" I had high hopes for Las Morelias after hearing so many good things, and they didn’t disappoint! The carnitas were the best I’ve tasted outside of Michoacán. The only downside was the long wait for the food—maybe the rush was too much for them. But it was worth the wait. The atmosphere was super casual, which I loved, but it could use a bit more decoration to really stand out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent tacos! The best thing was the freshness of each element. The salsas added flavor without overpowering the dish. I highly appreciated the cleanliness of the restaurant too. However, I had a bit of a hard time finding parking, and it was a little tight inside. Regardless, I’d still consider this place for my next taco outing! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience overall. Love their carnitas and the way they incorporate various salsas with the tacos. I do wish the seating was a little roomier, but it did not diminish my enjoyment of the meal. It's a convenient spot and I look forward to coming back for more tasty tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pleasantly surprised by my first visit to Las Morelias. The carnitas were out of this world! Perfectly seasoned and tender, it felt like biting into a slice of Mexico. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was just right for a casual evening with friends. I highly recommend their tacos, especially with the homemade salsa. I could have eaten there every day! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me tell you, the food here is fantastic! The flavors are authentic, reminding me of my abuela's cooking. I had the huarache with carnitas, and it was divine. The staff could be a bit more attentive in service though. The setting is cozy, which adds to the charm, but the portions were a bit overwhelming! I couldn't finish my plate, which was a good thing really, as I had leftovers for the next day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Exceptional carnitas, the flavors were authentic and rich. I particularly liked their salsa selections which complemented the meal perfectly. The vibe is laid-back and welcoming. If only service was more attentive, it would have made my experience even better. Worth returning for sure, especially for that 1lb carnitas special! " (*Curated Review*)

" Las Morelias has quickly become a go-to for me. The tacos are delicious, with vibrant flavors. The homemade salsa bar is a nice touch, especially the spicy red salsa! The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, perfect for a quick bite with friends or family. I love the portions—big enough to share or take home for lunch the next day. Highly recommend to anyone in the area! Get the carnitas! " (*Curated Review*)
