What User likes about El Molino Mexican:
This restaurant is a gem! Our go-to dish is the chicken enchiladas, don't forget to try the green sauce too! The food tastes amazing! Without a doubt, this place serves the best Mexican cuisine in the area. The decor is original and well put together. The restaurant is clean, the food is delicious, and the service is fast and friendly. I highly recommend this place and give it 5 stars! View all feedback. What User doesn't like about El Molino Mexican:
I wish I could say food was great, but it wasn't, I had tamales dish, it comes with rice and beans. The flavor wasn't that great, and the appearance wasn't that good either. I love Mexican food and i wish I could count on El molino due to it's proximity.

This restaurant offers a wide range of experiences, from spectacular flavors to dismal service. While many diners rave about the delicious enchiladas and flavorful mole sauce, others lament over tasteless tacos and poor ingredient quality. Service has been notably inconsistent, with some customers encountering rude staff, although others appreciate the attentive team that brings delightful surprises like complimentary fried ice cream for birthdays. Overall, this establishment is praised for its long-standing reputation and satisfying meals, yet drives home the importance of both food quality and customer service, leading to a comprehensive dining experience worth revisiting.

El Molinos is our go-to Mexican restaurant. Whenever we dine out in the city at a Mexican restaurant, we always measure the food and service against El Molinos....

I've been eating here for over 30 years. The food is a notch over any Mexican restaurant. I love salsa.

Amazing Authentic Mexican Restaurant. Friendly staff, Family owned. These are the type of restaurants we need to support.

Been far too long. Great dinner tonight and wonderful service from Ramona! Enchiladas en Mole were excellent!
