"Morena’s Kitchen’s homey charm takes hold fast. It’ll hit you as soon as you see all the cheerful flowers, real and not, decorating most surfaces, or possibly the Dominican flag painted over the breaker box. This family-owned Corona spot feels like coming over for dinner to a beloved aunt’s house, where the open kitchen gives her a full view of all the visiting nieces and nephews—maybe snuggling with that rainbow unicorn plushie, or simply swept up inPuss In Bootsplaying on the TV overhead. At Christmastime, they even set up a tree with wrapped gifts for young diners to choose from." - Molly Fitzpatrick
