Food & service was the best, I’m appreciating a 24 hours hard working restaurant! Carnitas tacos were my favorite & the best…

Hoy Sabado pare en El molino 7:47 2/21/26. Las meseras y los que despachan siempre muy amables y hoy el Chico que estava despachando muy grosero en su actitud. Solo sé que tiene que tener un poco de pasiencia lla que compro desde 1999 nunca ni un chico tan malcreado. Lo sinto tenia que desirlo. 😒 I stopped today and the guy gave me de carnitas he’s very rude and unprofessional I never seen a someone with a but attitude I always bought carnitas since 1999 an always waitresses and others are friendly. He’s not offering cut my cartinas and not listening what I need he gave me a lot of tripas,cueritos, buche y boronas.
