“This is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant in town. Super nice family, they recognize us as soon as we walk in. The menu is priced right, the food is always freshly prepared and this is the one place where I can get liver and onions whenever I have a craving. I absolutely love their horchata as well.“
“I've spent quite a bit of time in Mexico over the years and, while I like many of the local Mexican restaurants, I've yet to find one with the authentic flavors I crave. Until today. Mi Molcajete is a real treat and has a broad menu of authentic and flavorful dishes. We were pleasantly surprised and had great service, incredible food and lots of left overs. If you like trying new things and want an authentic food experience go now to this place. ¡Buen provecho!“
“This is my #1 go to for Authentic Mexican food, though I don't order to many things, there is a couple of servers here that have actually put me on to some new dishes that I have never had before, that I will be ordering from now on, great place, especially after lunch rush...“
“A great spot to stop for some nice Tex-Mex!Place is always rocking with guests!A bit noisy due to the crowds, but very manageable.Portion sizes are huge, service is quick and personable, and despite then restaurant being at capacity, the wait is always minimal.Prices are fair as well!My only gripe is that being given a thimble sized bowl for a salsa bar is ridiculous. When did this behavior get normalized?!?! You can’t even put a chip in the bowl to dip!“
“The staff is on point here boys and girls! Service with a smile and the food to back it up! Well done. I went 25 minutes out of my way on Friday to hit this little gem of a food joint! So glad I did! I didn’t catch the first guys name at the front of the line plating the bowl, but if everyone had an attitude like this guy, the world would be a better place! One of my favorite things is the house made hot sauce! So delicious!!Cheers to you all for delivering!“
“What a nice surprise it was to stumble upon this authentic Guatemalan restaurant in Morganton! We dashed in for a quick lunch on a weekday. It was hopping with folks enjoying lunch. We saw a lot of people eating thr soup - served in deep ramen type bowls. Next time we will order soup. It looked tasty! As it was we ordered our favorites - I got three types of Tacos Al Pastor with fresh onions and cilantro. They will grill the onions if you prefer. I prefer raw. I ordered pork, beef and chicken. All tasty! Husband ate the tamale and some of my tacos. Chips were warm and crispy. You fetch your own salsa at a salsa bar - very fresh - the green sauce is extra picante (spicy)! Btw the service was fast and friendly, despite the crowd! There is also a store and deli/butcher shop on the other side of the restaurant. We will be back! Just go - !“
“I have a lot of allergies and it can be hard to find a place willing to accommodate them. I’ve always been extremely satisfied with my orders here and never had to send anything back so far. Super pleased with everything I’ve ever gotten.“

“The absolute BEST restaurant around! My husband, son and I love this place! We all order different things and love everything they bring out! They have a salsa bar too! They’re always fast and friendly!Kid-friendliness: My son loves this place! He just turned 12“
“You best come hungry y'all. I got a mess of them Texas fajitas and they was piled high and wide. Lord I mean meat meat meat and perfectly seasoned. I ate 4 meals out of what they gave me. That there horchata drink was good too what with that dash of cinnamon and ice cold, it balances your taste buds against the spiciness of the food. Magic drink. The steak here is pretty good too. Rice and beans are just right and they do good on the chips and salsa. You won't go thirsty here as the waitress was on the ball with refills and such. They's got outside tables too so plenty of seating for all. If you got lucky younguns there's a pizza joint next door so you could eat outside and git the you've pizza while you're a driving a burrito in you. Reckon if them 2 joints would team up and make a fajita pizza? Reckon that might be good.Kid-friendliness: Yes sir they'd mighty friendly to the younguns here. Seen about 8 to 10 there and theys all friendly towers each other.Parking: 1/2 acre of parking I would reckon.“
