El Molino Restaurant is a well-known spot in Little Village, famous for its variety of delicious tacos, including carne asada, carnitas, barbacoa, and cecina. The food is consistently tasty, with slow-cooked meats and homemade salsas that add to the flavor. Customers especially enjoy the tacos al pastor and tacos con pollo, which are described as outstanding and very tasty. The beans and rice are also well-liked and add to the satisfying meals. The restaurant’s specialty is carnitas, which has earned it a reputation as the Carnitas Kings in Little Village for many years. The small joint has been a part of the neighborhood for decades, maintaining a cozy and welcoming environment. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere remains warm and inviting. While there have been some recent complaints about takeout, including dry and hard food with no tortillas or lemon, the restaurant's dedication to quality and tradition continues to shine through, making it a beloved local favorite. The dessert options include regular flan, which is considered average, and the Flan Napolitano, praised for its dense, smooth texture and perfect balance of flavor and sweetness.
