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 catering I have had El Molinito cater several events at work. They have always been on time, and the price includes set up, forks, plates, napkins, etc. The food is tasty and the price is very reasonable. Thumbs up.

A Tucson Tradition and Great Food/Good Prices! – Somplace between a "dive" and a great "local joint" is El Molinito. I've been going here since I was 3 years old ... the family has expanded and now has multiple locations, a tortillaria, and catering arms of the business. Sometimes, you'll wait in line. Sometimes the order taker or the waitress/er will be chatting with a regular, or someone (like me) who has been coming for YEARS ... you'll wait - they don't want to be rude to us! But they love you too! Sometimes you'll wait ... read more

Bad service – We were in line to order,and the cashier kept talking to the person in front of us after she already ordered. My wife went to the restroom,and when she came back, the talking still was on so we just walked out.

Great place for a party! The back patio of the Wrightstown/Pantano location is great for a party. We had 200 people, a band (they have a great elevated bandstand) and great food at an affordable price. What fun!

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.

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.
