El Molino Tortilleria and Restaurant

Super friendly owner who expressed his appreciation of doing business with him. The specialty of this restaurant is the homemade tortilla. So fresh and elevate the meal. I had mole tacos. One serving has three tacos. One taco has one layer of tortilla so it's not too heavy, loaded with flavorful chicken mole. It has some kick but not too spicy. Highly recommendedGuacamole and chips is large enough for sharing. Churros are fresh and super crunchy.

Really was craving carnitas tacos and chicken empanadas. This place has pretty good reviews so I gave it a try. Ordered delivery. Anytime I get carnitas tacos and the "carnitas" is cut in chunks I know it's going to be bad. That's was the case here. Bland and full of fatty pieces. The pork is supposed to be braised or simmered in a fat until it's tender enough to be shredded or pulled apart, then fried. This was not carnitas this was pork tacos. The empanada flavor was off. Unlike any chicken empanada I tasted before. The filling reminded me of chicken pot pie. The chicken was again cut in chunks. i didn't care about the chunks in the empanada. I cared that the flavor wasn't correct. The one star is for the dough. The empanada shell and the corn tortilla itself, we're both delicious. So they know how to make a dough! I've been to Mexico plenty of times including Michoacán where carnitas originated.

I can't say enough good things about this place. Every time I try a new dish from El Molino, it becomes a favorite. Those tender, melty, birria tacos are out of this world. And dunked into that spicy, bright consomé? Forget it. Honest to god, best thing I've eaten in the city in a long while. The hand-pounded tortillas really make this dish come to life.The picadillo empanadas are a total treat, and like my previous review mentioned, the chiles relleños are a can't-miss.....But the real treasure here is the owners. The delightful duo who single-handedly cook, clean, and serve; who are up at the crack of dawn each morning, filling our neighborhood with the warm scent of flour and corn. They are so, so kind. So welcoming, so gracious, so pleased to share their wonderful food with you. Such heart here.

Went for dinner tonight. I got the enchiladas and partner got birria tacos. The food and service was great!

The staff was very friendly, and the food was served quickly.That said, I paid $60 for a meal (two taco orders, empanada, guac, & flan) that really wasn't very good. The empanada was fairly good, but the birria tacos were a total let down (dry & unflavorful) and the chips were hard as a rock. The flan had a very bitter aftertaste.Sorry, I wish I could give a better score!

Wow! What a pleasant surprise. The tortillas are perfect - as authentic as it gets with rich corn flavors. Tacos are perfect with their fillings well seasoned. Carnitas are nice and crisp and flavorful. I never go for quesadillas but all I can think of now is the chicken quesadilla with its red sauce and perfectly fried tortilla shell. Already planning a trip back. Muy sabroso!

Now, I normally don't leave reviews but this one deserves one. I was craving Birria tacos because my normal spot was running behind (they are a truck) and I needed to get home.So I googled Birria tacos near me. Now I read the reviews and thought this place was legit. When I tell you this was a mistake. Baby, it was a mistake. My Birria tacos was so soggy and not crispy at all. The beef inside was nothing but fat and cut into tiny cubes not shredded like Birria at all. I think it was false advertising and if I could get my money back I would want a 100% refund. Beware or this place if you're looking for Birria tacos.

when i called to track my order, the person on the phone continuously told me a different story as to what was going on with my order. The first time he told me he spoke with me to tell me they don't have a delivery driver. I hung up and called my boyfriend to see if they spoke with him, which they didn't. when i called back the second time, they told me that they are waiting for the grub hub driver to come and pick it up and when i argued that is not what he just told me, he hung up on me. when i continued to call, they declined my call 5 times (this was a prepaid order). They called me back to tell me that the grub hub driver did in fact pick it up and it's on his way. I told him i did not believe that as they continue to tell me a different story - they hung up on me again. Guy was extremely rude for no reason

Super homemade tacos. Very nice staff. I'm not sure what's in those tacos but it sure is magic. The tortillas, are fresh and unique.

I have not eaten here. My review is based on the owner's business practices. I was assigned to pick up 2 orders for Grubhub delivery. I arrived roughly 15 minutes before the scheduled pick up time. I greeted the owner and informed him of the 2 orders I was there to pick up, as well as showed him the names on my phone. He told me they would be ready in about 15-20 minutes. The pay for the orders was worth the wait, so I decided to stay. Roughly 20 minutes later, another delivery person walks in and says they are there to pick up for one of the names I had already been waiting for. I speak up and say I am already here for that order. The owner looked confused, but doesn't even hesitate to give the order to the other person. I then begin questioning if it was for a different person, and just a coincidence of having the same name. The owner is now completely ignoring me, while keeping his back to me. The lady in the back begins mocking me as I am repeatedly saying "excuse me", to figure out what is going on. The owner refused to engage in conversation. I wasted about 25 minutes of my time and lost out on roughly 30 dollars, due to this negligence. I will never support or attempt to deliver for this restaurant after this experience.
