    We stopped in on a Friday afternoon with our toddler around 5:30pm, and had a great time. There were only a few other patrons there, and plenty of seating for us. We sampled all the tacos, and they were ALL delicious.

    The bathrooms were clean, the tables were clean, everyone was friendly, and we got parking right in front. We had a great experience.

    I love this company and their staff. They are very welcoming, passionate about their business, and most of all, their food that they serve to the community is top notch. This is my second day in a row coming here, I decided not to make homemade dinner but instead comeback!

    My favorite item is the #13 combination with a large spinach/pineapple aguas frescas.

    What is also really cool is their bakery right next door. My daughter loves to get a cupcake with her meal. We hit this spot before church and plan to make it a weekly thing for the two of us!

    Thank you El Molino!

    Whatever you do, make sure EDWIN makes your food. He is passionate about what he does. Look at this fantastic fish salad he made me yesterday! It's not on the menu. But I think it will start being on the menu after this post.

    The $8.49 salads actually come in a tortilla bowl. I usually ask for a regular bowl (with chips on the side). They come with your choice of meat, cut lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, beans, rice, pico de gallo, and sour cream.

    The other menu items are just as delicious. I love their taquitos and street tacos.

    Although they have an adjoining bakery (yummy tres leches), we like to end our meal with a Paletta (ice cream bar) in the same mall at Michoacána.

    Please say hi to EDWIN for me and make sure you say hello to Elizabeth at the register.

    OMGEE ... fell on this place while searching for a Panaderia, so much more here !! I'm so glad we stopped as they had fresh tortillas , Bolillos , traditional Mexican dishes like Mole , Chile verde (even tho we don't eat pork) tried their mole sauce and it was pretty damn good. We ordered a meatless Torta and it did not disappoint!! The jugos naturales we're constantly being refilled and the pan dulce was a big hit with out kiddos!! Definitely come check them out. Clean, great service and very reasonable delicious food !!

    Kind of a mixed experience here.  My wife picked up dinner one night, and we have had breakfast here once.  I don't really recall the food that my wife got to go, but I think it was ok.  Breakfast was a mixed experience.

    On the positive side, my son really liked the juice and pastries he go.  The bakery side of the business seems pretty good.  The bread is self-serve then you take it up to the register.  That makes things pretty quick.  I think I will come back for baked goods.

    On the restaurant side, things are not quite as good.  I ordered a breakfast burrito with sausage.  I asked them to hold the cheese.  The burrito was not memorable except for the fact that there was cheese on it.  Also, I had to ask for salsa because they don't have a salsa bar or salsa on the tables.  

    I also ordered a small menudo.  Again, it was not memorable.  It was just ok.

    Maybe I just got unlucky because my wife said her breakfast special was good, and my son enjoyed his breakfast tacos.  Mind you, I ate my burrito and a good portion of the menudo, so it wasn't bad, it just wasn't great.

    Service tends to be quite slow on the restaurant side.

    Maybe I'll come back to give it another try.  I want to like it, so we'll see.
