Best WLM Reviews
I spent my entire career designing and building fancy restaurants with good food. This place is one of those places that you don't want people to flock to.
However, the atmosphere was very warm and beautiful and the Super Burrito was just the best and the biggest treat followed by the chilies relleno. Absolutely custom and very fantastic fanfare here. But I can understand if this place gets very busy. Gracious
We saw this place on Guy Fieri's DDD and were so intrigued we had to try it. It's an unassuming place in a little strip mall, sitting next to a Safeway. It was fairly quiet when we went in, a few of the cafe tables occupied.
We ordered the Molcajete Mixta, which as advertised on DDD was loaded with meat, easily enough for 4-6 people. The molcajete was so hot, the sauce was bubbling around the chicken, beef, chorizo, shrimp, cheese, jalapeno and nopal. And it continued to bubble for most of the meal. It was served with six homemade tortillas that were just beautiful.
All the meat was so tender, the shrimp were perfectly crisp and plump and juicy, the chorizo (made in house) was so savory and delicious. The sauce was incredible, but not spicy enough. I don't think they trusted us to eat spicy food - until she saw me chow down on the jalapeno and add extra hot sauce.
We also orded two tacos: one crispy, one not; filled with their al pastor. Perfection.
The only word I can think of is WOW!
I was on my back from the coast with Tony Ballzoni the king of little Italy, where we got our limits of crab and rock fish. I had planned on stopping at a burger joint I like on 4th street but Tony wanted to go to Taqueria Molcajetes, so off we went. What a great decision! I had probably the best pork enchilada I've ever had, it was amazing! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆
the owner of this place is really rude and mean, he says offensive things to me. i wouldnt go back ever again. food is decent, but way over rated and too expensive.
Having eaten the delicious authentic Mexican food here, I’m going to immediately reduce the rating for every Mexican restaurant in my hometown of Pittsburgh by two stars. Everything is bursting with flavor - even the refried beans are tasty! Where have you been all my life?!
Got there about 20 minutes before closing on a Friday night. Wife got a super burrito and I the Molcajete mixto. The food was delicious and serving was huge. Molcajete could have easily fed three people alone. Awesome taqueria!
Vibrant festive atmosphere with music. and fresh delicious homestyle food. Ordered the chilireanos dish and did not disappoint! Fresh thick tortillas are a treat. Lots to enjoy!
This place used to be good, and today I wanted to give it another chance, I ordered a birria de chivo and literally came with two big bones and chunks of cartilage, no meat at all.. this place is ripping people off. ???????? service sucks too. ????
