El Molinito is a Mexican restaurant that offers generously portioned and delicious food at reasonable prices. The service can be inconsistent, with some customers praising the attentive staff and others experiencing forgetful service. The restaurant's interior could use some updates. Despite these occasional issues, El Molinito has the potential to provide a pleasant dining experience, as some customers have reported enjoying wonderful anniversary dinners there.
The restaurant is known for its overstuffed and delicious tacos, hot enchiladas, and some of the best refried beans in town. The bean tostada is a meal in itself, and the never-ending complimentary chips are a highlight. Takeout orders are consistently fresh and complete, with the staff ensuring the order is correct before it leaves the restaurant.
While the original owner has passed away, the current management has maintained the restaurant's reputation for good Mexican food. However, some customers have noticed a decline in the quality and consistency of the dishes, potentially due to changes in the ingredients or preparation. The restaurant on Oracle Road is still reported to be a good option for authentic Mexican cuisine.
