It would be hard to be completely objective about La Morena because that is where Two met one another for the first time...Yes, the first date was in a BYOB fluorescently lit tacqueria in Hatboro over refried beans and OMG One had the pork skin tacos...he was also wearing the suit. Was it love at first sight? That's our secret. Will you love this restaurant? Yes, especially if you have been to Mexico and eaten in the simple restaurants there, as this will be the food you remember. The menu has the usual tacos, burritos, and enchiladas along with homemade sauces both red and green. The sauces reminded us of the "gravy" that is so common on the plates in Mexico. The other things that stands out - or down - as the case may be is the height of the food on the plate. Everything touches and pools and settles together into a low, homey, sauce covered melange on the plate in a manner so common to this kind of Mexican cooking. One had chicken with mole nestled up to his slathering of beans and rice along with fresh corn tortillas. It was excellent. The mole tasted home made and had a smooth balance of cocoa and chile. Two had the enchiladas with chicken and with beef along with both red and green sauce. The combination was wonderful as well. Absolutely order the gorditas as an appetiser for two and ask for some red sauce to go with them. They were the best part of the meal. Our recommendation is to order a bit of a variety of things and share. The staff is friendly. The decor is basic. The vacuum will shoo you out at nine, but if you are longing for the food you had in a lonely taqueria in Mexico, give La Morena a visit. We give La Morena
