Muy mala experiencia. Desde el inicio cuando tuvimos que pedir agua después de que llegaron las bebidas con alcohol. La cerveza me la trajeron casi a la mitad y lo demás espuma y cuando le dije a la mesera si podía llenarla me dijo que se les había acabado. Y aún así terminé pagando por una cerveza grande. Los jarritos con alcohol pedí una pequeña y una mediana. La pequeña estaba con buen nivel de alcohol pero la mediana parecía jugo, ya que parecía que le pusieron 1 onza de licor. Pero al momento de dar el checke te meten el 20% cómo si lo merecieran. read more

I came here for lunch as I was traveling back to Richmond. I got the Birria tacos and they were solid tacos. The beef stew was savory and was great to dip with that taco. Those three tacos were $14 which seems to be on average. When I order a water, they only had bottled water, so I was charged $2. Overall a decent Mexican restaurant to try out.

The WORST service I have ever experienced. My family had ordered their food for pick up off DoorDash and after waiting 30 minutes for the food we come to find out they had handed it to a random driver with out making sure that it was the correct order. So we had to wait a whole other 30 minutes and when the food was ready they DID NOT want to give us our food and decided this was when they would do the proper DoorDash procedures and not release the food without confirmation. The person who had ordered the food didn't come with us and they were being extremely difficult when I tried showing them a screen shot I had of the order. And they continued to play victim when we wasted our time and we didn't get ANY compensation except for some lousy 2 can drinks you can get from the dollar store. Will never ever order here again and I would recommend you never go there. read more

Aguachile... very disappointed barely any shrimp, barely cucumbers... more green sauce than anything.. it's not spicy... couldn't taste lemon. read more

Most AUTHENTIC Mexican food that we've had this side of the Mississippi. It's great to have a taste of home.

Authentic Mexican food, tasty and fresh. Saturday night, TOO LOUD!! The live music is unbearable loud. Ruined my dinner. If you don't care for LOUD Mexican music, this is NOT the place to be. The service is average, have to request several times to get more chips and salsa. Maybe return for lunch without the loud music. read more

I ordered tacos Al pastor because they had the trompo . It was delicious. The server was very attentive and she gave us a really good service. The ambience was perfect we went on a Saturday. They had live music I really enjoyed it. read more

We had to stop off for McDonald's and we ran into this restaurant!!!! Man please stop here. We got fresh guacamole made in front of us!!!! Definitely come here off 95 in my old stomping ground's Woodbridge read more

This place is probably only good for the "night life" scene they offer, wasn't exactly my cup of tea because I didn't understand a word they spoke to me but it seems like a lot of Latinos come here to drink. The food was bland as hell, I ordered the tacos and it lacked so much flavor. The servers were not that great either but I tried to give that a pass because we came in for a going away party or 25+ people. The servers barely spoke any English so it did make it so much harder to understand even after I kept speaking English to her she would STILL continue to speak Spanish to me, she was rude. And got mad when an order came out wrong bc she misunderstood what was being ordered the first time around. I would not recommend this place, after dining here I understood why they only had 2.5 star rating. read more

The best best best food in nova love it sooo authentic and delicious you can't compare to any other Mexican restaurants they are top. Every penny is worth it read more

I recommend the tacos de tripa, asada, and cabeza. I've come here multiple times and various times of the day (busy and slow) and I have never had a problem with the service. The service was prompt and polite. The cocktail list is worth exploring. Overall, a great place for tacos. I also had the pleasure of hanging for karaoke and I had fun. The night I went, there were plenty of people, the food was prompt and polite. I had a soda water "preparada" and it was splashed with lime and served with a tajin rim. I honestly don't know what other folks are complaining about? I think is is a great place for tacos and molcajetes. read more

Today was my first and last visit to this establishment. This restaurant is very clean but the service was very slow and it was empty. no one informed me that it was dollar tacos I would not have spent $70 at a taco spot on lunch. My shrimp burrito was full of shells and u didn't want side just guacamole and the server told no problem. The food was not worth it they charge me extra for guacamole without telling me the drinks tasted like juice not margaritas and they automatically added 18% gratuity. No thanks! read more

Quick, fresh , homemade food. I like to stop by for dinner. And enjoy the music sometimes the have a karaoke. Fun place to stop by

My favorite place to drink MICHELADAS! . Their sooo delicious! . Tacos and tortas are theee BOMB!!! I really recommend this place to come with friends and family. read more

Really bad service. You can tell the servers just work for a tip but not to meet their requirements towards a tips; simple hospitality. The food and michelada specials are the only reason I'll be back. read more

Food was excellent. It took a little while for the food to come out, but it was worth it. Very authentic Mexican food!

Amazing food and amazing service. Their michelada are a must 100% along with the molcajete Jalisco. Their tacos are also delicious

WORSE MANAGER ATTITUDE of this old, skinny, ugly Spanish lady didnt get her name that's why I am describing her...SHE WAS SO MAD AND SCREAMING AT ME BECAUSE I GAVE HER MY INPUT ABOUT THE TWO SOUPS I GOT. I told her I wasn't even asking for money back just wanted her to know what I had to say about those soups. Worse sopa de Res "Beef Soup" and Traditional Mexican/SalvadorIan Mondongo (tripe) soup. No flavor and very little meat and veggies. This people don't know how to make soup not even how to cut the veggies. The cabbage was cut and they put a lot like pupusa style. The soup mainly had Shredded cabbage And water. The Mondongo soup was like they just put paprika or orange color and Salt, discussing. BUT WORSE OF ALL THAT LADYS CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

Great authentic Mexican food! The staff was very friendly! I'll definitely recommend this restaurant to others!

We ordered tortas cubanas, tostada de ceviche and camarones ala diabla. We're giving only 4 stars because the tostadas de cebiche came with carrots and did not taste good but the rest was super delicious! read more

What a rip off!!! The service sucked and the food didn't taste good. The tacos de carne was the worst I've ever had. I drove 35 minutes to check this "authentic" place. They will never be seeing us again. They charge you their tip but still expect for us tip them again??!! Está muy caro por nada.... Vine desde Chantilly aver como está la comida. Por las fotos se miran auténticas y ricas. Pero cuando vine con mi esposo, no podía creer que los tacos valen casi $3 cada uno y ni rico están. Y pedimos un agua chile con camarón que vale $18 y solo pura agua tomemos. Casi no había camarones. Terrible place!!! Never going back..... read more

El Molcajete Moya - $70 for 8 tacos that sucked, 1 agua chile that was mainly water and barely any shrimp ($18) and they have the nerve to charge their tip. - Mexican Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

The tacos taste great and I loved the fresh guacamole that is made right at your table. My waitress provided excellent service and was very attentive. The margaritas are humongous. read more

Was hunting Taco Mexico and found this as its replacement with Taco Mexico joining the other restaurant ghosts in the sky. I think I would have given this place a higher rating only I ordered the chili con queso and the waitress said they were out. Then I ordered a pork tamale and the waitress said they were out. And for my dessert I ordered the tres leches and the waitress said they were out. The waitress said the menu at this restaurant is the same as ricostacosmoyarestaurant3.com Ricos Tacos Moya in Alexandria. If the cat got your tongue you can get some more here with a tongue sandwich. And forget that old saying that it's hard to get a head as they serve cow head here!! I thought Cow Head, but when I looked it up on Internet, sure enough, there was a big write-up on cooking cow head. Some of the guests were eating out of a big black pot and I asked the waitress what that was and it was on a special menu. It had all sort of stuff in it including cactus. The waitress said that a single person could order the black pot as well as them having a big black pot for two people. I'm not sure I'm up to eating cactus as I would worry that it might really stick to my ribs, hopefully the cactus has been de-spinned or de-needled. It helps if you can speak Spanish though I managed to limp along. I ordered the Enchiladas Mexicana which is Mexican enchiladas with lettuce, onions, sour cream, cheese, rice, beans topped with green sauce. That's my going green contribution, the green sauce The place was pretty sparsely inhabited when I was there with a total of 8 customers including myself. But they have a lot of TVs, like a sports bar with the sound at a high level on one of them, unfortunately all in Spanish so I couldn't understand anything. They were showing a soccer match. I'll have to return to try the chili con queso, the pork tamale and the tres leches. read more

The food took FOREVER TO COME OUT. We got there at 3:40 we ordered and we waited so long! It wasn't even busy... We told the waitress that we have been waiting for 1 hr they brought us the food out 20 min after we told us at 5:05. NEVER GOING BACK!!! read more

FAIL! We wanted to try some authentic Mexican food. So we choose this place. Worst mistake. The food was overprice, the food was not good. We order and it took them a very long time to get the food out. And it was not even hot...also they wouldn't accept the coupon because it was too late. They didn't want to reverse the bill to add it. In the end: food was overprice,not hot, warm at best, service was crap! read more

This place is pretty good with some staples that stand out. Definitely a fun environment to Karaoke and throw down some tequila shots on a Saturday. read more

Worst service ever! They wernt busy and they took forever to serve , when my dad complained I dnt know if it was the manager or the owner but he told my dad "I already apologized , do you want me to kneel too?!" That was so rude . Never again will spend my MONEY on people like this Peor servicio. Fui con mi familia y no estabamos ocupados y se tardarn mucho para servir y cuando mi padre se quejo el dueno o mananager le dijo "ya me desculpe, que quieres que me arrodille o que !" Nunca gastare mi dinero en gente asi tan mal educada read more

I've been to this spot 2 days in a row now. First I got the tacos, and they were authentic MEXICAN tacos, which for some reason are fairly hard to find even in big cities on the east coast. Al pastor tacos (BBQ pork with grilled pineapple) were a sight for sore eyes for this Arizona guy. However, the tacos were just OK. Then I ordered a chicken taco salad, in pursuit of a quick, semi-healthy lunch that wasn't from Chipotle or some other such chain. One thing I do have to say about this place is that they season their meat very well. BUT...the salad was really nothing special. Pretty dry, with no salsas included in the to-go bag. For a $10.00 salad, all you get is a really pathetic amount of lettuce. The tomato, cucumber and avocado are all great and fine in quantity, but frankly it's more like a $6.99 salad from Wendy's, just with less veggies and better chicken. I'm really looking forward to trying one of the Molcajetes, as I'd definitely try more of the menu before making a final judgement. They don't seem to be very busy during lunch, so if they upped their game a bit with local businesses and more practical, lunch-priced, to-go options that would be the element that kicks this place from 3 to 4 stars. Also, please post the menu on yelp. that would be great. read more

Born and raised in Mexico, my wife and I are very peculiar about where to eat "Mexican" food in this area. The restaurant is very simple: more like a "fonda", but the flavor is quite good and the sauces are delicious. The "real" stuff. We have been back several times. When my wife took her non-Hispanic coworkers there, they were very impressed and ordered another round of everything. They're even going to order from Molcajete Moya for the Christmas party at the company. read more

Sad to say this was a very disappointed service. It took about 1hr to get the food. The staff not friendly at all. Management didn't apologize. Other tables were served before us (make note there was only two of us) . Bathrooms were not the cleanest. Definitely let time this place has my business. Good was nothing special; average Mexican attempt cuisine. read more

My mother just went recently and purchased two Tortas(Mexican sandwich) and the total was $18. Upon further inspection of her bank account the restaurant charged $43. She does say that she left the tip section Blank since it was Carry out and they weren't quick. So she did not tip, but for them to tip themselves that much???? That's ridiculous!!! Me and my family go a lot here but will be going somewhere else. We did get her money back it was a hassle and just time consuming. The food is good but if you go beware and make sure to cross all your zeros and keep your numbers close together while tipping and check your bank account after a visit here. read more
