    Molcajete
    Adam O.

    Passing through and we saw the reviews on this place so we decided to give it a try. We will definitely be back! Great food and service. The cheese is as good as all the reviews say, get it. The guac was really good too once a little salt was added. And the Margarita's were good and very reasonably priced. As for food, the Molcajete was excellent. I will be ordering this again. It came with carnitas, beef, shrimp, chicken, and chorizo along with a ton of vegetables. It was all really good but my favorites were the shrimp and chorizo. Huge serving size was also a plus. My wife said the Pina Rellena Fajitas were great as well. As for other food, the chicken quesadilla was just ok because of the shredded chicken being dry and the chicken enchilada was even drier so that made it worse. Both had shredded chicken in them which I would not order again. My grilled chicken in the Molcajete was excellent however so I would just stay away from the shredded chicken personally. Our server was friendly, helpful, and attentive so this is a major strength here as well!

    Pro tip: Spicy salsa and normal mixed with chips!

    First time at Don Marcos and we love Mexican food. To start ask for the spicy salsa and mix it with the normal table salsa for a bit of a perfect blend of flavor and heat. The location is clean and not very loud even when full. Nice staff and friendly for new guests. I ordered the Pina Rellena Fajitas which is a mixed meat fajita plate ( chorizo, steak and chicken) served in a PINEAPPLE! The juice soaks into the spicy fajita flavors in a sweet surprise. I have only been here once, but if a local this would be it for me! A real delight. My wife and daughter split the chicken fajitas single. It was plenty for the two of them. They liked the flavor and loved the rice and beans. Very authentic rice and beans. Guacamole was ver good also. One critique is the inclusion of tomatoes in the fajitas. They did not like them as it seemed to dilute the fajita flavor with too much extra liquid. But we all went away happy.

    Our family of five stop by for a quick meal at Don Marcos. The staff was very friendly and the food was good. Overall, it was a fine experience.

    Sometimes when a place first opens its very popular, and then portions, service, cleanliness, go down hill! I am afraid the day we stopped by, this was the case. Mid afternoon, and we were spotted menus, table had residue from the day. I wiped with a wetone, and ordered, our usual attentive server was not as prompt. And we had to ask for many items. And when our food came it was missing items the menu said it had. At that point my hubby I could see was disappointed, and so was I We ate our meal, but last time we were in the area and I said honey you want to try Mexican he said not really. So we shall see, I, this business consistency is important, and cleanliness.

    So happy to see a good Mexican restaurant in Kodak. After being to El Paso many times I can't say that the food is even authentic Mexican anymore. It's an Americanized Taco Bell imitation. Moving on, this a great hole in the wall located beside the Food City plaza in Kodak. The tiny place churns out great fajitas, chimichangas, and get the Molcajete! It was chicken, beef, steak and shrimp in a cast iron bowl smothered with cheese. I ate it three times it was so much food for 13$ it doesn't get any better. Not sure if they have liquor yet but I live so close it doesn't matter. Very personable staff and zero language barriers. They also do lunch specials even on Saturdays. Gracias!!!

    Wow, oh wow! This place is an absolute gem--one of those rare, authentic, soul-warming spots that…read moreyou can't help but fall in love with. It's locally and family-owned, and you can taste the love in every single bite. Everything is made fresh, cooked to order, and bursting with the kind of flavor that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate what's happening on your taste buds. I'm from out of state, but every time I'm back in town, this is a non-negotiable stop. A must. A ritual. A comfort! Even though the space itself is small, the heart of this restaurant is enormous. The staff is warm, genuine, and attentive, and the chef/owner radiates passion--you can tell he truly cares about the craft of cooking and about giving guests an unforgettable experience. I ordered the house salad with their Italian dressing--crisp, refreshing, and bright. Then came the star of the night: the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and bell peppers. Let me tell you... I don't think I'll ever get this Alfredo out of my mind. The sauce is silky, rich, and creamy without being heavy--pure comfort wrapped around perfectly cooked pasta. Easily one of the best Alfredo dishes I've ever had. Dessert was the limoncello cake, and it was phenomenal. Delicately lemony, light, and the perfect sweet finish. My friend ordered the traditional marinara with meat (robust, comforting, and full of Italian-home-cooking warmth) and the tiramisu, which was soft, airy, and wonderfully balanced. And I can't forget the bruschetta--remarkable. The tomatoes were fresh and juicy, the bread had the perfect crunch, and that touch of sweet glaze tied it all together like a little bite of heaven. I truly hope this place stays around for years to come. It's the kind of family restaurant you want to cheer on and watch grow. I can't wait to see how they expand--and I already can't wait to come back.

    As soon as you walk in, you can smell the delicious aroma of roasted garlic. Which makes me, so…read morevery very hungry. Good thing we made reservations for the place was hopping. We were seated quickly, and our drinks were delivered. We ordered appetizer of fried calamari. 3 salads, 2 were Cesear, and a, large house salad tossed with Italian dressing. Hubby had baked ziti with mozzarella, and ricotta cheese. He loved it. Seriously he licked his plate with his garlic bread! Mom had Veal Parm with ziti she loved! I had Shrimp a la fra Diavolo, Sauteed shrimp with garlic and red pepper tossed in marinara and white wine sauce (Spicy I enjoyed) All was delicious,mom wanted tiramisu times 2 to go, she loves theirs! The family that owns this little gem, are so kind, and hard working!
