" We were recommended El Molino Central and let me tell you, it lived up to the hype! The chicken mole tamales were nothing short of fantastic - the mole sauce was rich and had just the right amount of kick. The outdoor seating was a lovely added bonus as we enjoyed the warm Sonoma sun. On top of great food, we encountered amazing service. The only downside was limited indoor seating, which might be a problem on cooler days. " (*Curated Review*)

The chicken enchiladas and fish tacos we tried were packed with authentic flavors that transported me straight to Mexico. Plus, they have the best refried beans I've ever had; rich and tasty! The service was also friendly and fast, making this an enjoyable dining experience. Will return without a doubt! " (*Curated Review*)

Can't wait to bring my family next time! " (*Curated Review*)

I loved the bright and colorful ambiance of the outdoor seating as well. Service was quick and friendly; a great experience overall. I’ll certainly be back to try their breakfast menu sometime!

" El Molino Central is fantastic! I tried their fish tacos, and they were delicious with a nice crunch. Almost everything is made fresh, which you can taste. The outdoor setting is beatiful, but parking can be a problem. Service was friendly; it was a great overall experience! " (*Curated Review*)
