“It is *dense* and *smooth* and not too sweet and not eggy and it is a *perfect* texture and flavor and amount of sweet”
I try to go every Saturday, for the carnitas. They are verrrry good.
I have ordered from El Molino Taqueria several times.
Their carnitas and tacos are a must try dish. The service is great and the people are friendly.
They specialize in their carnitas. For many years they have Holden the title of the carnitas Kings in Little Village.

“The food was delicious.”
The food was delicious. We had tacos and quesadillas. The tacos were very generously portioned. La carne sazonada bien rica (steak and the carnitas). Los frijoles y el arroz también bien sabrosos. Didn’t try anything else but I will next time I am in this area. Great service. Reasonable prices- not cheap- but very reasonable given the portions and taste. ❤️❤️❤️

Place is great food never fails service is awesome every lady in that place is always nice and the older cook I usually see.But today I ordered a steak burrito to go with a Jamaica and was looking forward to it but when I opened it was barbacoa 🥲 It was a real damn bummer and had to eat it at that point....😮💨 I noticed they have a new cook I think, Just give em a heads up for me to pay more attention.

“I have ordered from El Molino Taqueria several times.”
I have ordered from El Molino Taqueria several times. Their tacos al pastor and tacos con pollo are *outstanding*...SO tasty! I get my tacos with just cilantro (simply because I don't personally like raw onions. I sometimes also get crema on my tacos, and it goes REALLY well with their al pastor. Their tacos con carne asada are also nice, as is the barbacoa meat. The beans and rice are lovely. Mmmmm. The regular flan is...meh. It's a bit watery. Not bad, but not great. HOWEVER! The Flan Napolitano? It is AMAZING! It is *dense* and *smooth* and not too sweet and not eggy and it is a *perfect* texture and flavor and amount of sweet. it is FANTASTIC.
