Taqueria Morelia

I've lived in homestead all my life (28 yrs) and I recently started coming to this restaurant about two months ago because many of my friends had recommended it. Prior to this I would go to Florida city and Krome ave for Mexican food. But this place is now my #1 go to spot for all Mexican food. I used to go to one spot for tacos and another spot for burritos and another spot for tortas/chimichangas but this place has it ALL and it's ALLL SOOO GOOOD. Now I can finally go to 1 place and know that no matter what I order it's going to be amazing. The restaurant is also spacious so it doesn't feel like you're sitting right next to people and the atmosphere is great. Everything is clean, even the bathrooms. And the music that is played is authentic Mexican music. I normally order the Al Pastor tacos and get it without pineapples but you can have pineapple with it if you want. The meat is super flavorful and they really fill the taco with mucho carne. My dad normally orders the same but today he got the fajitas and according to him the shrimp was very fresh and plump and juicy and high quality. They also have a little condiment bar where you can serve yourself pico-de-gallo, cilantro, onions, salsa, and many other things. This is definitely my go to Mexican spot from now on. 10/10 would recommend to anybody.

A cozy, family-run spot offering authentic Mexican cuisine. The staff was warm, attentive, and truly kind.

I ate here with my family and friends. Diana was our server. She was okay and did everything in her power to right any wrongs. Our food came out really fast and was really delicious. Portions are very decent. Definitely a good place and will recommend to friends.

food is amazing. come in with a big group and sit at 2 different tables (two separate booths) and they didn't let us split it in 2 checks. which i understand if you can't separate into a bunch of checks, but not even two? i get it cause we are a bunch of young people that walk in for a big table . we even came in 2 cars, two separate booths and we didn't even eat together, and we all have to pay in one check. it made the environment uncomfortable. i have never had a problem with splitting the checks in 2 until now. i'm going to come back next week and ask for the check split in 2 and see what they do. **EDIT:** update, came back with a big group, the lady recognized me. the same waitress waited on our table. she let me split the check in 2.

We drove from Miami with the highest expectatives, but sadly, the personnel were not well instructed and didn’t let us in. With our SERVICE DOG. We told them that is illegal to not let the a service dog in. We decided to leave and not argue.

The service and the food was ok, however, we ordered a guacamole, which came in a small bowl, no tomatoes, no cilantro or lime, it was just avocado and onions, and they charged us the price of an entree, which was $12.99 for a side of guacamole. We asked the waitress because the menu did not have a price, and they stated that it was based on market price. Soooo, even if they paid $3 per avocado, and there probably was one avocado, they made a big profit on this one and I feel robbed. Should I have known that, I would have only ordered a few slices on the side. Will not go there again. The waitress should have disclosed the market price up front.

Taqueria Morelia is the real deal! The food is delicious and the portions huge! I ordered the Burrito de Birria, massive and tasty. My son ordered the Alambre and he was only able to eat half. My wife ordered 3 tacos de Birria and so good!! They play killer Mexican tunes as well. It's not cheap, but, remember, you can get two meals from each dish (except maybe the three tacos) we are definitely coming back! We drove 30 minutes from Cutler Bay but it was worth it.

Food was pretty good! My husband ordered Enchiladas suisas and I ordered barbacoa tacos. Service is not great and the atmosphere isn't special. Overall it's all about the FOOD.

I was hesitant to come here based off the reviews. But trust me when I say this place is DELICIOUS. We started with the choriqueso, i wish i got a pic of it because it was the best one had and i go to Mexican restaurants a lot. The triple especial will feed 2 people and have extra. For the price.. in my opinion is pretty decent. FORSURE WILL BE COMING BACK.

We stumbled upon Taqueria Morelia, and it turned out to be delicious! We were seated right away for a party of 5 around lunch time. I had the flautas de res, and my husband had the enchiladas de pollo. Both were very good! I think I liked the enchiladas best. And the refried beans were my favorite part of the meal. The one complaint is that the service got pretty slow once the business of the restaurant picked up. It took a while to get waters and the check, but other than that, Taqueria Morelia was awesome!

Great customer service but the prices wasn't fair. Cost $20 for 3 birria tacos!! My burrito was $15 but it didn't came with no rice or beans... the ambiance was empty around 3 p.m. on a weekday overall it was okay, definitely not coming back due to the prices.

Very solid Mexican restaurant in Homestead! We came here on our lunch break; the restaurant is clean and the waitstaff is friendly. I will critique the playlist.. the wifi was very spotty making the music go in-and-out and at one point carnival music was playing LOL. Anyways, thumbs up for a snack to start....they serve chips and salsa. We shared the birria tacos, filled with pulled beef and a delicious dipping broth. Very good. I had the alambre, which is pretty much meat on a plate with cheese. I beleive it was 3 different types of meat, one being bacon, and the flavor was insane. I topped it with some of the various salsas at the condiment bar! It comes with tortilla so you can make little tacos! So yummy. My coworker had a shrimp quesadilla. He is a supertaster and reported the shrimp to be seasoned exceptionally well! Very good!

I've been here a few times and I can say it's authentic and it has been packed on the weekends when I have visited. It's located in a strip mall and I've heard from different people it's one of the better locations for real Mexican food in the area. I should maybe order the tacos next time, the food is good but not amazing.

Amazing home cooked Mexican food and decently priced. We go very often. Never had a bad experience or bad food here.

Craving tacos in homestead ? Head on over to Taqueria Morelia ! There are a few very good and solid spots that make good tacos in Homestead. Taqueria Morelia is one of them that stands out. It is nestled on the side of a gas station in a spot with some sit down space if you want to eat there. On to the food! I think what makes Taqueria Morelia stand out is the extensive condiment/sauce/ topping bar they have. They serve you the tacos bare just a good tortilla and some wonderfully seasoned meat. Then it's up to you to top it to your liking. I ordered Tripa, Carnitas, Al pastor and Carne asada. And I enjoyed them in that same order. The tripa was my favorite. It was crispy and fused excellent with the onions, cilantro, green chili sauce and red chili sauce I topped it with. So go on and check them out if you're in the mood for some delicious tacos. Now, don't forget to stop at the topping bar and get your fair share of those taco essentials !!

Service is great and the food is delicious. The food has lots of flavor regardless of what you order. The birria taco were delicious. We also ordered guacamole as a side.

Es muy tardado. Dilatan más de 30 minutos para llevar un servicio. No me gustó. A lot of time to serve the food. I didn't like it.

Food came out hot and timely. It was only maybe a 10/15 minute wait. All our meals were greasy, but still good. The drinks weren't very cold. The building was packed (it was a Sunday afternoon) but we were still well attended to. We will come back again.

Amazing/tasty food!!! Great service and very good portions. One of my go to spot in homestead.

Great authentic Mexican food the real deal. Their Menudo is the best great service and great food. You can't go wrong with Taqueria Morelia make sure and ask for Liz.

Don't be put off by the next to the Valero gas station physique- this is a genuine Mexican restaurant with nice choices and big portions. It has a small inside dining area with lots of extra onions and hot spicy condiments at a little bar. Pretty yummy with a small portion of chips and pica de gallo for dipping. Pricey for the location but not for the food quality and portions. We split a meal and we're full.

This has to be my new favorite taco place. A friend of mine invited me and hyped it up, saying that it was great and he wasn't exaggerating. The food was over the top amazing the service was really good and the price was perfect. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good authentic taco

Food is great. Service not so good. They take too long for lunch time. We waited about 15 min to be acknowledged. Then 15 min to get the food which is ok. Did not see the server until I was done. No water for 25min. Restaurant is clean restroom are also clean. An good clean space

Stopped for a quick breakfast at 8:30 am and the staff was welcoming and ready to serve us a delicious Mexican breakfast - Birria Tacos and a Beef soup. Both were delicious! The place was super clean and I highly recommend if you are looking for delicious Mexican breakfast. The other meals were just as good just haven't tried them yet. Stay tuned as we will definitely be returning for more.

Good tacos, very nice service. Lots of options at the salsa bar. Recommend if you're in the mood for Mexican food in a relaxed atmosphere.

The waiters were relatively absent during our meal here. I got a corn quesadilla with only veggies. There were not any menu items that were vegetarian so it took some work to figure out what I should order. I had a question on the allergen information on the food, but the waiter left us for so long that I had to go up to the front counter to ask. The chips come in small quantities and are not relative to a shareable size. Overall, the food was good and the help-yourself salsa bar was nice but it missed a lot.

Man this place truly tastes so authentic! I'm so happy this spot exists in my homestead area. I come back time and time again because they truly hit the spot! I love their hot bar that has so many different sauces to chose from ranging from mild to extremely hot! You can't go wrong. Pair your tacos or any Mexican dish with an alcoholic beverage for a true experience! Highly recommend can't wait to go back again!

worst suadero tacos ever . I asked for suadero tacos , waitress gave me something else , I asked is this suadero and she said yes but that wasn't suadero !! I grew up in Mexico City I know what suadero is , and that was super dry , tasted like barbacoa de res . horrible experience not going again ,

The quesa birria tacos could only be better if made with goat vs. beef. Even the consumme was delicious! The bistro was super thin and pretty chewy. The flavor was good but more like jerky. The beans and rice were so so. The tortillas were excellent. The salsa bar was superb.

Awesome food!!!!!!! If you want really good authenticity in Mexican food, this is your place. The taco platter was really good. Service very good as well, when you take the first bite awesome... brings memories of a good taco cart in Mexico City. Great food and great service!! Thank you Michelle and our waiter Diana!!!!! We will definitely come back!!!!!

Authentic Mexican dishes, love the salsa/condiment bar, fresh and delicious. My favorites are the cheese stuffed poblano pepper with rice and beans, steak burrito & Mexican nachos. Family style, dinning, good atmosphere, ample parking. Today service was great, however does get packed on weekends.

I came for tacos and ended up drooling over the menu and ordering a sope with a side of rice & beans. It was delicious!! My friend orderd tacos and let me try, they were also amazing. My family says itstheir fave spot for tacos because they have this side bar with the best salsa and taco dressings. I also had my eye on the flautas that looked amazing. One note, they get busy so prepare yourself if you go on a Sunday afternoon. They have an open parking lot and it's easy to find. I also think it's an easy family meal as they have a kids menu.

This food is terribke for how expensive.... My chicken was so rubbery it fell out of the batter... the first time i went i ordered regular chicken and it had bones and fat all in it and now i go i get a chicken patty and it feels like a tire

It use to be good but I will never eat here after they want to sell everything separately. If you order something it should come with rice and beans and tortillas. I'll be taking my business somewhere else.

Taqueria Morelia MY OH MY. This restaurant was heavenly! Staff was friendly, and allow you to seat where you would like. They give you sauce cups for refilling. The sauce station varies from guac, cilantro, onion, mild sauce, spicy sauce, lime, etc. Now the BEST part is 3 Quesabarria Tacos w/ Chicken + Consomme; the chicken is easy to chew, and pull apart yet I suggest you dip it into the Consomme. Consomme is a Mexican soup dish that's for special occasions, and known to be dipped with tacos. It is dark, savory, mixed with cilantro/onion/peppers, and does get messy so make sure you have lots of napkins. Lastly; Quesadilla is BETTER than any Mexican restaurant I been to. It was on the smaller size, yet great with chicken. (IMPORTANT) Menu included in photos. Keep in mind this restaurant makes it fresh & homemade so it is DEFINITELY worth the wait in my opinion.

The Alambres are delicious. The pork one is slightly better than the steak. Though for the steak some of the meat was a bit tough and chewy. The enchiladas verde is good. Burritos are okay. They are kind of one texture. There isn't enough veggies or cheese to change the texture. The queso fundito is terrible and the guacamole has way too many onions. Compared to other Mexican places in the area this one is quite expensive.

Michelada CHEF'S KISS. I ordered a burrito al pastor and it was very flavorful so so good. Also ordered the Birria tacos and it was SO GOOD. All items on this menu are authentic and delicious. I've heard many good things about this resturant and they lived up to my expectations. I'm definitely coming back very soon.

Their prices have gotten astronomical. It's out of hand. And also I ordered tacos based on THIS photo. So imagine my surprise when I get home and open my taco box and see 3 tacos with just meat. I paid 10 bucks for 3 tacos without a single topping on them. Then the lady has the audacity to tell me "I asked if you wanted containers for salsas".... yes. Because NORMALLY at taco spots, you have all your toppings on it and then have containers on the side for salsas etc. no one ever just gives you completely naked tacos unless they SPECIFY "the toppings are over so you can dress the tacos to your liking." Who the heck in their right mind would automatically assume their taco is just going to be meat and a tortilla??? Very misleading and not at ALL getting the value of what you ordered when you have to do half of their job yourself. Now I had to go through double trips to go return the overpriced and underdressed tacos. No offer to make it right for the mission I've had to go through. Just a refund. Save your money or go somewhere else. Clearly just another company trying to give you as little as possible while charging as much as possible.

Truly authentic Mexican cuisine with spot on customer service. It's always buzzing with people and yet they still provide great service and scrumptious tacos, soups and more! The ingredients are super fresh and you could swear that it's grandma in the back personally cooking all her secret recipes. Check out the fab pics and see for yourself then hop on over there and taste for yourself!

I am not certain if I have ever posted a review on this restaurant before. If I haven't, it's my bad cause this is one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at in my life. This is not the restaurant that you go to for ambience or a date, it's just a restaurant that you drive an hour for just to eat their amazing food. Seriously, their food is worth an hour drive each way. It's especially true because there is pretty much no good mexican restaurant in Miami. I know that this is a controversial thing to say. No, I have not been to every Mexican restaurant on Miami to make that claim but I have been to enough, and still, none compete to the quality of this food. Firstly, they serve all of the typical Mexican fare on their menu. But somehow, even a teaspoon of their homemade salsa is better than any other salsa that I've ever eaten. The chips divine. I ordered the queso & chips as an app and it was fantastic. Totally worth the 3000 calories. And lastly, my favorite item on the menu here, their tostadas. I opted for chicken but you can choose your protein. It's the perfect combination of slow cooked shredded chicken on top of a thin, crispy tortilla with beans, lettuce and a dusting of Oaxaca cheese. I basically had a foodgasm at every bite. They really don't skimp on the quality of their ingredients. My mother had a burrito and she liked it a lot too. I had the other half of the burrito leftover the next day and it was excellent. Very filling, tasty and still delicious the next day. I don't know if anyone will ever blindly drive an hour to this restaurant based on my review but at least if you're ever in Homestead, FL or in the vicinity, take the extra time to stop by this restaurant. You will not regret it.

Best authentic Mexican restaurant you have in Homestead .. I'd take my sons and wife there. If you like a full menu of Mexican dishes at an affordable price you may want to check this place out...even though it was recommended by my wife neurosurgeon , I thank him for it . Great restaurant , if not , the best

I love this place. The food is super good is fresh and authentic. I love the tacos Carne Asada Burrito

AMAZING food! I was hesitant because of the overall star rating at the time I went and because my expectations are high for tacquerias - but seriously amazing food! I had an Al pastor taco (succulent meat with some hint of flame/charbroil texture and savory) and a chicken tostada (seriously the best I have had). AND THE SALSAS! Fresh and the chile/habanero pico left we sweating with endorphins like I haven't had since I was 20. I'm in love. Go there - share the joy.

Not my favorite. Thank God I always check my food. Waitress forgot to mention they don't serve your cilantro or onions. I would've gone home to some stale tacos. Wasn't a fan of their tacos either. Sucks because it could be a hit or mess. Unfortunately it was a miss for me

In the area and always down for Mexican food we came cause eater.com (hit or miss) recommended this place. They were super packed; usually a good sign. We wanted authentic and got more of a generic Tex mex experience. Dishes were bland and or over greasy. Our server was very friendly and fast. Just expected more of an authentic experience when it came to the food.

First time very pleased with service I like the little salad bar with different types of sauces Im not crazy about what i ordered ( Alambrito de steak ) only cause I didn't realized it has bacon and don't like bacon and my la Michelada had too much tomato juice but overall food was good. Will definitely go back to try something different The host Joshua was a very sweet kid and our waitress was super nice as well

One of the best t is spots in Homestead for sure! Everything I've tried so far from this place is amazing. We usually go there with the entire family and we eat real good for great price. We always recommend ordering Alambre with extra tortillas and that can feed two people per alambre. Also their Birria tacos are so good. Burritos are big and delicious. Anything is recommended from this place.

Food is good but the take foooooorrreber 1 hour to give you food wow . Get prepare to wait.

Very authentic Mexican place, almost like eating street carnitas! Good service and food plus you have many add ons included on the side for every dish. Highly recommended if you are in the area

If you want real Mexican tacos, this is the place to go get them. While Morelia is far from fancy, the products they offer are authentic as they come. I've been here a few times and always ordered tacos: al pastor is always great with the sliced pineapple on top, and the barbacoa taco never disappoints. The las time I went with my family, my sister ordered another dish and a side of rice and beans. The rice had a yellow color to it, but lacked any saffron taste. The refried beans were ok. The tacos always come only with the meat you order, and there's a little table with all the toppings you can think of--different salsas, cilantro, onion, lime,etc. I like this because you get to tailor the taco to your taste, but it does seem a bit risky to have it open now while dealing with the leftovers of the pandemic. Service is always ok--not anything I can recommend or go against either. Good place overall.

Disclaimer: I gave this place 5 stars because the food is so damn good and reasonably priced that it trumps the fact that service is so lacking. We came here in a group of 7 for lunch and waited about 40 minutes for a table. They don't have anywhere for you to sit and wait so you're kind of standing there in the middle of the restaurant looking weird. Especially when there's a group, you're just in everyone's way. Very strange lol. The servers are so busy that she often forgot to bring us certain drinks, didn't even start off with our drink orders, so make sure you are prepared when they come over because I forgot to order a drink and realized as soon as she left. Btw, they do bring complimentary chips and pico de Gallo and have a salsa bar for which they bring you little disposable cups. I had the tostitos which is quite simple but soo good. It's their version of nachos. I also had the chicken milanesa torta which is the best Mexican torta I have tried. Everything was so fresh! I live 50 miles from this place and I want to come back; that should tell you something. So in summary, service is subpar (but not the worst) but the food is delish!!

The food here is all amazing. I've eaten here multiple times and I've never had any issues. Unfortunately tonight on 10/19/2022, I had a chicken quesadilla which I've had before here and it has tasted great in the past although, tonight the chicken in the quesadilla taste as if it was rotten. I let my server know who was amazing, got the manager to come over and everything. The server (girl with braces) was very accommodating and attempted to resolve the problem without any concerns. Unfortunately, the manager came over and brought back my quesadilla and stated that the chicken is fine, that it is just the seasoning. That she will have to charge me for the quesadilla even though I am returning it, which is fine okay I don't care I will pay for it because I had a bite obviously. The fact that the manager brought back the quesadilla to my table is ridiculous! The manager even stated that she tried the chicken herself to check...very unprofessional of her, I was in awe she was the manager because our server had more restaurant etiquette than the restaurant's manager. All for a quesadilla that is less than $10...

So recently I sprained my ankle...bad little experience... ruined quite a bit of my plans and left me stuck at home for a while. If there is one thing I hate, is being stuck anywhere. Anyway, one of my friends was so worried about me she made the long journey from the city of progress, Hialeah to the land of gators and farms, Homestead. I really appreciated the gesture and it was nice to welcome my friend into my home. We hung out, talked and had a few laughs. After a few hours, we realized we should probably get something to eat. We ordered from this place. We bought plenty of food... I ordered different types of tacos beef, steak, etc. They were pretty darned good. My favorite, though, was their queso fundido... which was kinda different because it was in a tortilla... I was expecting a dip of some kind. Whatever it was tasty. The meal hit the spot, and allowed me to talk more with my friend. Good food and good friends can make you forget (at least temporarily) your worries. Thanks again Marilu for driving such a long distance to spend time with me.

I went to Homestead to visit a friend who sprained his ankle. I figured I could keep him some company as I know what it's like to not be able to move around. Anyway, because it's Homestead and we were hungry for dinner, we opted for Mexican food. My dear Anthony G. kept hearing this place was good, and as a confirmed person of Mexican descent, I can say it was indeed. We ordered a bunch of dishes. You name it and we had it. Queso fundido, carne asada tacos, carnitas tacos, chicken fajitas, and some sauces that we ultimately didn't end up partaking in. Honestly everything was delicious. Admittedly my favorite was the queso fundido, which was more like cheese in a taco. Seriously. I don't know if they messed up or what for take out, but I didn't care. I loved it. The chicken fajitas consisted of a generous portion. It made enough for two meals for me. I do have to say though, the tacos while tasty, are a little bit small. Good thing we ordered lots. Not sure how dining in is, but take out is terrific. So much so that we inhaled and we have no photos. Oh well. I suppose that's a good sign? It honestly means that we truly did enjoy our food. Until next time, Taqueria Morelia.

Wow wow wow Amazing and delicious food and very friendly service. Found this place on the way back up home from Homestead. Love it i!! super authentic and fresh and the service is friendly and fast. Will definitely visit again soon

Wow! We loved this place. Super friendly service and the food was very good! Recommend

Very good, authentic food. Love the serve yourself salsa area! Ambiance is good for a quick lunch place. Service was ok, they are very busy and you need to flag them down. Couldn't tell you about the drinks, I'm still uncertain what my options were? Portions were very generous, I would go back.
