    Molcajete's Menu
    Rocky B.

    Anytime I see a new small business come into town, I always make it a habit to visit and see what they have to offer...especially if it's Mexican food lol So I've picked up from Molcajete's atleast 3 times already and I was somewhat disappointed by what I found. Now don't get me wrong, this is definitely NOT a bad place to eat. The people who run it are very friendly and the service is exceptional. But I just couldn't find any type of "Wow" factor when it came down to the food or it's menu. The tacos are kinda mediocre (and small). The meat, a little dry (especially the al pastor) and everything seemed to be seasoned all the same because all their meats tasted similar. The steak, the pastor and the barbacoa all tasted fairly identical and they shouldn't. Now their tamales on the other hand, we're very excellent. A lot of places around here make their homemade tamales too thick...their nothing but all masa. But Molcajete's tamales on the other hand were a bit more slender and packed proportionately, 50/50 half masa, half carne. Definitely get the Rojo (the pork tamale). Molcajete is a very small establishment. If you so much as blink when driving by it, you could miss it. They don't have a lot of space inside their business but they utilize what little space they have to seat a few patrons and they keep the place really clean. Overall, it's not the best Mexican spot in town but if you're looking for an alternative from what you've been having, it's not a bad place to visit.

    Any of their food that I have had is wonderful. But, they spiked their prices about 30%. I can't swallow that. Sorry, folks.

    Best tacos in all of Chicagoland. My friends and I go every month for their delicious tacos.

This trip I ordered red snapper with garlic huachinango con ajo). It was super fresh hot and crispy without being dried out. It comes with salad, white rice with vegetables and garlic bread. Everything was Excellent. Upon arrival you are given a table starter of fish ceviche (ceviche de pescado) it is delicious paired with the pepper sauce and caliente sauce and always fresh. I had a strawberry margarita and Modelo as a beverage. Margarita is fresh and not premade strawberry mix and liquor content is standard. I have also had empanadas, caldo de Res soup, seafood soup, steak tacos, and pollo enchiladas verde during my visits. I have never had a bad meal and I have always had left overs.

You have a choice of queso or guac as a starter, both are small. Chips and salsa are also gratis. After that you have a choice of two items from a list of about 8 or 9 items. I had the chicken quesadilla and tostada. Upgrade to add bean and rice for a buck. My colleagues fish taco wasn't worth the extra $2 according to her. I thought everything was fresh and delicious. More lunch than both of us needed, I'd pass on the rice/beans in the future. Service was good. Attentive but everything was her favorite on the menu, not very helpful. Seating in indoors or out. They have TVs for the World Cup and a full bar. Highly recommend for lunch and we will be back.

    The short rib enchiladas were really good, and the queso was great too. It had almost a…read morefondue-style feel, which I liked. Service could definitely use some work. My server was pretty slow and seemed distracted, sometimes gone for 20 minutes at a time. I basically had to lock eyes with him just to get his attention. He was a younger guy, so hopefully he tightens that up. Also, if someone notes in their reservation that they're bringing a baby and a car seat, it would make more sense to seat them at a booth instead of in the middle of the restaurant, especially when booths are open. Overall, I'd say it was about a 7/10 experience.
