Excellent experience. The food was delicious and the service was great. Would definitely eat here again. If you're in the area and want some delicious food stop in.
The food was awesome. Lots of flavor! We got in right away, the food came out very fast and very hot. No wait and the staff was very friendly and funny, they have jokes for sure. We will be back.
Wow, since my last visit this place has really made a turn for the better. Definitely recommend this place. My experience a year ago in 2022 was not as pleasant and my review read as follows... Worst service ever. Tried taking my mother out to eat here and the server has totally ignored us the whole time. Been here almost an hour and still haven't received my entire order (only entree) , given us wrong kind of tortillas twice. Chips were stale. Food was greasy and over priced and I never got any hot sauce despite it being a Mexican food restaurant and I only requested it 5times !!! Terrible. Worst restaurant experience ever ****Update***** Fast forward to today and I brought my mother here for mother's day because despite my experience last year (which was the last time I have visited since until today) and I have to admit I am glad I gave them another chance. Our server Ed Brian was the best server my family has had while dining out since covid. Such a delight to have a server who cares about their table and is polite and attentive and enthusiastic for a change. Poor unenthusiastic service is killing the restaurant industry one restaurant at a time. The food was fresh and delicious as well with absolutely zero flaws and their selection of authentic Mexican hot sauce made my day. I'm delighted to say that El Molcajete has definitely redeemed itself for me and I look forward to my next visit. Thank you Ed Brian, today's kitchen staff and the rest of the team at El Molcajete for the pleasant food experience and mother's Day gift to my mother and wife.
Love it here! Always treated amazing. Gabe is a great manager and Ramon was our favorite server. (Currently looking for a new one) But, everyone there is great.
Sometimes they are overcrowded but that's because they have the best Mexican food around here. Always friendly. Good specialty drinks and the salsa they bring *if* you ASK for spicy salsa is fantastic.
This restaurant was so good its crazy. The amount of food for your money was mind-boggling. I got a virgin strawberry daiquiri and it was to die for. My main dish was the Pollo con queso. Very satisfied customer.
Been twice this week while in town visiting family. Both times the food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Great patio seating.
Been going here since we moved to Springfield, Gabriel is the most tentative and reliable guy always treats us like family!!! The food is epic and so are the portions you will be taking some home for lunch the next day, atmosphere is great and the margaritas are great for a stressed out day dealing with idiot supervisors.
