Great
The food flavor, texture and presentation are great. Portions are very large.
The waiters are helpful and can answer questions about the menu. Plates are cleared away quickly and I have never felt rushed.
The restaurant is clean and has a distinctive style.
Patrons that frequent the restaurant are clever locals that are pleasant and welcoming.
You get a good deal for the price and I highly recommend it.
It is a great place to go with a group. In my experience, reservations are not needed except holidays    [14 Dec 2002 00:36:58]

Ironbound quality at neighborhood prices
Read about this restaurant here and decided to try it. BLOWN AWAY... Truly - Newark quality Spanish food at incredibly reasonable prices.

Sangria was fresh and delicious, Paella Madiera - wonderful. Guests enjoyed the Lemon and Garlic Shrimp - huge, tasty and cooked perfectly. Even the desserts ordered (which we normally don't) were a taste treat.

We fed 5 people for JUST OVER $100. Great Value!!! AND... The service was impeccable. Highly recommend Los Molinos - Try it, you'll be pleasantly suprised.    [26 Nov 2003 12:16:18]

Go to the Ironboud
Tried it when it first opened. Instantly turned off by the fact that the "non-smoking section" was in the same room (no partitions) as the smoking section. As far as I'm concerned, that means no non-smoking section. When I requested that a diner next to me in the "non-smoking section" put out his cigarette, I was met with resistance by the customer, and a smirk from the waiter when I complained. Wasn't impressed with the food since I was comparing it to the restaurants in the Ironbound section in Newark. Smaller portions, bad service.

Decided to give it another chance recently. Still got the "non-smoking section" joke going on, and the food and the service were the same as when I first ate there.

Go to Newark! The train station is three blocks away from Portuguese/Spanish food heaven.    [28 Nov 2004 02:01:36]

This place is awful
This place is nothing like the reviews. The waitress was rude and appeared to be upset at something. The food was plain and overpriced. We ended up paying almost $50 per person and left the place feeling ripped off. It was on a Friday night at 8 pm, and there were hardly any people there. After dining in the restraunt we understood why.    [22 Feb 2005 15:32:18]

A Meal from a Box
I recently ate at Los Molinos expecting, what else, a Spanish-style meal. What a disappointment! In Spain, the food is fresh, the staff is courteous, and the wine is fantastic. At Los Molinos, the staff was rude and unfriendly, my vegetable paella was straight from a box of prepared rice and frozen veggies, and they had no wine list. They had two kinds of wine, they said: yes, red and white. The prices, however, were as high as those in a good restaurant, which this is definitely not. What a rip off!    [29 Mar 2005 20:16:22]

Has gone downhill
When this restaurant first opened, it was wonderful. A recent visit, however, yielded horrible food and indifferent service. The mariscada was fishy and bland, and other dishes were poorly prepared. Too bad, this is a loss.    [20 Feb 2006 10:39:14]
