Great food at great prices This is probably my favorite mexican food restaurant due to the quality of food and the reasonable prices. Everything I have ever tasted here is very good. Their meat and salsa are both very tasty. Also they cater which is also very tasty. The service is simple but quick. If you want quality mexican food for less than $7 per person this is the place in Tucson. My wife also loves the cheap margaritas.

The Best Molinito is the best Mexican place in Tucson. You can score a huge meal for less than $6. What else can you ask for. I can almost always walk in a find a table as well.

Ones Good - Iffy on the others. Of course it depends on which one you go to, I personally prefer the one on 22nd st. Their food is delicious, the salsa is superb, and I've always received magnificent service. I have gone to the one on Wrightstown and Pantano and received dreadful service. They never refilled our drinks or salsa, the food took twice as long and when it arrived even though I'd ordered it without onions there were tons of onions and they refused to redo it or even take it off the bill.

Great food! – Myself and my co-workers got a take out lunch here today. I got the L-10 combo plate which includes Shredded beef taco, mini chimis, chile con queso, beans, rice and tortillas. Everything was excellent, but the rice was a little bit undercooked. Also, the front and back doors are not properly marked so if I wasn't with my co-worker who knew where we were going, I would've been very confused. Overall the prices are fantastic, the food is amazing, and I will definitely be going back!

disappointed iWe enjoy eating here but for the first time I was very disappointed. They brought me the wrong taco I ordered and then I found hair under my food and all the waiter said was I'am sorry I felt like not even paying the bill atleast for my meal but we paid the bill so it might be awhile before we go here again.

Can't Get Better I was taken to this restaurant 25 years ago by a colleague at Erickson Elementary when I was a Fulbright Exchange Teacher.It was my introduction to a huge part of the culture of the south west.I had the combination platter and have had that every time I have visited Tucson from the UK.My wife is equally a fan and any time we cook Mexican food at home in London we say we're having Molinitas.The food is synonymous with the whole south western experience.We will make another pilgrimage tis Easter, 2011.
