The drinks were good. Bartender was not engaging and was on phone for most of the time. 3 different infused tequilas on the bar I may have tried if asked but no conversation at all. Not sure we will be back even though we live up the block. Food was good and the cooks in kitchen were on point!!
El Quetzal uses blue curaçao in the pineapple rainbow simulating the namesakes plumage. The Molkajete comes with soft, lightly sweet, corn tortillas, beans, rice, pico de gallo and their chipotle-ish and cilantro-ish sauces. The "Chocolate Mousse" is a beautifully airbrushed pink white mousse with chocolate and cherries, reminiscent of Black Forest cake-a spin on tradition.
La verdad que Molkajete me encantó. La comida está riquísima, con un sabor casero que se nota un montón. Todo súper bien hecho, con ese toque entre peruano y mexicano que queda espectacular. El sitio es acogedor, el ambiente muy agradable y la atención de diez. Da gusto comer en lugares así, donde todo sale bien y te vas contenta. ¡Volveré seguro! 🌮🇵🇪🇲🇽
I really wanted to like Molkajete Restaurant and Bar, but unfortunately my experience was disappointing from start to finish. I ordered via Uber Eats and reached out to the restaurant privately to share my concerns before posting publicly, but I never received a response or any acknowledgment.
My lomo saltado was extremely disappointing — it arrived without the fries or potatoes, was overly sweet, and was cooked well-done even though I specifically requested medium. It was honestly inedible and I ended up throwing it away.
The ceviche was just okay, but it was poorly packed — the plantains were placed in the same container, leaving them soggy. The few that weren’t soggy tasted stale.
The only positive part of my order was the sangria, which was very good.
Overall, I was truly disappointed by both the food quality and the lack of response from the restaurant. I won’t be ordering from here again.
I would call this restaurant a hidden spot of neighborhood, I discovered this place by accident as I stayed at the hotel nearby, ordered chicken soup through Uber eats deals, it was super delicious, large portion and in addition came with a plate of yellow rice. The restaurant looked fancy inside, but had affordable prices and wide choice of drinks, my server was friendly, definitely will be back
The restaurant is small and cozy, offering an intimate dining space. However, the service left much to be desired — the server appeared disengaged and unwelcoming. The atmosphere was also underwhelming, with background music that felt out of place and almost too dull, making it difficult to enjoy the setting.
On a positive note, the food was delicious. We ordered the Jalea for two, Ceviche and the Leche de Tigre, which were flavorful and well-prepared. That said, I found the prices to be on the higher side. In particular, one alcoholic drink was $17–18, which feels excessive for Brooklyn, especially when many restaurants in the area serve comparable drinks for under $15.
Overall, it was a new experience for us, and while the food impressed, the lackluster service, uninspiring ambiance, and high prices make it unlikely that I would return.
