Very colorful and cozy restaurant. Ordered and paid at the counter and the food was brought to our table. Service was great and the tacos were tasty. My friend got steak tacos and said the steak was seasoned well. The salsas were also good especially the red one! We enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back.

Eduardo and his lovely family do an incredible job of serving up AMAZING and authentic Mexican food. I can’t say enough good things about this place. My family and I are frequent customers and have never been disappointed. They’ve become our go-to for delicious “street” tacos and the guacamole is fantastic too. One of these days, we will have a byob date night so we can actually try their signature dish!

Tried this new restaurant on Friday night. Great food and great service. It’s BYOB and they have delicious homemade margarita mix. Food was tasty. The aguacate relleno isn’t something we’d normally try but the owner recommended it and it was absolutely the highlight. We also really liked the enchiladas and molcajete mixta we ordered. Everything was very tasty. Staff was very friendly and helpful and music was great too.

Giving only 3 stars because the hours are completely unpredictable. Fantastic food and service inside, but as with the previous establishment, they seem to only be open at random. Very frustrating when you’re looking for a reliable neighborhood spot to stop into.

My family and I just tried Mr. Molcajetes for the first time for lunch today. We loved our chicken burrito and veggie burrito bowl. Glad to have this great new place in the neighborhood! We will be back again very soon.
