    I have dined in many times at Molino's Midtown. I've been here for lunch and supper. I must say this is a very clean establishment with a nice atmosphere. Doesn't matter if it's busy or slow you get great service awesome food. They take care of you in and out quickly I've eaten many things on the menu and have enjoyed each and every one of them. The staff will help you with the me he also so just ask.Great little spot to grab a quick bite and leave full and happy or sit and enjoy some down time with friends. I have taken quite a few friends here and family they always like it here and say let's go back.

    The food was good, but not the best in town. That being said, this is an excellent mexican restaurant for a cheaper dinner option. The atmosphere was a little lackluster, but was redeemed by the presentation of local artists works. Overal, I'd give this place 4 stars, because I had a great time, but in comparison to 5 star places, it's not fully up to par. Don't take that the wrong way, I will definitely consider coming here again.

    First time here. The elote is rich and creamy. Great service! I had the Yucatan style pork with charro beans and Mexican rice. This place is so delicious! I will be going back for sure!

    Molina’s is a great restaurant when you want good Mexican food. I have enjoyed eating there multiple times this past year. Every meal has been delicious. A great place to meet up with friends. There’s something for everyone.

    We had never heard of this place but it was near a walking path I wanted to try, so we gave it a shot. It's incredible! We'll be back to try more of the menu, every thing looked delicious. They have items that you don't find at every other Mexican restaurant, but also the common options, like the street tacos pictured below. Bonus: fried plantains!!

    Very tasty I ordered 2 pirata (my waitress suggestion) and they were very tasty, and very fresh. Also was surprisingly filling I was impressed with how full I was afterward! I had never had a pirata before but really enjoyed it there is a thick cheese on the bottom filled of the tortilla then packed with meat (I choose chicken) then guacamole, lettuce, sour cream, and pico de Gallo! I definitey would recommend it to anybody!

    Ordered pick up for 2. $22 ( this price doesn’t include taxes or tip) for three TINY flautas that were about the size of my ring finger, and ONE taco. Didn’t even get sides. At another authentic Mexican restaurant I often go to, I can get 20 very FILLING street tacos for $25. Will be skipping Molinos from now on. Very disappointed.

    Kind, friendly & courteous service. :) Great menu selections. Chimicchagas (both chicken and beef), were delicious and their guacamole is the best I've ever had. ☆☆☆☆☆

    We have been eating at Molinos for years. Everything I've had is delicious. But my favorite thing ever is good Carnitas. And that's the only thing I've ordered in a good 5+ years. So this review is narrow. But they have darn good Carnitas. I grew up on either the Three Color Plate or King Size Burrito at Connie's. Both with the same pork. So over the past 50 years I always come back to that. And Molinos has a wonderful version. My Mom chose Molinos for her 75th (wink) Bday dinner, and it was as good as ever. In fact, over the years, we went from all getting our own orders to now all eating thr Carnitas. The service is great. Everyone has always been kind and served with a smile. Even with us who need something more every few minutes. And I've always loved the atmosphere at the Waco location. The East side one was cool, but the food and service was never quite as good. May be why it didn't last. The extra hot sauce is amazing. And the margaritas are delicious! They put some chili seasoning or something with the salt. Very good. Plus, they let you have a margarita and a beer unlike some places. Lol. Abuelos almost called the drink cops on us for wanting a beer to wash food down with and a margarita for pure deliciousness. 🙃 Anyway. Highly recommended. Was great as always, and my Mom was happy for her choice! I sometimes daydream about that pork.

    I ordered carry out tonight and the women that helped me were just amazing. Friendly, quick and efficient and the food (as always) was amazing. Always love this place but I’m reminded why exactly every time I go. Thank you ladies for taking care of me with my order this evening.

    Delicious food, good atmosphere, nice service, and i loved the paintings on the walls. Great place to practice your Spanish skills!!!

  • 5/5 disco t. 11 months ago on Google
    Molino’s makes delicious food. But they also take really good care of their customers. So if you want legendary elote, crunchy jalapeños, tender chicken, and authentic Mexican flavors, prepared by folks who care about the community, go to Molino’s. Often 😉

  • 5/5 John L. 10 months ago on Google
    One of my go to places when I am in Wichita. Excellent authentic Mexican food. My favorite is the Enchilladas Molinos with Chicken and the Red Sauce. I have never had a bad meal here. Their soups are also very good.

  • 5/5 Sarah P. 10 months ago on Google
    My husband and I love Molino's! Their food is amazing and the owners and staff are so friendly and helpful. We had them cater our wedding; everything went smoothly and we got so many compliments on the food from our wedding guests!

  • 2/5 Jose G. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was great but the food street tacos de carnitas Too much fat on the taco and on the plate they are the worst carnitas tacos I have ever tried And the salsas no good tasteless Sell tacos and not have a good flavored salsa 👎

  • 5/5 Mel L. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been meaning to come by and try this place for awhile, and I’m so glad I did. I got the enchiladas with each kind of sauce. All of them were excellent. I not even a big fan of cheese sauce usually but loved every bite. The rice and beans were also very flavorful. Service was also exceptional, my server was very sweet. Will definitely be coming back.

    I completely forgot to take a picture of my meal, but the presentation is just as good as the food. It's probably my new favorite restaurant. Will definitely be going back and bringing others to experience it.

    If I could give a Michelin Star to a Mexican Restaurant then this would be it. This is some of the greatest food we've had. This is truly gormet Mexican food without the gormet price. Service is a little slow but I guess it takes a little longer to make the highest quality food for their guests.

    Excellent food! Piratas are especially good! It's not just a taco! Great service too. And next door to Juarez Mexican Bakery

  • 5/5 Joe S. 3 years ago on Google
    I see why this place earned Best Mexican Food in Wichita two years running. Fresh vegetables and herbs. Fresh salsa done right - just enough heat so you know it's there. Lunch nachos (huge) - chips covered in queso, guacamole, sour cream, beef, pico, plenty of cilantro that pops. The pibil is outstanding - tender, slightly spicy. Just a wonder with or without a tortilla. I had the burrito filled with mixed meat (discada). Try the elote - creamy street corn. Everyone commented that the meat was tender and you can taste each element. So much on the menu that I have to try. And factor in the different meats and you'll always have a new dish. Looking forward to the barbacoa and the green pozole (Wednesday). Great friendly staff, keeps your drinks filled.

    Consistent Traditional Mexican Quisine. This locally owned restaurants brims with flavorful beans seasoned rice and velvety cheese sauce as far as the eye can see. I am keen on the Molino burrito which allows you charge over the selection of protein or vegetarian. It's a generously portioned flour burrito stuffed with rice beans and meat and smothered in your choice of their delicious sauce red, green, or white cheese queso.

    So good. Elote is the best I've tasted in Wichita! Enchiladas were good as well. Cute lil spot. Will definitely be back.

  • 1/5 Whitney F. 1 year ago on Google
    At one time I frequented this place often with a dear friend. Tried to share the experience with me son from outof town and was told to please hold..... the woman put the phone on the counter apparently and for 18minutes(so far. Yes, I'm still on hold waiting to place a $60+order...... that I'm now placing with Abuelos) listening to the employees laughing in the background . If I could have recorded and played it here I would have. It was very unprofessional and quite frankly, rude.

  • 4/5 Fabiola A. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been eating here for at least 3 weeks , we are so happy with the food and servers they have. The manager is very kind and the other ladies and the guy there have very good customers service skills. I had the best service until my server was the owner, she told me if I do not like a lot beef juice in my Piratas , not to order that next time???? I always ask for taking off a little bit of the beef juice from the Piratas because I feel comfortable like that eating this amazing food, any server did not hesitate to do that for us , just her. Thats why I’ll give 4 stars and not 5.
