The atmosphere is lively and the staff cool-headed but busy. But OMG the food is drop dead amazing…read more We had a quesadilla and one each of the pork tacos. Enough for two for a light lunch. The flavors transcend what one might call a taco. Rich, though never greasy, spicy but not too much, complex and fussy but not like those fancy places that make you feel like ten people have handled your food. The mole was the best this side of the border (and i'm not talking the Canadian border). A broth (an jou) subtle and perfect. Good thing I don't live in town, or maybe I'll move here now. Not sure now.

I went on 2 separate occasions & had 2 different experiences. First of all, it's expensive. BUT…read more$3.99 a taco wasn't bad on my first visit because the tacos were FULL. However, the 2nd visit, the tacos were half the size. Also, the sopes had VERY little meat. Chips & salsa were flowing on the first visit, but we barely got a 2nd bowl within the 20 minutes it took to take our order . The jalapeño margaritas are FIRE! There is a back room that can be reserved for parties and it has a nice view of the water! Overall I like this place, but would prefer to get my first visit experience each time. The photos posted are the first visit size tacos.

We were visiting nearby for the week and wanted to branch out from the resort restaurant where we…read morewere staying. One of the front desk staff recommended El Molcajete Mexican Grill, about a 5 minute easy drive away. Parking is right out front and there is plenty of it. Handicapped too, with no stairs or steps to get in or out. Nice, clean, welcoming and I LOVED the carved Mexican diningroom chairs with the hand painted agave plants. The artwork on the walls was mighty impressive too. Very pleasant. It was not crowded the night we went and it felt like a local, "regulars" crowd. Older, with lots of experience with the giant Margaritas served. I think there was at least one at every table. Husband tried the CAMARONES A LA DIABLA ($23): grilled shrimp with hot red sauce. Served with lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, onions, rice, beans, avocado slices and tortillas. It was HUGE. The plate it was served on reminded me of the turn-table plate from a microwave oven! I tried the TACOS DE CAMARON ($23): grilled shrimp folded in three corn tortillas drenched with red sauce. Served with lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, rice, beans and avocado slices. I actually would have just ordered the regular street tacos if I had known mine was going to be drenched in red sauce. Both meals were tasty but neither of us could finish the huge portions. Staff is friendly & efficient. Food arrived very quickly too. There are two TVs on the wall, both tuned to some sporting event. I believe the sound was off as I also heard Mexican music quietly playing in the background. Nice place if this is your vibe for Mexican food (aka Tex-Mex). You won't leave hungry or unhappy, especially if you have a giant Margarita!

Good Latin music playing, helps to keep the vibes positive, very colorful with parrots and art as well. The food is VERY fresh and VERY good. Chips and tortillas came out steaming hot, I love that. You can taste the difference. I tried Sergio's platter which has many items (carne asada chile relleno, taquitos, enchilada), as well as some carnitas, all of which was delicious. Service was efficient and very friendly. Nice people who work here. We got everything pretty fast and we were checked on often.

Pretty nice atmosphere walking in. Was seated immediately…read more Salsa had a more smokey flavor but not much spice. It was good, would like a little more pepper. Margarita was strong, no complaints on that. I ordered pork street tacos but there was no radish, lime or green sauce but good on cilantro, which I love. You will need to request those separately. The meat was there but could use a little more spice. I get it, they probably don't want to over flavor but I am not one to say more kick either, so for me to say that is something. That's the only reason I gave 4 stars because this girl needs to have more spice from a Mexican restaurant.

I was looking forward to visiting this restaurant again. At one time the burritos were excellent…read more The food was disappointing, or worse. The service was unsatisfactory in that it felt like we were not welcome. This was despite the restaurant being half empty at lunchtime. This time the burrito was wrapped in a plain, dry taco with no cheese or sauce, stuffed with dry chicken and a few beans. The menu said it included cheese and rice. This one didn't. Eating it was like chewing rawhide. With tip, it cost more than $30. Don't bother. Jefferson County boasts a number of good Mexican restaurants. I did complain but received no response.

Great for a quick bite. But do not try to call in an order -- no one will ever pickup. Customer service is not always the best-- staff seems short handed a lot on the dine in side and it is really difficult to get anything customized. I had issues with requesting a kids menu. I was told they just pair down the adult sized dishes. So, when we ordered a small plate of one enchiladas and rice for a kid in our party, the server (who had told me about the kids menu not 10 mins early) acted like it might be impossible. I dunno. Sometimes it is very weird. Its a total bar vibe-- more of a cantina like situation than a sit down restaurant. Nonetheless, I do go here often and the food is always pleasing.
