El Molcajete Mexican Restaurant - Goldenrod

Really good authentic Mexican food. Really good customer service, huge variety of food and awesome prices.

Nice little clean spot on Goldenrod. The food was delicious! Service was fast and friendly. I will definitely return.

All I gotta say is yummm😋 food is always delicious and staff is always nice. If you like Mexican food this place is a no brainer.

Home made guacamole is amazing! Food is fresh and full of flavor!

So glad i finally made it over there. Actually an old coworker recommended it to me cause she's friends with the owner so i knew through her i was gonna get the ultimate mexican experience and we did. We ordered El Molcajete and it was amazing. My tia didnt even make her little tacos she just ate straight out that bowl the carne and shrimp with the side of rice and beans. The service was fast and our waitress was sweet. Cant wait to take the rest of the family

Very impressed!! Food was fresh and tasty, staff was so nice. Restaurant was super clean, including bathrooms. Only con, is no drinks but beer. Wish this place had a bar. Regardless, we will be coming back for the food!

I love mexican food, cant go wrong. First time here I was welcomed with such a warm presence. Food was delicious and the service was great. Monica was so lovely

The birria is banging. Got Ramen birria and personal birria pizzadilla. Used a delivery service. Came hot and delicious.

I was recommended the birria tacos. I m so glad I went and tired them!! Amazing food and even more amazing service. Its a little "taguarita" but real authentic yummy food.

Hubby was hungry for a taco snack, so I searched “taco” and found that I had this joint bookmarked. From the outside, it looks small, but inside it is so spacious. We looked at the menu and it has lots of combo options, as well as a la carte. Hubs ordered 4 tacos with all different meats and I got a Gordita with cabeza (de vaca). We had a Horchata to wash everything down. YUM YUM YUM! We will be back so the baby can try their quesadillas!

Food was amazing and the service was great too. Probably the best actual Mexican food I've had in Orlando. Try it!

This is an authentic Mexican spot. Really great flavor tacos and the price is my favorite part. Highly recommend!

Yummy food, plenty of appetizers that will fill you before you even get to the main dish! The Papas Locas were creative and delicious! I had the tacos, beans, and rice for my main and had enough for another meal. It was authentic to a Mexican taco and sides were amazing. Would return when in the area visiting friends, as they have a lot to offer on the menu!

Excellent service. I was pleasantly surprised with the food, because I have been to many Mexican restaurants in Florida and this is the first one I have seen that prepares the gratin burrito. Ley was the one who served us. Very friendly and pleasant, and more than a waitress, she behaved like a true hostess.

I had the vegetarian fajita dinner and asked them to remove the cheese and sour cream. They did everything correctly and with a smile. The food was absolutely amazing and even better the next day. It was a very good value. I'm coming back again.

Walked in & already knew everything was going to be excellent! Waiters were very sweet and nice, place was clean & nice music !! I ordered 2 ground beef tacos with some sauce to dip it in… Amazing. so flavorful & delicious! For dessert, I had the chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream. It was soooo good, the cake was very warm and creamy with the vanilla together! Overall, a wonderful experience! Definitely going to recommend this place !! :)

Absolutely the most delicious, perfectly seasoned Mexican food we've ever had, and the churros were fantastic! I ordered the gringa (al pastor) for a lighter lunch & hubby ordered the Molé Poblano. The server was lovely. She was very attentive and just so sweet. The restaurant & bathrooms were clean, too! We will definitely be back as regular customers!

Ceviche was fresh. Great portion. Birria Ramen was also very good. Try the Passionfruit Agua Fresca. Come support this local gem :)

Highly recommended! Amazing food, friendly service, great presentation of the food, large portions, it tasted really good and came on a huge plate which was fun to see. Mary was our server and was a very sweet waitress. She helped make recommendations on the menu items and was on point. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Tip: Try not to judge the outside of the building when you drive up by the quality of food and service. I would come again. It felt authentic.

The food is beyond amazing and the people who work here and the kindest souls ❤️. Only place I'll go for Mexican food. Delicious Torta de Birria and their churros will brighten your day. Amazing everything 😄 (I couldn't help myself to eat half the sandwich before I took the picture 😅)

Absolutely delicious. Some of the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. I'll absolutely be back and i cannot wait to tell my friends!

I can't give this place enough stars! This place is a local hole in the wall (and I mean that in the most reverent way possible) serving authentic Mexican food! The staff is friendly, accommodating, and the food is delicious! You won't be disappointed!

Simple spot offering great Mexican food! They’re low key but well run. The menu is well designed and easy to find online, which is much appreciated. Service was also great! Food was delicious and authentic. Chorizo tacos were to die for, and their guac was so fresh! Chips are also another highlight, crunchy and warm. Can’t wait to go back and try some of their drinks!

Best birria tacos in Orlando! Highly recommend to anybody looking for good quality Mexican food. Service was great as well — very fast and friendly. Authentic experience.

Great little Mexican restaurant! House made chips and salsa, authentic corn or flour tortillas, and excellent top shelf guacamole (best value in town). We go here often and usually order from the vegetarian menu. Always satisfied, always fresh! Also a delicious selection of house made drinks like strawberry lemonade made with real strawberries! Fantastic and prompt service!

What a great little gem. From the outside it looks like a whole in the wall, but once you enter you are greeted with cool art work and great food. We enjoyed our lunch. The quesa birria was very flavorful. We'd definitely go back. The service was great as well.

It's a little gem . Small but powerful restaurant. The service is always amazing. The food never disappoints. I wish they had a bigger alcohol menu besides beer. But this is my go to spot for Mexican food. I love it so much!

The food was AMAZING! so much flavor and the portions are generous. Monica was my server and she went above and beyond to make me smile, laugh and was just such a joy to be around. The other lady that was there also checked on our table often and made sure our drinks were filled and we were happy. I highly recommend this place. I had such a good time and I can’t wait to go back.

When ever my husband and I want Real Authentic Mexican food, we alway check to see what is out there…but we ALWAYS decide on El Molcajete Mexican Restaurant. Authentic Mexican family cooking, Delicious flavors. Lauren helped us decide on what to eat and was Super courteous and had a big smile the whole time. Come eat this Delicious food and experience REAL CUSTOMER SEEVICE! Best in Orlando 🏆 ♥️

I wanna highlight the attention and the customer service we received here at el molcajete in Orlando, Florida. They are very welcoming people and makes you feel comfortable, love the atmosphere ❤️ Food was authentic Mexican delicious food and their portions are big enough to share. Their menu has lots of choices and with the help of the staff members you can get a great choice of food to enjoy! I highly recommend this restaurant when you are very hungry or when you just want to enjoy a delicious and authentic Mexican meal.

El Molcajete is a fantastic little spot! We saw their Wednesday Special for Birria Ramen with 3 quesabirria tacos for $10 on their Facebook and had to go check them out. The food and drinks were delicious and came out quickly. Such a good value! Their menu is great and they even have an AYCE Taco Special for $19.99 on Tuesday! Also worth mentioning, the restaurant is SPOTLESS. It's obvious they take pride in up-keeping the restaurant because this place is CLEAN!! In addition, the service was phenomenal!! We have two little ones who can be a handful at the dinner table sometimes and our server was so accommodating and amazing to all of us. 10/10 recommend and we will be back soon! Thank you so much for a great experience!

So good. Finally a place with real tacos (handmade corn tortilla, meat topped with onions and cilantro). First time having birria tacos with consume (forget the dish's name) was delicious. Will return again! Also, coca cola (from Mexico), sweeet.

Looking for a birria tacos fix? Right here. My wife and I gave it a try. Delicious, hot and flavorful. Absolutely yum, all I can say. We’ve had their other food too which is also delicious. Love this place and definitely will be coming back soon to try some other items. Suggest you try them too! 😋

My first time there, the services was nice, and sufficient. The food came out fast and it was really good, I would like to go back and try other things from the menu.

Little place with good food; orders came out fairly quick. Fresh guacamole, tasty hot sauce and the street corn 🌽 on the menu was a nice surprise.

I had the quesabirrias and a michelada. Coming from Houston where the food is always good lol I would definitely say I enjoyed it. Wish the birria was a little bit more seasoned and salsa to be spicier but it was really good. Wait time to get food was a bit long. Worth the wait for me.

I purchased two orders of the Birria Tacos and a Beef Quesadilla.They looked good but they lacked seasoning so I’ll say it’s a solid 5 out of 10. It didn’t have any spice to you or anything to enhance the flavor. The Ground Beef quesadillas were really good and seasoned perfectly a 10/10. I’ll definitely be back for a Quesadilla ✨

Waited 15 minutes for my pick up order on top of the 20 minutes that the food would take to cook. When I got there, the lady was checking on my order and they hadn’t even gotten my elote started. I ordered carnitas (between 3 and 6 pm so I should’ve been charged for the lunch menu; got charged for dinner but whatever) and they BARELY gave any vegetables for the tortillas (in photo). The pork in the carnitas was too oily. The elote had way too much cheese and tajin. I wasn’t given any utensils or even tortilla chips. Average food, nothing special.

So basic tacos pastor terrible meat was rotten smelling and tasted terrible dry and old no pineapple no slow cooked nothing. My kid has chicken tacos super dry also tasted little spoiled. The queso was watery and the chips were stale. Wouldn’t try this place again.
