Get the large or medium to-go (I actually like to take this away more than getting it in the restaurant, it's presented beautifully and feels like the portion size is bigger in the to-go box

Restaurant Los Molcajetes — neighborhood mexican in Albany Park. The atmosphere is half the draw here. Drink selection punches above its weight, and cash only. [$, patio]

☀️Patio — a Albany Park classic in summer.
💵Cash only — hit the ATM first, worth it.

Chill spot to pop in for some tacos & more. Caution with the hot sauce, it may have you in tears.

They served me a $16 plate that was enough for 3 people, I couldn’t finish it, and the flavor was so good. I ate 2 more times at home and I was full, both times. Definitely going back, I regret not going there before💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥💯

Great mariscos restaurant! Food and drink were very good. Only complaint was it was very loud music but to be expected I suppose.

Please check your receipt/bill in detail before paying. They charged me for 4 tacos (only got 3) and a completely different dish than I ordered..
