This place was really good. A good authentic Mexican restaurant. The food was good. The rice and beans could have been alot more hotter but it's okay. I like my food steaming hot. The staff were amazing and the setup of the restaurant was really nice. I will definitely go back. Oh I forgot to mention I went for taco Tuesday. The taco's are 2 in which the prices may vary based on the kind you may get.

I have been to Morelia’s twice now and both times were amazing! Great atmosphere and generous portion sizes. It’s very delicious authentic Mexican food! I am vegetarian and really enjoyed that they had many different vegetarian options. Also, the churros are amazing! Will definitely be coming here again!

Have been going here for a long time and every night has an awesome special. Fajita night and enchilada night are my favorite. Portions are generous and the chips/salsa are impossible to not fill up on! Best Mexican restaurant in Newark by far.

Incredibly friendly service, great food, lovely atmosphere. In town visiting and my family brought me here after many great experiences of their own. What a great choice! Everything was excellent. Highly recommend the La Bamba platter. Delicious.

My husband and I love this place!! We come here often, I have yet to have something I haven’t liked. My husband got the verde (green sauce) steak enchiladas last night, when I say I have never tried enchiladas with so much flavor in my life I’m not exaggerating! The staff is always so friendly!
