El Molinito in Rowlett is amazing. Great food. Great service. Their Gorditas are especially good here. And homemade chips and tortillas…the best. A must come if you’re in Rowlett.

1st time coming in on 7/19 with my mom to taste their Gordita's and I was very impressed by the flavor of the barbacoa con queso, and the chicharrón was AMAZING with the hand made gorditas. The chips they provide are super crunchy and crispy and the salsa is a safe but good one just needed a little more spice. There was a bit of a wait but I was happy that the atmosphere, service, and food made it all worthy it. Please be kind to the restaurant staff and give them grace because they truly work with their heart on their sleeve. I’m happy to see a real authentic Mexican restaurant.

We came to celebrate a birthday and we had a blast! The waiters were attentive and the food was so good! Everyone loved their dinner. Even the dj played the happy birthday song for us on the big screen! People in the previous reviews need to understand they JUST opened and they’re getting the flow of things. We absolutely loved it!

Normally I don’t visit places with bad reviews. However I made an exception today. I’m super glad I did. The staff was very friendly and kind. Only one lady was taking orders and serving, even though she had 6 tables she was hustling and did amazing job. Not once did I felt forgotten. Food was delicious she recommended Gordita de Chicharrón prensado en salsa verde even offered to change if I didn’t like it. I LOVED IT. Pozole was my main dish and it was absolutely mouth watering came out HOT, full of flavor and tasted like my mom made it maybe better just don’t tell her I said that. Lol This place is great. They only being open for 2 month so some of the bad reviews are understandable. P.S. this is an authentic MEXICAN FOOD RESTAURANT. Do not expect to come here and have Tex Mex experience. That won’t happen here.

This place is excellent. The food is great. The service is great. Also, the only problem is the location. I wish it was in a better location because it is hidden. Nobody really knows it’s there. We just stumbled upon it one day because we were at the CVS. I recommend this place 100%. They are going to close in December if business does not pick up and I’m sad about this because they really do have good food and it’s all about the location. Nobody knows it’s there.

If you’re looking for for great food please give this place a try the atmosphere is old style 50s look the food is very good. They do sell delicious tamales and meats by the pound. Their sweet bread is made in house and it’s better than I’ve tasted throughout Garland and Rowlett. I have looked for great quality tortillas especially flour and this place has the best. The corn tortillas are amazing as well. Again, please try this place. I guarantee you’ll be happy.
