Taqueria Los Molcajetes — Restaurant in Lockport

I had the torta cubana, I ate a quarter of it cause I was hungry. The meat was hard, could barely take a bite off of it. Hot dog seemed warmed up, instead of grilled , the egg was over cooked, the bread could’ve been toasted better. It was lukewarm and a bit soggy, and it was missing a key ingredient which was the grilled pineapple. I gave some to my son, he didn’t like it either. It was fully loaded and had grilled panela cheese as it should. I also had a cup of corn , which didn’t have enough Mayo or crema, but it was super salty, they also didn’t add the chile piquín which it really needed ! Also, tried the Gordita de chicharon, which lacked flavor, but it included a bunch of messy unwanted ingredients that I didn’t ask for. Lettuce, sour cream and tomatoes. I could taste everything but the chicharon and the green sauce in it, bland and bitter. The only thing that wasn’t too disappointing was the champurrado, and even that...

This place is legit. Slightly bigger than your average street tacos, portion size is really great so the value here is awesome. Al pastor was great, Barbacoa was great, the steak was good but not the main show. Chilaquiles were really good (ordered with red not green sauce). The red hot sauce is FANTASTIC but— be warned gringos— it’s hot af. The green mild sauce is flavorful equally outstanding just not a total heat show like the red. Service was quick and friendly. The place is tiny so keep that in mind however it has a favorable outdoor area and because of the location it’s actually tolerable to sit outside.

Please spend your money here so it can be here a long time and I can get my tacos...

We had such a wonderful experience at Taqueria Los Molcajetes in Lockport! My sisters were visiting from California and we were staying nearby when we got hungry late at night. We walked in just two minutes before closing, but instead of rushing us out, the staff welcomed us with warmth and kindness. The hospitality felt like family—so genuine and gracious. On top of that, the food was absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. It’s rare to find a place where both the service and the food are this exceptional. A huge thank you to the team for treating us so well—we’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this gem to anyone...
