" Molcajete is my favorite place for chips and salsa in Calgary! The variety of hot sauces they offer is impressive, and each one has an incredible depth of flavor. I appreciate that everything feels very authentic and homemade. My friends and I came in last week, and we tried a few new salsas – the mango salsa blew me away! This is a must-try for anyone who loves Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish I could give more than 5 stars for Molcajete! The food is some of the best I've experienced outside of Mexico. I often spend Sunday afternoons here, sampling their various salsas and enjoying their quesadillas. They are always generous with their portions, and I always leave feeling satisfied. The family-run vibe of the place makes it so welcoming. Definitely, a hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a wonderful lunch at Molcajete, the tacos al pastor were delicious and my daughter loved the cheese quesadilla. The staff was friendly and attentive and helped us with our order. It's a cozy little spot in the market, and we can't wait to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Molcajete is a little piece of heaven for taco lovers! I recently had their carne asada tacos, and they were sensational – tender beef surrounded by traditional soft corn tortillas. The meat was perfectly seasoned and paired beautifully with their refreshing salsa. Could not ask for more authentic flavors! The staff was cheerful, adding to a lovely dining experience. Definitely, make the trip if you're craving legit Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes after seeing so many positive reviews, but my visit was underwhelming. The atmosphere felt cramped, and though the staff was friendly, it took a long time to get our food. When it finally came, I was disappointed with my order. The tacos were rather bland and didn’t live up to the expectations set by others. I might give it another shot, but this experience was not what I hoped for. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Molcajete after hearing wonderful things, and it did not disappoint! The highlight was the al pastor tacos. The pork was tender and flavorful, and I enjoyed every bite. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I do think they should expand their drink selections, as I was wishing for a nice horchata or agua fresca with my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about Molcajete. The flavors of the food were good, but the portions were smaller than I expected. The tacos were tasty but not particularly filling. I appreciated the staff, who were polite and helpful, yet the overall experience didn’t quite meet my expectations. I might be back but won't be rushing to do so. " (*Curated Review*)
