The Rundown: local authentic Mexican chain with a varied, flavorful menu and efficient service.The Review: I was introduced to El Molcajete by a coworker from Mexico and when the family was in town and interested in Mexican style food this was a no brainer. Not sure if they were renovating or if a power issue but at the time, no AC (only fans). Tables were mostly uncleaned at the time, so we settled in the back at the cleanest option. The employee was helpful in noticing and requesting us to move at a location with increased air flow (the back is a bit stuffy) as she immediately attended to the tables. The menus were more extensive than I remembered - and even included some seasonal options they were still running. Complimentary chips and salsa are provided for sit down, and they are thicker chips added a great crunch with what I can only imagine is home made salsa. It's got a bit of a kick and tastes very fresh! This visit I went with enchiladas which comes with a side salad. *As a note, salads are not what you may expect. They are very simple and not what many here may consider a "house salad". Something to be mindful of if unfamiliar! The platter was large - I ended up taking half home! Layered in queso, and crispy yet soft, I was able to order a mix of one chicken and one beef. Both were fantasticly prepared. The rice is also delicious - presented in a cute pyramid and I believe might have some corn meal or something in it which adds color and a slightly sweet flavor. Definitely a solid recommendation for anyone uncertain. We were stuff so I didn't get to explore the dessert options but I'm sure I'll return. It's still a recommend, don't let the location or stopped down inside concern you. Your taste buds are in great hands!

This place is not fancy and located in a non-descript strip mall It was clean and small. Our server was a pleasant young lady who was helpful and attentive. I did like rhe presentation of tge rice, it was a nice touch. The food came out quickly and was tasty. Really liked the spicy chorizo. The star for me were the wonderful chips and salsa! I could eat these for tge meal.

Amazing food! I ordered the chile relleno and it was large and full of cheese. My hubs ordered the chimichangas with shredded chicken and he loved it. For dessert you've got to get the cheesecake chimichanga! What an innovative combination. Inexpensive too.

What a local gem! This is a hole in the wall restaurant, just how my fiancé and our roommate like it! This is by far one of the best, authentic, and delicious Mexican restaurants we have ever come across! We visited Mexico last month, so we know good food!The service at El Molcajete was fast and efficient. Each staff we met were incredibly inviting and friendly. I am drooling as I write this review. I cannot wait to return for my next meal! The rice and refried beans were delicious. The birria with the quesadilla taco were simply delicious. El Molcajete did not disappoint. Thank you for the amazing experience!

TL;DR Great chimichangas and ground beef tacos! I have zero complaints about El Molcajete. The food is really good and so is the service. If you can get past people smoking weed outside the neighboring stores, you're good to go.The tortilla chips were kind of burnt, and I think they're flour instead of corn. But they're free, so I'm not gonna let that bother me. The chimichanga dinner was great! The meat was well-seasoned, as was the rice. That will be my go-to meal when I come here.
