The first time I went was because of my comadre and I ordered a soup called 7 mares(i think) but it was not good at all. The other two times I loved it, I obviously didn't order the soup, instead I order the tacos, sopes, and torta. Best meals ever especially because I was with my whole family after a long day and didn't have to get home and cook. The service was the best and the ladies were super nice and patience. La verdad me encanto este lugar, he ido con mi esposo, con mi comadre, y con toda mi familia, y espero regresar otra vez. Un lugar limpio y la meseras eran buena gente, nos dejaron usar el baño aunque ya estaban cerrados(porque el carro de mi hermana se quedo ahí, y estabamos esperando la gruga, carro de remolque). read more

I was coming from Los Vegas to Tulare and me and my family went in.This was a random spot that we choose we were so excited to eat! We were starving i understand at restaurant it can take 20-30 min for your food to get here but.The waiter forgot to put in our order.We were getting ready to pay for our drink and leave! I rate the waiter service 0/10 she didn't come back to ask us if we wanted refill or more chips. The food was horrible it made me sickthe beans looks like canned beans rice was hard. I don't recommend I am not being exaggerated but save your money . mala experiencia malo servicio y mala comida read more

Not too bad of a little restaurant. Food is typically hot & good. I've never eaten inside so idk about the service here, I've always called my order in & picked it up. Pretty good. Absolutely authentic Mexican food! read more

We went here specifically for the Molcajete. The outside is a little run dow. We sat down and we're given salsa(spicy) and chips. The Molcajete is served with beans a guacamole, and we opted for the homemade corn tortillas. Overall it was good we were given 3 options for spice and choose mild, which was still very spicy. The staff served us well but were not very friendly. read more

Should be 0 stars ! I've been coming for about 10 years and seen It decline! The staff is RUDE all of them ! They are never happy to see people even if you tip ! The food used to be good but now it's always way too salty and the meat taste old and chewy, the sodas are flat .. also it doesn't matter what you ask like "no onion" or cilantro , they just get it wrong every time! My advice GO TO MAXIMOS!!!!! Anywhere but here honestly for mex food in Lindsay read more

If you haven't tried this place yet you need to, if you like molcajetes. It's hands down the best molcajete I've ever tried. From everything being homemade to the taste being on point. Just everything about this place is amazing and worth the try. I rate it a 5 out of 5 in my eyes and recommend you give it a try. read more

El Molcajete Numero 2 - Diner - Mexican Near Me - Lindsay, California

service is good. Prices are high. A glass of wine is more then a a good bottle of wine. And that's a low pour.

The outside is not something you right home about especially considering the road that leads up to it is so jacked up I feel like I'll need new suspension anytime I step foot in Lindsay. Today was our typical Sunday lunch and we decided to go here for lunch. We were greeted right away and were brought salsa and chips. The salsa had a Smokey taste with a light kick, not bad. Huge selection for a menu typical for any Mexican restaurant. We ordered a shrimp cocktiel, two carne asada plates, and a menudo. Everything came hot and looked like it did in the menu. The carne asada was flavorful, menudo was not bad at all not like my moms, but much more flavor and had lots of meat in there. My sisters shrimp cocktiel had a lot of veggies and shrimp. Overall the experience was amazing. read more

Service was the worst! Waited 1 hr after I ordered and had to go upfront to ask for my drink. People who came after me got served before me. Some people in my party never even got their food!! read more

this place has a very good food grade service great staff. My favorite is the molcajete for one person, it's a big order and is delicious. I have tried just about everything on their menu. The chimichangas are good as well. read more

My uncle brought us here for dinner our family road trip. We arrived and were immediately greeted and sat. The service was good, how ever the food was anything but excellent. My cousins carne plate came accompanied by a live cockroach and my uncles fries had an insect fly fried with the fries. When it was brought to the attention of our waiter and the manager, the entire staff seemed to have discussed the situation and then nothing happened. The food was not remade nor was there any indication that the food had been properly handled. After receiving a "new plate" all they brought was cold fries and steak. We are not from the area and wish this could have been a different type of experience as we do take an annual road trip across the country and enjoy exploring new restaurants. We will not be returning. read more

The most amazing authentic Mexican food!! The Molcajete dish is a must!! This restaurant deserves 5 big stars!! The customer service is great, very welcoming. It's definitely a place I will try again. Great experience!! read more

I am surprised to find that their restaurant doesn't cook the food fresh. I have been to many Mexican restaurants and all have fresh meat ready to cook. I ordered the chimichanga and the carne asada tasted frozen, furthermore the plate was extremely hot which shows the food was placed in the microwave for several minutes. When I went to their bathroom, I took a peek in their kitchen and the microwave predominantly next to the door where the food goes out. The only reason I'm giving the restaurant a 2 stars instead of one is due to the fact that their bathrooms are surprisingly very clean. read more

El Molcajete Numero 2 - I dent even finish the food. I took several bites and was done with it. By far the worst burrito I have ever had. - Mexican Near Me - Lindsay, California

Went this Monday for lunch with my husband very disappointed with service and food tacos were very soggy and the lettuce had a hair told the waitress and didn't even care or didn't even apologise... Never again will I eat there read more

This restaurant was a pleasant find while we were exploring the towns close to Sequoia National Park. We had been going to Sequoia for years, when we decided to explore the neighboring towns and we stopped to eat at El Molcajete #2. This Mexican restaurant's decor is nothing to wow at, but the food was spectacular! They have their most popular items up for everyone to see when you first walk in. The Micheladas are amazing! They serve them in a super cold glass that is big enough to fit at least 2 and a half beers. It comes complete with celery and a couple of shrimp to boot. Since the restaurant is named El Molcajete, we had to try their signature dish, "El Molcajete". For those that don't know, a molcajete is something that is used to make salsa or crush items. It is made out of stone and the center is somewhat like an oversized bowl. They offer single, double or triple molcajetes. We opted for the single molcajete since the serving size looked pretty generous. When the waiter came over with our order, my husband and I just sat back and looked at each other wondering how we were actually going to finish eating such a meal! The molcajete included two large servings of carne asada (steak), two huge servings of marinated grilled chicken, cactus, onions and some shrimp, all in it's own salsa. The dish comes with a side of beans and some guacamole! Oh, and the tortillas! Who could forget the tortillas! They serve hand made corn tortillas that are the size of flour tortillas! After digging in for quite a while, we realized we could not eat all of it and took a little less than half of our dish home. Keep in mind, we just shared one molcajete! Pretty amazing, and all for a great price! Overall, my experience at El Molcajete was amazing. The food was spectacular, the people were super nice and the drinks were great and cold! Definitely a must if you're around the Tulare/Visalia area or on your way to Sequoia! read more

Will never eat here again! My wife ordered menudo & did not like it. It had a funny smell. Told the owner & he basically said you can take it to go, everyone else is eating it! Did not offer any other food or take it off the bill! Very rude service! read more

Experience the best Mexican food in Lindsay and perhaps the valley. Enjoy the food and you wont break the bank.

Ordered the molcajete for 1, hubby and I always share. Fresh homemade tortillas, refried beans, fresh guacamole. The molcajete comes with carne asada, nopales (cooked cactus, acquired taste) grilled chicken, fresh cheese, cilantro, grilled onion, grilled jalapeno pepper, all served on a piping hot rock (hencw the term molcajete) over chili. Its really good and flavorful. You won't see too may "white" people in here, because food is authentic mexican and can be really spicy for some. Service is usually ok, just ok. They seeve flan for dessert, which is hemade and yummy! read more

Location is not the best but in Lindsay this is honestly the best place to sit down and enjoy with your family. The service is always friendly and timely they are clean and there food is delicious. The plate called molcajete is amazing if you are into spicy stuff. read more

Nice place, Molcajete platter was ok. Not enough chorizo, meat is nervous, homemade tortillas too thick, look like pancakes. Camarones al mojo de ajo to salty, still in shell buterfly style. Overcooked rubbery, Telapia al mojo de ajo, burnt to a crisp, meat to dry. Not enough sauce. Only on one side. Rice & Beans great! Water tastes like not filtered, straight from tap. Eeewww. Lindsay water tastes bad. Service was good. XX lager did refresh my thirst. read more

great food like omg girl. the chip salsa is freaking good as long as you dont use about half a cup of it at once, any more and you get tired of it for 3 days. but all salsa are like that. now the chips of the other hand EVERY-TIME i go they are like over cooked over cooked and super brown and i toss them out and buy a bag of chips to eat with salsa read more

Worst service ever... Walked in and all they said was to pick a spot to sit but all the tables were dirty. Found a clean table and didn't like the spot as a costumer I can decide were and were I don't want to sit. I decided to ask if I could sit in a different spot but I asked if the table could be cleaned for me as it seem the table had been dirty for a while (was dirty since I had arrived) the girl gave me attitude and said to wait a couple of minutes. 5 minutes passed and still the table was diary. When an employee passed by I asked if he could clean the table and he said if I could wait until he emptied the cart well 5 more minutes passed and the table was still dirty I felt as is I wasn't being taken serious about the table swing dirty. When the employe finally decides to clean the table he asked me to get up and move so he can clean it, that upset me can he just spray the towel and then clean the table? He was also being rude and had an attitude. I never had a bad experience like this in my life. Definitely don't know if I'll be coming back... read more

Would like to start by saying that if there was an option, I would have added no star to this review. In addition to this the SERVICE was REALLY BAD. Dirty place, and ripped seats. Didn't even know if we where to be seated since we didn't even see any waiters approaching us, we decided to look for our seats ourselves. We had to wait for a waiter to clean our table. Despite that I was determined to try the "molcajete" since I saw good reviews on this place. Then waited 50mins for our food. When up to the register to ask to speak with the manager apparently the manager is called "Ana Garcia" daughter of the owner. More like a little, youth girl unexperienced with customers who are not happy with their service. She never said I'm sorry for the delay. She did mention everything is being recorded. Like if I care. Oh she did wanted to justified that we where the last ones to order. Which is not true. If she said they where cameras then is recorded the time we enter and the time we order. In addition to this they brought wrong orders to our table and keep on waiting for my husbands plate which never came out. I notice these issues and immediately got up to confront the manager again. And she just respond it by saying "I was about to let you know, but our kitchen is now close, an they said that all the food was brought out to your table" WHICH WAS NOT TRUE. She tried to justified it by making my husbands plate after waiting more than 50mins and not even apologizing. After this I didn't even went back to sit and finished my plate. I am a very respectful person but was very upset with this situation. Conclusion I will defiantly not recommend this place to anyone unless your willing to wait those 50mins. And expect a really bad service and a rude, ignorant manager. read more

This food is gross! These people are tripping! The micheladas taste awful they use far too much club soda. The food is mediocre it made my boyfriend and I throw up an hour after eating there. The soda tastes like tap water and salt awful wouldn't recommend it. read more

Very good restaurant. Highly recommend the molcajete dish with some tacos de asada and an hotchata!

The food was not very good. The chicken and the beef were gross. The salsa was terrible. The only thing we liked was the rice and the refried beans. Neither of us ate our meals. At least it was only $26 so we didn't waste too much money. read more

Worst restaurant i have been to in a long time, i do not recommend it at all, carne asada is just boiled, camarones a la diabla is just ketchup and tapatio, the famous molcajete is drenched in a disgusting tomato sauce with spices, meat is not fully cooked. Don't waist your time and money here! read more
