Lorena Restaurant

On our way to the National park last week, we randomly stopped at this roadside place for lunch. Didn't have much expectation, we were very happy and satisfied with the food and services. I ordered chili relleno and hubby had two crispy tacos; one chicken one carnitas, both came with rice and beans. We were blown away by how fresh and tasty both of our dishes were, we pretty much cleaned our plates even the rice and beans which we normally don't care and contemplating another stop on our way back. Although we are not qualified to judge Mexican food, we thought this was one of the best we've ever had. The lady owner Lorena was very pleasant and friendly, we so wish that we have this caliber of Mexican food near home.

Excellent little Mexican spot! Came on a beautiful day and enjoyed Modelos on the patio.

One of my favorite places to eat! I love their chicken soup and their carnitas tacos are to die for! I literally crave Lorena's at least once a week. Service is always exceptional and the food is always fresh with amazing flavors. Seriously try the carnitas tacos or torta!

The food here is amazing! I have tried many different things from their menu and nothing has failed me I absolutely love the crust service as well! Thank you !

Mediocre food ridiculously expensive prices, we were charge for $4.75 for a refill on chips before a meal came and the waitress never said anything about it. Never again!!!

I know this review may be premature, because I'm reviewing my to-go order. I used to come to this restaurant over 15 years ago when it was open late night after some partying called for tacos. The food used to be so darn good. Fast forward to 2016. The restaurant is fairly small and tables filled up quickly as were waiting. The menu still looks bomb and Yelp pics were nice. Problem is, we were trying to leave town in a hurry and decided to stop and pick up something good for the road. Our order wasn't car-eating friendly should I say.Perhaps I should have asked for the burritos we ordered to be wrapped in foil. They came in a styrofoam container with pickled jalapeno and carrots and large piece of lemon. The burritos were decent, but they were mostly rice. The child bean burrito was filled with really runny beans and when I cut into it to get a taste, the beans came bursting out of the tortilla. It was a big mess. The one thing I liked was the chips that came with the order. I could dip for days with those chips. They were light and crisp. Maybe one day I'll come back, sit down and get a better result.

Been told they have great authentic Mexican food. Been wanting to go. Finally stopped in for late lunch with my baby girl after getting back from Comic-Con in SD. Only one table occupied. Good parking. Place clean. Bathroom clean. Waitress really nice. We ordered three types of tacos (carnitas, tripas, and adobado). I wanted menudo which they serve daily, delicious, great flavors and portions. Flavors comparable to Mexican food in SoCal Chips and salsa. Little bit of a wait but expected, not bad. Affordable! Will definitely come back.

I had the unfortunate fortune for choosing this place for lunch with my boyfriend. Food came out quick, with that being said, there isn't much else I can say positively about this place. The lady at the register appeared to be in a bad mood and gave us an unwelcoming vibe. She rushed us along the ordering process and similarly did the same as we paid. Food was flavorless, beans were too runny and food was cold. Salsa was okay. I wouldn't recommend this place unless quality isn't much of a concern for you.

First off the service was great, very welcoming and professional. I ordered the garlic shrimp that came with rice and beans. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, flavorful and loaded with garlic. I ordered a Red beer a I'd say it was really good, I'd definitely come back

Very rude waitress the older lady with glasses.My husband informed her of bad ceviche of fish and all she said " il take off you tab" my husband explain not needed we can pay, im not trying to get free meal you need to be more careful what you serve. Waitress replied " if you go to Dr bring me the bill i will pay"!!! Until a heated argument over her comments she made is when waitress then said " im sorry for the bad fish we will make sure we take bad bath out " Seriously bad experience !
