We saw it, and there were…read morealways cars coming and going in the parking lot, but we never heard anyone talk about it so we never stopped in. Almost two years ago, we decided we'd give it a try and we were not disappointed. We typically order out as service is slower if you choose to eat in. I'm pretty certain it's a family owned business and the owner is the one taking care of everything; From taking orders to cooking and serving. So yes, service is slower, but food quality is not sacrificed. The day we ate at the restaurant, it got busy and seemed like some other family members were called in to help out. Though it was slower until more help came, we still loved our food. Now on to the food, we haven't had a bad meal from here! We love their rice! I always order their chile rellenos with cheese (highly recommend) and my husband loves their burritos. As other reviews say, the red salsa is HOT, so be prepared. But their green salsa is the perfect mix of flavor and heat. The guacamole is to die for! It doesn't get any fresher than El Molcajete's and contains all fresh ingredients. On top of that, it's served with fresh made tortilla chips (not packaged ones). This a hidden little gem in Flemington for quality Mexican Cuisine! Highly suggest you give it a try!!!

Last night went and it happened with all of ours (4 in our party). I ordered a soda, two unsweetened tea's, and a water. The taste was a strong cleaning solution taste. We let our waiter know and asked for new glasses and cups. He brought us glass cups instead of plastic and all tasted the exact same, cleaning solution disgusting taste. We let the waiter know again, and opted for bottle water and glass bottle of mexican coke. The manager then came over and shared that this was an ongoing issue and suggested that it was the city and that they have bleach sometimes come thru or their water is dark and that there isn't anything they can do. What should be done is not sell fountain drinks or any drink and if it is the water which is used in all drinks and in food that should be a red flag for customers to be ingesting whatever this is. At the very least provide a disclaimer that drinks and food may be contaminated with whatever they believe it is.....and let the city know.

They still over-cook chicken and beef. Paltry sides of typical guacamole, sour cream, salsa for the meal. They charge you big time for adequate side sauces you can actually use with your meal. Pay 50% more to get sides. It gets better than this elsewhere locally...just a quick search and you will see... read more

We got a couple of quesadillas and tacos and everyone enjoyed their food. We agreed that the soft tacos were our favorites more so than the hard shells.

All the ingredients seemed fresh and were well-prepared.

As a 5+ year resident in southern california i've come fairly accustomed to Mexican cuisine. I have…read moremy go-to's as well as trying something new from time to time to enrich my taste. that being said i was very interested in seeing what mexican food on the east coast could offer me. It's a small restaurant with limited parking and the dining space being fairly spacious considering its size. Walking in we approach an empty podium but are greeted with a warm welcome within seconds of entering. Our waitress politely greeted us and let us choose our seating. Within a few minutes we received menus and assistance with spice levels and items on the menu and for food i chose a few items. I started with a Chicken and cheese empanada. presentation was good and the flavor was OK but also isnt something i typically get. i didn't eat it right away and will say it's something that's best eaten the moment it hits the table. A few minutes later came the Flautas and i don't like to compare my food to other places but i couldn't help but think of my Fathers flautas when eating these. again, presentation is nice and they weren't inedible but it felt like something was missing. Minutes later came the Carnitas and barbacoa tacos with 1 of them being the carnitas and the rest barbacoa. The waitress recommended i eat the carnitas first then move onto the barbacoa. Doing just that i ate the carnitas and was immediately blown away. The Pico was well made and the flavor was something new, i couldn't compare nor think of something similar to its taste and that became my favorite thing there but moving forward the barbacoa was fairly the same as the flautas in the sense that something was missing. Presentation was good and the crunch on the tacos was just right; not too crispy, not too soft. My girlfriend has the Carne Asada plate with her rating being a 3/5 stating the carne asada was thinner than she prefers and portions being slightly uneven. Overall i'd give it a 3/5 but i give it a 4 due to excellent service. The ambiance is slightly lacking but is something that could improve overtime. For the price id say this place is a great choice for their tacos but some items are questionable. I would come back here again!

My girlfriend got three pork tacos with pineapple. They were stellar due to high-quality meat that was perfectly prepared. The pineapple added some great flavor to the dish without adding sweetness. My barbacoa burritto (no rice by choice) came heavy with exceptional meat and flavor. Absolutely incredible and well balanced. And their guacamole is phenomenal. Although we cannot wait to order from here again, we look forward to visiting the restaurant. Our thanks to the entire kitchen staff for preparing amazing food as if we were dining in their establishment.

The store is clean and well kept woth limited seating and service is fast! Here is what we ordered! We were served chips and salsa first at no charge. chips were cooked perfectly and the house-made salsa was delicious! my gf ordered the fajita (steak) dish and she noted decent sized fair portions of all the goodies that go into making a fajita with a unique guacamole, rice and beans, lettuce and cheese and their steak is a MUST try. I ordered a chicken tostada and chicken flautas. the chicken on the tostada was my favorite thing there it was insanely delicious i've never had anything like it and the flautas were cooked perfectly. a nice crisply outer shell with not too much crunch and the taste of fried tortilla so clean and pure! so savory! Now when i think of mexican food this place will come to mind. i encourage anyone who loves good tasty food to come here it's worth every penny and the prices are very fair!

While driving through Easton on my current trucking route, I did what I usually do and searched for…read morethe nearest Mexican restaurant on Uber Eats. I ordered from Mexicolindo and went with an asada burrito--something I've had plenty of times back in Texas, so I felt pretty confident in the choice. Unfortunately, the delivery was a letdown. The lettuce in the burrito felt like a total afterthought, with a small handful of wilted pieces thrown on at the last second. Maybe this is just how they prepare asada here, but the burrito was a sloppy mess. I couldn't even pick it up to eat it because it completely fell apart in my hands. The kid's cheese quesadilla didn't help much either. The tortilla was extremely thin--much thinner than what I'm used to in Texas. The fries arrived soggy and soaked in grease, and honestly, the whole meal ended up giving me a stomachache. Since this was an Uber Eats order, I expected at least basic packaging. The order came with no napkins or utensils, which made eating on the road even more frustrating. The one positive was that it did include two types of salsa, which restaurants outside of Texas don't always do. Overall, this delivery just didn't meet expectations, especially for someone used to Mexican food done right.
