Molina's Cantina

I give them credit for the nice wait staff. The chips are probably not made at Molina's. The red and green salsas are just ok. I had a grilled fish taco. It comes with two corn tortillas. The relish it comes with is spicy. If I would have known I would have asked them to hold the jalapeños. The rice is good, just a normal Mexican rice. I wish their black beans weren't cooked with lard. Parking is plentiful and security drives around in a golf cart. Unless friends are gathering there like they did this evening, I wouldn't choose this place. They need to upgrade their chips and salsa.

Molina's is my go to for consistently outstanding carnitas. Very little or no fat on the meat like I've had at other places. So tender and great flavor and crispness which I love. I enjoy all three salsas. It's what I label as Old School Mexican. Always a pleasure to visit.

First visit we had here for dinner. The service was fantastic! I ordered a combo meal-taco had lots of meat & lettuce. Tostada had beans & lettuce all topped with red salsa.It was all fresh- not a lot of any seasoning. The chips & dip were spicy. We had a cheese queso dip with sausage -it was very good. My cheese enchilada was flavorful & was accompanied by a chip cup with queso over- very good.

The food is always consistent. Jonny's has had the kitchen in sync for years, along with Maria "The Manager, of all Managers" this place hums like a well oiled machine. The service is outstanding from Miguel, Norma and even Clay taking care of everyone in the bar area. Leo, she is still the legend rocking 41's tie collection. The only thing missing is the original pitch dark dinning room of the original Westheimer location, just turn down the lights and you would bring it all back little Ricky. Plus, you would save on the electric bill (mattress would be fatter). If your a regular it's just like cheers.

I DID NOT EAT HERE.But the interaction alone with Maria (i believe is her name) the Manager of this place is just terrible and i can only imagine what her customers endure.My fiancé and I had a meet and greet in the area that her restaurant is in. We normally draw a big crowd so we offered to have her cater our event and we would even pay extra to use her parking lot mind you not even the whole parking lot just a couple of spaces. She said no.The morning of our meet and greet before it even started she came over and told us that she will tow any car parked in her parking lot. So i made sure none of our people parked there.She then started harassing people JUST WALKING THROUGH "HER" PARKING LOT ! She had her phone in kids faces, telling them that she was going to have them arrested for walking on private property. Mind you there are no signs that say private property. The apparently.. behind her building which is just a gravel lot (no signs indicating who's parking it belonged to) she parked her van behind our customers cars so they could not get out. Most of them had to make 8 point turns just to move because she wouldn't even move the car for them to leave.We got into a few times .. she kept calling me "little girl" ... mind you I'm 33 lol . I respect my elders but after crossing a few lines i really just let her have it. She literally gave us the hardest time ever , we're just a couple of content creators giving back to our fans who have supported us for the past 10 yrs and she truly made things so difficult.Whoever ACTUALLY owns this place i suggest you re-train Maria in some manners and customer service. There's truly no need for that type of hostility and rudeness.

We arrived 33 minutes before closing time. Service was prompt and friendly. I think the food arrived in 10 minutes. I had the Sopa de Tortilla, and it was fantastic. Nice portion size- not too much, not too little . The side chips and salsa were great! I liked the lime "zing" of the red salsa. Could be a bit much for others, but this bold soul's palate enjoys some tickle on the tongue, and so I thought it was perfect! There was a milder green salsa provided as well. That seemed thoughtful. Shout out to Christian, our server! Such a thoughtful caring person who was quick to smile and show genuine interest. He was curious about Washington weather, (I just moved here from Washington) and I was happy to oblige. We left about 2 minutes after closing time, and yet were not made to feel rushed. Oh, the Tres Leches grand finale was just that...GRAND! Moist and delectable as it should be - and it was! No complaints on this end! 5 stars to Molina's and many thanks for the hard work you do to stay in business in this competitive world in which we live! You help make life better! Thank you!!!

Molina's had the BEST customer service i've ever had in Houston. they were kind, attentive, respectful, and friendly. the manager told us a nice story about himself and a little bit of history on the place! the environment was very inviting and well lit!the food was above average, no complaints but nothing to rave about. having two different salsas to choose from was a pleasant surprise!

First time going here. I've always wanted to try it. Went in and was greeted very nicely, nice ambiance and good service. The food is where it started lacking. Just the lack of flavor...The chips were okay, the green sauce and red sauce had no flavor, no salt, very plain. There was another red sauce that maybe had some type of pickled pepper that was pretty good. The queso con pico was probably the best thing I ordered. My Mangonada was extremely sweet. I ordered the Enchiladas verdes de Michael and I was disappointed. Again no flavor, the sauce was meh, the chicken was meh, small rice on the side and charro beans. You'd think a Mexican restaurant would at least have decent avocado. Charro beans were decent. My partner ordered the chille relleno and the sauce was super broken. It was like a gravy...super thick and brown. I had one bite and was like NO right away. Suddenly my enchiladas did not seem so bad. Again the service was great and we even got complimentary little sweets. Took them home at this point I couldn't eat any more. Going home that night the food was super heavy. From 3 enchiladas I only ate one, and some chips with queso. I couldn't hold it in when I went home, my stomach did not like it. Something was off. Maybe it was just a bad day, but personally I wouldn't go back.

Always the place to go for Mexican food and margaritas . Fun for the family of all ages .

Molinas needs to either shut down or remodel the outside seating area. They use it to serve families with active children but it's very child unfriendly. With many hard, uneven dangerous surfaces and tripping hazards, the patio area is prone to both children and adult falls. The prosperous restaurant owes it to its many repeat customers to remodel the old dilapidated patio area to ensure the safety of its customers.
