  Great food, friendly atmosphere. I've had
  the California burrito, excellent. Tacos are great and they have a Wednesday taco special for $1.00. My son likes his quesadilla special made and they do a great job. Also their steak, ribeye I believe, aways comes out perfect with so much you have leftovers. Love this place, and our server is usually Chella who is always very alert for our groups with come with. Wonderful place to spend quality time with friends and chat over great inexpensive food. Kudos to the whole place. We will be back.

  My husband and I came here for a date night. We were seated promptly but it took a bit for our server to check on us. It was an extremely hot day and the restaurant was a bit warm. So we both ordered margaritas and they were fantastic. I had a frozen strawberry one and my husband had a regular one on the rocks. I too would come back for the margarita.
  
  I had grilled chicken with mushrooms and spinach. It was really good. The chicken was tender and it had a great flavor.
  
  My husband had a burrito that had shrimp, chicken and steak in it. He wasn't as impressed. He felt there was more beans and rice than anything. That being said, he did like the flavor.
  
  I would definitely come back again to give it another try. Just thinking about their yummy margarita makes me want to go back.

  I'm actually saddened by this 3 star review because this place deserves better. The food is really good and the Texas Margaritas are equally impressive but the service was simply horrible. Our server forgot our order of guacamole (which was amazing once we got it) and almost never checked on us. When he did, it was as if we were bothering him if we asked for anything at all. It's really a shame because we genuinely enjoyed our fajitas, the chips and salsa and, once again, the margaritas were awesome....and cheap! We will definitely come back again and hope for a better service experience. Assuming that happens, this place would easily get 4 stars, maybe more.
  
  UPDATE: 04/06/19 - As I said before, we came back and it was a much better experience...much! Jocelyn was our server and she was a rock star! So much better than the first guy we had, who clearly needs to find a job he likes more. And the food! I ordered the namesake menu item (El Molcajete) and it was ridiculously good. Flavor galore and SO much of it. I are leftovers for days!
  
  We're now fans of this spot for sure!!

  We went for an early dinner today.  The place was clean, quiet and not crowded. We ordered their house margarita which was really good.  We requested a spicy dip for the nachos and we got an excellent dipping sauce which was not only spicy but with lots of flavor.  Their molcajete dip was very good with shrimp and beef with lots of cheese.  Their burritos, soft beef taco and chicken enchilada were very good.  We really had a good relaxing dinner.

  We decided to give this place a try since we are longtime Suwanee residents and like to give new business a chance. Even though this particular spot has had more names than I can remember over 14 years. The only good thing about our meal was the chips and salsa.  My fajita nachos arrived at the table less than 5 minutes after ordering and nothing was fresh. Even worse, my 16oz Rita-Classic ($10.75) was 2oz of margarita mix and almost no alcohol -see picture.  The same drink at any other local restaurant would not be filled over with ice at that price. Just a very disappointing experience for our date night.  The 5 star reviews are confusing to me.
  
  Total bill was over $35 which is 2x what anyone else has stated.
