So happy I came. I had parked at another restaurant in the area but looked up reviews and decided to try this place instead. Molcajete was awesome, the staff was attentive and genuinely happy. True hospitality and authentic tasting food. Plus they give you a little carafe of salsa for your chips. You don't run out. Also they serve more Mexican beer than whats on the menu so be sure to ask. You'll be happy you gave them a shot.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

In town for a sporting event at the local college. My friend and I just wanted some guac, salsa, chips and a margarita. We saw they were rated a top mexican food place so we thought we'd give it a try. We started with margaritas I ordered mango and my friend got strawberry. I have never had a mango margarita arrive that was green. I tried it thinking maybe they brought me green apple by mistake.. nope not apple, not really any flavor I could detect other than alcohol so whatever, I'll drink it. My friend the. Looked up the ingredients for her strawberry margarita. Realized it's got red dye 40 and she's allergic, so we switch. Still can't taste the flavor. Ok I'll drink it. They did not skimp on the alcohol, that is the flavor we could taste. She got a tostada and bean dip. and I got a chili rellano. We shared the guacamole. The guacamole and chips and salsa were the best part of the meal. Highly recommend. Our other food we felt was way too salty. I don't know if it's normally that way or if was just an off night. The bean dip was also doused in queso which my friend was not expecting as she's lactose intolerant. We left most of our drinks also which is not usual for us but it was just not what we're were used to.

Great chips and dip and margaritas. They have tacos Al pastor and they are authentic. Great place for real Mexican food. If you want something less authentic go somewhere else. 10/10
