfection. We also loved the bistec ranchero, which featured a great balance of tender beef and fresh vegetables. Even the asada fries impressed us with their ideal crunch. However, the absolute star of the show was the made-to-order Aguachiles. They were bright, spicy, and incredibly fresh—truly mouth-watering.

I stopped by here for breakfast and went with the recommendation from the cashier. The plate of chilaquiles was great. Little bit of meat, 2 eggs, chips, beans, avocado, and a lot of cheese. They also give chips and salsa with the meal too. The interior is well decorated and the cashier/waitresses are friendly. Cooks are fast bringing out the food in only a few minutes. Restrooms are outside in the back by the parking lot.

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 not spoil it!

A great taqueria!! It’s a small restaurant with limited seating but the food is always delicious! 100% recommend!!

I moved to the Sacramento area 09/2024 and today was the first day I found a real authentic Mexican restaurant! 100% reccomend to my Hispanic people who are looking for some real homemade style food.
