Was looking for a more authentic experience because the taco truck in town doesn't have their hours correctly online so we stalked this place online and seem some items that caught our interest. Parking was difficult because of the location and time but when we finally arrive the place was very nice and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The menu was huge so it took some time to decide what we wanted and when we received the food it wasn't what we expected but it was delicious. The staff was great and very attentive and the food was delicious!

Our first visit in to Molcajetes went well. Our server was nice and the food delicious. We started with an appetizer, stuffed jalapeños, they were okay, not sure I would order again. For dinner I had the taco salad, pretty basic I know but usually the first thing I try at Mexican restaurants before moving on to other things. It was good. My husband had the fajitas and said they were delicious. It was crowded but not too noisy. We'll be back again sometime.

Location: Downtown Lawrence. The place to go of you happen to be in Lawrence, KS.Ambiance: This is an amazing place to take your family. It is a beautiful restaurant that looks like a Mexican "casa"Food: it is great. They serve complimentary queso sauce and mild sauce, which are delicious. All the dishes are solid. Still a little bit of Texmex vibe.Service: Very good. I know the owner ,Beto. He is very committed to his business and always making sure that everything is in place.For Mexican food in Mass street, this is the place to go.

Really disappointed after a recent visit and will not be returning. Reasons:(1) Food was sub-par.The salsa is bland, queso is no longer complimentary, and the rice, beans, and seafood chimi were just average.(2) Service was really bad.This was the worst part of the experience. Our server seemed miserable, like he absolutely did not care about his customers. He never greeted us, mumbled when he spoke (in a super loud restaurant), never brought a clean menu that I requested, and brought an incorrect drink and an incorrect entree. When the wrong entree was brought to me, the server tried to tell me that I ordered the seafood enchiladas, when I ordered the chimi. Finally they brought the correct food, but we were never checked on after that. (3) This was the noisiest, rowdiest sit-down restaurant I have been to in a long time. I think with Cielito's being closed, a lot of that crowd is coming to Molcajete's instead, and as a consequence the restaurant was overflowing with large groups of students, many of whom were extremely loud, drunk, using flash photography, etc. Multiple times we were startled by someone shrieking/screaming within the restaurant. It's just not the ambience we remembered from before. Some redeeming qualities: It's a large restaurant and we didn't have to wait long to get in on a Friday night. The margaritas are pretty decent.

We're from Texas, so when my daughter raved about this spot, I knew we had to visit. First, don't be fooled if it looks busy when you walk by; there's lots of extra seating upstairs.Seated quickly, I was immediately impressed by the huge menu. If you can't find something that sounds good to you, you're clearly doing it wrong.Along with complimentary chips and salsa (both of which were good), the waiter also brought a bowl of queso, which was also tasty.I had a difficult time deciding but went with the Vaquero, skirt steak covered in cheese, mushrooms, and avocado slices. I've had carne asada in the past that was maybe a bit more tender, but it was good overall, and I'd get it again. The rice and beans were also good.My daughter gets the Birria Quesadilla. This did not disappoint. It's basically a shredded beef quesadilla, only the meat has been marinated for a long time in a mole broth (think au jus), and they give you an extra cup of the juice for dipping. It's pretty darn good.Service was fine throughout, and food came out quick. Hopefully this establishment doesn't go the way of many other Mass Street establishments and has a long life in Lawrence.

So today I ordered online and I ordered the shredded Chicken Nachos and the nacho chips are burnt and it tasted burnt really bad and very nasty and soggy; also, the shredded chicken was super dry as can be.Considering the service the food was already ready when got there to pick up since I did order online the service was Good. The place is really nice and i'm for-sure the employees are really good at there job to be honest but when I got there the place was empty or what I call dead as a door nail, there was no customers was there as far as can see and to me says something about the restaurant, and place and there food.I won't see myself ordering from here no more and won't be back ever again!! I figured being a Mexican restaurant the food would be decent but this is disgusting and very disappointing considering I really do love Mexican food a-lot .

Had two different margaritas that will land in my all time top 5 list. Great service, and atmosphere.

Cool place, great service and the food was very good. Queso is not to be missed. The only drawback is that we were seated upstairs so the server was not always around but the decor was cool and it was quiet.

We did not have a good first experience here. The margaritas and the food was mediocre, and they ran out of cheese, which made some of the dishes quite different--especially the quesadilla. The chips, salsa, and the chicken poblano and fajita burritos were pretty good. The staff were nice, but the service was slow. We'd hope for a better overall experience next time.
