Taqueria La Faena is a solid Mexican food spot in Moreno Valley.
The restaurant itself is relatively small with a few tables for seating. The menu has all the classics you would want from a Mexican restaurant and I would say it was slightly more affordable than other Mexican restaurants in the area. My family ordered the chicken burrito, Asada burrito, cheese quesadilla, and a side of tortilla chips. The burritos come with your meat of choice, refried beans, rice, cilantro, and diced-onion. The Asada burrito specifically was very good and the meat was flavorful and well cooked. I liked that instead of large chopped pieces on asada, it was minced into small pieces so the meat wasn't chewy.
The server was nice but one issue we had was asking for no onions on one of the burritos. As the server took the order we asked a few times to ensure there were no onions in the burrito but unfortunately when we got home to eat there were still onions and we had to take our time picking out all of the chopped onions before we could eat. Food was good but still an annoyance that our request was forgotten. I tried all of the salsa available and although good, none were very spicy. Perfect for my family but I ended up using spicier salsa I had at the house.
All in all, it's a solid choice when you're in the area and beats going to any of the chain fast food options. I would recommend checking it out!
