El Molcajete Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Huntsville

I've dined at numerous Mexican restaurants, but this one stands out as our absolute favorite. It brings a comforting sense of nostalgia, taking me back to El Paso, TX, with its hole-in-the-wall charm.

The establishment's commitment to using fresh ingredients and genuine concern for its patrons truly shines. I've frequented this place on multiple occasions, and without fail, they consistently exceed expectations. Like always exceeds expectations.

On my recent birthday celebration, the restaurant went above and beyond to make the occasion special.

The guacamole is a delightful treat, bursting with flavor, while the home made chips and salsa are a testament to their dedication to freshness and love for their patrons.

Personally, I'm drawn to the Pollo Loco, a menu item that never disappoints.

The homemade desserts are equally impressive.

While not a Michelin 5-star establishment, it offers exceptional value without hurting your wallet.

The ambiance exudes a rustic saloon vibe, characterized by warm wooden tones and soft lighting.

The authentic music playing in the background enhances the experience. The staff consistently radiates a positive attitude, making a significant impact on the overall visit.

Whether you're winding down after work or seeking solace on a rough day, dining here has a transformative effect on your mood.

I wholeheartedly recommend supporting this local gem; it's undoubtedly a community favorite. This will forever be my...

1st clue, I was the only customer at 12:30. Taco meat was tasteless except for the occasional note of rancidness. The kicker for me was the $2.75 up charge for sour cream. 25 bucks for the 3 worst tacos I’ve ever had. REPLY TO MRG RESPONSE: I guarantee I did not lie. You said my ticket was $11. Just the tacos alone are $11.99. You charged me $2.75 for the sour cream and the rest of the $25 after the cost of drink was tip! Why would someone one be rude from the beginning before the cook makes your food. The waitress wasn't at fault, that's why I left her a tip. Did you steal that??? I put my name and picture on the review because I am telling the truth. How about I serve you with a lawsuit for calling me a liar and tarnishing my good name. Would you like for me to take a screen shot of my bank account where I spent $25 at your establishment that day. So let's just be honest, there's no way I would ever give your place which served me rancid meat (that's why I didn't eat much of that nastiness) another hope in hell of ever getting my business. If someone wants to eat there, GOOD LUCK !!!!! Awaiting...

Edit 6 months after first review : 2nd left buffet trip and everything was just as wonderful as the first time! Also added pictures. My husband wanted to try their lunch buffet while he was in town. We went in around noon on a Sunday. It was not very busy at all, 2 or 3 other tables while we were there. The host and waiter were very friendly and helpful. The decor and art was beautiful. The main areas and restroom were clean and tidy. For a small buffet, they had a good variety of options and everything was hot or cold as it should be. Everything was fresh and delicious! I thought it was great, my husband thought it was good but a bit too salty. I can't have anything spicy but he had everything with hot sauce so that may have been what was salty since I didn't find it salty at all. Overall a great experience and will definitely be back! But be warned, the bathroom was quite cool so the toilet seats are a bit brisk! Thank you guys for a...
