You have been studying/working/shopping hard all day and right now, all you want is a rolled taco and a margarita. Hey, that is a completely natural craving when surrounded by the best Mexican food this side of Baja. May I suggest satisfying that desire with a stop at Moreno’s Mexican Grill, located east of the Light Rail stop at University and Rural Road, next to Club Tattoo. Although this spot has been home to many establishments in the past here is hoping Moreno’s is a long lasting venture.
The food at Moreno’s is fantastic, no heat and serve here everything is fresh and ready to be devoured. On the day I was dining at Moreno’s I saw several tables with single people. This could mean one of two things: there happened to be several single Sun Devils trying to find a companion who also had a love for delectable Mexican fare OR the place is so good there is no problem eating alone and you don’t have to share the fresh chips and savory salsa. My guess is the latter. Moreno’s is so close to campus it practically begs you to take a load off and have a siesta before the long afternoon of dry professor banter begins. The cool air conditioning will shelter you from hot, hot Tempe heat while the sizzling deals will keep your wallet from sweating bullets. Every single day is a new opportunity to save money, daily specials such as $1 tacos on Wednesday to Happy Hour from 3-6PM and 9PM- Close, Monday thru Friday offer half price cervezas and half price appetizers as well.
Soon to come this fall is a renovated patio and a new bar inside, the perfect spot for day drinking before a Sun Devil football game just got better. The staff at Moreno’s is so friendly, and they want to be your friend…on facebook! Find them and get even more money saving ammunition as they offer extra coupons online. If you are not getting some kind of discount when you eat here then may I suggest getting back to that Econ class you keep skipping. One last thing, no one likes to sit next to a guy with tequila breath so chase that margarita with a taco please.
