The food was enjoyable. I bought the enchiladas with ground beef and refried beans and rice. They advertise that their enchiladas are hand rolled. I've had enchiladas before and the tortilla wasn't thick like the enchiladas I bought here. Which was disappointing because I feel like they're pre-made not really made fresh . Especially since this restaurant has such a good reputation and good. Although I was disappointed about that aspect, I still enjoyed the meal.
I ordered takeout so I didn't really experience the atmosphere nor the customer service, but everyone that I came in contact with was pleasant.

Our server Ryan is amazing, the food is always so good and very consistent. The birria tacos are always great.

Birria tacos are extremely good and service is very friendly and fast. A little bit noisy even with sound absorbing tile and Mexican blankets on ceiling. Decor is appropriately southwestern. The corn and black bean salad was not too 'salady'; I would suggest a lime vinaigrette or something like that. We eat here often now that we live closer.

Sage was a friendly and knowledgeable sever. She guided me through the menu with ease and made my experience a fantastic one. She didn't even laugh when I spilled my water telling a story.

Every time we come here it is absolutely wonderful! The food here is always amazing, plus the staff is always friendly! Madison was our server this time and she was attentive and super sweet :)! Absolutely love coming here.

Had a great, fast dinner at Mojave. We didn’t have much time to spare before seeing a movie, but the food came quick and it was so delicious. I had the chicken-chorizo enchiladas which had a ton of flavor, while my wife had the fajita bowl. Can’t wait to return!
Alex Peterson
Outstanding ambiance and great food!!

Dined on a Friday night, and had Pablo as our server. He did a great job. Food was awesome. Atmosphere was welcoming, and rest of staff was great too
I have been going here for a number of years. Authentic Mexican food, not a franchise chain. My favorite is the chicken hard shell tacos, tortilla soup, guacamole, Mexican salad, Botany, and Cadillac Margarita . We typically sit at the bar. I returned October 24th and had the TexMex Tacos with crispy corn shell, 2 shredded chicken, and 1 ground beef. My order was very good, hot, and good attentive service.
I just had my son‘s baby shower here on October 13. The staff that we had was so sweet and over exceeded all of my expectations before, during and after our event

I wanted to give Mojave Cantina 3 stars, but I could not justify that rating.
I'll start with the customer service. I expect a good mexican restaurant to feel welcoming, like going home to family I haven't seen in a few years. Instead, I walked between a crowd of hosts and/or servers without a simple hello. Which was fine as I was heading to the bar. The bar where I sat for about 5 minutes while every passing employee looked at me without saying a word before the bartender finally emerged to let me know he would be a few minutes. I am typically patient, but when he proceeded to make the mixed drinks orders that had begun to pile up, his inexperience in tending bar was evident. He had a dry and somewhat timid personality and didn't so much as ask how my day was going. I'll say he was professionally polite, but that was the extent of what he offered as far as service. He did know how to pour a beer.
I was there for the food anyway, best in Michigan 4yrs straight! I'm not sure how that happened. I ordered a steak burrito with the cilantro lime rice and beans. The beans and rice met expectations and would get an easy 4 stars. The burrito was approximately 60% rice, which I already had on my plate. The potatoes had a pleasant crisp, but the meat lacked any mexican flavor. I couldn't begin to even detect the guacamole or pico de gallo. I got about halfway through when I discovered a long hair in the burrito. Honestly, I didn't want to deal with sending it back and pulled it right out. I would just expect hairnets in the kitchen to prevent this. They may use them, or they may not. All I know is what I got. It was impressively almost the full length of the burrito. I opened it up and picked around the now soggy bottom of the burrito with my fork. The tortilla wasn't quite authentic and itself lacked the flavor of a nice warm authentic homemade tortilla. All in all, it was just okay, and I'd rather find the closest Chipotle (2.5/5 stars, 3 depending on locaton) than eat here again. Just my personal opinion having spent most of my life in AZ not far from the Mexico border for about 20 years.
The atmosphere was okay, I didn't care too much about it, but the music was too quiet to enjoy. For the amount of business observed during my visit, the over-staffed restaurant just didn't feel comfortable. Bored servers were huddled to the side, just waiting for a table. Decor is good, but not on my list of what I'm looking for.
If you like the bland side of Tex-Mex you might be okay with this location, but I wouldn't call it authentic mexican. If you are accustomed to the southwest mexican cuisine, I would not come here. I think I saw a Del Taco down the road. Now, I'd give Del Taco a rating of 1/5 stars, but at least they meet expectations.
Quick note, once I finished my only beer, it took 6 minutes to be offered another. I got my check quickly, but it did take him an additional 5 minutes to take and swipe my card. If you give the place a try, maybe consider ordering food for pickup.
