Keep driving... The food was absolutely terrible! The salsa was terrible. The cheese enchiladas were rubber, the taco had more grease than in a crisco can. The rice tasted like a sponge, and then beans were pathetic. And the Pine-Sol on the floor took away your appetite... because the taste of the food sure did! read more

After our favorite Mexican food joint closed down (RIP Maíz Cozina!!) my guy and I were hungry for a place we could call our own. We need a regular Mexican food restaurant where we can go to relax, eat good food, drink perfect margaritas, and enjoy attentive service. Los Molcajetes is now the spot! Initially, we were exhausted, and had given up on trying to find a new place, and had headed to Texas Roadhouse. Well, the wait was outrageous, so I said, "Let's just go there," and pointed to the next restaurant in the parking lot. Luck was on our side! After just a short wait, we were lead to a comfy booth, where we were promptly greeted by a runner, then our server, and chips, and 2 salsas, and water, and everything flowed on at a good pace for the entire meal. Our server was funny and on top of her game, which we made sure to tell the manager. Queso with ground beef + salsa = happy! The chips are light and crispy. We ordered Al Pastor and Barbacoa plates, which are massive, and "Perfect Margaritas." I was so happy with the food, the freshness of the tortillas, the drinks, I can't even say. We happily ate up most of (not all!) our leftovers the next lunch time with scrambled eggs. It was just as good the next day. No joke. I think that was Friday. It's Monday, and I already want to go back. read more

Great little stop. Very warm and inviting. We were greeted automatically and seated. This establishment was immaculate and in order. Chips nice and crisp and salsa (a little spicy) but yummy. Ordered tripas and I was ask if I liked them chewy or crisp. Amazing and hit the spot. read more

Best Mexican Food in the Midwest without a doubt. Amazing service and the food comes out quick and fresh.

Great Margaritas and food. Fast service and would recommend to anyone Get the super burrito

Wow! How could we have missed this for so many years. Yes, lived in Mansfield for five years we took our first trip here the other night. So much food on the enchilada plate. Not one, not two but three enchiladas. Enough to share and still couldn't eat it all. The refried been where vey unique and flavorful. Cheese enchiladas perfect as well as the rice. We will be back soon! Oh, their dark sauce, oh my. HOT and bitter hot! It rocked! read more

Los Molcajetes - In the bar... - Mexican Near Me - Mansfield, Texas

Dined in today. I must say that we absolutely loved the food, as well as the service, from Julio. Their covid safety was great, we were greeted with a smile in a timely matter and the restaurant was clean. Another great part about dining in today (Monday), was the $3 special margaritas. It was really good. Didn't taste like a $3 margarita. Great lunch and drinks. The only small thing that caught my attention, was that the kitchen was a little noisy, but the great music, helped drown it out. read more

Absolutely awesome food! Big proportions. The guacamole was delicious too. The service was fast and the atmosphere is nice. We would highly recommend this restaurant!!! read more

Best most authentic Mexican food in the area. Generous portions. Wonderful service.

Food quality has improved! The queso now has a little kick to it and the chicken and steak in the quesadillas were tender and flavorful. The frozen margarita was good but there was barely any tequila in it. The manager even stopped by and talked to us which was a first. Overall, I was impressed and will continue to dine here! read more

Yelp didn't steer us wrong on this place, 5:30 on a Thursday is a great time to visit, not many people there, staff all wearing masks, which made us happy. We were seated immediately, server showed right up, took our drink and queso order, my husband asked for recommendations, very knowledgeable about the menu and the taste of the food. When she said her grandmother makes good mole and this place has good mole I knew it would be good. I had the Chicken con Mole with sauteed veggies, huge portion of chicken, had to bring half home! My husband had the babacoa, which he said was delicious, it melted in his mouth, and the charra beans were great too. Service was speedy and very friendly, definitely be going back when we are in the neighborhood! read more

Food is good, Host Josefina make us feel unwalcome. Waitress give us good service. I won't come back again.

Came here on a Friday night and it didn't seem to busy. There were 6 of us and the hostess told us give them 5 minutes as there was a table being cleaned. The waitress in that area said she couldn't handle a large table as her area was crowded. I get it so they told us it would be about another 5 minutes. Well it ended being almost 30 but during the waiting the manager kept us updated and was very apologetic. Which made a big difference. Once we were seated he brought a large queso for the table and again apologized for the extra wait and thanked us for our patience. We thought the food would take just as long but surprisingly it was pretty quick. Everything was delicious! Fajitas, enchiladas, tacos-everything was great! We will definitely be going back. read more

We were so glad Texas Roadhouse next door had a line stretching outside...convinced us to try Los Molcajetes instead and boy am I glad we did! We were going to sit on the patio but the music was SO loud (and we like loud music) but this was crazy, so we sat inside. Given chips and salsa quickly (2 different kinds of salsa, a mild, fresh super tomato-y version flavored nicely with onions and cilantro) and then more intense and smokey flavored chipotle type. Both were good and even better mixed together. I didn't like how waters didn't come with the chips...waters didn't arrive until we ordered them with our drinks later. To me, a restaurant should never drop chips without dropping waters as well, but fortunately that was the biggest complaint I can make. As always with us, chips and queso follow...very yummy!!! Good flavor and especially complimentary with the salsas. Again, I was mixing them all together. For drinks, hubby was happy to find his favorite, Dos XX, on tap and they have frozen schooners. A big plus in his book. I had the frozen margarita swirl. Also served in a schooner and SOOOO good. Better than average, IMO. Entrees were good as well. I had the fajita enchiladas which are 3 cheese enchiladas with either chicken or beef on top. My go-to generally if it's on the menu. The meat was flavored so well, I was impressed. Enchiladas are good sized and loaded with cheese. Another plus. Hubby had the taco platter and they were huge! He loved them. Portions are huge so there's LOTS to take home. Definitely coming back to this gem...we love when we can find good Tex-Mex close to home, and Los Molcajetes fits the bill just fine. Can't wait to go back. read more

Great place for a Mexican Breakfast. Huevos Rancheros is delicious. Wonderful homemade tortillas. The chips are light and crispy and best with their wonderful Salsa Verde. Note: you have to ask for the salsa verde. Service is fast. Also they have plenty of TVs if you are wanting to catch a game while you dine. We will definitely be back! read more

We ordered The Sampler and the meat, especially the chicken has no flavor at all. I haven't eaten all day and I told my husband he could have it all to himself. I'm eating the free salsa and chips. Disappointed read more

Los Molcajetes - Salsa ok. Meat has no seasoning. - Mexican Near Me - Mansfield, Texas

Margaritas are soooo overpriced. I really do get upset when a "Mexican" restaurant charges so much for basically the same thing with a different name. Has very little vegetables to offer on chicken plates and the server was rude slow and when asked why he kept passing us and ignoring us he said "I didn't realize I was" and than tried to act like he didn't speak english I speak both English and Spanish but he tried me. read more

Tasty food and huge portions! Hard to beat! Love their chips. Even the 2 year old grandson loves their fajitas and tortillas!

Great food and service. Loved everything I got! Shrimp are HUGE and salsa was great too.

First time trip here. Might go back but probably not. Just wasn't impressed with the food. We had the al pastor and the Barbacoa beef dinner plates. The portion size was large, but at $15 a plate it should be. We just didn't care for either of them. The staff was ok and the beer selection was ok if you want Mexican draft. Just not what we thought it would be. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon, they had a playoff game on, they have lots of TVs, though many are blocked by the wheel decor they have. We get chips and salsa brought to us. We order the cheese with ground beef. It was really good, definitely recommend. I got the beef chimichanga. They brought it out very fast and came with rice and beans and a bit of guacamole. It was a good portion for the price and I definitely got full. It tasted good too. Service was good too considering how many tables she had. I would definitely go back they have an interesting menu. read more

This place was delicious.. a pleasant surprise. Coming from California, I prefer authentic Mexican food, not tex mex and their verdes sauce was THE TRUTH!! Our service was great too! We will be back for sure. read more

Only reason this place stays in business is because of their charro beans and the fact that they have a bar.

**THIS ONE IS FOR THE QUESO LOVERS! I ordered a large queso with meat for our whole table, I think the price was $6.99 for a large & $4.99 for a small. When we got it I noticed the really large bowl was very shallow. So I asked our waiter for the size of the small. He kindly brought me an empty small bowl.... THE WHOLE LARGE QUESO FIT IN THAT SMALL PRICED BOWL PERFECTLY. Our waiter was so nice and brought me out another small to accommodate the price difference but I hate to think of how many more customers are being taken advantage of. Maybe it's just the Texan in me but no one should ever have to miss out on their extra scoop of queso!!!! Especially when it's paid for. Other than that- the restaurant was very busy, you can tell they are popular in the area. The margaritas were good & the food was delish. Will definitely visit again, just with my queso guard up. read more

First one ever being here and my friend and I went to eat on the patio. The food we got wasn't bad but the wait service just took way too long and the waiter took the order of a family that was sat and few minutes after us, which I thought was rude cuz she didn't even ask us first if we was even ready to order (which we were). The long wait was the only bad thing. The frozen Mango margarita in my opinion is the star of the place. One of the best I've had in a while. Definitely recommend them. Menu kinda pricey but not too expensive. read more

I tried this restaurant for the first time this weekend. Inside the restaurant is decorated very festive and it has about 8 flat screen TVs throughout the restaurant. The type of music selection was not my favorite. They should maybe mix it up with different styles of Mexican music. The sever was a happy young man that was helpful in explaining some of the menu items. We started with some drinks from the bar. Drinks Margarita Michelada The margarita was mixed very well. As for the michelada it was bit spicy for my taste. We order Carne Asada Beef & Shrimp Fajitas Both meals were brought out on a hot skillet which I liked. I always like the skillet option because it keeps your meal warm. The meats were both tender and flavorful. The corn tortillas were not my favorite but the flour ones are home made style those were yummy. Sorry for the glare on the menu pictures. read more

Every time we come the food has been delicious, and our service has been great. The menudo is awesome. Menudo

Service started off really badly. We sat at the bar. This place has ice cold beer. It took forever to get menus, served our beer and order taken. However, the food came out promptly and then a lady actually started staying behind the bar it got better. Food was good for Tex mex. Nothing really stood out to me to make this place special other than how cold their beer was. read more

We went for lunch on a weekday. Seated right away in the area we wanted. The chips are THE best and the salsa is great too. My wife had the enchiladas verdes and I had the lunch version of the beef enchiladas. The servings were generous, the flavor was outstanding, the food was hot, the price was right, and our server, Giesele was attentive. It was a chilly, Rainey day and there was a nice fire in the fireplace. We'll be back! read more

The best Mexican food! Super authentic. I am from California and I have always been used to authentic Mexican food. This is not tex mex! Best customer service. Super inexpensive and the portions were amazing. Yassss! Would return 1000 times! read more

Went to this restaurant last night January 29 2022, got there about 6:30. Yes, they were busy and I understand that. We had 2 waitresses and one waiter. They were confused and so were we. Finally got our drinks after 15 minutes. Took us over a hour to get the food. I say all this to say that three other tables were seated in the same waiters area. They were there after I was and got their food before us. That's when I got upset. Will I go back? Yes! Just a bad night for the waiter and my party also. read more

First time here, randomly chose it. The food was amazing. Service was great. Clean & friendly. I had the fish & shrimp with their special sauce. My wife ate the fajitas. The portions size was larger than most places. We will Absolutely be back. read more

The most-recent expansion of this Texas Restaurant group landed in Mansfield along highway 287 in the old Johnny Carrino's spot, in front of Tom Thumb. I've eaten at their N. Beach St location probably 7 or 8 times and always walked away satisfied and full. The menu is pretty much the A-Z of Tex Mex but the plates are freshly prepared, dressed well and comprised of good quality ingredients. They have a nice list of "House Specialties" that offset the normal "meat/cheese/toppings on a tortilla" offerings. Grilled Quail anyone? My visit had the combo fajitas (see my pic) and my wife the chicken enchiladas. To start though and the main reason we'll be back is the chips-n-salsa and the Margaritas. The salsa is very heavy on the tomato and cilantro (major award-points) and the Marg is a perfect so that it's not sour and not too sweet. It's got a good dose of Tequila in it as well. Not quite Baja Grill level (local Marg fans will know what I'm talkin about) but much much nicer than most places. They have a really nice bar area towards one end that will most likely be our haunt once football season starts. Welcome to Mansfield, Chavez family. We've been waiting read more
