First time here. I got the buffet. They have a great variety of food. My favorite was the tamales. The most impressive was not just the food but the customer service. My waiter was super attentive and very friendly. I saw how he treated all his tables, he made everyone feel at home. THANK U Zack for making my first time at La Morena a great one. Will definitely recommend and return.

First time going for a brunch buffet! There were many choices of food! Mostly Mexican, but a few American favorites. They have TVs all around showing the current football games, and sometimes a local small group of musicians come and play at your table, for a small donation.
