With so many wonderful Mexican food options in Tucson I cant imagine how this place is still in business. This was by far the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten. I would skip altogether.

Came in with my boyfriend to get some margaritas about an hour before close. Carlos was super nice and we had a great time chatting with him at the bar. Definitely makes one of the best margaritas I’ve ever had. We got some food to go and it was delicious. We’ll definitely be back!

Carlos is the best bartender in the world. He makes sure the drinks are on point and the food is not disappointing. Great place when sit at the bar with Carlos.

Don’t come here. Ordered bean and cheese chimichanga and got just beans. How do you mess that up. 2 ingredients. Also ordered side of rice and got refried beans. Is beans all they have or something. Not coming here again.

Love this restaurant but ordering to go you only get one little salsa for your family . I’m not cheap I don’t mind buying it but just seems a little greedy . What Mexican restaurant does that come on at least one per plate .

FOOD POISONING!!
****Cockroaches seen running around - PLEASE READ OLDER REVIEWS WITH THIS, BIG BIG ISSUE HERE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN TAKEN CARE OF!!!! ****

Went to eat with my family on 6-7-25 was excited to eat here since I didn't have anything to eat before then. Service was terrible, lots of new employees and supervisors. Food was cold not good. Later on that night I became violently ill with food poisoning. I had sulfur burbs followed by throwing up and diarrhea all night. I have been a customer of this brand for over 20+ years! I WILL NEVER EVER GO TO THIS PLACE AGAIN!! THEY HAVE A NEW MANAGER WHO IS THE IDIOT FROM THE INA LOCATION. STAY FAR AWAY

It was like we didn’t even exist. Had to ask multiple times for a drink refill that took eating my entire meal to get refilled. Food was not great either who serves a chimichanga plain with just lettuce, no sour crème, no guacamole. I’ll never be back

Got sat down, waited almost 15 minutes, and no service. When we got up to leave, then someone came up to us and apologized. But by then it was too late. Horrible service, especially since it was not busy at all! Never going back.

Have loved Molintos since the early 90s The last 2 times we went we have been very disappointed. I hope they go back to the way they were

Some things never change. This location consistently has slow service by servers who act like they couldn't care less.

We moved out of state a few years ago and we always make a point to visit El Molinitos for dinner when we come back to visit. It never disappoints! Great food!
