" I was a bit disappointed during my last visit. The food wasn’t as warm as I hoped, and the waiter seemed overwhelmed by the number of tables. I ordered the pozole, which I had high expectations for, but it fell short on flavor and richness. The ambiance was nice, featuring some lively music, but my overall experience was marred by the slow service and cold food. I might give it another chance since I know they have great reviews, but I’ll think twice before bringing guests next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Molcajete Moya has become a staple in my family’s dining choices. The authentic flavors are unrivaled, and we love the friendly service. The environment is warm and welcoming. My favorite has to be the carne asada! The wait times can be a bit long during the evenings, especially on weekends, but the food is always worth the wait. I'm grateful to have discovered this gem in the heart of town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very disappointing visit. I waited an hour for my food, which was cold and seemed like it had been sitting out for a while. The flavors were all off compared to what I remembered from previous visits. The service was inattentive, and it felt like they forgot about my table. Even the atmosphere couldn't save this visit. I won’t be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has been to countless Mexican restaurants, I have to say that El Molcajete Moya truly shines when it comes to authenticity. From the handmade tortillas to the rich flavors of the enchiladas, it was evident that the chef takes pride in their craft. The atmosphere was festive, with a live band playing classic Mariachi songs. My only complaint is that the service was a bit inattentive during peak hours, as we found ourselves waiting longer for follow-up care. But the food was worth the wait, and I will definitely return with family and friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried El Molcajete Moya and had mixed feelings. The food was delightful and I really loved the flavor of the enchiladas—rich and hearty! The atmosphere was festive with colors and music, creating an inviting space. Unfortunately, the service left something to be desired as it felt rushed and I noticed the staff seemed overwhelmed during the dinner rush. I would be back for the food, but I do hope the service improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have gone to El Molcajete Moya a couple of times now, and I really appreciate the warm atmosphere and friendly staff. The tacos de birria are my favorite! Every time I visit, I leave satisfied. The ingredient quality is apparent, and the flavors are true to traditional Mexican cooking. I would suggest they improve service speed during peak hours since the wait time can be long, but I find it worth it for the taste. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pleasantly surprised by my visit to El Molcajete Moya! The food was flavorful and reminded me of my trips to Mexico. I adored their guacamole and the tacos de pescado were fresh and zesty! The ambiance was inviting, although crowded. My only criticism would be the long wait for a table, but once seated, the service improved significantly. I would recommend this spot to anyone seeking authentic Mexican food in a lively setting! " (*Curated Review*)
