" I've been coming to El Molino for years and I can't get enough of their breakfast tacos! The handmade tortillas are a game changer, and their salsa is the perfect kick to brighten up any dish. Every time I visit, the staff treats me like family. They can get busy, but it's worth the wait. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by for some real authentic Mexican food. You won't regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited El Molino and while I had high hopes, the experience was a bit disappointing. The puffy tacos I ordered were, unfortunately, bland and the meat lacked flavor. On the plus side, the staff were incredibly friendly and the ambiance was cozy. Perhaps I chose the wrong dish; I've heard good things about their enchiladas so I might give it another shot. Just don’t set your expectations too high with the puffy tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" This little gem caught me by surprise! I came here for a quick lunch and ended up being blown away by the taste. The barbacoa tacos were on point; the meat was so juicy and savory. However, I did feel that the service was a bit slow despite the restaurant not being too busy. The décor could use some updating to really accentuate the homey feel. Overall, I can't wait to return and explore more on the menu. Definitely recommend their tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Molino is a hidden gem. I randomly stopped here during a road trip and was pleasantly surprised. The real winner for me was the menudo—it was comforting and flavorful. The service staff were friendly and even offered recommendations. Although the seating arrangement was a bit cramped, it's the food that really shines here. Definitely a great find for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here was decent, but sadly, my main complaint was about the cleanliness of the restaurant. The tables were sticky, and it seemed a bit neglected. I ordered a taco plate which was okay but nothing to rave about. The staff were nice, but I hope they focus on enhancing their hygiene standards because the food has potential. I might be willing to give it another shot if things improve! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I first walked in, I was taken aback by how cozy and inviting El Molino feels. I went for the enchiladas on the recommendation of a friend and was seriously impressed. They were loaded with flavor, and the salsa complemented them perfectly. The only downside was that I struggled to find a seat due to the lunchtime rush. Still, it’s a lovely place to have a meal, and I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely delicious! The pupusas are to die for! I also had the chance to try the tamales and they were spot on. It's so rare to find such authentic flavors in a restaurant. The environment is welcoming, and the staff were extremely helpful in guiding my choices. I wish they had more dessert options, but overall, it was a fantastic dining experience. Can't wait to go back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
