    El Molcajete is a new Mexican restaurant in the former location of Etzel's and, more recently, Back Road BBQ. We happened upon the restaurant when passing by last week and decided to give it a try. Firstly, this is NOT a Tex-Mex or any other kind of "fusion" restaurant. El Molcajete serves traditional Mexican food, and it's pretty darn good. The restaurant is bare bones. When you walk in you immediately get the feeling of what you are in for, a no-frills experience and authentic food. Perfect. We tried all four varieties of tacos as well as the chicken burrito and chicken enchiladas verdes. The tacos were great. They were on good tortillas and served with plenty of lime, cilantro and radishes. The fillings were a bit dry in my opinion, but the flavor was great. I would expect the fillings to improve over the next weeks as the restaurant starts to get a feeling for its expected daily crowds and popular dishes. The chicken was excellent, in both the burrito and the enchiladas verdes. The verde sauce was also great, and I asked for a dish to have with the tacos. The sauce was a bit spicier than other verde sauces that I have tasted ... fine with me! The flavor was excellent. I plan to be back for sure.

    I've been a huge fan of Blue Fish Grill for around 15 years--since they were at their previous…read morelocation. The food here is to-die for, and is certainly one of the best restaurants in the area. I have friends who visit from out of town who specifically request to go to Blue Fish during their stay! The prices are great for the quality of the food. I always opt for the build-your-own entree. This time, I chose the brisket with a side of the caramelized plantains, but I also often go with the chicken, steak, or salmon with the pesto butter. No matter what you order, you can't go wrong. The staff are very kind and the service is quick. The interior is modern and up-to-date, paralleled by its brick historic vibe exterior, as the Stangl Factory building was once a pottery/ceramic factory. Now, the building is home to Blue Fish Grill, as well as a number of other businesses including an artist-owned gallery, a large pottery studio, a medium, and a yoga and physical therapy studio. Stangl also hosts a weekly artisan farmers' market and bi-monthly live music and art events. It really is a growing creative community. Blue Fish Grill doesn't have a bar, but they do allow BYOB. If you find yourself in the Flemington area, be sure to grab a bite at Blue Fish! It will surely be a meal to remember.

    One of my favorite spots to eat in my hometown of Flemington. Their food is amazing. And even…read moreknow they have switched their name up a bit, they still have the vast majority of the menu from when it was Blue Fish Grill. Great service that comes quicker than expected as well. Blue Fish certainly earns their 5 star review.
