    Watermelon margarita
    Diana K.

    Beef and green chile soup

    I asked the waiter for his recommendations for lunch and he hit two home runs. The spicy shrimp was amazing with just the right amount of heat. The beef and green chile soup was beyond words and was just what I needed on a cold, rainy afternoon. I cannot wait to return to try one of their margaritas with fresh lime and orange juice. Thank you to a great server and the chef!!

    The Most flavorful Molcajete de Mariscos ever! The sauce was perfect in every way. Not too spicy, not too sweet. Just RIGHT!

    The only reason I give it a 4 star review is because of the Seafood Molcajete. It was the best my husband and I ever had. However I give the service a 0, as they are all very indifferent. They all make you feel like you are a bother, and that are not happy to serve you. Every single one of them. We came here twice. For breakfast and Dinner. So if it won't bother you to feel ignored and a bother, then this place is for you. If the service was better, this place would be full.

    Had been craving a good molcajete, and the molcajete mixto here is delicious! Loved that it came with a sauce and the meat was not dry. The sopes are huge and so are the kids burritos lol. The service was good, the place was really clean and the overall ambiance was great. I will visit again!

    Best New Year's Day lunch at a restaurant. My first time at this restaurant, and everything was amazing. Friendly server, spacious seating, traditional Mexican design. Food is authentic Mexican. Portions are great, tortillas hand made corn, rice and beans delicious. It is a busy restaurant, but worth it.

    A pretty solid mexican spot we stopped in for dinner. The chips and salsas were really tasty, probably the best chips we've gotten at a chain like restaurant and the salsas were spicy and fresh (pico). The portions are HUGE so come hungry or share - the tortilla soup was massive. I would have liked a bit more flavor and the chicken was boiled which isn't my favorite type of chicken in a soup. We also got tacos and the enchiladas- the meet within both dishes were fantastic. I found the enchiladas a bit lack luster, I think the sauce on top could be more bold but I was still quite happy with my meal. Service was really solid, the sangria was tasty, and we would definitely come back again to try more!

    This was my first visit to this restaurant. Here are my detailed ratings and reviews. We visited as a party of two and dined in. Jamaica: The drink was quite sweet, though still enjoyable, earning an 8 out of 10. Tostadas de tinga: The order included three tostadas. To my surprise, it was really flavorful; the chicken was well-seasoned and fully loaded with toppings, scoring a 9.5 out of 10. Menudo: The broth had a rich, savory flavor and there was plenty of tender meat. However, the broth's thickness was a bit too dense for my preference. Overall, I would rate it 8.5 out of 10. Ceviche (shrimp and fish mixture): I was not particularly impressed with the ceviche. The texture didn't quite match the taste; it was bland and the lime flavor tasted like that of pre-packaged. The only positive aspect was its presentation, which was visually appealing. 2/10 My overall experience: The service was friendly and attentive. I appreciated seeing the manager actively helping out around the restaurant, which contributed positively to the atmosphere. Would I return? That depends on the drive, as it takes nearly two hours to get here.

    I had to come few times before giving my review , Since it just open few months ago and there were still a few mistakes on service but today o saw a different ambiance , Definitely a place to go to relax and enjoy good food at the same time , Customer service have grown a lot , very attentive and friendly. Tastes for everyone from tacos to nice well served dinner and specialty cocktails ( I'm a fan of the Mezcal Margaritas) And their nice wine selection from the Guerrero Fernandez Winery . Best spot table by the bar ;)

    Having gone several times to Los Molcajetes in Santa Rosa, it's exciting to have one here in Sonoma. Los Molcajetes Bar and Grill consistently exceeds our expectations. The staff is attentive, friendly, and incredibly efficient. Orders are taken promptly, and food arrives quickly. The vibrant Mexican decor creates a lively atmosphere, perfect for dates or gatherings with friends and family. They are able to coordinate small and large groups. Portions are generous, and dishes are expertly prepared. From classic favorites to more unique options, every meal has been a flavor sensation. I've enjoyed their Ceviche, Enchiladas, Milanesa de Pollo, Tacos, Chile Rellenos - you definitely have a large menu to choose from! The bartenders craft exceptional cocktails! Must-tries include: *⁠ ⁠Paloma: A refreshing tequila classic *⁠ ⁠La Catrina: A sweet and tangy delight *⁠ ⁠Michelada Clasica: A beer lover's dream, expertly mixed and prepared

    Fun place to have lunch with the girls Food was decent!! Our waitress helped us out with some recommendations on what to order! Great dish sizes here and enough to share for a big party. Good service and no wait time when i came in the afternoon. Margarita flight drinks were cute, decent, and interesting. Didnt love all of the flavors since it wasn't all sweet, but that's my own prerogative.

    10000/10. Food is delicious and fresh, service is top tier and the vibe is great. I live in Sacramento and have made 2 trips to Sonoma for this restaurant. I will continue to come!

    Best Molcajete I've ever had!! Generous portions excellent flavors, great price! Will definitely be back again.

From the outside, this place looks very small, but there is a ton of seating on the patio. Lots of covered area too, which was good because we came in the middle of a rainy week. The menu is pretty simple, but enough choices to keep everyone satisfied. You order right when you walk in and the staff was super nice and made sure we saw the specials, even though I knew immediately what I wanted. I don't mess around - when I see oysters, I'm getting oysters. I got an oyster po' boy and it was pretty good - lots of fried oysters on the sandwich and the fries were delicious. I will say though, that (and it may just be what I ordered) everything was very, very salty. I drank so much water to try to balance some of it out. For a casual place, I would definitely recommend! It does seem like it can get pretty busy during the weekend, so be prepared for that.

We ordered oysters, deviled eggs, and a ceasar salad to start, then got the steak and broccoli for a main course. I loved the oysters, steak, chimichurri that came on it, crispy potatoes, and deviled eggs. These might have actually been some of the best crispy potatoes I've ever had, they did them pretty perfectly. The Caesar salad was a little mayo heavy in some bites and anchovy heavy in others, dressing could have been mixed a little better, but it was still good for the most part and a good portion too. I was glad we got the broccoli to have another vegetable, but didn't love the sauce on it. It didn't really go with what we were eating, and just felt like it could've been rounded out a little more. We lucked out, didn't have a reservation but they had a spot for us on the outdoor patio, which ended up being the perfect spot to dine on a nice warm evening. It was quaint and felt like someone's backyard, highly recommend sitting back here when the weather is good.

I ordered a local beer and my wife struggled deciding which drink to order but chose the mezcal cocktail. We ordered shrimp cocktail and oysters to start. Only the oysters came with horseradish but I feel that the shrimp should have had some with the cocktail sauce as well. Regardless, I'd order both raw bar dishes again. For entrees my wife ordered the steak frites which she thoroughly enjoyed. I couldn't decide on what I wanted so I ordered three appetizers. The tuna tartare and burrata were great but the pork belly was out of this world. Very flavorful and a well-thought-out dish; something that I will order every time I go there. We of course ended with dessert. The strawberry rhubarb crisp was terrific as was the crème brûlée. I didn't the sorbet paired well with the crème brûlée but it was delicious on its own.

I will be thinking about the texture of this pasta + the pistachio pesto for a long time. They kept the corn pudding of the original dish at the bottom and it was such a good combination of flavors. I got chicken added on top. I got an espresso martini with gin; pretty good, just wished there was a bit more espresso flavor. Probably would order one of their house cocktails instead next time. Lastly we had the stone fruit cobbler with ice cream and a pine nut/pistachio brittle. Unlike any other cobbler I've ever had. Perfection of different textures. Also, we had the duck fat fries on another day; they were delightfully crispy and lightly seasoned with garlic. The ranch it came with was so yummy and definitely dill-forward.
