    Food - bland Small place with a cute patio with a car cover outside Tables are large and there is a seat right in front of the gate to get in- I walked around I felt bad for the guy sitting g there - he had to move every time people came in - he could t eat in peace- seating outside feels crowded - A huge menu with pictures - the pictures don't look appetizing and it turns out- they are correct I did get a half order of the steak fries that was nice of the waiter to do - I don't know what the meat was - it was supposed to be steak - possibly a shredded steak ? It wasn't tasty - I wanted to try it though I got the combo fajitas - steak - chicken and shrimp- I should have gone burrito burrito burrito . That looked good at another table. My food came out in stages- steak feisty - cold- then beans rice guac ? And watery sour creme- the green sauce was good with the half bowl of chips - Service - weak - I saw him at the order - dropped off food and then the check- they do have Mexican come with cane sugar - that's a win. It wasn't cheap or expensive - reasonable- Will I be back ? No -

    camarones al mojo de ajo
    Sandy N.

    We had such a great experience at Los Molcajetes! Everything was absolutely delicious. I ordered the molcajete and it was packed with flavor...perfectly cooked and so satisfying. My husband had the camarones al mojo de ajo and they were just as amazing. Also their green salsa was soooo good! We came in as a party of 10 on a Saturday, and the service was still excellent...attentive, friendly, and accommodating the whole time. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to!

    Asada super nachos $17

    Not bad at all, it was okay. Very average, nothing amazing. Huge menu, place was spotless, all the workers were friendly. I've had super burritos for less money with more meat inside. Same goes for their super nachos. The asada didn't have a ton of flavor. Everything was hot and fresh though. Their hot sauce left a little to be desired. Overall it was decent. I'd probably try somewhere else before going back.

    As 0f today. The best restaurant in downtown benicia! Food is fantastic service par excellence. Ambience is like old town san diego. No frills just great food. Menu is broad. Weekend menus as well. Try it!

    The food is poor. This place just opened and while it was crowded because it is new, it's not a good place to spend $100. For 3 dinners.

    *** Vegetarian Review ***…read more You order at the counter. I told the staff that it was my first time, but wanted a breakfast burrito. She didn't just take my order, she made sure I got the breakfast burrito exactly like I imagined. The best review I can provide - my first visit was on February 18. I've already been back 3 times in under 1 week. Each time I've ordered the breakfast burrito, but I do want to try their cheese enchiladas and chili relleno.Seating Limited inside seating. 7 tables, probably a maximum capacity of 25 people. Outside seating - 2 picnic style tables. No salsa and chip bar. They have the salsas in a fridge behind the counter. Chips aren't self-serve either. Breakfast Burrito ($14.50, Grade A) - typically comes with a wheat tortilla. Choice of pinto, refried, or black beans. Rice, scrambled eggs, sour cream, cheese, avocado slices, salsa Fresca, and roasted tomato sauce and lettuce. I was really happy she asked me "do you want the wheat or white tortilla?" I went with una tortilla blanca. Great size for a burrito. The fresh avocado slices are a nice touch to elevate the burrito versus guacamole that can get messy. Plus, guac inside of a burrito usually makes the burrito cold, but fresh slices fixed that issue. Plenty of scrambled egg in every bite. One of the better breakfast burritos I've had. Can't confirm if the tortilla is housemade, but it has that texture. You know the last bites of the burrito have that texture? In this case, every bite has that same texture. Fajita Tostada Salad ($15.95, Grade A) - flour tortilla shell filled with warm black beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, salsa Fresca, sour cream, and guacamole. Not sure where the fajita part of the menu comes into play because not much fajita-ish about this dish. Substitions - instead of grilled chicken, they allowed a free swap for rice. Cool looking dish. Who doesn't like a fried flour tortilla bowl? The thing that sticks out about this menu item was the bowl fillings were hot. Many times when I order taco salad bowls, the fillings are room temp. Having the dish warm-hot made a world of difference and made it truly feel like a meal. This dish comes with a salsa verde that acts like a salad dressing. If you are familiar with Dos Coyote Howlin' Tostada dressing, this was similar. Salsas - they have mild and hot. Hot is totally doable and if you can handle a little spice, it makes every bite of the breakfast burrito that much better. Bottom Line - friendly service. Delicious food. If you take it to go, make sure to ask for chips and salsa because they won't automatically put it in the bag.

    Things really have gotten better…read more Me and my wifey have been going here for years. But one thing that has been really annoying was that the last couple times we've gone, the service hasn't been the best. Our orders have been wrong multiple times. But this recent visit was different. Last week we came by and decided to sit outside since it's been warmer. In my head, I was thinking, "I'm gonna be so sad if they forget about us." Like literally 30 seconds a super kind kid came out and greeted us and asked if we wanted some chips and salsa. Thank god! Things were starting to look up! I ordered a Beer Batter Fish Taco Dinner with flour instead of corn tortillas. They were so good. The fish didn't have too much breading. The seasoning was perfect. But I was shocked with the sauce that it came with. I don't know what it was but it was a light green and creamy texture. Maybe a cilantro or avocado crema? Whatever it is, if you order the tacos, you gotta add this crema to them. It is a must!

    It appears the restaurant's recently been through yet another "management change" with a renewed…read morecommitment at better food and customer service. And from my recent experience, I can say I'm impressed. And ready to return, rather than dismissing them as before. They've posted extended hours now, opening at 7am most days. But, this is sorta fluid depending on when the single employee-cook-cashier shows up on any given day (typically somewhere between 7:10-7:25am. Lights on, doors presumably unlocked, but "open" signs in the windows suspiciously set to off. Probably not wishing to serve customers until around 8, despite what the business signs say truthfully is my guess? Hit with the language barrier at the drive-thru speaker and my Spanglish wasn't cutting it. Come up to the window please. But my Huevos Rancheros breakfast plate was banging'! Twist on the traditional recipe with bife (chopped steak) underneath the huevos (eggs). Comes with rice & beans and a side of tortillas of choice. I loved it! Muy bueno. The menu board & daily specials are extensive. And the prices are fair by comparison. Look forward to returning again soon.

    I love this place now…read more It helps that I live only a couple blocks away from here. But man is the food good now. I feel like I've been going here at least once a month with friends and the experience is always really good. When we enter the music is always good. Usually it's some kind of oldie R&B or rock I think. This recent visit we tried the sliders for the 1st time and man were they good! They are better than the actual burger they have on the menu. The other one with the fig jam just tastes like it's trying too hard. I get that it's Benicia and the brewery is trying to be a little more upscaled but man I miss the burger they had with the Bacon Jam.

    decent atmosphere. ok food. poor service (+ a bit expensive) …read more.. we ate there with a small group. service was slow to start, but we were an easy group: simple drinks and food. they brought the wrong drinks -- we said ok (drank them). the beer was mediocre. 1/3 of the food was waaaaay delayed -- we said ok. the check had to be hunted down -- we rolled our eyes at the automatic 20% gratuity added and the tiny cost (-15%) adjustment for the late food. overall the burger was ok. the patty looked pre-formed/frozen and the bun was cut poorly which made for awkward eating, but the flavors were good: brie and fig. the +$3 salad was a complete rip-off -- a handful of spring mix with vinaigrette (stick with the bagged chips). the total for me, my wife + kid was $100 which was too much for poor service and late food. i'd never purposefully go back.
