El Molino Central - Sonoma, California

Delicious, satisfying, and authentic Mexican dishes from a colorful counter service restaurant with spacious outdoor seating. Reasonably priced meals and even better value from the take home to cook options. The chicken mole was so rich and deep in flavor that you'll want to lick the plate clean. The pork tamales were also amazing and would definitely get again. Parking fills up fast on a busy day, so get here reasonably early. Very dog-friendly.

Fish tacos were very decent (full of veg and guac, freshly fried fish, very soft taco) but it was the tamales and the enchiladas that were 🧑🏻‍🍳💋 we got them to go and heated them up in the oven! I wish they could have given mole on the side for the chicken tamales though! Portions were generous.

Had excellent chicken suiza enchiladas with refried black beans with a little cotija cheese, sour cream, cheese and spicy pickles (carrot, cauliflower and jalapeño). Absolutely loved it! We ate outside at a picnic table by the parking lot. Great Mexican food at very affordable prices. Special shout out to their excellent salsa.

Note about service: we ordered 2 orders of the enchiladas right after each other and the second order took an additional 15 min. Not sure why that happened.

Amazing handmade tortillas. Ordered the fish tacos which were huge and had generous servings of fish, and the mole chicken enchiladas which were stuffed full of juicy chicken. The mole was a little too sweet for me, but I’d come back. Next time I’d really want to order the Al pastor tacos and enchiladas suiza with green sauce and the butternut squash and a tamale. And chips and guac. Great value for the quality and flavor of the food, especially in this area.

Parking is indeed difficult with scant street parking, but there’s a sign that says you can park by Parsons. They have one bathroom in the kitchen.

The food is authentic, insanely delicious and some of, if not THE best Mexican food I’ve had in California. We got the pozole that was so nostalgic and fitting for the chilly weather, and the tostada with crema and salsa made it over the top. Also ordered the enchiladas suizas, perfection, down to the pickled veggies on the side. I’m so picky with mole, it’s so hit or miss, but the mole enchiladas are SO good. We sat on the covered patio with heaters, and they’re dog friendly. 11/10

Amazing experience. I couldn’t decide between two dishes, and the cashier was so kind to provide 1/2 of each dish for me. Both dishes were delicious - the mom’s special tamale (mole sauce was incredible) and the Swiss chard enchilada was great and hearty. Love the sauces and the generous portions. The pickled sides was a great touch. Fast service and comfortable outdoors. Could be one of the best Mexican meals I’ve had in a while!

Just the absolute best. I can’t recommend anything in particular because everything was so amazing. Basically just order anything and it will be delicious. Pro tip: you can get big affordable margs at the place across the street to enjoy with your food.
