Enchiladas Trio
Tiffany L.

The customer service was excellent , there was a warm friendly welcome . The prickly pear drink is a must have , I so enjoyed that . For my entree I had the enchilada trio and it was just ok, the pork was devoid of any kind of flavor and seasoning the chicken was bland as well and the cheese was bland . My wife had the chicken burrito it was well seasoned to perfection and I'm regretting not getting that item. My chicken didn't even the same taste set the burrito my wife had .

Molchajate
Tawnya H.

The Molchajete was amazing! The enchilada trio was good. I did like the salsa when I hit a bit of fresh herbs.- not every bite had one. The service was really good, and the ambiance was nice. The furniture wasn't brightly painted - my red flag for Mexican restaurants. I like led the place. Not my favorite of all time - but good

The service was amazing when we first walked in, and the food was delicious plus the drinks we had as well. Although my husband didn't like his coronarita, I sure enjoyed mine. I will most definitely be coming back. Over all the atmosphere was amazing

My wife and I ate there on Saturday November 19, 2022. I had the burrito Jalisco. It was huge. It was loaded with chicken, shrimp, steak, chorizo, rice, beans, etc. No guacamole for me. It was seasoned well, delicious. I asked for hot sauce, the server brought me house made sauce. I loved it. It had good flavor, nice amount of heat. Delicious! My wife ordered Carne Esada tacos. The steak was tender, well seasoned, delicious. The refried beans were creamy, very tasty. The rice was OK, under seasoned, definitely needed salt. Overall, very tasty meal. I would recommend this restaurant.

Wow really nice place food was delicious, atmosphere was right there too, the woman that served us was outstanding, very kind and pleasant. She so polite and very helpful. That makes a big difference when you are eating in a restaurant. People really need to try this place. It's nice and pleasant and the food is great and affordable.

Do they have vegan options?

I didn't see any, but the definition of vegan can vary widely from person to person, so YMMV. Most dishes have cheese and/or meat of some type.

Located in a quiet plaza with plenty of parking. The shop is tucked in the very corner…read more This is the first decent Mexican restaurant I have encountered in VW, and they sell Boba drinks, which it is a weird mix. As a boba expert, I would not try their powdered boba drink. The taco price are a bit high. But there isn't too many competition in town. Order was placed at the counter, and they take smart phone payments too. The background music is not too loud, and we didn't have to yell at each other to carry a conversation. Orders were served within timely manner. The taco plate i ordered was delicious. The shrimps were freshly pan seared The tortillas were heated as well. The carne asada was tasty too. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food. I also tried their fried plantain which it was yum but greasy. Their cakes were moist and sweet. The interior of the restaurant is broad, and we were able to move the tables around to combine a couple tables. They do not have outdoor seating. Overall, this place gets a 4.6 out of 5. You should definitely try it out.

Absolutely Obsessed with Mxcocina!! After raving about this spot to my friend she decided to visit…read moreand give it a try! As always we were blown away. This restaurant may not look like much, but it's a true hidden gem in Ranson!! (Located all the way at the end of the strip) It is a family owned restaurant offering out-of-this-world food and service! The staff was beyond hospitable! There are tons of boba tea options both fruit or milks teas. Their menu is impressive offering authentic dishes, that you simply cannot go wrong with. I promise you, this spot is so worth the stop!

All the benefits of Chipotle, none of the E. coli…read more Seriously, this place is clean, staff are friendly, and the food is delicious. Prices are as expected. We will be back here often.

When we arrived everyone (Cashier, trainer and cook) were on their phone as there was no-one else…read morein the location. Friday night and dead empty, so we had the place to ourselves. We went up to the cashier who was training a new employee and they were very friendly and waited for us to decide what we'd like to order. My daughter chose a quesadilla, my wife a salad bowl and I chose the burrito. We ordered chips and salsa plus cheese sauce. The food came out hot, flavorful and nicely prepared. The burrito was stuffed and made well with just the right seasonings, a little too much rice to meat ratio but that's to be expected these days. The salad bowl was nice but looked a bit odd as all the toppings and meat were at the bottom and the chopped romaine on top. The quesadilla was well made, hot and grill marked as expected. The sides of sour cream and salsa were cold and pre portioned. Overall the food scored well in flavor, presentation, temperature and speed of service. The lackluster side of the operation dragged that down. No music, no availability of hot sauces, and the wall or heat not even plugged in and lit up or filled up. They mainly had two sauces available and had one per section at best. The other ones we wanted were there but empty, as well as the sauce at the table. Lastly the disgusting hot sauce spilled all over the condiment container was not very appealing, appetizing or clean. I just pushed it aside and went about the meal. It's a shame to see what was once a vibrant dining location ended up as a dull, lifeless operation. Probably best to order to go and perhaps that's what they were going for that night. Bathrooms were clean, soda station needed to be wiped down, sauce racks cleaned and stocked and table condiment racks boiled and sanitized. Meh at best. Suggest you bring your own hot sauce, and container of sanitizer wipes plus hand sanitizer.

Always great service and great food. My favorite Mexican restaurant anywhere! Highly recommend the…read moreshrimp tacos, and the fish tacos. But literally everything I've tried has been awesome! Im a local.

The interior was nice, but the service was honestly one of the most frustrating restaurant…read moreexperiences I've had in a while. Our server barely understood English, and even simple questions turned into a whole situation. I asked FOUR separate times whether the spicy salsa was free. I literally said, "If it's free, I'll take it. If not, never mind." The server kept saying yes, it was free... so we ate it. Then the check comes out with a $3.99 charge for the salsa When I asked why it was charged after being told multiple times it was free, the server still kept saying "free" while staring at the receipt. At that point I had to ask for the manager because we were clearly not communicating. The manager said there was a "language barrier issue," BUT because we already ate it, we still had to pay for it. That part honestly blew my mind. If I asked about the price four times before ordering, clearly the whole point was that I didn't want it if it cost extra What made it worse was the attitude. The server never apologized once and the manager acted super confident like this was somehow normal. And honestly... the food wasn't even worth the drama. Everything was ridiculously salty, and the salsa tasted like someone mixed it with water. Cool interior. Terrible experience. Definitely not coming back.
