If you go here thinking high end, you will be disappointed. If you go here thinking amazing Mexican food, you have come to the right place. Food is authentic Mexican, atmosphere is authentic and the service was well done.

Authentic dishes served without extra fluff and with love from heart of the kitchen and staff. Crave the Mole.

Excellent Mexican food (Oaxacan) in a small location. Dining is outside and there is limited parking, but possibly the best food I have had in the US. We had mole chicken and fish tacos and both were amazing. Take the time to stop here for a meal.

This place is a must try if in the Sonoma area. It’s all super fresh and delicious. We got the chicken tacos, halibut tostadas, and sweet potato enchiladas. The portions are pretty significant - we didn’t even come close to finishing the 3 dishes between 2 of us!

For the cooler fall weather, suggest a dish with mole poblano. Read about Patricia Quintana, whose recipe is used, before you go.
Most of the seating is outdoors on picnic tables; some under cover.

This place has great reviews but from the outside it looks like an average spot - but the reviews are right. This place has some of the best food we had during our trip to the area. I highly recommend the carnitas tacos!

El Molina Central is a Michelin rated restaurant in Sonoma valley. Very close to the Fairmont inn Mission and Spa. It is a small place with seating in the back.
We tried the Chicken Enchiladas Suizas and the Pork and chicken Tamales. All the dishes tasted very fresh and had used great quality ingredients. Not overly cheesy or greasy. Perfect start to our day. We picked this place because it was in the direction we were going....and I am so glad we did or we would have missed this wonderful gem.
