We have been to many Mexican restaurants, but this one is worth going back to. I am impressed with this restaurant. We are staying at Chippokes State Park, and this place was recommended to us. I am glad we went. The decor was very well done. Not the typical hole in the wall found in most small towns.
Great first experience. The food was great! Very nice servers. Didn’t have to wait too long.
We came in for dinner after hunting. The chicken quesadilla was great, and the Birria Tacos were ok (Not super flavorful). We had a nice dinner, but we did have to wait a lot between server interactions. Note: This is the first weekend this location was open, so they were pretty packed.. Update: Stopped in again after working on the hunting property and had a amazing experience here. Food was great and our server was on point!
The food was great. I have never seen so much staff with such disorganization. It took forever to get our food and drinks. Shout out to Kevin who helped us with our drinks and brought our food out even though he wasn't our server. He went above and beyond and gave excellent customer service. If we go back it will be because of him.
We were very excited when we heard it was coming. Waited very impatiently. Opening week came for takeout. It was very good, we ordered an off menu item, Fries Texanos. One of our favorite restaurants has that, we get every time we are in McGayhesville. The guy who took the order had to go check, but they did it happily. Ordered again for takeout a couple weeks later. The one at the other restaurant is slightly better, but it was very good. We also ordered a fajita the first time and something for the grandkids each time. They enjoyed. Tonight we stopped in to dine in. My wife had the Taco Salad, I had the Molcajete Morelia. We both enjoyed our meals. Had a lot to take home after. I've read a few reviewers saying the food is bland, my opinion is it has plenty of flavor, it is not spicy like I would be used to in the southwest. But, they are trying to serve to a Virginia crowd. We will definitely eat here again. Oh, my wife thinks the white sauce is just a little spicy. Only issue is the booth we were given was very tight, we ended up sharing one side to make it roomier. Initially it took a few minutes to get the server, but once he found us, we had great service. Second time dining in, took friends from out of town, food was great, we all enjoyed. Bigger table. Went back again. Third time eating in. Much more comfy booth this time. I ordered the same thing, because I really like it. The refried beans tonight were a disappointment, water looking and tasting. Other than that, delicious. I do have to say, three times eating the Molcajete Morelia, each time it was a little different to look at. The first time, the meat was cut smaller and mixed with the sauce and vegetables. The second and third, it was much bigger pieces of meat, but on top. The sauce and veggies on the bottom. I preferred the first time, for ease of eating and for the sauce, meat and veggies mixed together. I mentioned to the waitress this time. Oh, first and second time the roasted jalapeno was sitting on the top, the third time it was split to look like a flower. Trivial, I know, but when you order a meal at a restaurant, I just think it should look the same, each time. So far, three times, three different looks. Flavor was great, just inconsistant looks.
Great new restaurant here in town. Portions were huge and service was pleasant. Will be back
As someone who moved from the NY/NJ area—home to some of the best food in the country—I’m truly astounded by Morelia. The quality, taste, and freshness of every dish absolutely stand up to the high standards I’m used to. It's incredible to have a restaurant of this caliber right here in Surry. Every bite is delicious, and it's easily one of the best Mexican casual experiences I’ve had since relocating.
