Reviews for El Molcajete Mexican Restaurant in Plainfield, IL

Food is great.. but I?d advise never to order online. Waited over an hour to get my food in the restaurant and they truly didn?t... care at all. Extremely disappointed. Will be going elsewhere Read more

These people don't know what authentic Mexican food is. The meat has no flavor it is burnt. These people must be from any other... place but mexico. Read more

Excellent food! This was really tasty, didn't even know it was here. On the list for sure!

People here are friendly, food is great but the day we were there it took 40 minutes to get our food. I think because they had a... huge order before us Read more

Every once in a while I find that hole in the wall that just makes you want to come back and try everything on the menu......... this place is it! Small whole in the wall restaurant that absolutely takes pride in the food they put in front of you. Everybite was delicious and filling. The food portion I had was well beyond my ability to eat it all but you can bet I tryed myhardest. If you are really hungry and want great food you won't be disappointed glad I did! Read more

I come here often food is great but tonight I ordered to go -chicken torta dinner side of chips and salsa and a taquito dinner.... When I went to check out I asked for a extra side of chip salsa?..I was told that I would have to pay extra which I was finewith but when she told me it was $4.69 I looked surprised and asked for a side of salsa? She said we can?t sell you just a sideof salsa you have to buy chips and salsa mind you they charged me for two sides of sour cream? why she couldn?t just charge mefor a side of sour cream and give me a salsa I have no idea I have worked in the food industry and I know it would?ve been veryhard for her to ring me out for a side of sour cream and give me a side of salsa. Don?t usually get good service here ( I don?tspeak Spanish and I?m black) but the food has been worth it but after today think it?s time we find a new place ?they pick andchoose who to give great service too and it?s annoying!

This is one of those 'hole in the wall' places that you would not assume to be so good based on the external facade. Having... said that, the service and food is definitely worth visiting for. Exceptional taste at a very reasonable price. You will not bedisappointed. Read more

A great place if you?re looking for decent and authentic Mexican food combined with friendly service. I got the carne asada and... it was one of the best I?ve had. Portion sizes were very generous as well. I also ordered the chicken tamale but it was very dryand tasted over cooked. Overall, recommend if you?re looking for a quick bite and craving Mexican food.
