So good! Authentic Mexican food, music, and vibe. Really had a great time here! Will be back 100%. Tacos and ceviche were awesome. If you’re looking for a price conscious dinner though, I’d say prices are a little on the higher side. But it’s good food, worth it!

Loved this place cause of their awesome year round patio. It is really beautiful there and the food it top notch, specially the tacos. But, the last time I went (had made a reservation for 3 in advance), instead of “how are you this evening”, I got, “Hi, well, you only got an hour and a half cause tonight we are fully booked.!”. Then we sat down and literally did not get a server assigned to our table; we had to fish the waiters passing by our table every time, begging from water, drinks and to order food (since we were “in a rush”). Again, the tacos were delicious, but since this restaurant isn’t the cheapest, I was expecting a bit more of hospitality.

We love going to Molkagtez for family and friends dinners, the food is very good, and the place is great for groups. The menu has a large variety of options and we love the vegetarian ones. The drinks are also great, especially margaritas, they just changed their glasses and look way better now. About the service, it has been a bittersweet experience, Sometimes it is great, but not always, some sometimes we had bad experiences with the service, being unorganized and lacking engagement. On this last visit was better than our previous one, however, you can tell it still needs improvement. I’m saying this because I have great hopes for this restaurant can be one of the top best in the city.

Great and varied menu. Lots of great cocktail choices. Very attentive and caring service. Food taste and preparation was very good. Nice, lively vibe in the restaurant... check out the back room! The only issue was the kitchen being slow, but in their defense, it was a busy night. And the servers were constantly checking in to see what was happening with our food... we didn't feel neglected! The owner was very present and kept his team running smoothly. We'll be back!
