This is our favorite Mexican restaurant.Crazy as this seems but sometimes when we return from Mexico this is where we can’t wait to come back to.A few of our favorite things on the menu are chicken fajita tacos with flour tortillas,The main namesake dish- the Molcajete, carnitas and Paloma’s and over the top Margaritas.

Chips taste a tad weird, but the fajitas, enchiladas, tacos, beans and rice are all

Always had amazing food here. The orders get mixed up some times. But they are always willing to fix it. Meals come out really quick as well. We drive over 40 minutes to just go here. We miss the Buffalo location.Kid-friendliness: It's either tacos or chicken rings for kids choices.

Carnitas at first glance we’re daunting, looking a little like crusty deep-fried donut holes.. They came apart easily with a fork, however, to reveal tender, succulent meat. No sauce except a small side of tomatillo salsa. The ala carte chile relleno was maybe the best I have tasted with a chile that was unusually spicy, a pleasant surprise. At their Buffalo store (closed since covid) I usually ordered chilaquiles.This food is carefully seasoned and a lot more complex than many Mexican restaurants. The menu is diverse and interesting. Other Mexican restaurants I have tried in that part of the state are so-so at best. Molcajete is top-notch, well worth the trip out from the Cities.

I don't know how they're in business, the worse, rudest people run this place. Just awful.

The food was amazing. Probably one of the best authentic Mexican foods that I have had in a very very long time. If you are ever passing by Waverly or Delano Minnesota this is definitely the place to go. The guy at the register was a little too quiet and we could not hear him and they didn't come and check on us after they gave us the food. But the atmosphere was authentic. There was Mexican music playing in the background and the inside had Mexican writing on the wall. It was very cute and the menu is a digital monitor on the wall and it is big enough to read. The only reason why I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the guy did not come and check on us to see if we needed anything.Vegetarian options: Yes

If you like Mexican food - this is the best! If you are within a half hour (or heck, even further) of Delano it's worth the drive over. It's tucked away in an unassuming building, but don't let that question your decision! Spice level is the name of El Molcajete's game. The salsa that comes to the table even has a little kick. I ate an entire bowl and basket of chips by myself it was so good! Everyone that has been here (aka the entire town of Delano) raves about Jerry's Special Burrito (named after the owner). I was close to ordering it - but of course - I got the enchiladas. If you know me or read my reviews, I'm a creature of habit. I went with the tricolor to try every sauce (Mole, Tomatillo, and the Cheese Sauce that they are known for). I'm not a big Mole guy, but it was still tasty. Second favorite was Tomatillo (delicious). But WOW was the cheese sauce bomb. WHEN I go back, I'm getting all three that with the cheese. They do every dish by spice level. 5-10. I love spice and went with a 7... I'm not sure I'd go to a 10. My server called a 5 jalapeno level, a 7 habanero level, and a 10 ghost pepper level. Service was great. Food was better. I'd eat here TOO MUCH if I had the chance. Simply put - I'd take this over every Mexican place I've tried, and I seek out Mexican places frequently. Trust me. Try it and suffer being disappointed that it is only in Delano and you'll be putting many more miles on your vehicle to return.
