I think we found our new go to Mexican spot! What is crazy is how long I've had this place bookmarked but never stopped in. My husband and I both had the wet burrito I opted for the carnitas with no beans and he got the Al pastor. Both were good but the carnitas was wonderful, super tender and moist. The sizes were massive especially for the price. Do not skip on the salsa either! It was delicious and perfectly balanced-wished I would have taken some to go. read more

Molcajete Grill - Must order chip and salsa. - Mexican Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

The female manager who served us was very polite and helpful... My husband and I ordered Macheka, or take the chili, and a chicken enchilada, chips and salsa, everything was prepared perfectly and delicious. The salsa was fresh, but very large pieces of onion and jalapeño in our fresh salsa.. The restaurant was nicely decorated and very, very clean... The manager checked on us twice during our stay to see if everything was good very nice the entire experience read more

This place has really good taco plates and I appreciate that they let me replace my beans with more rice!!! Speaking of their rice this is one of the best Mexican rice I've had because sometimes it's usually dry but this place is fluffy and moist! Their chips and salsa is also delicious, although it's a simple concept their salsa just tastes so fresh and has a perfect kick. Their service is very nice I love the mom and the daughter! read more

Excellent local Mexican restaurant. Carnitas are my favorite. Great for take out. We order take out when we just parties and our guests love it. read more

Delicious Mexican food!! The chips and salsa are amazing. They're my favorite chips. The burritos are solid and very filling. Normally I do takeout but today we ate in the eating area and it was super quiet and there was plenty of tables and seats. The employees are also very kind and friendly. Definitely come here for authentic Mexican food! read more

We ordered some takeout for us and our neighbors. I got the #16 Deluxe Molcajete Wet Burrito with Carnitas and done fajita style. I loved it! Wife got the #22 Tamales with chicken. She loved that. Neighbor guy got the #21 Chili Relleno and Beef Tamale combo. He loved that. Note there's a typo on their menu and the #20 actually is Chili Relleno and Enchilada. Neighbor lady got the Molcajete Tostada Salad and said it was fine. Apparently the tortilla was a bit stale. We also got a large cups and salsa and a large guacamole. Both of which were excellent! But again the ladies noticed the odd chip that was stale. read more

The best authentic Mexican food in the neighborhood! So good!!! We live in the nearby houses and we go often. My favorite is the chicken fajita burrito and my daughter loves the bean and cheese burritos! read more

Ordered hard shell tacos, the tortilla was stale on both tacos. Other than that it was ok.

Great Mexican food! Quick, friendly service. Took it home and ate it up! Everyone was happy.

The food is always amazing!! I eat everything and have never had a bad meal yet. I've been going there for ever since they opened and Silvia takes amazing care of me! I called it in Togo and it was ready when I got there. I suggest it for everyone. read more

Good service. Family run. Quality food. Flavors are good Easy parking Nothing by fancy but good read more

Ordered through uber eats and it was so soggy! I would say it's probably better at the restaurant. I ordered street tacos it was wrapped up in foil, which caused the tortilla to just completely break apart. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't order again through uber eats. I can tell the salsa they gave us was fresh, so that's why am doing a 3 star vs 2 read more

Only reason why I'm giving 2 stars cause the service was good. Took our orders correctly and food came out quick. Small restaurant plenty of seating not a lot people there when I showed up. I'm coming from LA where I must say our street vendors have better tasting food then this place. I was starving and we saw it was called Molcajete so I assumed they would be serving Molcajete in a Molcajete Bowl with several meats with that good sauce. They do not serve any type of dish in a volcanic rock bowl. So I decided to go with the sopes. Yea sopes tasted as they were frozen and thawed. Shredded chicken had no flavoring. Overall just not good Mexican food. Way better places I'll rather eat at. Thanks for the food though cause I really was starving. Won't be back. Also usually at the Mexican restaurants I've ate at chips and salsa are free. They aren't here. read more

A hidden treasure for Mexican takeout! A friend recommended and I thought I'd give it a try. Most delicious veg. burritos you're going to find! A perfect veg burrito with quality fresh ingredients, and ...they are huge!. Super clean and customer service is the best! Try it, and you'll be back for sure! read more

Fantastic spot for excellent, fresh, very well-priced Mexican food. We ordered tacos, taquitos and quesadillas. The order took longer than we expected, but worth the wait! It was a clean shop and lots of great options for food. Fish tacos were incredible- the shrimp was 'okay'...steak quesadillas was excellent- very well flavored. We didn't enjoy the salsa much, I'd skip that next time! Server came over to check on us and chatted. We will def be back again! read more

Molcajete Grill - Baja fish taco - Mexican Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

This is become my favorite Mexican restaurant in Huntington Beach. The food is always fresh and delicious . When you walk through the door you're greeted with a smile and a hello from the owner Sylvia she's always friendly and very helpful. She always checks on you after you received your food to make sure everything is Ok. I highly recommend this place. read more

We have been eating here since they opened 25+ years ago. Same family still owns and operates this restaurant. Deusdery, who took our order and delivered same checked on us not once, but twice -very welcoming and knowledgable about the family recipes. The food continues to improve which is rare these days. If you are looking for a $7.00 ala carte taco or a taquito the size of a golf pencil, Molcajete is not for you. If you want a great plate of tradition made from scratch Mexican food at great prices, look no further. Casual family friendly vibe with A+ food! read more

Short review: eat here, you won't be disappointed. Long review: To start, the chips and salsa was great, they're not stingy with the chips and the salsa was flavorful with plenty of onions and cilantro, and not overly blended. I ordered a taco and enchilada combo and everything was perfect: the shredded beef had a really nice flavor, the rice was tasty and properly cooked, and the beans were good, with melted cheese on top. On top of the great food, the staff was friendly and fast... no laziness going on here! Definitely going to be a "regular" here! read more

Went to Miguel's Jr for lunch today and Francisco was of a great help getting our order correct and making sure everything was made right. He was very nice....Although, we have eaten there a lot and all the employees have been really great to us. Thanks for having great food and great employees and clean bathrooms for people who dine there....definitely recommend eating here.... read more

This was a hole-in-the-wall kinda place in the strip mall area but the service and food were excellentIt'll be our go to place for a reasonable Mexican dining read more

If you go to eat here be sure it's is more than at least an hour before closing as they will throw every excuse in the book at you to not serve you which sucks cause it's really good food read more

Visiting and saw the ratings on this place so tried it out. We had the chicken enchiladas, flautas, shrimp tacos, and chile relleno. Everything was delicious and tasted home made, not the stuff you typically get in a restaurant. Great food at a great price. read more

Excellent authentic Mexican food!!! The salsa on the spicy side so we order guacamole too! My husband says best Baja fish tacos!

They usually put sour cream and guacamole but this time they don't I asked and was lied to from short kid working never coming back

Blugh. I was hoping this would be good but it really wasn't. Not even the horchata. I really can't find a single spot in the OC that comes anywhere close to how delicious the Mexican food is in LA. read more

Wet burrrrito? Yes please. My family was surprised, I rarely buy or choose to eat a burrito. I'm a three taco kind of gal. But there were no tacos with the molcajete name of approval on them (don't worry tacos are still good and my brother recommends the fish taco) so I stretched myself and feel that I had the best meal on the table. I chose the carnitas meat and it was so tender, flavorful, and juicy, I ate way more than intended. The other part of the Molcajete experience is Silvia. She is such a lovely and welcoming person that my grandma felt compelled to introduce us all to her after one or two prior visits. Anyways, I definitely recommend the molcajete burrito. read more

This is our go to local Mexican restaurant. The food is amazing and the salsa is made fresh. We went for dinner on Sunday and even though we got there at 7:30 and they close at 8:00 we had great service. We were there until about 8:10 and they were very nice and didn't try to rush us out the door. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting some great food at a local gem. read more

My family has been ordering from here since I was in kindergarten (just now finishing university), and it's never lost its amazing touch and quality. You can't beat the prices and you can't beat the flavor. Not only do you get good food, but you also get amazing customer service. Even with pick up orders, they make that short amount of time in the restaurant enjoyable. If I could give 6 stars, then I would. read more

Came here for dinner on a weeknight, it's a small restaurant located in a strip mall with lots of parking. Ordered a carnitas taco (4/5) and a carne asada taco (3/5) combo. Portions are big, but the carne asada was a little chewy. Everything was packaged well for my to go order. The person who took our order was super friendly, but it took a while to receive our food. It seemed like a lot of people order take out ahead of time. read more

Great food at a great price. Friendly and prompt service. Highly recommend the pork Chile Verde. The meat was fork tender and perfectly seasoned. Also the refried beans were some of the best I've ever had at a restaurant. read more

Food is so delish and authentic tasting! My first choice when choosing a great Mexican resturant. read more

Molcajete is one of our family's favorite places to eat. We mostly order to go because we live close, but we have eaten at the restaurant many times. Everything here is wonderful. The burritos are tasty and filling! I love the veggie burrito. My husband gets the tostada salad and it is excellent. We've tried almost all the combos at one time or another, and everything is always made fresh and is delicious. read more
