    Menu Beware Price Increase

    The reason for 2 stars is the meat in the combination plater. The meat had no taste, and Taco Bell meat tasted better than the meat I had here. You can tell it was not ground beef. The service was ok. Maybe if you don't get a combination, then you get real meat.

    dry ass tacos nd some fcked up nachos

    spent 30$ on this food, jus to get home and seee that they gave my sister chicken instead of steak when she wwas extremely clear over the phone. and didnt give me any sauce for my tacos. I call to ask for a remake of the order I can pick up at a later date bc I have no way to come back, she tells me "you have to ask for the sauce" but she can remake the nachos. since when? every time I come I get the same thing and i've NEVER asked for sauce it automatically comes with the tacos. Then continues to argue over the phone with me over this, like girl i'm not finna eat these dry ass tacoswhich is why I need the fckin sauce like tf , but I wont be eating here again. customer service is trash they need sb else on the phone. El molcajete cantina & grill in Duncan good asf tho go to them! they neva forget the sauce and yes i'm heated bc i'm hungry asf and ts trash

    The food was delicious, both the pollo adobe and the chori pollo, both requested spicy.

    Went here with family while I was visiting over Memorial Day weekend. Fortunately, I come from…read moreCalifornia, so I know Mexican food pretty well. The food here was well seasoned, and the service was good. I ordered the Molcajete, which came with chicken, shrimp, steak, nopales, cheese, and sauce. The sauce was okay, but my favorite part was the char on the meat. They did that really well. It also came with a side of rice, beans, and salad. Overall, it was nice to have some Mexican food while being so far from home.

    I've driven by this restaurant a few times but only stopped when most things were closed for 4th of…read moreJuly. We walked in and the place was busy. 90% of people speaking Spanish and I have to say I always feel at home being we are from California. Also a very good indicator the food will be good. I got the street taco plate with Asada, Carnitas and Pastor. My hubby got the Steak Fajita Quesadilla. First let me start by saying the Carnitas was hands down the best I've had in many years. Most places have "surface level" flavor but this pork had flavor throughout. Like someone's abuelita spent the whole day cooking it. The pastor was also super delicious! I'm so happy to have found a place that knows how to make both of these meats. It's worth mentioning that my husband made me try his refried beans, noting "these are the good kind". I agreed they were delicious. Our server was the sweetest girl and I'm so sorry I forgot her name. But we will be back, especially to try the fajitas that were calling my name from a table across the room!
