La Morenita

I am so happy that I got a chance to try a new market! They have a large parking lot, that's shared with a hair store. There doesn't seem to be too much traffic so you could easily get in and out of here.The store itself isn't anything fancy, but it is authentic. The veggie selection is awesome, they're not selling all of your normal staples but what they do have is of good quality. They have a wide variety of fresh and dry peppers for such a good price. Beautiful bunches of cilantro not like you get at the regular grocery store. A large variety of yogurts. Their meat counter is huge, and reasonably priced. They have fresh corn tortillas . A wide variety of soda. The best part you ask? The deli counter, they have Tortas, quesadillas, flautas, and TACOS ! They're massive too! We got Pastor tacos and they were amazing, and at the end they will load the tacos with onions cilantro salsas and guacamole! For $1.99 a taco you can't beat it!

Love authentic foods so I decided to try the taqueria thats located inside of La Morenita. This is a great opportunity to spruce up on your Spanish as most of the employees did not speak english and the menu is in Spanish too! Nonetheless, the staff was very friendly and served large portions. I got the fajita platter with steak, beans, rice and 5 tortillas on the side. They have a self serve station where you can put your toppings (the salad thats included in the price) and sauces in containers. The food was hot, fresh and flavorful. I did not care so much for the steak. It was more like steakums with few peppers and onions. But this won't deter me from coming back to try some other meat/menu options!

A hidden gem of Baton Rouge! Excellent prices and a clean and tidy store. I came ijust to find some dried chiles (which I was blown away by the variety of!) and left with bags full of produce. Avocados, limes, plantains, cilantro, mangos....all amazing! Definitely going to be incorporating into my regular grocery rotation. I was a little intimidated because my spanish is only so so, but the staff is friendly and helpful. The kind of place i Stan so hard I'll be recommending it to anyone who listens!I

La Morenita has become a place to cure my craving for good Latin American food. Inside the grocery is a deli area where you can walk thru a hot plate line. Fresh corn tortillas are cranked out by a machine. You can eat in or get your food to go. The grocery portion of the store is full of other goodies like pastries, canned goods, mixes and hot sauces. All are from Latin American cultures. Not everyone working here is a fluent English speaker. However, everyone is friendly and helpful. It should also be noted you can even buy cases of Topo Chico!

Best tacos in the city. I used to get my tacos from La Tiendita on Siegen... that was, until I was turned on to this place. Their tacos are so indescribably delicious, complete with grilled onions, jalapenos, and garnishes. Grab an icy-cold Jarritos or other Mexican beverage from the cooler, relax, and enjoy a wonderful meal.

Quick service, great food, and even better prices! So happy to have come across this gem.

Best tacos in Baton Rouge. I've tried so many food trucks, restaurants, supermarkets--and this place is delicious. The meats are so flavorful. Go get some!

Delicious tacos, best prices on produce and spices anywhere. And the meat counter!!! It's heaven

I come here often as they are one of the few places in town with Hispanic foods and hard to find ingredients. They have malanga, Yuka, cactus, and many other things. The also have meat and cold cold deli. It's definitely my go to for Hispanic snacks and candy! The only reason it gets just 4 stars is because the place could be cleaner.

I would recommend this establishment to my out of town family and friends. The service was good, The food that l ordered upon the waitress recommendation was delicious. Truest enjoyed the Key Lime pie for dessert. Because of St. Patrick Day, l presume, it was crowded and the noise level was higher than normal for an establishment like this. Overall, l give it 4 stars.
