El Molcajete Ky Mexican - Louisville

Sherry and I have been eating here for a few years. The restaurant is a very local, casual place. There's booths and tables, a small bar and a pool table. The chef smokes his own chicken here which is a delicious treat! They say if a Chinese or Mexican or Jewish restaurant are filled with the local ethic community, that's the place to go. There are families and couples, groups of friends and people getting out of a hard days work. The food is authentic and so good. We have tried nachos and burritos, menudo and seafood stew and the chicken. The staff speaks English and Spanish and we have never had an issue communicating. It's just like the many times we've been to Cancun. Everyone is friendly and helpful. We have never left hungry! Sorry no photos, I usually remember after I've devoured half of what I've been eating! Next time!

Service awful. But the Mexican food was the best I have ever had. But back to the bad service two hours for two people? A hour for drinks? I won’t come back, but the food was to die for.

Buena comida, great food. Will be back for my bday this weekend ? A true hidden gem ? The best authentic mexican food you will find on preston hwy.Food: 5/5

My husband I was getting tires from across the street we started to smell the best smells coming from here! As we went inside I stood there not knowing if I waited to be seated or seat myself? I ask the lady behind the counter as to what I do she motioned for me to just go around the corner never uttering a word confused but as once again the smell of good food is my purpose so I sit down a young man brings chips I tell him my husband is coming can we get 2 sweet teas he leaves for just a few seconds returns to say they don 't have tea so I ask for 2 Pepsi as I wait 2 gentlemen sit at the table next to mine as they sit another sever brings them a beautiful qpqlate of nachos (mabe they new them idk) as I sat there waiting on my drinks or at least a menu the sever gets there drink oder brings it back and takes there food order.while I sit there still waiting they are now eating and my husband comes in he says did you get me a drink I replied yes but they haven 't brought them or a menu my husband then says give it another couple min we did but they never returned so as I see the other tables being sever and some with more than one server we decided to leave as I walked to the door and thanked them for the services we never received she smiled also and waived goodbye! As we went to leave the nicest young man approached us saying how sorry he was even tho he didn 't work there he new the owners and there not them kind of people to just leave guest waiting he ask us to return instead so they could make it write if it would have been the server or someone that worked there and not there dedicated guest we would have! But as I would have loved to try the food with the amazing smell we couldn 't ? hopefully one day

Wonderful food! The asada tacos are amazing! The building itself is run-down and needs some work aesthetically speaking. But it is very good and I will be back for more food.
