" I visited Mi Molcajete last weekend, and while I was excited to try the many authentic dishes, I was somewhat underwhelmed by the service. Although kind and polite, the speed of service was slower than expected, especially when the restaurant wasn't busy. However, the food was undoubtedly tasty! I had the fajitas and they were full of flavor. If they can just improve their service times, this could be an outstanding spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Mi Molcajete with my family, and it was nothing short of fantastic! We started with the bean dip and salsa, which were delightful appetizers. For my main course, I chose the seafood chimichanga, and let me tell you, it was absolutely stuffed! You could tell everything was made fresh. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a place with authentic flavors and generous portions, this is it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I heard about the Molcajete and just had to try it! Wow, it lives up to the hype. The mix of flavors and the quality of ingredients really stood out. It was so filling that I didn’t even have room for dessert—but I plan on trying their ice cream next time! I had an excellent experience with service as well, quick and friendly. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mi Molcajete has proven to be a solid contender for the best Mexican food in town! The tacos were authentic, made with quality ingredients, and bursting with flavor. The only hiccup was the slow service during peak hours, but it’s a minor issue considering how good the food is. I enjoyed a vibrant atmosphere, which made the experience worthwhile. I am absolutely planning to return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time at Mi Molcajete! It was everything I hoped for. The tacos I had were fantastic; they were generously filled with meat and tasted authentic, reminiscent of my travels to Mexico! The waitstaff was attentive without being overbearing. The restaurant's cleanliness was evident, and I felt comfortable dining there. I will definitely be spreading the word about this gem!

" This was my first visit to Mi Molcajete, and it won’t be my last! The variety on the menu is impressive, and I ended up opting for the Birria tacos. Absolutely delicious! They weren't as spicy as I expected, but the flavor was on point! The service was impeccable; my server checked in frequently without being intrusive. The atmosphere is casual yet lively, perfect for a dinner with friends. I left full and satisfied with my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great food, but not a fan of the atmosphere. It tends to get busy and loud, which isn’t great for a quiet dinner. The carne asada was done just right; juicy and well-seasoned. Service was attentive, and I appreciated their knowledge of the menu. If you don't mind a vibrant and bustling environment, definitely give it a try for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
