    Molcajete
    Serene C.

    I've never had molcajete before and now I'm a fan cause of this place! It was enough for two of us and we even had some leftovers! The meats are tasty and I love the flavors in this dish. Service is good and the ambiance is nice too. Overall a great place for Mexican food based off what we got. Chips are really good too!

    I asked our hotel for a recommendation for Mexican food, and the staff suggested this spot, calling it one of the best in the area. They weren't wrong. I'd come back to Texas just to eat here again. The restaurant was small and quaint, creating a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The service was outstanding--I never once had to ask for a refill. And the food? Absolutely mouthwatering. Every bite was bursting with flavor. A truly unforgettable dining experience.

    Diablo margarita super good!
    Amanda R.

    I actually came over here to eat Asian food and noticed this restaurant at the end of the building. What an incredible find! The food and service is really good. One of those hole in the wall places you have to stumble upon by accident! The food I was served was really good! My first visit and I had the spinach and chicken enchiladas. I chose a great item. Wow! So much fresh spinach and nice chunks of shredded chicken. Could not have been better for a first time visit. My server was Bryan, and he's an impressive server. His suggestions were spot on. Grateful, for his honest input. One of those times that straight honesty rewarded us both! I wasn't going to have a drink. I changed my mind. I had the Diablo. Great pick for me. I did the frozen vs the over ice per my waiter. It had two perfectly placed frozen sliced jalapeño's placed on top. Plus, I ate them and they were super good! Glad I changed my mind and did something different. Their salsa is not good. Actually, it's horrible. It's from a can. All canned tomatoes with some jalapeños?? and dried spices tossed in. This place would be perfect if they changed their salsa recipe. It's pretty bad. Considering, everything else is really good. Not sure why they would use a short cut on the item every one tastes first at the restaurant. Makes no sense. This business would certainly benefit from a redo on the salsa. It's probably the worst sauce I've ever eaten. Otherwise, this place would be perfect!! July 2024

    The food and service were excellent. We had cabin fever and were happy that the restaurant was open. The table side guacamole was very good. Thanks for being open.

    What a surprising find in this shopping center! We saw some great reviews and decided to give it a try. This is very authentic Mexican food. We sampled lots on their appetizer platter. The flautas were my favorite - and usually I'm not much of a flautas fan. Service was very attentive and the menu had lots of options!

    Kids chicken and French fries

    My son insisted we post a picture of the chicken and French fries. In all seriousness, we come here almost every other week. Great service, good and margaritas.

    What a great find! While you can't really see it from the road as it sits back in a strip mall, it is SO worth the search. We wanted something different than the average menu around here, and while they offer a lot of standards, the Molcajete is absolutely a knock-your-socks-off experience. The lava rock was piled high with beef, chick, shrimp, peppers, onions, sauce, and more. we got plenty or tortillas to go with it as well. The appetizer sampler was huge, and we took well over half our food home as there were only two of us. The dining room is exactly what you'd expect in a strip mall. That said, the service is exceptional, and everyone working there appeared to help out each other. It's a true find on McDermott Road, and we will be back sooner rather than later.

    Tres Leches
    Joe R.

    First off, I know my internal barometer on price verses quality has not adjusted to the inflating prices, so my reviews might be harsher than usual. One thing I want to point out though, which is very strange, is that the appetizers are more expensive than the dinners, I don't know if I've ever seen this in a restaurant. The guacamole is $13.50 which is more than even fine dining Mexican restaurants, the quesadilla is $11, the shrimp cocktail is $17.50, so I'm not sure what's going on there, but they think very highly of their appetizers. It is a comfortable restaurant, nice ambience and good service. I ordered a fajita beef burrito and a sangria. The sangria was very good, not too sweet. They have a sangria swirl which is a frozen sangria, that might be sweeter for those who want that. That said, it was $10.50 which is way more pricey than I expected. The burrito was dry, I ordered the fajita beef which made it $15.50, but it didn't have a lot of beef in it, typical, mostly rice and beans. The tortilla was lukewarm, and once it got colder it became very stiff. The beef was actually really good, so maybe the fajitas are the way to go at this restaurant. The salsa here is not very flavorful, tomatoey, I asked for a hot sauce which was a green sauce, hoping it would bring more flavor with the heat, but it did not. I had the Tres Leches which was good, but dry. A Tres Leches should be soaked with milk, this one is more like a regular cake than a Tres Leches. Good, but not worth the calories. In summary, it had a nice ambience and good service, but the food was lacking. This place has good reviews so maybe the fajitas are amazing, or some other meal, or it's just the margaritas, but their burrito at $16 was far inferior to a burrito I get at a hole in a wall Mexican place. The burrito was dry,

    Great new spot! Delicious food. Great service. Liked the music. Had two enchiladas that tasted authentic.

    Chicken fajitas with veggies well done (per request)
    Sam B.

    Chicken Fajitas: chicken was a little overcooked but the well done veggies were as requested. The fajita setup was fresh and no negatives. The sour cream chicken enchiladas were spot on. Taste was good and sour cream sauce also solid. They added chopped jalapeños on top when requested at no charge. Service was attentive and restrooms were very clean. Overall restaurant was also clean and inviting. One last note. The guacamole on the setup and pico de gallo were very fresh and tasty.

    Cilantro lime rice, Al Pastore chicken, grilled veggies, corn veggies, pico de gallo, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce!

The restaurant is run super efficiently, but it is also very popular. This was our first time here, so it was surprising that it took longer to get our table than it did to get drinks, order, and get food. The salsa is excellent. Not mushy cooked salsa, it is thin with pieces of onion, cilantro, etc.... We loved the flavor, but there's definitely plenty of onion. Husband ordered a frozen margarita which he said was "limey and lush" with the perfect amount of salt. On our Deluxe Carne Asada and Carnitas plates, the meat was the star of the show. Beans, tortillas, rice, guac, cheese enchilada, and pico were all good, but the pork and beef were excellent. The marinade used on the carnitas left bright citrus hues. The asada was tender. The sopapilla was the most buttery tasting sopapilla I've ever had. The custom tables and chairs reflect the pride taken in having a nice space. The mural on the dining room wall is a lovely, bright focal point.

We finally got a table after about a 25 minute wait. We ordered the pork carnitas. The meat came in sizable chunks. Some pieces had a little fat, but most were pretty lean. They were all very tender and crispy on the outside. We also ordered a street taco dinner plate, which came with three tacos with proteins of our choice. We decided to go for a combination of beef, chicken, and pork. They were all delicious, but we liked the pork the most. It was moist and tender. We concluded the meal with some puffy sopaipillas. They were really good too! Our waiter was friendly and helpful, and very knowledgeable about the items on the menu. We enjoyed both the food and the service, and the lively vibe as well. We'll definitely come back. But next time we'll try to get there a little earlier to avoid the long wait.

The tables and floors are dirty with flakes of food. Just down right dirty. Ugh. Not sure when they ever wipe them down, if ever. Of all the tables on several visits I couldn't find a clean table to sit and eat. It's a taqueria? But, still offer table seating. I'm so confused. Not the usual spotless Mexican kitchen. The floors are dirty. Ugh. Crumbs all over the floor and it's sticky. I think most folks use Uber Eats. That's why they don't have a standard inside. Usually, kids, and I mean kids 16 and younger are running the counter and kitchen. The bottles are never wiped down. Caked on food on ketchup, green sauce, and red sauce bottles. Thus far I've not gotten sick. They don't speak English, but then I don't speak Spanish. So it's a wash! I'll probably go back. And pray every time I don't get sick. Thus far I've dodged the bullet! I'd like to support a small business. However, the prices are stupid crazy! Salsa and chips are $5.50. Refills are $1 each time for salsa. Pay up front too. Then they serve you. Don't expect refills either you have to pay first. ( I still leave a tip, but probably shouldn't). Food is always decent! Just know when eating in, it's not up to expectations as a consumer. Make your own judgments. Sticking to Uber eats may be your best bet! That way you don't see what really goes on inside this establishment. June-September 2024
