" Tortilleria El Molinito has quickly become one of my favorite spots for brunch! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with a hint of nostalgia. The owners clearly put their heart into the food they make. However, my only critique would be the inconsistent quality on busier days, which I hope resolves itself. I will be returning soon; the flavor is too good to stay away from! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried the tamales and I must say they were good. The freshly made dough and fillings were top-notch. However, I felt that the service could improve since the staff seemed overwhelmed with orders during my visit. Given the reputation of the place, I believe they can and will do better with customer care. Overall, I’d return to enjoy that delicious food again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here eager to try the famous menudo I had heard so much about, but my experience did not meet my expectations. The broth was not as flavorful as I remembered it from previous visits, and the chunks of meat were too large, making it hard to enjoy. The service was friendly enough, but I felt they could have paid more attention to the quality of the food being served. Give it another shot! In a nutshell: - Great staff, family atmosphere. - Authentic tortillas. - Menudo needs improvement. - Will definitely return for a *second chance* and perhaps check out the tamales as well. " (*Curated Review*)

" The straightforward menu at this restaurant is a blessing. You know what you get, and it’s always prepared with care. I particularly enjoy the pozole here, though they occasionally mix up my order. The staff, while they can be a bit rushed during busy times, are always polite and ready to help. I wouldn't call it a fine dining experience, but it emphasizes wholesome, home-cooked meals that appeal to many. " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos were made fresh, but the price seemed a little high for the size. The ambiance is nice and cozy but it can become quite cramped during busy hours. The service was acceptable. However, I think they could hire a few more staff during peak times to meet demand better. Overall, the quality of food was good. " (*Curated Review*)

" I would definitely recommend this place if you’re in the mood for authentic Mexican cuisine. The fresh tortillas steal the show! While some items can be a bit pricey, the quality of the food is worth it. I do wish the place was larger to accommodate more diners as it can get cramped quickly. Other than that, I’ve always enjoyed my meals here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Can't say enough good things about this charming restaurant! Went here for breakfast, and their huevos rancheros hit every spot. The freshness and simplicity of the menu are very appealing! I would say the service is more on the casual side, but very friendly. I will be returning for sure, such a treat to find genuine Mexican flavors in the heart of the city. " (*Curated Review*)
