los molcajetes mexican

excellent. my husband and i ventured into los molcajetes restaurant and were overcome with the wonderful aroma of fajitas and pleased with the family friendly atmosphere. the waiter was attentive to our every need, even my husbands insatiable thirst. my husband is a huge ice tea drinker who says they have the best ice tea in town. while waiting for our order we enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. the chips were fresh, thin, crispy, and salt free (a blessing since we are watching our salt intake). the salsa is mildly spicy with a side of hot if you want to add it to make your mouth cry for more. we received our food hot and it was mouth watering good. my husband had the fajitas and i nachos, they were amazing! i highly recommend, oh, you must try the frozen margaritas enjoy!

worst place ever!!!!. i went last night and i was not impressed at all. my food took about 20 minutes after i finished my appetizer to be made and i was not even offered more chips and salsa. the managers got onto the employees in front of the customers in a very rude tone which i found unprofessional. deff not coming back.

the line begins behind me. just when you think you figured it all out. . . someone throws you a curve. i thought i understood all about mexican food. to me it all tastes pretty good. some mexican and tex-mex restaurants are better than others, and i guess there are few bad ones in north texas but what fooled me was how great los molcajetes really is. i don't know what they do, but from the salsa and tortilla chips they serve at the table, to the entree it is magnificent. they serve two salsas a thin, rustic tomato-based pico de gallo type salsa which has a definite cilantro tang, and a piquant habanero salsa which comes in a smaller plastic cup. a little of this goes a long way. i had the mole enchiladas (see photo). their version of this popular dish was great! they have about twenty different daily lunch specials. curiously, i used to think that this restaurant was sort of fancy, but it is very casual with concrete floors, wooden tables and several televisions hanging throughout the main dining area. they also have a full bar. the food came out really fast too. the server remarked that after the lunch crowd the food preparation takes no time at all. what a surprise this was to find such a good restaurant in my neck of the woods. you learn something new everyday!

this is a great family place. found something that everyone at the table liked....the fried peppers were some of the best....everything else made me glad that we came here...

great place. love this place! tips has become a weekly trip for us, and always leave satisfied. my personal favorite is the brisket tacos and the xango dessert. you will not be disappointed. this is the one place we always take out of state family to when they visit. the servers are always great, they have a wonderful staff that are all very friendly.

used to be good...emphasis on 'used to be'. we used to love this place; everything tasted good, it was always fresh and hot. we went recently, and received our order suspiciously fast; by this i mean we had our food before our drinks. the meat for the fajitas was cool, and tough; the tortillas were rubbery. my chicken enchiladas were cold in the middle, and cool enough in other places that the cheese sprinkled on top did not even melt. the rice was very dry, and almost hard (think airline food). the chicken tortilla soup was lacking both the cheese, and the avocado. there has been a gradual step down in quality each time we have been recently, and this will be our last visit.

rice was dry; tamales were tasteless; beans not so good; and the hostess was rude!!!!

this place doesn't even compare to baja. their regular salsa was not very impressive. the hot salsa was great but they only give you a little cup of it. the margaritas were average at best. my bistec ranchero was good and spicy, but my fiances chicken enchiladas were extremely bland. if you want good mexican in that area go to baja better food and margaritas hands down!

could not believe people gave this place such a good review. salsa is a runny soup. guacamole looked and tasted like it was from a bag. everything we ate tasted like it had no seasoning. was excited to come here. now i am excited to leave

ok experience. my family, and i have been here twice, since our recent move to the area. although it is not the best mexican food i have ever had, it is good. my issue is the service. when we arrive we always have to wait, which is not a problem. the hosts are friendly, and they eventually get you to a table. then the waiter arrives. he was rushing us to order and behaved as if he would rather be doing anything other than serving us. i do realize that a service job can be stressful, but you have to keep a smile on your face and trudge on. if this is not something you can do, get another job. we will be back when we are in the mood for mexican food, but hopefully we get a better server.

good food, service and value. we felt compelled to visit los molcajetes after reading all of the online reviews and, while i won't go so far as to say it's my favorite mexican food in the metroplex, the rest of the reviews are pretty much right-on. fresh flavors, original menu items and generous portions. the service is fast and attentive, and the place was packed. the word is definitely out on this place. they do a great business. we will definitely be back, but we'll also continue to explore others of the many mexican and tex-mex restaurants in the area.

really good mexican food............ if you're looking for tex-mex, this is not the place. this is just really good mexican food. we went for luch at 11:15 am on a monday and the place was already beginning to get crowded. great chips and sauces (regular, spicy, and verde) and large portion on the enchilada lunch specials. everything positive here!

great tex-mex. enough said!

yum - o !. be prepared to wait, but listen to me...stay and wait! so so good...wish i was there right now. best cheese enchiladas and beef/chicken fajitas in dfw.

great mexican food. i eat at los molcajetes just about every weekend. the food is always good and sometimes great. the chilled red and green salsa's are very good and very consistant over the years. recently they added a warm/hot roasted salsa which is starting to grow on me. the charro beans are second to none unless they get a little to salty at times. i love just about every item on the menu with the exception of the chile rellenos which appear to be cooked in advance because they are deflated and soggy, not a good thing for this type of dish. my one and only complaint is that the food comes out way too fast almost like it was prepared earlier in the day... which it obviously is but works for us. the chicken mole is very good but later in the evening the sauce gets a little too thick. all of the portions are very generous.

i wanted to go over the chips and salsa's again.... very very good, and that is very very important because that is always half the meal in a mexican restaurant.
