“ This is a great Mexican restaurant. I had two deliveries since the first of the year and I must say, this will be my go-to spot in Duncan. The asada tacos, combo (steak/chicken) fajita, nachos and cheese dip are all freshly made and incredibly seasoned. I wish I had taken pictures but the aroma had me quickly tasting the food. El Molcajete staff... thank you! ”
“ We love a good hole in the wall off the the highway. This spot had the best chicken soup! We will be back! ”
“ I’ve ate Mexican food all over this country and this was by far the best I’ve ever had! The margaritas were so good, not loaded down with sour mix which is hard to find now days, the guacamole was so fresh and the best, I had street tacos and they were on point, my husband had a burrito that was the size of Texas and cooked to perfection. My picky eating daughter went outside of her comfort zone and ordered a kids menu cheeseburger and it had cheese oozing off all sides. 100 % recommend, we will be back! ”
“ Carnitas dinner literally melts in your mouth! I got the pollo chipotle which was delicious as well - Victor, our server, was the BEST! Amazing service ”
“ My family and I love this place. We are regulars because the food is consistently good and our favorite waitress is always there. Friendly staff! I always get the delicious combo fajitas (steak and chicken) that are perfectly cooked with vibrant peppers and onions. Carne asada tacos are fantastic also. Cheese dip is amazing and their chips and salsa always hit with a variety of spice options available. 10/10 recommend. ”
“ Very kind and professional people.. the food is excellent ”
“ Good Mexican restaurant, but could use some remodeling. Everything is really outdated, but that really doesn’t matter when you get the best service and food. Came to get some caldo de camaron and it was delicious. Not only that, but the service was really good. I’m not sure who all was my actual server because I had 3 people checking on me, but Victor was my favorite person. It’s people like Victor in places like this that makes people come back. Very nice, very attentive. I’m a truck driver who was passing through, and just talking Victor made me miss my family because that’s how welcoming he made me feel there. Overall, if you’re looking for good food and nice people, this is your place. Keep up the great hospitality guys. ”
“ It was a great experience. Place was cool they catch the vibe. Food was tasty. Especially meat was very traditional I felt like in Mexico. Servers were friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend this place. They have parking no worries ”
