El Molcajete Mexican grill

We were skeptical at first. The parking lot was empty. It was very quiet when we walked in. I noticed the lovely decor right away. We were seated and we asked to move. No problem. Then we asked to move again. Still no problem. Our waiter, Bravo, was so helpful and knowledgeable. He offered suggestions, staff favorites, customer favorites, and when I told him how I preferred my guacamole "extra limey" to my surprise, that's exactly what I got! It was a wonderful experience. The food was excellent. Even my grumpy old hubby was pleased and commented on how good his food was. That's huge! So, thank you for a wonderful evening out!

Everything was fresh and fast and quite delicious! Portions were very generous! It is decorated nicely and very clean. Looking forward to going back next time we're in ottawa!

Great service & food. I have to say I wasn't expecting to hear country music overhead in a Mexican restaurant. I had ordered the Hawaiian fajita but when I spoke to the waiter I had asked to leave off the pineapple. That was dumb request on my part, but thankfully the waiter didn't understand what I had asked for. When the meal came I realize the pineapple was the star of this plate! Ooops...super tasty thought.

I hadn't been here for quite some time. I did really like the food & atmosphere! But the service was pretty ridiculous. They did have a sign on the door saying they were hiring, so hopefully that had something to do with it.

The restaurant looks very nice and is beautifully decorated. The chips and salsa were the best part of the meal. The food was below average for a Mexican restaurant and was only liked by one person in our party. Unfortunately this restaurant was not for me.
