El Molcajete is always our go to restaurant. We never eat out, but make it a point to go here every Friday night! The food and margaritas are the best we’ve had and the service can’t be beat. We always leave with a smile on our face. Special shoutout to Arturo and Liz!!! Their attention to detail and care for their customers does not go unnoticed. El Molcajete is truly a special place to visit!

Every single time we go here, it's always absolutely wonderful! The servers are polite and quick, the food comes out quickly and steaming hot, and it truly feels like a slice of Mexico! We always order steak fajitas, and hearing the sizzle of them being carried to us and the smell filling our noses makes it great every time. All the food is wonderful and not overpriced! You get SO much food for not a lot of money! The atmosphere is never too loud, the Mexican music is great,...
