Food is just ok not that great our to go order took over an hour and fifteen minutes when I was told fifteen minutes yet there was nobody in the restaurant. The ambience is old and dusty and un inviting . They charge a service fee for using a credit card. Seems to be a trend in El Paso as of the last two years I've visited several restaurants now charge a service fee for credit card customers which seems great for the owners who don't want to pay the fee but not so great for customers who don't want to pay lol . The staff is slow and arrogant and the girls at the front hostess area couldn't care if you're standing there waiting as if you're disturbing them by wanting to eat . I don't think I'd be back it seems to be a glorified mess of a restaurant that people who live in the area put up with just because it's close and they are old and hate driving . Hard pass I don't recommend it and it's rare that i feel this way nor have I written a bad review in while but the arrogance and lack of motivation to get food out in a timely manner makes it hard to like besides the poor quality food .

We started off with drinks and chips and salsa, I'm not a fan of spicy food and the salsa was just right for me. I ordered the Baked Chicken Enchiladas with green sauce (again the sauce was not spicy, so I was very happy. Usually when you get green sauce it's very spicy.) everything tasted great and was very filling. My husband ordered the Meat enchiladas and enjoyed everything as well. The service was great and the staff was friendly! This place is family friendly with the dining area located away from the bar. On the weekends the have a huge buffet 9Am-2pm and we can't wait to try!If your from the Midwest like us this place reminded us of the Mexican restaurant in our home town!

I've never been to this restaurant though I've passed it a million times. Inside is huge and it looks very nice and clean. The first time here we ordered a family pack thing (not on the main menu) to go, and got 12 tacos with rice, beans, and tortillas for $30! The first time we got all ground beef to make it simple, and a side of guacamole...but we've done this a few times now and you can mix & match; I think last time we got tacos, flautas, and tortas. All the toppings come on the side so you can customize your own plate, and it's been plenty of food to feed us (5 adults). I think this is the big secret if you order from here; the prices on the family pack orders are a total deal!

I hadn't been to La Morena in years. There used to be a La Morena on the westside (off North Mesa) but it's no longer there. It became a Mexican/Mediterranean restaurant. The eastside location used to be where Morra Mia is. I think it was also named La Terraza at one time. Anyway... I came to a family friend's Halloween/birthday party. I'm not sure if the dining room experience at their new location is different from a party experience. This review is mostly based on the party experience. The party room has several TVs in there. That's a plus especially during football season. My team (Dallas Cowboys) didn't play until the evening so I wasn't really paying attention. The luncheon was served buffet style. Each guest received a taco, gordita and enchilada with rice and beans. They also got iced tea or a soft drink. I drank water with lemon. Everything tasted pretty good! I was a little bit under the weather so I couldn't eat everything on my plate. They don't serve alcohol at this time however...you are welcome to bring your own. La Morena is next to a Circle K so that's the closest place to get beer or wine, etc. I was tempted to get something but I didn't. There was two or three waitresses working the party. They were all friendly and helpful. They were a little bit slow with refills and picking up the plates. I understand it was busy in the restaurant plus serving the party guests chips, salsa and drinks so not a big deal. Another plus is that the restrooms were clean. Also, all of the staff wore masks. There's a large table where you can put the cake and goodies. My mom helped with the decor and sweets. I believe you have to bring your own desserts/cake. I don't think La Morena provides any of this. I would recommend having a party here. The space is good for around 100 guests. I'm not sure what the cost per person is. Overall, a good experience!

I love the food. The service is good. However, the Downs Syndrome girl who seats the customers is stubborn and gets angry if you want to sit at a different table than she has chosen for you. She yelled at me because I wanted to sit at a table that wasn't against the wall. She has a disability. She should be supervised and not allowed to be rude to the customers. It was embarrassing and it ruined my peace. I am not going back. I predict this girl has caused many people to not come back for rude treatment. I have had several run ins with this girl. I am tired! There are other places to eat. I think it is nice that the Downs Syndrome girl has a job. She needs supervision!!!
