Los Molcajetes - Las Vegas

Best Mexican Food I have ever had at a restaurant! Found this on Zomato before we ever arrived in Vegas and just knew I had to try it. The food was outstanding, and the servers were very nice (even though she didn't speak any English!   The mariachi band showed up as we were leaving. If you want Real Authentic Mexican Food, this is IT!

Fantastic restaurant for Mexican food! Originally recipes handed down from many generations. The salsa is the best I've ever had and the service was great. Highly recommend this place to anybody looking to satisfy a Mexican food craving. Los Molcajetes is a rare special gem indeed.

Highly recommended. 09/20 visit: this small family-owned restaurant, situated in a working class neighborhood, serves authentic Mexican fare. We were served warm tortilla chips and a watery, but spicy salsa. Based on my extensive pre trip research we started off by sharing a very good burrito with pork in a green chili sauce. We also shared a unique creation served in and named after the 3-legged stone tool, molcajete, used in Mexico to grind chilies and spices. This artfully presented dish included, in our case, a combination of beef, chicken, shrimp, nopales (cactus), scallions and slices of avocado in a rich red sauce and served with flour tortillas. You grab a forkful of anything or everything, place on a warm tortilla, fold and enjoy. It proved be very tasty, but more than we could finish. As we waited for our check, I remarked that we probably were among only a handful of tourists who have ever dined here. Hearing this, one of the guys at an adjoining table turned around and remarked that he was from Brooklyn. 3.5 Forks out of a possible 5.

This restaurant may not be in the best part of town, but it is definitely unique and serves great food. Be sure to try the giant Molcajete with your choice of meat. Just remember, they only accept cash.

I visited this restaurant based on a friend's recommendation. The portion sizes for the molcajetes were impressive. The service was a bit slow, possibly due to some issues they were dealing with in the restaurant, such as a ceiling leak. The aguachiles molcajete was spicy but tasty. The ranchero molcajete had plenty of meat and the sauce was still bubbling when it arrived at the table. It also came with homemade tortillas. Next time, I plan to share a molcajete with someone instead of ordering my own.
