El Molcajete

El Molcajete is one of my favorite spots in Rock Hill. It's a small, tucked-away restaurant, but that's part of what makes it so special--it feels like a hidden treasure. Every time I've been, the food has been consistently good. You can tell it's made with care, and it's some of the most authentic Mexican food I've had in the area.It seems to be family-owned, which probably explains the warm atmosphere. The servers are always so kind and thoughtful, making sure you're taken care of without being overbearing. It's the kind of place where you can take your time and really enjoy your meal.If you're looking for a casual, welcoming spot with great food, I can't recommend El Molcajete enough. It's one of those places that feels like home, even if it's your first visit.

Came here based on a few menudo reviews. Today must have been an off day - definitely that farm aroma and the meat had no texture so I think it was just crazy overcooked. Also got a taco which was fine. I'll try it again but will order more plate items next time. If it was just the menudo I'd given one star :(

Service is friendly, I think it is family run. I am from NC, and these are the juiciest tacos I ever had in my life and I have eaten many places. I got the steak (asada) tacos. They cooked it quickly. Also got the guac. Flavor was immaculate. Authentically cooked. Glad I checked the reviews before I went, I searched "top rated" Mexican food for the area. Prices are fair. Like 2$ a taco. I also got a tortas sandwich to-go, to eat later.

This is the third time I have been to this restaurant and it is fabulous. The salsa, the tacos, the burritos, we tried a lot of different items and they were all excellent. I like that they have several different types of sauces out on the table. Don't sleep on this place. Enjoy!*Consumer restaurant etiquettePlease note that I almost always dine between lunch and dinner. Why, because I can, that and I know this is the best time to get the best food and service. If you are dining during peak times, please allow extra time for fresh prepared Food. God bless!

Kay and Naj visits this restaurant for a quick brunch or lunch. We love that it is a family owned restaurant. The menu has a host of dishes to choose from and refreshing drinks. We love the Sangria and sometimes get a 6-pack bucket of Coronitas beer to share. The servers are knowledgeable about the menu, especially when we are not familiar with the dish. We love the home made guacamole. It is a nice environment nothing fancy just a good restaurant in our neighborhood in SC. It is not very expensive either.

The service is great, the food is great. The guacamole is the best I have ever had and the sangria was surprisingly very good. We love their Fajita Wednesday specials and highly recommend checking it out. As good as the fajitas were, the carne asada blew me away, it was juicy and the flavor is much better than you typically find at other restaurants...my wife was full on her chips and queso until she tasted my carne asada Also, the chicken tacos are phenomenal! Some of the juiciest chicken you will ever have!

Looks a lot better than the flavor profile.The establishment was clean and our server was very respectful. That's why I gave them a better review but as far as the levels of flavor that I am typically used to when looking for authentic Mexican cuisine. Unfortunately, I didn't find it here.

I drove past this place many times and finally decided to try it!I thought their Molcajete was a steal at only $16.95! Most restaurants in the area charge $30-$40+ for the exact same thing! My only complaint is it wasn't served sizzling, still delicious though.No tequila on the drink menu but they had sangria and wine margaritas that were pretty good. I would definitely visit again!

Delicious, authentic Mexican food. The tacos are amazing (my favorite is the Arroz Con Huevo) and it's fun to order the Michelada Con Camaron.

This was the most authentic Mexican food I have ever had on the East Coast. Highly recommend!!
