At Tortelleria El Molino in Lafayette, the kitchen makes fresh flour and corn tortillas in-house every day. This commitment to preparing everything from scratch and using top quality ingredients has been part of owner Santiago Morales’ vision for El Molino from day one. That’s what has given this place a reputation for serving some of the most authentic Mexican food in the Bay Area.

Standout menu items, according to regulars, include the carne asada burrito, the carnitas tacos, and the tortas al pastor. It’s a small thing, but the beverages also extend beyond the typical Jarritos that you’d find at a casual taqueria. Here, you can get fresh carrot or beet juice, horchata, and agua de tamarindo, as well as bionoicos for dessert. Planning a big event? El Molino also offers extensive catering options (party trays, buffet orders, or full taco bar setups) that can feed hundreds of guests. See the website for more details.
