" The service has always been friendly, but I do feel like they sometimes cut corners on timing. I waited longer than I would have liked for my fish tacos during lunch hour. That said, the food was fresh and flavorful, and I definitely recommend trying the carnitas taco—so tender and delicious. I'll just plan to visit when it's less busy next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Morenita is my go-to spot whenever I'm craving Mexican food. The carnitas tacos are simply the best I’ve had, and the salsa is a perfect complement. However, I've noticed that during peak times, the wait can be longer than expected. The outdoor seating is nice when the weather is good. Definitely a place worth your time! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Morenita is a fantastic food cart! Their tacos are the best I’ve found in Portland so far. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the flavors were spot on, and everything was authentic without being overly spicy. If you're new to Mexican food or a seasoned pro, you’ll find something to love here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing experience at La Morenita! The tacos were authentic, fresh, and bursting with flavor. I tried the carne asada, and it was superb. My only complaint was that there was a slight wait for my order, but with good food, patience pays off. Both the staff and the atmosphere are welcoming—definitely a place I'll revisit and recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I enjoyed the food at La Morenita, there were a few hiccups. The burrito I ordered was delicious, but it was a bit too greasy for my taste. Additionally, my partner’s order came out wrong. The staff was apologetic and quick to rectify the mistake, which I appreciated. Overall, it's a solid place for a quick bite, but I wish there was more consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m originally from California, so finding authentic tacos in Oregon can be a challenge, but La Morenita delivers. I love their shredded beef tacos, and the green sauce is a must-have. The only issue I faced was limited seating, which made it hard to enjoy my meal on busy weekends. However, don't let that deter you; the flavors alone are worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for an authentic Mexican dining experience, this place will not disappoint! The tacos I've had are delicious. The staff is genuinely friendly, and they offer a variety of dishes to choose from. There are instances of slower service during peak hours, but that’s understandable given how popular this place is!
