" This is hands down my favorite place for tacos in this area. I have taken several friends here, and they've all raved about the carnitas – that's what you have to order! They serve it with fresh tortillas, and it’s so good! The portion sizes are impressive too. The service can be slower at times because it's popular, but that is typical for a restaurant that gets this much love. The micheladas are also fantastic! I can't wait to go back again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Carnitas y Mariscos Las Morelianas has quickly become one of my favorite spots in town! I love their shrimp cocktail – it's incredibly fresh, with just the right amount of lime. I've tried a few different dishes, but the carnitas are always my go-to. Made with authentic recipes, the flavors transport me straight to Mexico. The service is good too, although it seems to fluctuate depending on the crowd. I'm usually happy to wait because the food is worth it. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for delicious Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading the reviews, I finally made the trip to Carnitas y Mariscos Las Morelianas, and I have to say, it was a hit! Upon arrival, the warm atmosphere set the tone. I opted for the seafood platter, and everything was incredible! Each component was fresh, from the shrimp to the oysters. The authenticity of the Mexican flavors shone through every dish. The only downside was that it took a while to get a table, but it was a Saturday night. I would definitely return without a doubt! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this restaurant last weekend after hearing great things from a friend. I ordered the ceviche and was pleasantly surprised by how fresh it tasted. The generous portions were a plus, especially since they had a variety of seafood. Though the service was a tad slow, it was worth the wait for such delicious, authentic food. I loved the vibe of the place, making it feel very welcoming and enjoyable for a casual family dinner. I will definitely return on my next trip to San Diego! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this place after hearing all the chatter about their authentic Mexican cuisine. I randomly ordered the fish tacos, which were decent, though I must admit I've had better. The batter on the fish was a bit greasy for my taste. Service was okay; fairly friendly but lacked speed. I guess it was a busy night, but I felt like my experience could have been enhanced with better timing. It’s worth another try, but this visit didn’t rock my world as I hoped it would. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had lunch here with friends today, and we did not enjoy the experience. Although the food was decent, I found the carnitas incredibly dry, which left much to be desired. The server seemed distant and slow, hardly checking in with us. The restaurant itself was pleasant enough in terms of ambiance but didn’t do much to help redeem the experience. I doubt I would return, unfortunately. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was our first visit, and it won’t be the last! The seafood was incredibly fresh, especially the shrimp, which were perfectly cooked. The staff was very attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The margaritas we sampled were nice and strong, just how I like them! I really enjoyed the clean and lively atmosphere. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)
