    I was told to visit this place when visiting the Sonoma area. The food was possibly the best Mexican food I’ve ever had, and I’ve eaten some high-quality food of this culture. You can tell everything is made from scratch, including the tortillas. The tamale was stuffed with beautifully roasted pork, simply spectacular! Absolutely fantastic experience, with wonderful people, and a very clean environment, even though you will be eating in a very casual setting. I wish this place were available near me even though we have a place called Mexican town in Metro Detroit, which has great food, but not as good as this little venue.

    I can’t believe it’s taken me this long in life to try El Molino Central. Absolutely delicious! We ordered the chicken chalupas and the mixed ceviche, so fresh and so good. Spacious patio outdoors to eat and hang in the warm weather.

    Went here after a wine tasting because our server recommended it and it was very good. Was interesting to read the Michelin Hidden Gems article on this while we waited for our food. I loved the fresh chips and salsa while we waited as well. We had the chicken enchiladas and they were wonderful, I loved the black refried beans which felt unusual but a welcomed choice

    I made one of my biannual pilgrimages to El Molina Central today. Growing up in Texas, I enjoyed some fantastic Mexican food. El Molina has spoiled me as I now compare everything to them. The chips are a perfect crunch, the guacamole is always fresh and well made, the best chile relleno still to this day (my life's goal was to find the best.. i have), tamales, enchiladas.. it is all fabulous. The people and atmosphere finish the loop. Just my favorite!

    5-star authentic Mexican foods in Sonoma. We had Chicken Mole tamales and Pork Enchiladas. Long lines and now we know the foods are superb. Very friendly service. The staff mistakenly thought it was to go. They apologized and offered us to dine in. Outdoor seating has heaters.

    Little side of the road place in Sonoma with outdoor seating. Food was absolutely amazing and definitively the best refried beans I've ever had. I went with a breakfast plate (pic) and the sauce on the chips was very tasty, but my wife's chicken mole' enchiladas was also delicious. Staff was friendly and fast, and the chef was happy to talk to my wife about his spices. Lots of local families eating here so you know it was good.

    If you have to wait for your food, it will be worth it! The ingredients are incredibly fresh and delicious. Tortillas are prepared in house I had the chicken enchiladas and a fried fish taco. Both were wonderful, the fish excellently cooked, soft chew in the tortilla, fresh salsa and creamy guacamole. The enchiladas are rich and filling with luxurious mole sauce. All good flavors

    This spot is an elevated down home spot. It had been a while since we had been here and were quickly reminded how awesome the food is here! We had the chicken enchiladas, fish tacos and the nachos. The chips are huge and full of flavor. Get the guac too!

😠 Used to come here all the time when I used to live in town. Had good prices quality and open late night. Years later Im visiting town and look forward to a burrito only for them to be almost twice the price of what they used to be. For that price you'd think you at least get a good amount of meat b...
