Morralito Mexican Grill

First time visiting this restaurant and I must say I had been wanting to try it out as I passed it multiple times. It was Sunday morning so there wasn’t a crowd. The service was fast and the food came out fast. The best thing that I had was the taco. The other items I ordered were bland. I guess restaurants can’t season food due to lawsuits maybe. The food was hot though. I ordered an enchilada, tostada salad, crispy taco, and omelette. They did have a big bar area and there are plenty of TVs to watch sports on. So if anything, this is a good place to get a drink and watch the game. Got at your risk. Like I said, it does have a nice clean area to eat.

Their spicy margaritas and Micheladas here are bomb. Comes in huge mug and goblet glass. We also ordered carnitas tacos, Al pastor tacos, pozole, fish, cheese burger & fries sprinkled with tajin. All was so good! Their fries was cut in skinny pieces that gives that extra crunch. My son loved it. The fish was delicious, light and fresh. They serve basket of fresh tortilla corn chips and salsa. All food came in big servings. Environment is good, however, the interior lighting could be brighter. Overall, good dining experience for me and my family.

The food here taste like someone's real Mexican mother made it... not that americanized Mexican food. 1st of all. 2nd of all, the Guacamole was fantastic. Also, if you're a light weight stick to beer because the margaritas are strong. I will definitely be coming back. I also really liked that they have legit Mexican music playing but not loud to the point where you can carry a conversation. The artists on the walls are whats playing none of that reggeaton stuff. 👍🏼

One of the best Mexican foods! Great service! Nice interior! Great Menu! Very inviting! Next time when I'm in the area again, I hope to dine in. Rhe restaurant is about a half a mile away from the Duarte/City of Hope Gold Line Station. There are not that many food options in that area. You will need to go either to Buena Vista or Mount Olive dr to get some food. Either way this restaurant is a great option.

Food was absolutely amazing, the mango margaritas, delicious and the service was outstanding. I live locally and have passed this restaurant many times and not sure to try it or not. Anyway, stopped there after seeing the dentist and not only was everything amazing, the price of the check was pretty cheap considering the amount of delicious food we had. Morralito's is definitely one of my local favorite Mexican restaurants for sure. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We were celebrating our Post Master retirement party, we pay 35.00dollars each and they only served one enchilada 1 taco rice and beans,and a soft drink,I ask the waiter if I could have coffe instead he said no, I thought that since we pay so much for the food they serve us the couldn't make an exception and give me the coffee instead, I'm so disappointed at that Restaurant, never going back 😡😡😡I forgot to add that the food was cold😡😠😠

Overall it was a pleasant experience...our busser/server was above par. There was a lot of food our group ordered...I will only mention the huevos rancheros...a bit on the salty side but that was my taste. Not sure for others. I normally do not use salt for my meals at home. So I think it was just me.

FYI Management:
Food was warm. Please tell the chefs to take a few extra minutes to bake the chili relleno.
The salsa water is not salsa. Red water & onions with a few tiny diced tomatoes is not salsa.
AND both toilets did not work in the women’s room. Unacceptable.
All three things are unacceptable.
Why do you want customers to go to other restaurants because of your low standards?
I don’t get it.
However, The female cute waitress was lovely.

I eat there often and order the same plate, Chile relleno with enchilada and it’s a very good choice for me. On this visit the Chile relleno was small in size kind of like a Chile jalapeño. The plate had a lot of rice and very little frijoles fritos. I will go again and order the same plate and I will take a picture to share it with you.

Wondering why the place was practically empty. Only 6 customers in this place. Ordered a Campechana and got a shrimp cocktail with 6 srimp and a glass full of onions, tomatoes and water. Returned it for the actual order. Received a different glass with 4 shrimp this time. The glass was full of the same vegetables but this time it had imitation crab, and a couple of pieces of octopus. It was disappointing. I ate the 4 shrimp, because by then I was starving. Paid the bill after manager took of the cocktail. Left a tip and left. Will not be coming here again.

As a guest of a friend, I found this place to be well run, efficient, friendly, and the food to be more than passable fare.

I had read on "Nextdoor" that this place had various negative issues but, I'll have to chalk it up to some clientele getting worked up over a billing issue. I saw none of that here and I would recommend this place for a nice quiet, and pleasant Sunday night dinner

Went there for appetizers and drinks work friends. We had the appetizer platter which had a nice variety of snack foods such as mini quesadillas, mini taquitos, nachos and such. Tasty. I had a cup of warm Mexican chocolate. Very nice experience, tasty food and good company. We'll probably go there again. They also mentioned they had karaoke with Spanish music, but we did not stay for that. Overall a very nice time.

Service was friendly and attentive . There is nothing bad I can say about the service. The ambiance was that off a Mexican Pueblo, cute and with lots of TVs for viewing sports and things of that nature , But my food was straight up bad. I had the carne asada plate and I don’t think I’ve had a worst carne asada in my life. It was paper thin, chewy and had absolutely no flavor. To be honest it had a weird color and I thought it was gonna make me sick. (Thankfully it did not) It came with rice, beans a bit of salad and some guacamole. The sides were perfectly fine…. But again, just awful carne asada. My wife had taquitos. She said they were bland and lacked flavor. I went with my family, but I think at best, they thought the food was barely okay and at worst , well , it was my bland chewy carne asada. Also, agave in the rear of the restaurant could use some TLC. They were sad looking and wilting. It’s beyond me how they could let’s the agave degenerate into that state as it is a hardy and beautiful plant. All in all, don’t go there for the food. Or if you don’t want to see dying agave plants. (Which again , is crazy to me, cuz they’re so hard to kill. I had agave plants sitting in a plastic bag in my garage , bare roots and unwatered and they still survived and flourished after I planted them)

The name of the place has from El ranchero to the name it has now. The bathrooms were clean but there were no toilet seat covers. We would definitely go again, it's family friendly and you can watch the cowboys game.

As a server I personally expect a waiter to come back within 5 minutes. Just to see about refills .... And once again I had to ask for refills... They were not busy.
There was flies and bugs everywhere flying around. We were inside... ... When i told the server how all the bugs were landing on my food. He just laughed... Smiled... I barely ate my food.. And was really grossed out..

Not that it matters, But I felt really disgusted being here. The servers don't care...
He apologized. But ill tell you this...He didn't care. No one did.

We have been going here for many years. The food is always delicious and the service is great. It's one of our favorite places to stop after a long day at the Santa Fe Dam Recreation park. Giant micheladas, huge appetizer platters, literally everything tastes good. I was a little sad they didn't have lengua tacos, but carnitas are yummy too. I also miss karaoke on Saturday nights, apparently that moved to Fridays, bummer. All in all though, a big table of happy campers.

With so many Mexican restaurants in this area, why go to one that's just "OK?" Too many with great food, I not spending money on "OK." so I"m not returning. I told the waitress too.

Chips tasted old, Salsa tasted ok, it's that runny kind and not that chunky kind that has bits of tomato and onion, and cilantro. I think it came from a jar and not made there. I told the waitress that I thought it was no made at their place and she didn't' correct me.

The tacos were decent. The beans were average but not great. I am very disappointed in this place. When it was the "Ranchero" restaurant it was great! But when the owner died they sold it and then it went downhill. I know it's not very good as not many people were there. I don't see how this place will last given it's bland, mediocre food.

I usually go to Cabrera's in Arcadia on Live oak and the place was packed. I regret going to this place. Yuk. Too bad.
