" I had high hopes based on previous reviews, but unfortunately, I wasn't super impressed with my meal. The food was okay but didn't meet my standards for authentic Mexican. My queso was a bit bland, lacking the kick I expected. That said, the service was friendly and prompt though not exceptional. I might give it another try because it’s worth a second chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my parents here during their visit, and we had a delightful time! The food reminded us of the local places in Mexico; genuine and delicious! The chicken tinga tacos were fantastic! Service was decent although they took a while to check on us. For anyone looking for home-cooked flavors in a restaurant setting, this is the place you want to come to! " (*Curated Review*)

" I haven't felt this satisfied after a meal in a long while! Each item we ordered was bursting with authentic flavors and felt fresh. One dish that stood out was the Mole Poblano; it transported me straight back to Mexico! Service was quick, which made the experience even better. I assure you that this restaurant deserves all the praise it gets. " (*Curated Review*)

" The authenticity here is unlike any other! I had the shrimp enchiladas, and they were off the charts amazing. So fresh and tasty! The only issue I had was with the slow service at busy times. However, once we got our food, it was more than worth the wait. The atmosphere is relaxed and conducive for small gatherings. I cannot recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited El Molcajete for my birthday! The food is fantastic and honestly, the best Mexican I've had in Louisville. My guests and I ordered a variety and each dish was loaded with flavor. The only issue was our server seemed a bit overwhelmed during peak hours, but he tried to keep up. I appreciate his effort! Would definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, El Molcajete is the best Mexican restaurant in town. The food is fresh and the flavors are incredible! I can’t stop raving about their tacos – you can tell the ingredients are high quality. Service was friendly, and I didn't feel rushed at all. The ambiance is a casual, comfy vibe which I'm all about. Highly recommend if you're looking for authentic taste. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for takeout! I stopped by after work, and the staff was super helpful in recommending menu items. I got the pollo al carbon, and it was seasoned perfectly! The portions are generous and I've had leftovers for lunch more than once. The only downside is if you’re dining in, the service can be a bit slow when it gets busy, but the food more than makes up for it. " (*Curated Review*)
