    Edith was our server and was very attentive to our party of 10 for birthday party the drinks were very good , we had the Mango Margaritas Blended and they were served with plenty of alcohol which is very good thank goodness we weren't driving. THE GRUB: We started with the chips and salsa The chips were average 2/5 Stars and the salsa tasted like warm red enchilada sauce no thanks. 0 / Zero stars. The Molcajete Verde had Chicken and Angus beef 3/5 Stars and came with nopales and green enchilada sauce it also came with a side of rice and beans. next we had the Shrimp rancheros 4.5/5 Stars which went up quite a bit in price -.5 stars but we're still very good. This is my very first visit since 2024 and they have dropped off quite a bit from quality and quantity of their Molcajetes from what they used to be. My suggestion is skip the Angus beef and get the Caren Asada in your Molcajete. The flavors of the food still beat any Mexican themed restaurant in Bakersfield that serves Molcajetes.

    My husband is a creature of habit and Los Molcajetes has been one of our go to date night spots for many years. It's comforting to be able to come in to a familiar restaurant knowing exactly what we're gonna order - a supreme molcajete with extra queso freso, extra tortillas de harina and 2 Mangoniadas. At this point, I'm not sure if they are actually called mango margaritas, but our servers always know what we're ordering when we come in. This Saturday was a little bit more of a wait than usual, but it was expected. All 3 party tables were full plus all booths, it was a full house! Theres a DJ spinning a variety of tunes, and it's fun to see the servers bring out drinks and desserts to those celebrating their birthdays. Our server did her best to check in periodically and apologized for the wait. We didn't mind, we enjoy our time out and it just gives us a reason to stay out later than usual ;) The only real negative thing I have to say about this place is the rose vendors that come around to your table. I get why they do it, but I remember a time when this was only done at night clubs, not restaurants.

    We reserved for a birthday party. From the start we mentioned we would have separate checks and that was just a mess. The music can get VERY loud, and I mean very loud. Our server was really nice and patient with us because we were a big group. The molcajete is what they're known for and it was okay... wasn't spicy, a bit dry and the meat was very chewy. Enchiladas were fantastic

    Came here to eat dinner with friends. We were seated next to some very loud people that were being absolutely obnoxious. Our server, Grace, was very gracious with us. She was very helpful and accommodating to us. Definitely can say that if it wasn't for her, we would've had a not so pleasant experience because of the people next to us. The food was also amazing but there should be more servers like Grace, to make the experience more memorable. Definitely will be back here the next time I'm in Bakersfield.

    Food was great got the Shrimp Molcajete sauce has a good kick to it. Grace was our server and she was very quick and on top of the service.

It was a delicious meal, all the proteins were well cooked and it was seasoned perfectly. I ordered it medium and it had just the right amount of heat, I might be able to go up one more heat level if I was feeling adventurous but their medium was just right. The Thai Tea was fantastic as well, you can't really go wrong with Thai Tea. I finished the meal with one of their mango ice cream macaroons and I really enjoyed that as well. The shell was nice and crispy and complimented the sweet mango ice cream perfectly . It was a really great first experience and has me excited to head back one day to try out some of their seafood.

We made a big mistake ordering peeled shrimps because the shrimps received were very small. Lesson learned, always keep the head-on for shrimps! They also skimped heavily on the sauce, which is a dealbreaker for Cajun food. The Works sauce has good flavor, but there wasn't nearly enough of it. Paying that much for so little is a bit frustrating. I've tried many different cajun seafood places and I don't think I'll be visiting here again.

I ordered the shrimp fajitas and my husband ordered the chicken and steak molcajete. Our food was brought out super fast! The portions - humongous! But the food is so good! My husband is super picky when it comes to Mexican food, and he said this molcajete is his favorite so far compared to other Mexican restaurants we've been to. The bright colorful colors and great music selection really make it joyous and fun dining experiences. Highly recommend.
