A very fun experience with excellent food and great service in a casual enclosed patio. Mexican music, sombreros birthday celebration and very delicious and authentic Mexican food. The chicken enchiladas Verde were really delicious with medium heat. Steak fajitas too. The flauta appetizer looked like the photo and tasted great.

Thursdays nunca más. According to the menu, today was Karaoke night until 8:45 p.m. So, we made a reservation at 8:30 p.m. However, the singer stayed until 10 p.m., making our dinner unpleasant. It was extremely loud, and hearing the person next to me was almost impossible. The food and the team are always excellent!
Molkagtez Mexican CuisineResponded on 7 October 2024
Hi Martin, Sorry if you were misinformed but Karaoke is all night till 10 pm. We do hope you visit us again on another night.
