Morena Restaurant in Shepway

The best Mexican we have ever had! The Chilli and Fajitas were delicious. Lovely, friendly service - we hope to be back soon!

Absolutely loved this gem of a find in Folkestone . Frat the head chef/owner was so warm and welcoming and talked us through his menu for each guest at our table to help us pick what we’d enjoy best - he is rightly proud of his food and created a delicious meal for us all that I’m still thinking of days later ! We will be back that’s for sure ! As well as being being fantastic food with large portions this super independents icing on the cake is the prices are very reasonable and competitive delivering more for your money than with a well known chain. The lovely Manda organised our telephone booking efficiently and was so friendly on arrival - couldn’t fault a thing and I am singing this places praises to anyone who will listen ! Wish we had this closer to home but will look forward to it every time we go to Folkestone 🌮🇲🇽🌯

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

On a whim decided to go out for dinner , 9 pm we arrived and got seated straight away . Food was amazing as usual , the staff are always so friendly and welcoming , great atmosphere Highly recommended They have a room downstairs that you can hire for private functions also

Me and my partner luckily stumbled upon this place on our visit to Folkestone. The food here is amazing! The beef tacos were so good I want to go back already! Really nice atmosphere and the waitress was lovely! Will be back soon!

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.

My wife booked for us and are kids and the grankids for my birthday. Most had 3 courses. I had white bait starter , then chicken wings .the home made chilli sauce was great nice and hot as I like it . Grankids had chicken nuggets and chips with dips nothing hot for them . Older Grankid had chicken burger chips and salad she ate what she could and saved herself for her chocolate pudding. Another had sticky toffee pudding boy did I want that but have to watch my figure . Bev my good wife had beer chilli beef she loves it . My son had pork ribs he cleared his plate along with his other half . All in all very good evening with family. The food was very good, it was nice to have staff that wanted to look after us . All got are food fast and hot . Staff checked we were all ok . All in all very good .

Well what a lovely place to dine ,drink a cocktail or 2 and laugh with my best friend starting the celebrations of turning 40 next month 😍...amazing hospitality from Mr Firat and stunning food full of flavour and great value. Will be back for the big 40 in a few weeks ...couldn't recommend a more lovely place all on our doorstep in Folkestone 🥰

It was my wife’s surprise 50th birthday party and I booked it late, it was a party of 15 and the staff were really fantastic and helpful. We decorated the function room as we wanted. The food was truly amazing, full credit to the chefs and also Amanda and her team serving us with this amazing food /drinks and cocktails. It truly was a remarkable evening everyone thought it was amazing especially the wife. I cannot recommend this place enough and will definitely be going back. We first went there on a offer in October of buy one get one free steak meal, that rib eye steak was superb, the flavour was unbelievable.

Omg this place is an amazing! Amanda made this experience amazing! Amazing food Amazing drinks! If you’re looking for somewhere for brunch look no further this place is the best. My favourite is the cosmopolitan. My friends loved the margarita. ❤️❤️❤️#amanda4lyf

First time visit. Gorgeous, very good quality food. We had nachos which were properly generously topped, burrito and steak fajitas. All very tasty and generous portions. For a bit carried away on the amazing Margaritas. Is open from 2pm which is handy for a late lunch/early dinner. Will definitely return.

Great atmosphere, super clean, such good service- attentive but not over the top. Food was amazing and tasty. Staff were fantastic with my nine year old, who's normally super shy but was confident and happy to order herself. Pudding was massive.

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!!!

Amazing food, and atmosphere as always, Highly recommend this Mexican won’t let you down if you are looking for tasty authentic Mexican food

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 can not recommend it enough

Always love coming here. Consistent, top quality Mexican food. Amazing and friendly staff. Helped set up my partners 30th birthday with balloons and decorations. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back soon 🙌🏼

Absolutely Excellent service and amazing food. Highly recommend, definitely the best local Mexican .

The restaurant is set in the centre of Folkestone with the seating past the kitchen area in what resembles a large stock room with no windows. The presentation of staff was poor with a distinct lack of effort more akin to a greasy kebab place which concerned us but we thought we would still give it a go. The place was reasonably full but the acoustics were terrible and we struggled to hear each other in conversation. It would be better if they put some noise reducing system in place like fabric on the wall or hanging noise reducers in place. Noise just bounced off all walls and it seemed we were sitting in a corridor or large cupboard. Drinks were good but a little pricey especially soft drinks. Food was okay but nothing to write home about. The meat seemed cheap and there was an abundance of additional sauces which overpowered the texture and taste of what an authentic mexican should be. Overall it was slightly disappointing and we will probably not be returning.

Morena is now our local go to for family meals. We love the service and of course the food. We’ve also had a date night so wouldn’t say it’s just for families. Excellent value for money. Can’t wait to go back again. I already know what I’ll be having next time ;)

Best Mexican going! We’ve visited Morena’s multiple times and have always loved the quality of the food and service. Amazing options of food. Burritos, enchiladas, fajitas you name it. Very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend 🙌🏼

Amazing food and the service A* only problem was, we were so full from the dinner (huge portions) couldn’t fit in the churros. Will have to go back for them another time. Amazing place .

Had a fab takeaway from Morena and would recommend. Even though we live 5+ miles away from the restaurant, the delivery was very prompt and the food was still hot! And the portion sizes were massive, we had trouble finishing all the food we ordered. Will definitely be ordering from them again.

Top food fresh , u watch them cook it . The owner cannot do anothe for his customers. Top service , I like it when I go somewhere and after think that was good i really enjoyed that , .cocktails to die for . Not lots of microwave stuff like other Mexicans in folkestone.
