Morena Restaurant Bar & Cocktails in Shepway

We love Morena’s for both going in to the restaurant and as a takeaway! The staff and owner are lovely, always friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious and fresh and the cocktails are amazing! Highly recommend for any occasion!

I have been a long time fan of Mexican food in Folkestone and there was always only one choice. Going to Morena has made me re-think this however. The staff were nice and friendly, very helpful with queries and always made sure we had drinks. Food came out very hot and very quick. Mexican food is the best when it is piping hot and this did not disappoint. The burrito was so full of good fillings it was hard to finish! Would recommend and will definitely be coming back for more.

Visited here after a recommendation from the owner of the hotel I was staying at. I had very high expectations but I was not prepared for how good it was. First and foremost the staff were very friendly and attentive, something that is sadly missing in a lot of restaurants these days. As soon as I sat down I was offered the drinks menu and that arrived very quickly. I ordered the Chicken Enchiladas and they were so good! The price was very reasonable too. Would strongly recommend Morena!

absolutely tasty food and still hot will definitely be using again

Very enjoyable smokey dishes here 😋

Ordered a few times! Delicious food, quick delivery and the best Mexican around! Cheers guys!

order took forever from the restaurant. not the driver fault

This is by far the best experience I can remember. The owner and his team are the most friendly I have came across in a restaurant. This place was so busy that they hadn't planned for and sent staff home earlier that evening they were so busy and never stopped all night but still had time for us 3 and evening gave my mother a hug at the end. She is a vegan and very hard to please but well she had eaten everything as did my father and me. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough. We're from northern Ireland and staying at a friend's on holiday if you read this please go you won't regret it. Massive thank you to all the staff who was working on Saturday night 26th

Food was delicious, hot and delivered in about 25 minutes which was much quicker than the estimated 60 minutes. Would definitely order from here again.

Oh my, what can I say, first time ordering, delivery was early which was great. Food was piping hot, I even had too let it cool down, we ordered too much, portions we bigger than expected, we even had cheese cake-birthday treat. The whole meal was truly amazing, best takeaway we have ever had, only fault, couldn't eat it all, eyes bigger than belly.. We will be ordering again, but not as much.. Well done too chef and delivery driver, outstanding.

10 of us descended on this restaurant last Friday evening and proceeded to drink fabulous margaritas and tequilas and eat delicious food all night while being served by the generous spirited, patient and friendly staff. Wonderful place, good value, will be returning.

We had the best time. Thank you so much 💓

We had a fantastic evening here on a Friday night. We were a party of 10. We received a very warm welcome from all of the staff. The food was fantastic: fresh, great quality and delicious. The margaritas were wonderful too. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Small but nice Mexican restaurant. The food was very tasty and plentiful. The service was good, quick and very friendly. Gladly again at any time.

Absolutely exceptional food, all fresh and delicious! Staff were very friendly, the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. Cocktails were great too!

We got takeaway and it was fine. The kids chicken burrito, nachos, stuffed pepper, and empanadas were good. The beef burrito and tacos were a bit average. Tender, but fairly frequent chunks of fat as well as being a tiny bit lacking in flavour. I wouldn't order again.

We attended the R&B bottomless brunch here for a Hen Doo and it was absolutely incredible! The music was great, the food was absolutely fantastic, so yummy and brilliant portion sizes and the cocktails were made from scratch and really good quality and kept coming. Highly recommend for a hen doo, birthday or just a girls get together!

Our 3rd delivery so far and all have been delicious.The steak is simply the best. Food arrives nice and hot and decent portions. Phone direct staff are great.

Amazing food, great enchiladas and piping hot, lovely vegetarian option

The most lovely and friendliest staff, all bright smiles and happy. The food was DIVINE. This is coming from a picky eater, I devoured it. The cocktails are also delicious!

Food was cold, tasted horrible, not as described

The best Mexican food we have tried!the chilli and fajitas were delicious. Service was excellent, very friendly. Hope to be back soon!

I arranged a birthday dinner for a friend at Morena, it was excellent. Great communication by messenger, we had the sole use of the room downstairs, we requested drinks to be paid for as we went. Dietary requirements always well catered for. The food was amazing (as usual), definitely some new customers will return. We had a fabulous time thank you very much the Morena team

super quick service - chicken fajitas were some of the best ive ever eaten ( thanks for the extra wrap :) ) - and the atmosphere was brilliant. definitely coming here again. muchos gracias por la comida rica!

This place is absolutely amazing... Recommend to everyone

Delicious! And delivery was great even for a Saturday night. Thank you!

Best takeaway Mexican in town! Trust me I’ve tried they all.

Tasty food delivered hot and fresh

A fantastic place to eat, the food is incredible and the cocktails absolutely lethal 🤣. Friendly staff, amazing service and just a great atmosphere. I would 100% recommend Morena to everyone. I will definitely come back again!

Spontanious dinner out was absolutely amazing, big portions, great flavour, great music and lovely service. Will 1000% be coming back 😍

The food was very tasty, great service and the food came quickly. You could see how the food was prepared. The toilets were clean and they asked about allergies and also vegan things

Booked our work meal here for 14 people and we were not disappointed. Food was fantastic and a charming atmosphere that invites you in. Food wait was minimal and it all came out at the same time so no one was left watching others eat. 100% would recommend and for me personally is the greatest Mexican food establishment that Folkestone has ever had.

Average Mexican. Beer nachos ok but ribs and wings not much flavour and lacked sauce. Burrito was quite dry and all in all ok food but nothing to write home about.

Dropped by with my wife only because it looked busy-had some really great food and cocktails that were the best I’ve ever had. Will definitely go back again-best place in Folkestone.

A fantastic restaurant, friendly, great atmosphere, and brilliant food.

Really good and very hot, will order again

Really nice food and great delivery service! Would order again.

Family meal of 8 people for a birthday celebration. Great food and great staff. Would definitely recommend

Ordered from here for the first time tonight as our usual Mexican had let us down the last time we ordered so we thought we’d get somewhere new Extremely impressed!! Portion sizes are very generous and the food is Devine! Safe to say this will now be our new local Mexican The large nachos were the best I’ve ever had

What a meal! We ventured in and have to say that the service was fantastic, especially with our autistic son. Some people are perfect in the service industry and it's a pity more in the UK don't understand that it's all part of the experience! Anyway, the food was so tasty and rich with flavours, that it was a delight to savour each mouthful. We had whitebait, tacos and empanadas for starters, followed by Chicken & Pulled Pork Burritos and a Salteados. All was absolutely delicious and we left nothing on the plates. The presentation of the food was also pretty damn good and that just sets you up for the experience of savouring the taste of everything. Most definitely a place to return to, especially with friends.

The food was fantastic my burrito was gorgeous and the meat was delicious along with the rice in it, I also got the BBQ chicken wings they were succulent and tender, fall off the bone my only criticism was they were a little weak on the flavour. The empanadas I had the chilli beef with cheese were sublime crunchy shell but cheesey beef on the inside and with the BBQ sauce and sour cream it's perfect bite each time. The guacamole is homemade and you can tell it's spot on, the sour cream and the BBQ sauce, the Pico is lovely but my only criticism here is portion size is small for the cost of it, if they were double the size they would be perfect and if you had refried beans it would be heaven. My dad said the rice was very tasty and better than normal rice, but the chips were overcooked my mum said, they both loved there enchiladas tho my mum was glad to see other veg than the normal peppers, onions and mushrooms in hers and my dad said the chilli beef was gorgeous. Spot on delivery time very quick and hot next is to come in and try it out.

Absolutely perfect loved it 100% will be ordering again thank you

Fantastic all around, would highly recommend to anyone

Amazing! Highly recommended, great staff and great food I'm definitely coming back

Had a delivery, very good. Food hot and tasty thank you 😋

Eating Mexican in England. It was very tasty 😋.

great food, my first time of trying the fajitas amazing 😀

Best fajitas ever, nice guy called Firat, amazing service, will be back!

Amazing food, and service. Definitely deserves 5 stars!

the food was nice and delivered quickly but I got sent a slightly different main course to what I ordered but I was still good

Was great food, would definitely get the Barbacoa beef burger again, 100% recommend

Best pulled pork I have had in ages, great portion sizes and delicious food

Perfectly cooked, tasty meal - was phoned to confirm how I'd like my steak cooked! Turned up quickly and hot despite me living a fair bit away from the restraunt. Excellent all round, would definitely recommend

Food is delicious and plentiful. Delivery is often a little bit earlier than expected as we eat dinner early. Definitely recommend their food.

Lovely Mexican food. Happy service.

Great service and fabulous food. Lovely atmosphere.

Slightly late but apologised and gave us a couple of extra items as well. The food was fabulous 👌

Fantastic food and very quick delivery! Will definitely be ordering again!

I left a review for the wrong delivery, my only concern is how much it's going to cost, my daughter loves the food and my grandchildren from Maidstone are itching to try your nachos

pre ordered for delivery so very happy my food was early. Pleasant courier and the food was great and pipping hot. Will definitely be ordering from here again. Thanks 😁

Tried this last week & it was amazing. This week the meat was chewier and hard to get off the bone - if I'd had this the first time I wouldn't have ordered it again. Delivery was fine, earlier than expected and the driver called as he couldn't find me.

Second time ordering here after the fantastic ribs a few days ago. Now determined to try as much of the menu as possible - so good!

Lovely food and super fast delivery. Excellent.

Brilliant atmosphere, very friendly staff. 👏

Great food and great communication during delivery.

Held a 30th birthday downstairs, the staff and owner couldn’t have been more helpful ☺️ highly recommended!!

This is the undisputed best mexican restaurant in Folkestone. The quality of the food is uncontested as well as the friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Upon multiple revisits to Morena the food has always been spectacular. This will be my go to restaurant on any occasion. You must try Morena. Quality!!!

This was honestly the BEST takeaway I’ve ever had. It was so well packaged and absolutely delicious, such high quality ingredients and flavour. Plus the delivery service was amazing!

Having ordered takeaway meals from here before, my partner and I dined in and we were both impressed with the quality and flavour of our meals. Ingredients and meals can be seen to be freshly prepared and cooked in the open kitchen that is seen when entering the establishment, which makes for a nice experience to 'meet' the chefs. Staff are polite, friendly, clean and tidy. If you're a fan of Mexican food I encourage you to try Morena's

Went with my misses to go and order food to take away, first time eating from here and will definitely be going back, our order was barbacoa beef burrito a pulled pork bbq burrito and chips, was given a pot of their home made chilli sauce, perfect heat. Large portions at a good price, thanks.

We had food in the restaurant recently and everyone loved it. Tonight's order was just as good. Fresh, tasty and massive portions. Highly recommended .

fantastic food, great portion size. our new favourite

Second visit to this great place that deserves all the stars. The food is freshly prepared and the service is great. The staff were great at explaining what was OK for a member of our party with allergies.

Great friendly service and fabulous food. Fresh, tasty and huge portions. Highly recommended 👌

My new favourite Mexican for eat in and take aways. Have been to the restaurant on numerous occasions it has a great atmosphere friendly staff and such delicious top quality food at a reasonable price. When we order a takeaway it turns up piping hot and in super quick time. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Everything about this restaurant is excellent. They catered for my intolerances with perfection and were so amazing about how they handled my food. The staff were all so friendly and got all orders perfect! The food was delicious and the mocktails too! I will 100% be returning here. Highly recommend them 👏

Absolutely delicious, generously-portioned meal! Thank you! X

unfortunately the quality has dropped, one enchilada cut in half and microwaved.

Fantastic Restaurant, great service and most importantly the food was delicious. Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another lovely meal. We'll done

Had a lovely family meal here. The food was great, really worth the money, and the owner was really nice. Highly recommended

Really nice food and quickly delivery, 10/10

Absolutely wonderful. We usually go to another Mexican in the area but this was a lot nicer. Recommend the pork nachos! 👍🏼

Amazing as always , my fave take out by far

Best mexican in Folkestone, really big portions, nice food, hot and ready quickly

went to this lovely restaurant this evening with my partner and it was brilliant! Great menu, delicious food, very reasonably priced and a lovely atmosphere. Staff are all lovely and attentive. We’ll be back very soon! Thank you!

Stopped in last night , great service, great steak, even better price ,it was a two for one deal. If you live in Folkestone this place is well worth a look

We went for my mums birthday, amazing food ,amazing service and fantastic cocktails 🍸 😋

The barbacoa beef soft taco was so tasty!

Lovely experience at Morena! Spot on with a pleasant welcome. Visited on the special two for one steak night and it was lovely to watch it being prepped and cooked in the kitchen. Everything was fresh including the delicious mocktail. The wine was served at the perfect temperature. Very impressed and will be making a return visit soon.

Great food, made a change to have something different. Will be returning to try out some of the other dishes.

Treated my mum and we both really enjoyed our meals. The rice was so tasty. Delivery was really quick and all the food was piping hot!

The food was hot and delivered early, however sadly was not the best tasting, the burrito was a great size but the rice inside was mushy like rice pudding and was bland which is a shame because the bits of chicken had a good flavour, the empanadas where bland and the meat smelt and tasted a bit sour - the nachos where the best part a long with the sauces - was pretty disappointed overall and hoping the rice wasn’t just reheated and the meat wasn’t bad. I’m surprised as they have good reviews.

We were told about this place by a couple of friends. Got to say, we weren’t disappointed! Really lovely food best enchiladas and fajitas we’ve had! Great service and friendly vibe. Will definitely be back.

Great tasting food and plenty of it. Will defo order again!

As always morena never fails, fanatastic food best mexican in towm

Great menu Great service GREAT FOOD WELL WORTH THE MONEY 💰

The food was lovely, the steak with with asparagus was lovely and the garlic butter was a yummy touch, hubby had chilli con Carn and said it was delicious 😋 will definitely be ordering again soon

Second order and it was delicious 🤤

Deliberately ordered something that didn’t have the chilli icon next to it as the kids don’t like hot food. Have never heard of anywhere that even puts chilli in pulled pork so was confident it was a safe choice for them. Upon arrival they got stuck into the chips, which were really nice but after taking a bite of his burger my youngest started yelling in pain and saying his mouth was on fire. Tried myself and I couldn’t eat it either. Waste of money, both meals went in the bin.
