“Every time we drive down route one we notice busy El Gran Charro is. My husband and I planned to try this local treasure last Sunday we went in and were able to be seated right away. We looked at the menu and decided to try the Queso Flamado as a starter. Before QF was ready we were delivered chips, salsa and a white sauce that neither of us had had before. The cheese came and I'll admit, I sort of expected a flame or hot spices or sometime but it looked and tasted like queso Blanco with a minimally scorched side and bottom because it was served in a skillet. The salsa was not great. But the white sauce was something to write home about delicious somehow sweet somehow savory and just spicy enough to give you a kick we loved it. Jeff ordered à la cart three separate types of tacos. He thought they were good. I ordered a shrimp appetizer as my meal with a side of corn tortillas and a little extra white sauce. We were not wowed by our meals but also the food was not bad. My dish unfortunately was so spicy I could not eat it in the restaurant. My husband ate his dish and took a bite of mine. He agreed the spices were abnormally hot and somewhat unexpected. The rest of my dinner was transferred into a to go container draining off the vinegar and spices and it was very good when I ate it later at home with more white sauce . Clearly the white sauce was the star player. The restaurant was well decorated, clean and inviting the host and the seater were welcoming and polite. The cost of our orders was very reasonable. Sadly our particular waiter did not do a great job he wasn't very knowland did not come back to check on us however we did notice great service at other tables and assume that issue to be an individual problem and not an establishment problem. Overall, the value was good and I may give other things on the menu a try if I came in the restaurant in the future. Maybe a nice girls margarita night with tortilla chips and white sauce. No“
“Well made, generous portions of affordable Mexican cuisine. Service was quick, attentive for our party of 9. We received bottomless hot tortilla chips with our table meals. I had the chicken and shrimp fajitas - well seasoned, good portion for one person. My husband got one of the frozen sangria margaritas which was HUGE. That drink should not be had alone. It was all good to top off the dinner!“
“Just came in, not sure who the girl was up front with the glasses but she was super nice and helpful. She even held up when I joked around about Moe’s not having pork anymore.Loved her energy and personality.All the women up front had upbeat and positive energy, all willing to help and very kind.Professional, fast, good vibes, left with a smile.P.S. The food is freakin delicious. 10/10“
“I would like to preface this review by saying that this is my first ever Google review. I feel very strongly about El Molcajete Motya 2 and its owners, Ivonne and Hector. They are both lovely and hard-working individuals.I have visited on multiple occasions, either with my family or a group of friends, to grab a quick bite or celebrate birthdays. Never once since they've opened have I had a bad experience. Their food quality and service are impeccable, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant in the area.“
