Found this little treasure quite by accident when staying a night locally and so glad we did. The food was delicious, generous portions and fresh. The service was excellent. The waiters checked in several times and went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied. Highly recommend! Only downside is that we live in another state but will be back when we can! read more

nice little place stopped by after fun farm. staff are super attentive and friendly, sat us and took drink orders quick. Really good sized margs and for good a price. the salsa is good tastes homemade. my friend got the beef chimichanga and we all tried the meat it was fantastic! the molcajete bowl was huge and really tasty, only bad part i had to cut up everything, chicken, steak, cactus, cheese and onion but was worth it read more

Meh... it was ok. The service was the total 3. Very friendly and helpful. The food was just not to my preference. I had ordered a chicken taco and it came beef which is ok but it was salty and meh.... The enchiladas were not good at all. The cheese had not melted all the way and tasted to American cheese like. I'll be honest I'm also very picky with Mexican and this just doesn't make the mark. The people who own this are super nice and you can tell they take pride in their restaurant. Hopefully they are not offended by my 3. Just not my thing. read more

Their salsa definitely stole the show. Tasted very fresh and flavorful. The service here is great, all the servers were extremely friendly and attentive. They are also extremely fast with putting in orders and getting food out to you. I ordered the sopes without meat, and they were pretty good! I think they would have been better with meat but I don't often opt in for meat so it is what it is hahaha! I think the meat would have added a lot more flavor, because with just beans it didn't have much unfortunately. I want to rate higher but I am unsure I'd have their veggie sopes again, but I want to emphasize the staff here is fantastic and their meat sounded great! read more

Kind of dirty. Service was slow. We do not plant to eat there again. Somewhat authentic.

The food was delicious and as described. They have great chips and salsa. The service could've been just a hint better, but I think part of it may have been a language barrier. read more

Got mine to go. Flautas. The to go presentation was spot on with rice and beans in a side container so the flautas don't get soggy. Free chips and salsa too! Will definitely be going back. read more

Good spot to relax and get some good Ole Mexican food favorites. If you enjoy the chips and dip Spanish restaurants you'll find you little chip spot here. Food is average and atmosphere is not the best but it's close if you don't want to drive into town. read more

Immediately greeted and seated (you can wait to be seated or just find an empty table). Our server was polite and professional. Lady was constantly going up and down bringing fresh chips and salsa to keep each table replenished. food was excellent. Tacos served on flour instead of a double corn tortilla so that threw me off a bit being from Texas where mexican food is a staple. The refried beans needed a bit better flavor. but everything else was really good. Clean tables and seats. Floor was not sticky or greasy. They have alcohol. Saw many beers and margaritas going out. there was a constant flow of business. Tacos Al Pastor are delicious. My husband loved his Enchiladas Mexicanas. Please take time to try them out. Good food. good people working there. read more

Best Mexican food in Kearney! If we eat Mexican anywhere else it is el Porto 8n Liberty.

A small Mexican restaurant directly across the street from the grave of Kearney's most famous son - Jesse James. A large Menu with all the standard fare from Street Tacos and Tamales to Fajitas and Salads. I love a good quesadilla and order them frequently. I veered away from my usual shrimp quesadilla when I noticed The Hawaiian, made with chorizo, grilled pineapple and lots of cheese melted between two crispy and buttery grilled tortillas. The best quesadilla I've ever encountered! It was large and served with sour cream and guacamole for $12. The free chips and salsa were adequate, the salsa was thick and tasty, albeit the chips were not fresh out of the warmer or fryer. My buddy the chimichanga addict was very satisfied with his go-to selection. Service was seamless and efficient. A definite return visit when I'm in Kearney again. read more

Molcajete Mexican Restaurante - Hawaiian quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Kearney, Missouri

Molcajete is a favorite of ours in Kearney. We dine there often for several reasons: good food, friendly and speedy staff, in a small atmosphere. Small enough that you can get to know the staff on a first name basis. Recently I tried a different meal selection, their Ribeye steak dinner. I was pleasantly surprised how well everything came together. A nice size portion a steak, shrimp, pineapple, rice and beans for $14.95. Don't expect a 1" cut of meat like Texas Roadhouse or Longhorn, but you will get a tender 1/2" slice of steak covered and surrounded by lots of tasty food. I was impressed as $14.95 hardly buys you a tenderloin sandwich in some restaurants nowadays. Stop in and meet Nabor, Ernesto, Jolee, Phillips, and others. They all are eager to serve and please you. read more

Loved the quick service, but for my one diary cheat day I really wanted an authentic chile relleno, what I got was a chile stuffed with cheese dip. Very odd and made the texture a bit unpleasant. But the quality was definitely there. If we are ever in Kearney again i might try the flautas or enchiladas next time. read more

I'll admit, that I wasn't expecting much when I visited because I already have a favorite Mexican restaurant in town. HOWEVER, I was actually pretty impressed. I presented the chicken lunch fajitas, which were only $8, every day of the week and a large margarita. Both were very good. The salsa is made with fresh cilantro, which I love and the guacamole was delicious too. I can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu. read more

Having eaten Mexican in Tijuana and Rosarito Beach, Mexican Neighbors that cook for me and eating Mexican all my life, Ihave to say this was the Worst!!! Salsa was tomato and garlic with a bit of cilantro thrown in. I had the Chicken Flautas. There was Absolut no seasoning on the chicken, just chunks of onions and green Bell Peppers. Guacamole was dark green, meaning that it was out for quite a time, not prepared fresh. Indigestion from salsa was so bad that I didn't get over it until 10 am the next morning. (we ate at 11 am). Ruined my day. My dining partners, (nine others) were not totally satisfied. I would NOT recommend this place. Many other better establishments in the KC area read more

This place is always good! Best Mexican food in town! Take out never more than 15 minutes! Great staff! Great food!

Great food! Some authentic dishes that are different from others. I tried the Molcajete dish and it delicious and huge!

Service is great and the food is always hot and fresh. The price is on par for other restraunts.

Good authentic tasting Mexican food. Great variety. Limited seating. A real local favorite.

I have been here a couple of times. The owner and his staff are friendly and professional. The food is truly terrific. They will need a larger building before long! read more

Saw a few reviews and decided to give it a try. Drove to Kearney with modest expectations. Blown away by the street tacos on our first trip. I had the Taquiza tacos. This plate included four tacos - steak, chorizo, carnitas and chicken along with a side of rice. Absolutely delicious! My wife had the Al Pastor tacos. They were so good she refused to share - a first for us in 35+ years of marriage. We'll be back...soon. read more

We went in Friday night around 715pm. The food was amazing! So fresh and so fast! It was absolutely delicious! We will be back again!

Always great food and staff!! The food is reasonable and the best I've had since moving to KC.

For a restaurant named Molcajete they only had 2 options and they were small but efficient portions. Was ok but I have had much much better. Service is sparse rude from people who were not even my server when I asked for my missing items was told they didn't come with it yet the menu said it did. Later same person told another patron she was also wrong I think he thinks he has never made a mistake. The lady bussing tables was super fast in her job when I went to pay and the other went to the restroom she zoomed over and cleared the table. The person said something and Mr. Now it all told her and she dug it out of the bus bin and tried to give it to the drink owner lol it was covered in mess omg it was hilarious like no one in there right mind would do this. Mr know it all tried to tell her to make another but she was insistent on giving the original cup from the nasty bin!!!! He in a hood walked off and made another it was hilarious and disgusting!! read more

Food just not as good as other Mexican restaurants in town, even their sister restaurant in Excelsior is better. Won't be back.

Excellent carnitas! Generous portion of meet plus your regular fare of beans and rice. Good selection of beers. Will be back! Oh, the service was great, too: fast and super easy going. read more

Molcajete Mexican Restaurante - Chicken Fajitas and My Personal Fav... Taquizas, 1 Each Chicken, Pork, Steak, and Chorizo! - Mexican Near Me - Kearney, Missouri

I must admit Mexican is not my first choice when dining out. I usually am disappointed as many Mexican restaurants smother their entrees in mounds of cheese and pass it off as "Mexican food" Molcajete was a very pleasant surprise. I ordered a burrito filled with a combination of steak, chicken and shrimp with shredded chorizo on top. It was drizzled with a light queso cheese sauce and it was outstanding. Super fresh and so full of flavor. Service was prompt, food was served shortly after ordering, and prices are very reasonable. I would highly recommend this new Kearney restaurant. I can't wait to return. read more

Pretty good place to eat for Mexican. Serve is average. Seating is ok and prices are average.

I could not say enough good things about this restaurant!!! The most amazing food. You have to try the seafood Molcajete bowl... it's to die for! Service was great too even when they were super busy! read more

Never a bad experience!!! Tacos, enchiladas, margaritas... all top notch!!!! The whole family enjoys eating here!!!

Food was average. Drinks were good. Ambiance was what you would expect for a Mexican restaurant. Service was sub-par at best. They were not busy and having to wait 5 minutes for salsa to put on the food to eat our meals was not reasonable-- thus the food was not hot when we did get to eat it. The waiter acted as if he was put out having to get more salsa. Won't be returning any time soon. Sad!! Was hoping for a good experience. read more
