Reviews for La Ideal Molino
Review highlights
Based on 243 reviewsLa Ideal Molino is widely recognized for its authentic and flavorful Mexican breakfast and lunch offerings, with particular praise for dishes like barbacoa, tamales, menudo, and huevos rancheros. Customers appreciate the generous portion sizes at affordable prices, complemented by a friendly and bilingual staff. The restaurant’s fast and accurate service, especially for takeout orders, adds to its appeal. While seating can be limited during peak morning hours due to its popularity, patrons value the cozy and quiet atmosphere. The absence of fountain drinks in favor of canned and bottled beverages is noted but does not detract from the overall positive dining experience.
Nice quiet place. Good food. The barbacoa is on point.
1.50 breakfast tacos (before 12) and affordable lunch and breakfast plates. Everything is so flavorful and they give you a decent sized taco for the price. The staff are friendly and speak both English and Spanish. No fountain drinks, only cans and bottles, but they're affordable. The place is packed some mornings so seating is limited, but just goes to show how good it is :) Love love love this place, look no further for good food
Placed an order over the phone, picked it up 15 minutes later. Fast, accurate and DELICIOUS!
