los molcajetes mexican

thefoodis really good. the only problem i have is that there is no consistency in their hours of operation. they close 9:30 during the week, 10:00 on saturdays and 9:00 on sundays. i have never seen a restaurant with such sporadic hours. i went on a sunday at 9:20 to find them closed. i wish they would stay open till 10:00 7 days a week. so disappointed.

the best mexicanfoodaround!!. seriously--go during happy hour! you will leave even happier! :d the margaritas are huge and amazing and save room for sopapillas! they are not traditional with honey, they are soooo much better. i've lived in the dfw area for 22 years and this is by far my favorite mexicanfoodplace. love it!

the frozen swirl margaritas are to die for. thefoodis always fresh and the service is second to none. the fajitas are my favorite, dunno what the chef uses to season the meat bit its very addicting. i have been to this restaurant more than 100 times since 2007 and i have never had a bad experience. i would definitely recommend this restaurant if you like great tex-mex and the best margaritas in town.

my family are so happy to have discovered this restaurant in our area. thefoodis always wonderful! we choose something new all the time and yet to be dissapointed. steak, chicken, fish or just appetizers thefoodis always great. we make a point to go every week -it's one place we all agree on!

greatfoodand service. i had the pastor plate and it was a lot of good food. if you leave hungry you have issues. i highly recommend stoping in and having a great meal.

average. the chips and salsa are pretty good however their entree's are average. i love their sopapillas. friendly wait staff, great service however i've had better mexicanfoodin california.

amazingly fast!!. we heard about this place from a friend. we drove up on a friday night about 10 after 7:00 and there were a lot of
people standing and sitting in chairs out front, we thought waiting to be seated. we really didn't want to wait a long time for dinner but since we had been wanting to try this place for a while we made our way to the hostess stand and were told it would be a 30 minute wait. we took our light up notifier outdoors to wait. less than 5 minutes later we were being notified our table was ready?!?!? not sure what all of those people thought outside that had apparently been there for a while with large margaritas in hand as we walked past them all and into the restaurant to be seated. we were quickly greeted by a server, we ordered our drinks and 1/2 order of queso. they all arrived rather quickly and we then put our dinner order in. we thought the server was barely gone long enough to even step foot into the kitchen but she was already back with a tray full offoodto serve us. now we were suspicious that they were trying to quickly get rid of us??? lol!!! our son had two mammoth al a carte soft beef tacos that he greatly enjoyed. i had the 3 chicken enchilada verde that were good but could have much better if they were hotter. husband had 1 chicken & 2 beef enchiladas which also were not hot, but tasted very good. we will definitely return & give something else a try.

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 ourfoodhot 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. myfoodtook 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. thefoodcame out really fast too. the server remarked that after the lunch crowd thefoodpreparation 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!

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 ourfoodbefore 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.

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 betterfoodand margaritas hands down!

ok experience. my family, and i have been here twice, since our recent move to the area. although it is not the best mexicanfoodi 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 mexicanfoodin 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.

great mexican food. i eat at los molcajetes just about every weekend. thefoodis 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 thefoodcomes 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.
