| - Moreno's is a staple in the ghetto part of Mesa. It's the type of place you go when you're craving some good, greasy Mexican food, and don't particularly mind the thought of getting mugged or having your car stolen. This place might not win awards, but in the realm of hole-in-the-wall Mexican, they are at or near the top.
Of course they're known for having Sonoran dogs. Their Sonoran dogs are a reasonable facsimile of what you'd find in Tucson, but if you're expecting it to be as good as El Sinaloense Hot Dog Cart, you'll be disappointed. This is simple a satisfy-your-craving type of Sonoran dog.
While I usually grab a dog or two when I'm there, where they really shine is their tacos. They have, of course, the boring carne asada, etc. that most gringos like, but they also have pretty good lengua tacos, and their tripa tacos are phenomenal (I have a very hard time convincing any of my white-bred compatriots to try the tripe tacos, but seriously, people: if you like bacon, you'll love the tripe tacos).
They do have much of the standard Mexican fare... Burritos, etc. They have horchata, jamaica, etc. I usually prefer to stick with the bottled sodas: Jarritos, Manzana, and my personal favorite, the Mexican Coke in 16-oz bottles.
Writing this is actually making me really crave one of those tripe tacos.
