I don't know why, but I really appreciate authentic Mexican food, and Lorena's delivers on every level. Definitely worth going to, even if it's a bit out of your way!

For many years, my friends have gathered to swap tails and view our photos in King City during our annual get-together in October. Our tradition is to eat good Mexican food and Sinaloense never disappoints! Our tastes vary and there is variety for all, from tortas and burgers (both excellent), to traditional tacos, enchiladas, burritos and seafood, also! The staff always seems to accommodate us all as we drift in in waves of 2-3 to 5 & 6 at a time and we rearrange their tables. Though the dinning room is small they always seem to manage. There's both a good selection of soft drinks and more importantly, Mexican beers. The prices are a little more than last year, but it's still a good value for good and filling food!

The food here is so-so. I've wondered if all the Mexican restaurants in King City get their food pre-cooked from the same source, as it all looks exactly the same. Service was grumpy, we'd interrupted their TV show. Water glass was never refilled, and we had to hunt for someone to give us our bill. I'd never go back.

We were pleasantly surprised to find this restaurant in the small town of King City. It's just a storefront place with formica tables, and very clean. Service is friendly and helpful. Servings are large. I had two cheese enchiladas served with excellent whole pinto beans, rice, and guacamole. Very tasty. My wife liked her fish tacos.

The food is pretty standard Mexican restaurant fare, well prepared and tasty. We ordered the machada con huevo and a combination plate with a chile relleno and beef taco. The servings are big, lots of beans and rice with the main courses. Both the machada and the relleno were very good. However the service was poor; one waitress was really struggling to cover all the patrons, which meant that we sat without drinks for a while, and then had to wait to order for another long period.
