Molcajete seemed like a wise choice. Not because these folks were featured in The New York Times-…read morebecause to me, that means nothing unless your food is out of this world. But because I'd gotten an urge for shrimp tacos and this was convenient as I caught up with errands underneath the L on a Friday. Guess what? A lot has changed since Molcajete was first heralded 7 years ago by the NYT as that BX diamond in the rough Mexican restaurant. Good luck finding parking because it's mayhem in this area weaving in and out of traffic. Just phone your order for pick up. Molcajete has bright color walls, lots of seating and Mexican music in the background to add even more of a vibrant feel. Carolina ran up my order and when I noticed the $16 price tag for 3 shrimp tacos, my eyes bulged. All I thought was, "these better be delicious and packed real good with shrimp". No and no. And with chopped up shrimp pieces no less. My 3 tacos were ridiculously overstuffed with lettuce+tomatoes+onions. But, it seemed like these folks used 1 large shrimp and chopped it in 4 pieces. I can't even. Mom's steak quesadilla also had small pieces of protein instead of bigger strips I'm used to seeing at other Mexican restnts. Horchata was off and my Nopal salad had vinegar for crying out loud. Whatever happened to traditional freshly squeezed lime juice??? I can't. Listen, I support any Bronx business through and through- even giving them a 2nd chance to redeem themselves. But I will call a spade a spade- and to me this isn't it.

Their aguas frescas taste great and the food never disappoints. Huge fan of their quinoa poblano bowl, of course their other dishes are just as savory. I've had my debatable experiences here (service wise) which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. Overall, a great place with authentic Mexican flavors! :D

The restaurant is gigantic and there were plenty of waitresses, waiters and servers going around to ensure great service, loved this from the very beginning!! Our waitress was so nice, so friendly and so caring, I think her name she said was Maribel... she made sure to give us an extra excellent service. Food was delicious, they have a HUGE menu, just like the restaurant. We had guacamole as appetizer and chips + salsa from the house. For entree we shared chilaquiles al pastor, beef tostadas and steak quesadillas and everything was so so so delicious and made with love you could taste it!! Music was popping to be honest, they had a pretty nice playlist of Latin music at first... then around 5-6pm a dj started playing music. I will definitely come back and try some drinks, that also looked interesting and very good by the looks on people drinking. Definitely a must try place!!! Looks so different from the outside, definitely a surprise when you come in!!!

Additionally the person answers the phone has you repeat yourself multiple times. It really should not so complicated I called the restaurant at 7pm to check the status of my order tonight and they said it was an additional 45 minutes after placing the order at 6:30pm. I was getting ready to drive to the restaurant and two minutes later the delivery guy rang my bell. Last week on a Saturday night we called 3x times after getting hung up on twice to place an order for fajitas. After waiting an hour, the delivery guy called to say he was outside however poor guy was given the wrong address. We ended up cancelling our order due to the lack of professionalism and poor service. At that point I didn't even want the fajitas. The food is great however the service for delivery is not good at all.

We ordered the Coctel de Camarón, Carne Arrachera, Horchata, and the Queso Fundido with Chorizo & Steak, and every single dish was packed with flavor.

Overall, this was a 10/10 experience. Between the incredible food and outstanding service, we'll definitely be coming back.

This restaurant is smaller in size, which gave it a different atmosphere. Unfortunately, my family and I were seated near a television and a speaker that played music throughout our visit. At times, the music was loud enough to make conversation difficult, which took away from the overall dining experience. For my meal, I ordered the chicken and shrimp tacos. The tacos were a generous size, and the shrimp was noticeably more flavorful than the chicken. I would highly recommend using the sauce that comes with them, as it adds much-needed flavor and enhances the overall taste. While the tacos were somewhat mild on their own, they were enjoyable once paired with the sauce. The nachos and chips were a highlight of the meal. They were fresh, flavorful, and incredibly addictive. They were the type of appetizer that kept everyone reaching for more. The guacamole was decent, but it did not stand out and could have been more flavorful.
