Had some great tacos here! We even ordered extra near their closing time and they were fine to make more! Complementary nachos beforehand too.

Excellent and very authentic restaurant!!! The food is absolutely fantastic. They serve fresh tortilla chips with salsa (red and green). I ordered the mole as an entree which came with rice and beans as well as tortillas and everything was so so delicious. I actually could taste the love and care the food was made with, it was so good!! The young man who served me was so polite, helpful, attentive, and friendly. His family should be very proud of him! They are definitely raising him right. Definitely come here if you want a delicious meal that comforts your soul 💕

Friends in Cape May recommended Morelos and we took a trip over to try their food. The al pastor tacos, fatty beef tacos, and poblanos were lucious and fresh. The tortillas taste home made and the salsas are spicey and delicious. This little gem of a place will keep us coming back.

Everything was fresh and delicious!! Authentic Mexican cuisine. The breaded chicken sandwich was to die for!! Very big portions. You get three big quesadillas and rice and beans which are very big portions. I loved the shrimp tacos which came with 5 taco. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and family.

The whole island lost power in wildwood New Jersey and there weren’t any restaurants outside of wildwood that weren’t full to capacity. We stumbled on the only place in town that would serve us so we decided on takeout as they were closing in 5 minutes, but would accommodate us. Often times the best food are the little hole in the walls! When I say authentic it certainly was, and absolutely delicious!! The burritos were amazing! I had the beef and chorizo burrito and it was a silky delicious! Meats were chopped very fine so all the flavors meshed perfectly! Thank you Morelos!
