We were so impressed with this cute place. Sat outside the waiter was so friendly we brought our own Tequila and they brought out mix in a pitcher. Food was awesome right down to the dessert. Prices were great! Will be back for sure!!

Stopped here after a hike. The restaurant is really pretty, it’s family owned, the employees are very nice and attentive. Just keep in mind when you order that it’s not “Americanized” so your burrito is not gonna be like a chipotle burrito. Food was good, would come back. Good prices too.

This one of our favorite restaurants in the area. The food is both authentic and delicious. The servers are friendly and accommodating. In the warmer months, there’s a cute patio area outside, too. Run, don’t walk to El Molcajete!!!

This place opened about four months ago and tonight we finally stopped in and I couldn’t be more happy that we did! The service was top notch. The complimentary house-made chips and salsa were fresh and fantastic but the guac stole the show! We will definitely be coming here again and ordering from DoorDash!!! Hidden gem for sure

Great meal - really liked the combination options (taco, chimichanga, and burrito) and the burrito was so big. Our waiter was so nice and his recommended dessert chocoflan was excellent. The outside patio is nice and colorful, also dog friendly.
