• 9/17/22Went in for lunch today. I had the Al pastor burrito which was yummy and a strawberry margarita that was quite Gigi's but the real star of the show was my sons chicken quesadilla. It was so good he actually ate the leftovers (he doesn't usually like leftovers). When it came to the table it looked amazing so I tried it and I think it's the best chicken quesadilla I've ever had. Literally eating here again tonight and getting one for myself this time.

• 8/28/25Trying this restaurant for the first time the refried beans were very delicious and spice just right the rice was sort of crunchy. It was not cooked enough. Queso Baria was good tasty the burrito was huge. Cut it in half and two people can eat it.

• 3/17/26Birria Morelos is my GO-TO!! This has become my fav restaurant in the area fo several reasons. The food is ALWAYS delicious, the ingredients are fresh AF, the staff are always friendly and welcoming & the restaurant is clean. Portions on the food, yeah that's huge! I like that I get a lot of food for the amount of money I'm paying. I'm a small woman, and I can eat- never underestimate a 5ft 3" lady who can house some tacos...... :)

• 5/7/24The rice is just butter rice. Literal white rice with butter. The ELOTE? It's just corn on the cob with squirts of mayo and lime. The Tostada? Might as well been a soggy taco that you left on the counter overnight. The Quesadilla? One of mine only had two pieces of chicken.
Im sure it taste SO much better dine in. Taco meat could have been chopped with more effort. Overall bummed out.

• 6/3/23The Margarita Bottle for 36 dollars was a 10z jar. I was extremely disappointed with the size and price of the drink
