Moreno-Garcia began her career publishing in various fiction magazines and books, including Exile Quarterly. She was a finalist for the 2011 Manchester Fiction Prize. Her first short story collection, This Strange Way of Dying, was published in September 2013 by Exile Editions. Her second collection, Love and Other Potions, came out in 2014 from Innsmouth Free Press. Her debut novel, Signal to Noise, was published in 2015 by Solaris Books.
She serves as publisher of Innsmouth Free Press, an imprint devoted to weird fiction. With Paula R.

With Orrin Grey, she co-edited Fungi (2013), a collection of "fungal fiction". With Lavie Tidhar, she edits The Jewish Mexican Literary Review. In 2016, she won a World Fantasy Award—Anthology for She Walks in Shadows.
As of October 2019, Moreno-Garcia is a book columnist for The Washington Post.
In February 2020, her book Gods of Jade and Shadow was announced finalist for the 2019 Nebula Award for Best Novel.
Moreno-Garcia's novel Mexican Gothic was published in 2021 to acclaim and received multiple awards and nomination. Mexican Gothic was selected for the 2023 edition of Canada Reads, where it was championed by Tasnim Geedi. Moreno-Garcia's 2022 novel The Daughter of Doctor Moreau was also announced as a 2023 nominee for the Hugo Award for Best Novel. Moreno-Garcia's novel Silver Nitrate was published in 2023.
Moreno-Garcia's 10th novel, The Seventh Veil of Salome, was published in August 2024. Kirkus Reviews called the book a "rousing success", noting the 1950s historical drama's strong Golden-Age inspired dialogue and suspense.
The New York Times reviewer Lauren LeBlanc wrote of Moreno-Garcia's writing, "Books that skew more cinematic than conventionally literary are often dismissed as formulaic, but in Moreno-Garcia’s skillful hands, you’ll find the satisfaction of richly drawn characters, saturated settings and deftly constructed plot twists. Inhaling her backlist has been the unexpected delight of my summer. No matter the genre — gothic, horror, noir — she’ll embody its essence with a verve all her own."
