Molcajete - Calgary, Alberta

Great fast food locale. Food tasted amazing. Staff are fast and friendly. Lots of activity, many patrons for all the small eateries.

I decided to have an early dinner here yesterday, and the "red headed Mexican" who works there suggested trying the fish tacos. It sounded like a good option, so I went with it. Wow, she was bang on with her recommendation - the fish was seasoned/salted beautifully and the added ... sauces, lettuce and even lime squeeze all made for a very tasty and satisfying meal! I haven't enjoyed fish tasting that great in awhile. Molcajete's continues to impress me with all of their great food! I've enjoyed the authentic Mexican and Latino foods here for several years. Everything from the tortilla chips and pazole to the large variety of salsas and the freshly made watermelon juice tastes awesome! It's also a super place for a variety of various salsas, from totally mild all the way up to 11 pepper rated hot, and believe me: it IS hot!! Lillian, the owner, always make sure you get terrific Spanish eats here! I often recommend Molcajete's to others. Read more

I was so disappointed today with the poor quality of the salsa verde. I haven’t been here for several months, and I used to enjoy their fresh salsa verde so much, but this time it is almost flavourless and the consistency is just off. Worst of all- I bought TWO ... containers. Read more

We got 6 tacos, chips and guac. Best tasting chips. Each component was done so nicely I loved the texture of the tortilla and each filling was amazing. Nothing was super dry or too oily. The spices were delicious and I loved the meat options. The staff were very friendly ... and didn't mind taking their time explaining each menu item. I'm so glad I tried this place it makes me look forward to weekends at the market :) Read more

Love the authenticity behind this mexican place and all at a reasonable (calgary) price. Fresh food and made to order. They also own the shop across that is all about their handmade tortilla chips and a wide variety of sauces from simple salsa to super spicy. Well worth eating here. ... Flavours arent too strong but it tastes simple and home-like. Read more
