" Los Molcajetes is a wonderful dining experience! Tried their ceviche and was very impressed with the freshness and flavor. The wait staff was accommodating and quick with our orders. I’d recommend this spot to anyone looking for a casual yet authentic Mexican restaurant. They also have an extensive drink menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a less than stellar experience recently at Los Molcajetes. My tacos were okay, but I’ve had better elsewhere. The service was slow, and the place felt overwhelming with the volume of patrons. I may give it another try, but my first visit wasn’t as memorable as I had hoped. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had dinner at Los Molcajetes with my friends, and while the food was good, the service left something to be desired. It took a while to flag someone down for more chips and drinks. The decor was festive, and the food was tasty but be prepared for a bit of a wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, just wow! Los Molcajetes exceeded my expectations. I had the molcajete de mar y tierra, and it was a seafood lover's dream! The ingredients felt incredibly fresh, and the flavors were authentic. The only downside was that it took a while to get our drinks. Next time, I’ll definitely come back with a larger group to try more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" A truly authentic Mexican restaurant that takes pride in serving flavorful dishes. Their mole is exquisite, and the tacos are to die for! I highly recommend their margaritas to complement the meal. The staff was friendly and attentive, although the place got a bit loud. Nonetheless, a fantastic dining experience overall! " (*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.
