Reviews For El Molcajete

I really enjoyed the Tostadas Ceviche - they were great with the house margarita. The ceviche was so fresh and bright - delicious!! I recommend getting something small from the a la carte menu, with meat and/or cheese, or maybe some refried beans, so you can give your taste buds a break from the lime tanginess. The tamal was really good as a rest break.

Would just like to update as of 2025 and say that we still love this place just as much ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!! Even though we no longer live in Delano, we would absolutely make the half hour drive out!! Waiters/waitresses are incredibly friendly, attentive, and fun!! Prices are slightly below the norm, and food is incredibly delicious (our favorite is the Jerry's burrito)! We will absolutely come back again and again!

We really enjoy this place - the food and patio are fantastic! We really like the jerry's special burrito (level 7 spice!) and mole. Honestly, we haven't had an item we didn't like.

Best grilled fish and shrimp tacos I've had! Service was very friendly and prompt. Nice patio for outside dining (could use something to block the air conditioner) but otherwise it was very pleasant.

What a treat! I got the fajita burrito with mixed chicken/steak and jalapenos and it was amazing! The chicken was juicy and the steak was super tender. Plus, they use fresh jalapenos instead of the jarred so they have a little extra zest. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for some authentic mexican/hispanic cuisine!!
