Review by Maxie Gibson

El Molcajete is a hidden gem for anyone craving delicious Mexican fare! ๐ŸŒฎ The cozy vibe makes it perfect for solo diners or groups. I highly recommend starting with the complimentary chips and salsa โ€“ the warm salsa was a delightful surprise!

I opted for the skirt steak, which was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The service was friendly, though our food took a little longer than expected.

It can get a bit warm inside, but the prices are incredibly reasonable for such quality. Can't wait to return for more tasty bites! ๐Ÿ˜‹
