I really loved the home style taste of the masa they used for the gorditas. It's not fried entirely in oil like some other restaurants do, which isn't bad, it's just a different style of making it, but I loved Molcajete's way!! The mild green salsa's were also fantastic. Wasn't sweet, and just the right amount of spice to complement a dish like this, for me. The workers were so nice, so I will be coming again read more

Food: I had the fajitas al camaron. The rice and beans were pretty good. The shrimp, peppers, and onions were good but a little under seasoned. I liked the green sauce they gave, but it was such a tiny container, I wish they gave more. Service: The cashier spoke solely Spanish so it was difficult to try and order food, but the waiter was nice. Ambience: It's a little sketchy looking, but the food was better than the outside so I guess that's good. I did have to go outside to go to the bathroom outside though, and it was smelly. Overall: It was okay, but not the best Mexican food I've had. read more

Tacos Al Molcajete - Breakfast Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

Using the "Diners, Drive-ins & Dives" definition, by all accounts, Tacos Al Molcajete could be considered a "Dive," and after 5+ years of going here, it's one of my favorite Mexican dives in Longmont. Sure, it's a bit shabby looking for a gringo like me, but it's nice & clean. Honestly, I could care less what it looks like, because the owner & staff are welcoming & friendly, and the food is always super-muy-delicioso! I love both the carnitas & barbacoa smothered burritos. Savory juicy meats are wrapped in a never dried-out tortilla, generously smothered in a mild spicy green chille, then freshly-chopped lettuce & tomatoes are tossed on top. Sides of red & green salsas add some serious kick if that's your jam. On cold days, the inner dining room is fine, but I prefer eating outside on nice days. The covered patio is basically just a concrete pad with a bunch of brown plastic picnic tables under a rickety-looking metal structure. And while Longmont's Main St. can get a bit loud from time to time, it gets you out in the fresh air, while also shaded from our intense noon-time summer sun so you can take your time to enjoy the tasty dishes. BTW: no margaritas or cervezas here, so grab a large ice cold glass bottle of sweet Mexican Coke made with real non-gmo caña de azúcar (sugar cane) with your savory burrito... a perfect pairing! read more

Tacos Al Molcajete - Smothered Carnitas Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

Some of the best tacos I've ever had, I would highly recommend this spot. The staff is always super friendly

On the way to see friends, my husband and I stopped at this local gem for some lunch and why a flavorful delight! While the place doesn't look like much from the street, the food will not disappoint. There are plenty of picnic tables outside and some seating inside as well. The staff is super friendly and welcoming! We ordered a smothered Al pastor burrito that was flavorful, filled with rice, beans and plenty of marinated pork! The green Chile is super mild so I put their hot sauce over everything and enjoyed every bite. My husband order the Chile rellanos plate and the chiles tasted fresh and delicious. The breading was a bit too soggy for me but that's a personal preference thing. My husband also ordered a taco Al pastor and a lengua taco. I had never eaten lengua so I decided to give it a try and I must say it was delicious. We will be back. I always appreciate a locally owned business with great food and a friendly staff. They make you want to come back. Thank you!! read more

The horchata was some of the best horchata I've ever had, the staff was super friendly, and the food was delicious!

A simply decorated place, but comfortable. The owner and staff were great. The menus are in Spanish, but do NOT let that stop you, I was greeted almost like an old friend and was told what the different dishes were. I went for the Huevos Rancheros... and they were delicious... Very flavorful with the rice beans and sauce. I have not had such good ones in many years!! My daughter had various tacos. They were all great, nicely seasoned and not greasy! Her SO had a burrito, and it was a very generous portion and very delicious. Whenever I am in the area, I know where I will be stopping for a meal!!! Beuno!! Muy delicioso!!! read more

This place is just perfect--definitely a go to spot for Mexican in Longmont. The service is quick and the food is very delicious. I've had the tacos and burritos here, and can't wait to try some other things. I haven't had lengua y tripa tacos before coming here and they were SO good. read more

Great spot! Really good food and consistent. Prices are fair too, which is a rare find these days.

I love a good taco place. The tacos were fresh and full of flavor. I love the pineapple on the pork tacos. It was delicious. The service was quick and friendly. There's a lot of seating for small groups and plenty of parking. It's a very chill place. There's also seating outside to enjoy nice weather. I'd definitely recommend. read more

Simple, traditional little place with delicious street size tacos. Just enough spice. Owner was helpful in confirming no wheat or dairy in my tacos. Husband had chicken enchiladas and thought the sauce was both unique and delicious! More a traditional Mexican not Tex-mex. read more

Great food and fast customer service. Always a pleasure to go there. Glad we found a great Mexican place in Longmont.

Great tacos and sopes. I'm sure the rest is great too. Lots of flavor. Lots of authenticity. Salsas are basic but pretty good. Service is good and you won't wait too long. Very friendly. It's a bare bones dining area and men's bathroom is outside, which is part of why I dropped a few points. I would definitely stop in again and again. It's not 5 but more than 4 so I'd say a 4.4 read more

The owner is awesome, breakfast burritos are ok. Reasonably priced but still would like to see someplace do a more full burrito for $6 instead of smaller ones for $3-4. Just my opinion. 5 stars for service. 3 for the burrito. read more

Tacos Al Molcajete - Breakfast Burrito with chorizo - Mexican Near Me - Longmont, Colorado

I've been here numerous times already and I have to say that this taco joint is top notch. The entire menu is in Spanish, so you can definitely tell that this is not any Americanized abomination, but actual Mexican food. The street tacos are very authentic and practically all of the dishes here are good. I haven't had anything I dislike. In particular, I highly recommend the street tacos with the barbacoa. Slather on some pico de gallo and salsa, spritz some lime, and this is going to be one of the most delicious (and reasonably cheap) meals you've ever had. Fair word of warning - for people who can't handle spicy food, I recommend you stay away from the orange and red salsas. They will destroy you. To finish off your meal, you can always order their churros. To be honest, they're not the best churros I've ever had, but I've never had "authentic" churros before so I don't have a point of reference to give you. This restaurant is a favorite place for my coworkers and I. We frequent at least 1x every few weeks. read more

Very accurate reviews the Al pastor taco is fantastic. Not sure about the complaints on price. I ordered 10 al pastor, 2 carne asada, and 2 pollo tacos to go and it was ~$46. The al pastor add $1 per taco I think. The food is authentic street tacos that I'm used to in California so this was a great find. I will definitely return. read more

If you can ignore the lack of decor and very plain dining area, you'll be rewarded with friendly service and good food. Tacos are $2 each and my favorite was the chorizo one. If needed you can help yourself to the salsa bar. They offer classic and simple Mexican food, nothing trendy but looking at my neighbors plates everything looked good. I'll definitely go back when I am in the area. read more

My husband and I have an addiction to their breakfast burritos. They're nice if you want to combo meat or make any small edits. Great street tacos too! I know all the rest of their food is amazing but we can't stop getting their breakfast burritos weekly the last 6+ months.. multiple days a week sometimes. Service is great! Love the staff/owner, even if they might judge us for getting breakfast burritos at 11pm. Lol always friendly great hot food. read more

I was wavering between 2 and 3 stars, but the employee who helped me was nice, so I'm going with the high end. This seems like a really authentic place, but the food was not so good. I had a torta with carnitas. The pork was red, which I had not seen in carnitas before, and the flavor was not right. Salsas were good though. This place has kind of a fast food vibe, but the prices are in the 10-$15 range. I would probably try something else on the menu, but this will not be my stop for tortas. read more

We order from Tacos Al Molcajete frequently. We really like the gorditas for breakfast. Street tacos are really good and breakfast are my favorite. They are very flexible with customize our ingredients. The delivery is really quick. Keep up the good work guys - Nice job. read more

I got asada/pastor/chorizo tacos. I liked all of them. Service was courteous and fast. The ambiance of the restaurant was casual and inviting. read more

Nooooo no no no no. I hear this place used to be good.... New owners maybe? Not sure. I was overcharged for guac and found what I believe was a piece of a fish tail in the bottom of my chips. I almost vomited. Also they asked if I wanted Pico with my guac and apparently that means IN the guac because that's when they said when I inquired. Bad. Never going back. read more

Unfortunately no one speaks English so it is difficult to order accurately. Mexican food is good

Came here for their tacos ($1.79). Got al pastor (a little dry), asada (super tasty), pollo (shredded chicken with good flavor and not dry), and carnitas (my least favorite which was a disappointment because it's normally my favorite; flavor was meh and texture wasn't as soft or shredded as I'm used to). The tacos are slightly larger than usual and they give a reasonable amount of meat. There's a sauce bar you can use to top your tacos but unfortunately they don't give complimentary chips (maybe that's just a California thing). Either way, the tacos were pretty good but I wouldn't say they were out of this world mind blowing. Also, like some people have said, avoid the red sauce unless you like crazy spicy cause it's really hot. read more

This is our favorite restaurant in Longmont. And incredible news -- they are open for take out :) Highly recommend the tacos, flautas, and alambre! read more

Very good, authentic street tacos. We tried asada, buche, barbacoa, chorizo and chicharrones. Our favorite was barbacoa, it was tensor and had great flavor. Buche came in number 2, in the past I've had this crispy or greasy (buche = pork stomach) but this one was very meaty and flavor almost reminded me of a rich deli meat. Asada was next, standard flavor and not too dry. The only taco I'd actually avoid was chicharrones. I was expecting it to be fried and crispy (at most places it is), but instead the skin was boiled with consistency of phlegm. Good flavor, just not what I was expecting... read more

Best tacos in town. That's saying something, since there are loads of great taquerias in Longmont. I still have to try all the meat options, but so far my favorites are Al pastor and carnitas. They're always very friendly and grateful to their customers. Highly recommended! read more

Tried several of the tacos and they were excellent. The barbacoa were my favorite. Service was friendly and our order came out very quickly. Definitely will be back to try more of the menu. read more

We have been here once before and thought that this place was okay. But recently, I have ordered several takeouts and used the opportunity to explore more of the menu. Not having a menu in front of me for a takeout can be challenging but the lady answering the call described the dishes and helped me with the order. I realize now how much more exciting the menu is. The food is fresh and intricately adventurous. The hot sauce is not for those with fainted heart but one of the best that I have tasted. The ambiance is average and adequate at best. Outdoor seating during warmer days would be much more enjoyable. A hidden gem. read more

Most authentic tacos and in general, Mexican food in the greater Boulder area. This is the perfect lunch spot for those who work in Longmont and tacos are only $1.79 compared to the overpriced $3 street tacos in Boulder. And let me tell you, the flavor of the meat is unparalleled. The carne asada is so fresh and tasty and the carnitas are so juicy. I'm never disappointed by whatever I get here. The owner is super friendly and a great local spot. They have a lovely array of different types of salsas from mild to extremely hot. I thought I might get tired of tacos after going will my co-workers 3 Fridays in a row but I always seem to find myself craving more by the next Thursday. Hopefully I can get my fix soon!! read more

I had the Huaraches with carne asada, but without lettuce or sour cream. It was amazing! The base of it seemed a fusion between what's used for a sope, and Navajo Fry bread. The food was filling; 1 was more than enough. This is a fast casual restaurant. You order at the counter and then they bring it to you. The menu on the wall is all in Spanish; however there are also pictures to make it easy if you can't read it. The front staff also speaks English if you need any help. All in all, a great place to get some food. read more

Loved the tacos here. Being originally for Southern California... This brings me a little bit of home comfort food without the 1100 mile trip home. You may need to know a little Spanish if you have questions about the menu, as the cashier didn't know English week yet. Luckily I was able to use my broken Spanglish and get some answers to my question. Ordered: Al Pastor Taco Asada Taco Lengua Taco Cabeza Taco Beef soup Everything was great. Would highly recommend. read more

What a gem! Great prices with even better food! I got the steak burrito and the texture and flavor of the beef was outstanding! My partner got a bean and rice smothered burrito Which had a great flavor also. Their homemade tortilla chips were incredible! The atmosphere and decor is very minimalist but it certainly gets the job done I highly recommend this place And will definitely be going back soon read more
