We'll just take the bare bones here. Three of us arrived after playing Windstar on Naples Bay. We grabbed a table in the back, and received pretty quick service to get a menu and drink orders.We ordered three Corona beers and they came fairly quickly. Then all of us ordered three tacos for lunch, with two of my friends ordering french fries which looked to be fresh cut.Lunch took a very long time to arrive, and the food was not warm. I'll admit to liking traditional shredded lettuce and tomatoes on my tacos, instead I got an awful lot of cut onions and a pile of cilantro. The taste of my al pastor tacos was just so so.I'm really ambivalent about the meal I was served, thinking that the food was average and uninspired. What got me is that we were there for over an hour and never got a check, and the place was frankly dirty. A group of teens was sitting nearby and playing videos on their phones very loudly and it was an all around uninviting atmosphere. I ended up leaving cash with my friends because I couldn't wait around any longer for the tab to arrive.I've seen all the reviews from the very very positive to the very very negative. I just think it is a unappealing building, that means a little more attention to cleanliness, and the food was ordinary in my opinion.

Reasonably priced. Their food is delicious. My order was incorrect and they quickly fixed it. 9/10 will definitely be back for more.

Really good authentic Mexican dishes, I tried many different restaurants just because I like spicy food and this dishes they make her are awesome and waitresses are nice and attentive

I cannot understand how this restaurant has the ratings it has. This has to be-by far- the worst Mexican food I have ever had. I am giving it 2 stars because the service was very good. However, the food was absolutely horrible. The tacos were more like enchiladas and were tasteless. The tamale was suppose to be chicken, which had a few small pieces in the bottom. But the greatest disappointment was the Molcajetes Supreme. The presentation was beautiful with skewers of shrimp architecturally placed but there are not sufficient words to express the absolute tastelessnes and dryness of the chicken, beef and chorizo. These meats were so dry that you would need plenty of liquid to wash them down-if you chose to eat them. I was so shocked about how bad the food was based on the reviews. In fact, I know a couple of the foodies that wrote outstanding reviews. I felt as though I crossed into the twighlight zone after reading such amazing reviews and experiencing the awful food. I don't know if it is because it's a Monday or what happened. I can't imagine ever going back. I have attached pictures of the molcajete in hope that it will provide some beliefs from this review. Molcajete has its crowd-I just don't understand why.

We had a lovely time. The food was great I tried cactus for the first time! It was great! Absolutely love the street tacos. The guy cooks outside in front of you! Great place to eat authentic Mexican in Naples!

Top notch and legit Mexican fare from a small local family business. Outstanding margaritas, excellent fresh salsa and authentic Mexican food.Love this tiny East Naples spot.It was packed on Cinco De Mayo!

The service is horrible !! Not going back! Why the owner hires people with such of bad attitude ! A place with good food but bad customer service means poor management

This place is never empty. Recommended by family and it didn’t disappoint. Beware plates are huge! Best Mexican spot in Naples and I’ve experienced.

Don't come here after a hard day of work. I walk in and immediately get ignored because they think im picking up an order for delivery. After waiting a bit, i tell one of the girls i came to pick up my order. She then tell me someone had stole it .The lil tattooed girl with the attitude them immediately jumps in saying its not there fault, how is someone stealing the food I paid for not your fault? Your whole job is to make sure the right person gets the correct food. Not argue with the customer about who's fault it is, you not cute enough for that. I don't care if you're busy. Why is the food customers are waiting for sitting in the open? where anyone can do whatever they want to it! Just save your time and money and go to (Taqueria San Julian) or (La Oaxaqueña Taqueria and Grocery). BTW they are cheaper and better anyways (Just not open as late).

Delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine. Excellent service. I ordered the Molcajete El Diablado and it was amazing! Octopus, Mussels, Clams, Shrimp and white fish all in a spicy base. Ohhhh, I almost forgot - the tamales are incredible. I highly recommend this restaurant.
