" Los Molcajetes has always been my go-to spot for Mexican food, and it never disappoints. The salsas are exquisite and the tacos have just the right amount of toppings! The ambiance is lively, perfect for a casual dinner with friends. Just a heads up, if you go on a weekend, expect a bit of a wait, as it gets packed! But trust me, the wait is worth it. I can't recommend their asada tacos enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Molcajetes never disappoints! The tacos were packed with flavor and had generous portions. The atmosphere is casual and fun, and it’s the perfect spot for groups. Although it was cash-only, that didn’t stop us from enjoying our night out. I’m looking forward to coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoy coming to Los Molcajetes because of the consistently good food and vibrant atmosphere. Their tortas and tacos are not only authentic but also satisfying. But, I find that the service may vary, which is unfortunate. Overall, it’s a solid choice for anybody craving Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Salsa lovers rejoice! Los Molcajetes has some of the best salsa I've tasted, alongside their freshly prepared chips. I also loved their lengua tacos, which are hard to find elsewhere! The place is a bit cramped, but the vibrant atmosphere makes up for it. Eager to visit again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Molcajetes is a hidden gem! I took my family there for dinner, and everyone left happy. The kids loved the nachos, and my husband can't stop raving about the fish tacos. The atmosphere was charming and felt very welcoming. Service was attentive and quick, even with a busy restaurant. We’ll definitely be back soon for another family dinner! " (*Curated Review*)

" After several visits to Los Molcajetes, I can confidently say that they serve the best tacos! The carne asada and al pastor tacos have perfect seasoning. I appreciate that they use fresh ingredients and every dish I’ve ordered has been flavorful. Service can be hit or miss, but I will always come back for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Los Molcajetes after hearing so much praise, but my experience was a mixed bag. While the food was certainly good, particularly the ceviche, I found the service lacking. Our server seemed overwhelmed and took a long time to attend to us. The outdoor seating was delightful, but I hope they can improve on their service to match the quality of the food.
