Taqueria El Molcajete - Kennewick

I have been a loyal customer ever since they took over this location from Chapala Express. They have always had the best customer service and best food. I am an office manager and when my office has special events I always have ordered from them Shop Local . Our office is not small either. My Staff and I frequent this location a few time a week for drive through lunch. I always get the same thing for years, Taco Salad, No shell, No Rice and no beans The friendly face (guy) at the window knew my order by heart and would always say The spicy salsa, Right? It was always 9 and I would always tip 1. The Cook was always a very nice older woman. Today was the opposite experience. I placed my order as I always have. There was a new (gal) Cynthia at the window. She took my payment for 9 and I gave her 1 tip. She then closed the door. I did receive my order promptly but when she gave it to me it was in a Styrofoam container 1/4 of the size I have always received. She closed the door. I was a bit confused and waited for her to open the window. I explained what I have always received and she got the cook who spoke Spanish (not the original older lady) and Cynthia said the cook said that was what I get for the same now. I told Cynthia this was terrible customer service and I was not happy and she was losing a loyal customer. She shrugged her shoulders and said Sorry, I just work here. I am not the cook. I told her I would not be back. And I won 't.

I love this place. I just came from the LA area and the food here compares to the food down there. My first time I went I ordered the Cali burrito. It was TASTY but I felt the portion was a little small for the price $11. After that I started ordering the Nachos. I?ve tried all the meats on the nachos and they?re so good. They?re cheap too $8 for most meats and you get a lot of food see photo. My husband orders the carne asada fries and he loves them. The portion is smaller than the nachos though. The tacos are great, all the meats I?ve tried are great porks, chicken, beef , and their guac and salsas are to die for. I would definitely recommend this place for fast, cheap, and delicious Mexican food!

Food was flavorful , well priced, and had a variety. Staff was friendly. Definitely will be back if you haven?t tried this place already highly recommended

Food was delicious, service was lacking in friendliness. Wish that the salsa with the chips when ordered as a side was clear what type it is. I have an avocado allergy so the kids were able to eat the salsa but I couldn't. I would have asked for pico de gallo had I known.

I could eat this every day of my life. i've only tried the nachos and burritos, but a solid 5/5 and the red, green, and avacado salsas elevate it to be even better. I love any place that has actually spicy salsa.
