Los Molcajetes Bar & Grill brings authentic Mexican flavors to the heart of Sonoma County, combining traditional recipes with fresh, local ingredients that reflect the region’s agricultural abundance. This family-owned establishment has earned a loyal following among locals and wine country visitors alike, offering a refreshing alternative to the typical tourist dining scene with genuine hospitality and time-honored cooking techniques.

The kitchen excels at ceviches made with daily-caught fish, while their extensive selection of tacos ranges from carnitas to grilled mahi-mahi, all accompanied by house-made salsas with varying heat levels.

The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between festive and intimate, with warm terra cotta walls adorned with colorful Mexican artwork and soft lighting that creates an inviting ambiance. The full bar specializes in craft margaritas and traditional Mexican cocktails, featuring premium tequilas and mezcals that pair beautifully with the bold flavors of the cuisine. Whether you’re seated at the lively bar or in the comfortable dining room, the energy is welcoming and unpretentious.
