Molcajetes Mexican Restaurant JERSEY CITY — Restaurant in Jersey City

This is a new place. I ordered last Saturday delivery was on time and the food was delicious ! Got Carnitas and Steak Tacos and they were delicious !! The best Guacamole ever! Didn't find food hot spicy at all, but flavorful and satisfying. This is authentic Mexican food, don't ask them to lower the heat. I have to edit this post just to ad the handmade tortillas are heavenly!

ANSWER WHY 4 STARTS instead of 5: The following Saturday I placed another order, don’t ask me how the delivery guy ended up by Newport Mall when I’m just 7-8 blocks away from your location. I called and the nice lady on the phone helped out, it felt you guys really care so it wasn’t a big deal for me. My food was delivered, the guy who delivered was concerned, but again I felt you guys care.. Food was good, not the hot chocolate; I know for sure Mexico has the best rich creamy spiced hot chocolate out there - what I got felt like american hot cocoa from a package, also the great guacamole didn't have radish or I didn't tasted it like before. I still highly recommend this place and certainly will be order again. You guys add nopalitos and cebollitas how awesome! and those hand made tortillas, I could eat those by the dozen! :-) I know you guys have elote, but what about Esquites? those will be fun to...

The place that got me to like Mexican food! I used to think I didn't like Mexican food in general, but it's just because my mom wasn't good at making it (sorry, mom hehe) and was into the Tex-Mex style rather than the authentic Mexican cooking that this place provides. It's my to-go takeout place! Were I the type of person more inclined to sit down and eat, I would enjoy the place as it's spacious, clean, and has a simple but beautiful Mexican aesthetic. (Also has a Mother Mary photo behind the cashier. How much more authentic can you get? 😂)

Please note that order usually take 10-20 minutes to prepare. I have ordered tacos and quesadillas. While they're worth the wait, don't expect the unreasonably fast service you expect from a fast food place like Dunkin Donuts. The place is still new, and the owner himself cooks as well, so I value this place for the quality and wouldn't go here to grab a quick thing to eat. What I personally do is order pick-up from Grubhub/Seamless and pick it up on my way to wherever I'm heading. In that case, plan...

I live a few blocks from here and order food pretty consistently. I love the quesadillas (any and all fillings). I believe their tortillas are homemade or perhaps special ordered bc they are quite thick and flavorful. not your standard grocery store variety of flour or corn tortillas.

Aside from the quesadillas, I've also had torta milanesa de res (fire), tacos dorados (both chicken and potato - potato is better), memelas (they were good, but i wouldn't get again), pazole blanco (I didn't like it - didn't finish it), and i once shared a molcajete with a friend. I found the steak a little too fatty and chewy for my taste, but the chicken, nopales, etc. was delicious.

Love how this place still delivers old school outside of the apps. Very convenient and avoids the fees of uber eats/etc.

Would recommend for a delicious and filling cheap...
