" An excellent Mexican restaurant with a variety of options. The carnitas are my favorite. The portions are quite generous, and the prices are very reasonable. I did encounter some delays in service, but the quality of the food genuinely made it up. I will certainly be a repeat customer due to the food's authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Las Morelias is definitely a place worth trying! The quality of the food is outstanding, especially the freshly made tortillas paired with their well-seasoned carnitas. The ambiance was welcoming, although slightly cramped in spots. Service was slower than I hoped, but the staff was friendly and attentive when approached. Overall, I had an enjoyable experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for genuine Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been here a couple of times, each experience was delightful. The highlight remains the carnitas, juicy and flavorful. There’s a nice salsa bar to complement the tacos, and the homemade tortillas are particularly noteworthy. However, I’ve had a few experiences where the waitstaff seemed overwhelmed during peak hours. It’s not bad, but it’s something they could improve for a better experience. Still, I will keep coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" A quaint little spot with a wonderful selection of authentic Mexican food. The carnitas are to die for, and they have a decent variety of salsas. The service was friendly but not very efficient. I believe some staff could use a bit of training to improve speed. I would recommend this place to anyone craving good Michoacán-style food. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! The tacos had amazing flavors and the portions were generous. It felt like a family-run spot with a joyful vibe. I was amazed by the quality of the food for the price. I believe they can sometimes improve service times, but it’s worth the wait for such delicacies. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*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*)
