The food and drinks are delicious and the servers are nice. They have a new dessert which isn't on the menu yet: fried ice cream. It is a big scoop of vanilla ice cream covered in batter and fried. They drizzled some chocolate on it after frying it. It was delicious, and the breading tasted like a donut😋. We also got an appetizer of super nachos, which were delicious as well. I got some quesabirria tacos, which surprisingly didn't have much cheese, despite being named after cheese (queso)?🤨 They had a lot of beef though, and were really delicious, especially with the birria, lime, and veggies on the side. The salsa they came with was too spicy for me, though. The quesabirria plate didn't come with rice and beans, so I had to order some on the side. They were really good, though. I also got some agua de piña, which was delicious. They also have agua de jamaica and horchata. The chairs are really big. They have cushions, so they are comfy. The tables are nice. Most of the food came on plates with pictues on them, which was nice. The chips and salsa at the beginning came with red salsa, green salsa, and a brown dip that tasted like beans and meat, maybe bacon? It was really good.
This is one the worst Mexican food restaurants I have ever gone too. I have rated over 30 up down the state. The refried beans were very watered down and not sure if there were any beans in it. The enchilada was a thick short toquito with watered down, bland sauce. I had no sour cream or guacamole. My chile relleno was bland just an egg taste couldn't ever taste the chili. The salsa was their best attribute. I would have tried the pineapple dish but the didn't offer it in chicken. The staff was friendly and restaurant clean and chairs were very uncomfy especially for plus sized patrons. Don't try this one!!!
Has the greatest food and service in town. Truly an amazing experience worth the money. Ate the food quicker than I remembered to take pics. Sorry.
El Molcajete is a great spot for authentic Mexican food in Ukiah. The restaurant is clean, welcoming, and beautifully decorated with vibrant colors and comfortable tables that blend traditional Mexican elements with a modern, cozy feel. One thing that really stands out is how busy it is with Latino guests — always a good sign that the food is truly authentic and well-made. I was welcomed with fresh chips and salsa, along with avocado salsa, red salsa, and beans — everything was flavorful and delicious. I also tried the octopus tostada and ceviche, which were fresh, well-seasoned, and very enjoyable. The highlight of the meal was their famous molcajete. It came sizzling and full of flavor, with a generous mix of meats, chicken, cactus, onions, and beans, all served in a traditional Mexican molcajete. Absolutely delicious and perfect for sharing. They also offer options with just chicken or shrimp, which is a nice touch. Service was mostly good. My server was friendly, though a bit distracted at times. Cristian stepped in to check on me and made sure everything was okay, which I appreciated. Overall, El Molcajete offers great food, authentic flavors, and a lively atmosphere. Definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re craving real Mexican cuisine in Ukiah.
Excellent service and some really great Mexican food. Everything from the salsa and chips to the main dishes were tasty. Highly recommend chili relleno, the burritos and the kids menu has a quesadilla my son loves. The new location has a lot of charm, check it out!
