La Molienda Latin Cafe

I've gotten takeout here twice now, after finally deciding to try pupusas, I found this pace which wasn't far from my home. The pupusas are so delicious, as is the curtido and salsa rojo that comes alongside. The pupusas are crispy, cheesy, flavorful and full of beans and meat. I haven't tried anything else on the menu yet but I'll be back time and time again for the pupusas for sure. They have a drive through which is convenient for those who don't want to get out of their car. The staff is really pleasant to deal with.

This restaurant re-heats food, and is unsanitary. There was a huge roach pictured on the far right corner of the eating area. I informed the waitress, and her response was "oh" and she shrugged her shoulders. The owner himself refused to sit my large party in the larger table area because he said "that area is reserved for bigger parties and it's Sunday, so no ". One of my kids needed a drink remade due to an accident, and he attempted to charge us for the remake and said "whose problem and fault is that?". My husband ordered a $27 plate of steak that was served re-heated. Customers deserve to be treated cordially and get what they paid for.One single pupusa is now $5.50, way overpriced. I would rather drive farther to get quality service and quality food. We will not be returning to this cash cow of an establishment.

My friend and I love trying pupusas from different places. She bought La Molienda to my attention and we beelined to this great place. First let me talk about the service, even before I stepped inside. I arrived 1st for our lunch date. La Molienda is on Goldnerod Rd, there is a nicely sized sign with the name of the restaurant but the building number is a little hard to see from the street. There is parking on all sides, I parked in the front for a few, then made my way to the back, walked to the front in order for my friend to see where I was. The manager noticed me, came outside and offered me a business card that he thought would help in giving the precise location to who I was waiting for. SERVICE!! It is a nice place, lots of tables and a full size bar. We were greeted immediately and given the choice of seating. Immediately our server came over, we ordered all the pupusa offerings, queso, chicharron con queso, revuelta, Loroco( which is a vine with edible flowers very popular in El Salvador and Guatemala, but really accessible in all Central America. We also got an order of fried yucca to munch on and tacos. Drinks, sangria, water and a coke. Here's the horrible thing I did as a Yelper, we were so engrossed in enjoying our meals and talking, I did not take pics!!!! Unreal!! The food is good, the pupusas are nice sized, the curtido is not as pickled as other places I've tried but it was good, kind of like cole slaw. The sauces were nice, a bit of a kick for the pupusas, and a bit to vinegary the one for the fried yucca. The lorocco pupusa is is great tasting vegetarian option. Fours stars and not five because I felt that a bit more salt/flavor was needed. And the tacos were supposed to include guacamole and it never arrived. Overall, it was a good experience.

The food was wonderful and the staff were so friendly. The restaurant was very nicely decorated and we recommend this place. I had the chicken with rice and an horchata drink which was perfect... Love this place

Great local place. We are really picky when it comes to pupusas and the flavors are all on point. The menu has a nice variety of comfort foods and very affordable.

If you find a place where you can eat good "Pupusas," you have found happiness. If you're Salvadorian that is ;) . The meal I grew up with back home brings comfort and satisfaction at "La Molienda." Let me describe a little bit of this meal, a stuffed tortilla with ingredients such as cheese, beans, pork, and a combination of all of them together, make this classic Salvadorian staple something to long for! At La Molienda, you can be sure to enjoy a genuine taste. The menu starts there but it continues with a large variety of options such as chicken tamales, sweet corn tamales, anything plantains, and many, many more Salvadorian delicacies that you won't regret experiencing. The prices are totally affordable. The ambience is simple but welcoming. The service is not the greatest at times if you come in too late at night. Lesson learned. But hey, I'll be out of it too by 10pm. My boyfriend is American, but he is hooked with Salvadorian food!! La Molienda has played an important role on the matter. Don't miss it!! You'll be getting yourself a special treat :)

Prompt, friendly greeting. Complimentary chips and salsa. Server was very helpful explaining the menu items.Food was brought out really quick after placing order. The Nuevo Variado Molienda is a lot of food, a little taste of everything, heavy on the fried starches so there wasn't a big burst of flavors. Tried one of their homemade drinks--blackberry juice, which was tasty, thick and rich. Interested in trying other menu items--soup and seafood. Drive-thru is a convenient option.

If you're looking for Salvadoran food, this is the place. The place looks very nice, clean, and authentic. The food 10/10. But !!!....it is a little pricey! One pupusa is almost $6

Just had lunch with my whole family and left impressed with the food and the service. Had the popusas, chicken tacos, soup, pork chops and my kids wanted a late breakfast platter. Everything was delicious and the portions were plentiful so we will back for sure! Initial service to take the order was a bit slow but the food came quickly afterwards. Just be patient if they are busy when you arrive.

I do not know how this restaurant is not busy all the time. The food is AMAZING! I went with teachers from the school nearby, and the inside is beautifully decorated, wait staff are very nice, and food is delicious! LOVE!!
