Los Molcajetes
Looking for a laid-back spot to enjoy authentic Mexican food in Vallejo? You’ve got to check out Los Molcajetes. Tucked away at 901 Redwood St, this cozy neighborhood gem serves up some seriously flavorful dishes that keep locals coming back. Whether you're craving something cheesy, crunchy, or just flat-out comforting, this place delivers.
One of the standouts on the menu is their Enchiladas – rich, saucy, and always made fresh. If you're into something deep-fried and satisfying, the Chimichanga hits the spot every time. And don’t sleep on their Super Burrito—it’s exactly what it sounds like: super-sized and super delicious. For a lighter bite, the Taco Salad is a solid option, and if you're in the mood for something smoky and savory, go for the Carne Asada Taco.

Expect quick service and big portions. Definitely don't over order unless you're willing to take home lots of left overs. Flavor was good and the pickled jalapeños were a perfect touch to the nachos. Just remember nachos get soggy if you don't eat them right away. Kind service and calm ambiance. Definitely recommend for pickup orders.
THE BEST STEAK TACOS, the mix fajitas plate is another one of my favorites too! 10/10 recommend
We always enjoy the food and service here. Their sauces are very flavorful and the quantities are huge - especially the large burrito. More then enough for two or another meal at home. I think it's an old Denny's restaurant so very casual, but excellent food. Looking forward to their opening in Benicia if the city every gives them all of the permits.
This place never disappoints, such friendly and quick service. The vibe is loud and exciting, with festive music and soccer on the TV. They have plenty of indoor seating, and outside patio seating. The food is pricy, but well worth it. I got my favorite, enchiladas de cameron, the shrimp are sautéed in a spicy sauce and are cooked perfectly. I love the fact that the shrimps are cleaned properly. The rice and beans is always perfect and the chips and salsa are awesome.
I was craving Enchiladas and Tamales and I tried the combo with the rice and beans. It hit the spot! Took a couple of my friends here and they enjoyed their meal too!! Everyone was friendly! Service was fast! Place was nice and not too loud. Will definitely be back.
