El Molcajete Grill - Passaic

It sucks to get recommendations for a place that is supposed to be good, that has somehow good reviews… then go there for the first time, get served with food that is garnished so it seems to be good, taste just ok, but gets you sick with vomit and diarrhea… so disappointed!Perhaps stale food? or a pair of dirty hands/utensils for handling/preparing food not clean?!I would only like to share my experience and suggest to anyone that goes to this restaurant to make sure the food is fresh and taste right!I’ll write an update and comment on how badly sick I get… as of now I have pretty bad stomach discomfort nausea and diarrhea if I get seriously sick… I’ll definitely contact management! To whom I ask they should use hygienic ways of preparing the food they serve and as well as serving only fresh food!

Came here today after work . I looked inside they were not that busy so I figured I would get my food fast. I ordered three items from the menu. I had to repeat my order several times to the server. I pointed and read word by word from the menu what I wanted yet she still asked the same questions over and over. I was going to get tacos but she didn't have 3 of the meats i wanted and then explained to me that although the sign said 10.50 an order each individual taco was 4.00 .i left and came back 20-25 min later only tofind the server asking me what kind of meat I wanted for my order. Unbelievable!!! I asked if it was going to take longer she said 2 minutes. My husband paid and 5 minutes later we finally were leaving . As we were to go to our car ,someone came running out only to let us know they packed the wrong order !! I was hesitant and told the server to leave i didn't care at that point but she insisted she needed the order as it was for another customer. The only review I gave 2 starts with as the food . It was not bad but not worht giving it another Chance.

Good but a little pricey as compared to my other favorite Mexican Restaurants.

The reviews that you see past 2 months ago are from the old restaurant that was at this same location. New restaurant is El Molcajete Grill!! Keep that in mind when you see old reviews.

Fish was horrible, it was not cleaned, it took almost 2 hours. i would not recommend this place to my worst enemy
