TESTIMONIALS
"El Molcajete is a true gem in Shelbyville. The food was outstanding, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. The service was exceptional, friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family, not just another table. It’s definitely a restaurant you’ll want to come back to again and again."
-Tyler Flaspoehler
"If you’re looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, this is the place to go! I recommend it, the food is amazing and delicious, the service is great, and the owner is very polite."
-Momax Motors
"The tacos here are fantastic. They are real legit Mexican style which is an amazing feat considering this is Kentucky. If you are a fat Kentucky native looking for Tex Mex you will be disappointed. If you have traveled the outside of Kentucky in your lifetime and know what real Mexican is like you will be happy here!"
