I had a splendid dining experience at this Mexican restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the vibrant ambiance was welcoming, and the friendly staff were incredibly knowledgeable, recommending the perfect dishes that highlighted authentic Mexican cuisine. The standout dish for us was the Steak Picado. Exceptionally flavorful, with a medley of spices playing off each other, the dish was deliciously satisfying. Plus, the portion was quite generous, easily providing enough food for two. Despite such high-quality food and service, the pricing remained impressively reasonable, making for an overall excellent value. If you're seeking an immersive culinary journey into Mexican flavors, this restaurant should be at the top of your list!

There are only two places I love to eat when I visit Moreno Valley. One is Papa's India Grill and the other is Mexican Kitchen. Located right across Cactus Avenue from March Air Reserve Base, this place may be low on atmosphere, but the service is always friendly and the food excellent. I love their cheese enchiladas and always order them with green tomatillo sauce rather than red sauce. Their chip and salsa selection is almost as good. I only wish they added zanahorias, the spiced and pickled carrots, to their salsa offerings. Their chile relleno is also excellent, but it's the enchiladas that keep me coming back. Try them with the green sauce and see what I mean.
