Los Molcajetes Méxican Restaurant — Restaurant in West Valley City

We visited this restaurant for the first time on Mother’s Day, and unfortunately, it will be our last. The experience was disappointing on multiple levels.

The seating was uncomfortable and poorly arranged, which immediately set a negative tone for the evening. There was no alcohol available, which was unexpected for a full-service restaurant, especially on a holiday. While the food itself was decent in flavor, the quality and service did not match the price point.

I ordered a molcajete, which came with overcooked, dry meat and lacked the traditional accompaniments such as chopped onions and cilantro. My mother requested a lime from our server and never received it. Her overall service was inattentive and forgetful.

Additionally, instead of offering complimentary ice water, which is standard at most restaurants! we were automatically served bottled water, without being informed that each one would cost $4. This lack of transparency is unacceptable. For a total bill of $75, the value simply wasn’t there.

Between the dry food, uncomfortable seating, hidden charges, and inattentive service, this visit was a major disappointment. I do not recommend this restaurant and suggest trying Puerto Vallarta instead, where the food, service, and transparency are far...

This is one of those family owned, small, but homey hole-in-the-wall Restaurants that is truly a gem! Los Molcajetes Sabor Casero has large portions of moderately priced deliciousness! The restaurant interior holds about 30 people and the waitresses are beautiful, attentive, and helpful. The table salsa was very good and the chips were freshly made thin and crispy. They are open for breakfast and lunch and all items on the menu are delicious. From huevos rancheros, Chilaquiles, tacos, or Milanesa, it is all cooked to perfection. They are willing to make changes for a personal preference as you wish. I highly recommend this small business for flavor, freshness, cleanliness, and professional...

This is my first visit to this restaurant. I am originally from California and have found it quite difficult to find good, authentic Mexican food. I was referred to try this place from a coworker and I am so glad I did. The look of this place, from the ceiling beams to the paint, gives a good feeling for what you might expect inside. The staff was welcoming and the table and salsa bar appeared clean and taken care of. The waitress who served me, apparently she was new, gave me some great head. I was truly amazed at the quality of what I received. It hit the spot. Turned out to be exactly what I needed. I will be going back again for more head. This is now my favorite local...
