    3 Tacos X3 Pastor, Delish!
    Greg M.

    Went to the new location yesterday. Legit pastor street tacos. My wife had 2 ground beef tacos and really enjoyed them. Worth checking out!

    Ordered from here twice in less than a week, that should tell you everything! The food was fresh,…read moreflavorful, and absolutely delicious both times. Every order was ready on time, and the quality was consistent. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

    We came to Los Molcajetes for dinner this evening as a party of 6. Half of us drove about 45…read moreminutes to meet family who live nearby and had recommended the restaurant. Unfortunately, our experience was pretty disappointing. My sister-in-law and I both ordered the Pollo Poblano. She has ordered it here before and said it was really good. When my plate arrived, I immediately noticed that the chicken wasn't hot, it was lukewarm at best. I hadn't eaten all day, was really hungry, and the food tasted okay otherwise, so I decided not to complain and ate about 3/4 of the chicken. When our waitress brought our to go boxes, we started talking about everyone's meals. That's when my sister-in-law mentioned that her chicken wasn't hot either and described hers the exact same way: lukewarm. She said it had never been served like that the other times she'd ordered it. At that point we considered saying something, but since we'd already eaten part of our meals, we decided not to. Unfortunately, about 3.5- 4 hours after dinner, I started feeling very sick to my stomach and have now been sick for several hours. I can't say for certain that the meal caused it, but considering the temperature of the chicken, the timing definitely concerns me. It's too late tonight to check on my sister-in-law, but I'll be checking with her first thing in the morning since she ate the same entrée. The rest of the table wasn't overly impressed with their meals either, but the margarita was good. My husband thought the brisket tacos were bland and felt they needed some type of sauce to complement them, and my mom gave the beef enchiladas 2 stars. I do want to say that our waitress was great, and we had no issues with her service. My biggest regret is not trusting my gut and sending the lukewarm chicken back when it was first served. Hindsight is definitely 20/20 because now I'm up late fighting my gut instead.

    I can only speak to our experience sitting at the bar since we were not seated in the dining room…read more We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and were able to grab two seats at the bar without any problem. The service was very good, although it was clear the bartender was extremely busy handling both the bar area and the outdoor seating. They could definitely benefit from a second bartender, as drink service was a little slow at times. That being said, the drinks were absolutely worth the wait. I had the Blueberry Habanero Margarita, which was tart, refreshing, and delicious. My husband started with a frozen margarita that he really enjoyed and later switched to a draft Modelo. For food, he ordered the pozole and I had the jumbo shrimp fajitas. Everything was exceptional. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, the dishes were well prepared, and the portions were generous enough that we left completely satisfied. What really excites us about this place is that it feels much more traditional Mexican than Tex Mex, which is much harder to find in this area. The food, drinks, and atmosphere all made a great impression on us, and we are so glad we discovered this spot. We will definitely be back!

This time I had the lettuce wrap that has chili garlic chicken bites, black beans & rice ($15). It was good and lighter so I wasn't too full to get back out in the heat for the evening. Good flavor. The lettuce leaves provided were too big/mush for the amount of meat given - only needed two leaves since they were quite large. Queso was good. Others enjoyed taco salad, brisket tacos, kids quesadillas, taquitos. Margarita was decent. For $15, I thought it would come in a nice glass or a plastic cup that hadn't already been used. (Mine had most the writing on plastic cup gone. Like they wash and re-use them).

If you want solid Mexican food but want to avoid the massive chains or pricey fine-dining spots, Mil Amores is a fantastic local business to support. Here is the breakdown of what to expect: The Best Items: My absolute favorite is the fish tacos--easily one of the best things on the menu. The barbacoa tacos are also great, and I highly recommend their caldo (delicious with the tortillas) and fresh agua frescas. The Average Items: The rest of the taco lineup is just okay, not the absolute best I've ever had, but definitely not the worst. The Changes: They used to serve complimentary chips and salsa, but it seems like they stopped doing that. Also, the salsa that comes with the tacos or burritos is now pretty watered down and lacks flavor. Finally, they used to make their tortillas fresh by hand, but lately, they seem like basic corn tortillas. Service: Very straightforward. You order at the counter, they bring the food to your table, and you pay at the register when you're done. Because it's a great local spot, it gets packed at midday with local workers. I highly recommend trying to time your visit right before or just after the main lunch rush to beat the crowds. Overall, it's a solid, casual local spot that I'll keep coming back to!

    In town for work. The hotel is near by and I wanted Tex-Mex…read more Waiter Sebastian was very patient and accommodating with my blood sugar needs. I had a light beer and the fajitas parrillada (half order), which comes with shrimp, chicken, and beef, plus guac, sour cream, pico de gallo, rice, and beans. I skipped the rice but had the rest, and everything was good. When the fajitas arrived, I was like, "OMG, that's WAY too much food, even for a half order!" But then I realized about 70% of it was a bed of veggies (onions, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms... a little confusing for fajitas hahaha) and the rest was the protein. The beef and chicken were not dry and had good flavor. I only got TWO shrimp though... wth?! But they were well seasoned and good. I couldn't have the totopos (chips) because I'm watching my blood sugar, but they let me have my own protein chips. I also tried the house salsa. It was blended (not chunky) and kind of spicy for my non-spicy-tolerant taste buds , but I liked it! Music was a mix or reggaeton and Latino Urbano from the 90's-2000s and made me smile hehe. In summary, it was good food and good service. Sebastian was great!

    Great Tex-Mex restaurant, but not if you're vegetarian…read more Our server, Cristian, was great! He let me know about the menu and came back to check on us throughout the meal. The queso, all of the enchilada sauces except ranchero, black beans, and rice contained meat, which was disappointing. For those of you who are vegetarian, this place is not a great option. The chips are good, and the salsa is on the runnier side but still packed with flavor. Prices are reasonable. I hope one day they create a vegetarian menu and become more accommodating.
