El Molcajete Numero 2

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!

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.

Decided to try this place again, food was not great. Didn’t have an flavor and the burger my little girl got didn’t taste like anything. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to come here.

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 jalapeño 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!

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

Good food! Good price! Awesome corn tortillas!

The original El Molcajete was located in Greenfield, CA (Monterrey area) but it burned down in an accidental fire. The newer location definitely has better décor, although nothing amazing. But who cares… The food is BOMB! Well I’ve only tried their signature dish which the restaurant is named after but still. Delicious! Far better than any molcajete I’ve had elsewhere. Too bad I live so far and rarely get to go. But both food and service get my thumbs up.

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 décor 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!
