Service awful. But the Mexican food was the best I have ever had. But back to the bad service two hours for two people? A hour for drinks? I won’t come back, but the food was to die for.

I love this place for carryout and the dine-in experience is even better. The tacos are amazing. The chips are fresh and the salsa is so good I could eat it with a spoon. Had a margarita on my last visit and it is on par with other great margs in Louisville. ❤️

My family and went here for dinner. The service was good, a little slow starting out, but once they found out that we wanted to eat there, it was better.

Definitely authentic Mexican food! I live around the corner and heard great things about El Molcajete so I ordered through door dash. I got the Mexican rice and fajita style quesadilla. It took about 30-40 min to get it to me but when I got it everything was hot and very fresh! I agree with other reviews saying this restaurant is a “hidden gem” because it is!
