Quick info
About Morena Restaurant Bar & Cocktails
Morena Restaurant Bar & Cocktails sits on Guildhall Street in Folkestone, a Mexican restaurant and bar where the kitchen cooks fresh from scratch, with prep visible to customers. The menu runs from barbacoa beef and brisket tacos to stuffed peppers, nachos, and an oven-baked chilli-infused Scottish salmon served with homemade chilli sauce, sour cream, and coleslaw, and halloumi features as an unusual line for a Mexican menu. The bar pours cocktails alongside, with the house Morena Colada offered by staff. A 50% off food deal runs on Thursdays, and orders go out hot for collection or delivery to nearby Hythe. Dogs are welcome in the room, and a background soundtrack leans funky and upbeat.

- Asia Dębosz
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic restaurant! We ordered the Halloumi, Barbacoa Beef Burrito and Barbacoa Beef Tacos, and every dish was absolutely delicious. The food was fresh, full of flavour, and the beef was perfectly cooked. You can really tell that everything is prepared with care and high-quality ingredients. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and attentive, making us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The restaurant was spotless, with a lovely atmosphere, and the prices were very reasonable, especially considering it’s the peak holiday season. Without a doubt, one of the best places to eat in Folkestone. We will definitely be back on our next visit and highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing Mexican food! 🌮🌯❤️”

“Firstly Wiktoria is my favourite host in the building as she approached me when I walked in! I trusted that this experience was going to be amazing based on the confidence of the Host on the restaurant menu! Firat the business Owner recommended the Morena Colada and it did not disappoint at all! All the food is fresh and prepared from scratch. You can see the staff cooking the food as you wait! Please if you are in town for the day can you make sure to have your lunch or dinner at MORENA. I recommend the Oven Baked Chilli Infused Scottish Salmon, The homemade chilli sauce, Sour Cream & Homemade Coleslaw. I LOVE THIS PLACE ❤️”
