Reviews For Moreno's Mexican Restaurant and Salsa Bar

My husband and I love this restaurant. The old building it is in is so cool and the food is delicious. So far our favorites are the crispy potato tacos And the quesabirria pizza. The horchata is great and there are so many delicious options at the self service salsa bar. The waitresses are all very friendly as well. I’m always surprised it’s not more crowded when we are there but I do enjoy the low key atmosphere. We will definitely continue to come back here!

I love tacos, could eat them everyday. I've had tacos all across this nation and the best I've ever had was in Laredo, TX... but the tacos at Moreno's are giving my spot in Laredo a run for their money.... Moreno's has some AWESOME,SUPER DELICIOUS Tacos

Loved our dinner at Morenos! Wife had steak tacos and I had the quesabirra tacos. Both were excellent. Lots of meat. Served hot and full of flavor. The rice and beans are quality - not like that cheap kind most Mexican restaurants serve. Chips are tasty and the full salsa bar was fun to try a bunch of different ones. Will def be back - weekly if they start serving fresh margaritas!

Amazing food and service! Waitress was super nice and made us a customized meal because we are vegetarian! The nachos, Mexican pizza, elote, and chimichanga were authentic and delicious! Salsa bar was the icing on top! Owners were super friendly and the customer service was impeccable!

My wife mother-in-law and daughter went there a few days ago the place is excellent! Amazing salsa bar with all fresh ingredients nothing from a can! Owner was on site and introduced himself to us. Family run business affordable prices family friendly great food beautiful ambience and a marvelous selection of foods and salsa! We loved it and are actually on our way back there tonight for another round! This place comes highly recommended has a magnificent ambience and vibe. All that coupled with the downtown Lemont area and great customers and great management is a win-win! Margaritas and RumChata margaritas were spectacular and very affordable there are daily specials on the weekdays Taco Tuesday 2 tacos you can't beat that as of this moment there are two dollars not sure if they are raising their prices in the new year but what a great value!

The Al pastor here is the best I have ever had. It is shockingly good and honestly, if you haven’t tried it, run to this place and get the Al pastor, cause with this flavor, a line is bound to form.

Moreno’s food is high quality and amazing service. The atmosphere is perfect, and empty tables are clean. Even though this restaurant is small, it’s serves great Mexican food while it’s still fresh and warm. I really recommend this restaurant if anybody is looking for something new.

Drove by the area and was hungry and decided to stop in. The restaurant was empty for a Saturday at noon. Music was playing. Art and atmosphere and food very authentic. Food was delicious and their guacamole and chips delicious will I drive an hours to come here again. Yes. They have a salsa bar.
