Good food, good drinks and good service. We went on a Friday night and it was not too chaotic feeling. It felt welcoming and relaxed. They did have a dinner rush but still wasn't overwhelmingly busy feeling. The food did take a bit on the longer side but I promise it is worth the wait. We had the ribeye aguachile and quesabirria tacos. The only suggestion I have is the quesabirrias to be made with a different brand of tortillas if it's not their own. They're a bit thicker and once crisped they can have a tug bite on them. Wish the aguachile ribeye had a side of something to justify the price as it doesn't come with rice, beans or anything else. Besides that definitely recommend and will come back. read more

I really don't enjoy leaving a negative review for a young chef or someone trying to build a business. I genuinely hope they take this as constructive criticism, because there's potential here, and I'd much rather see a small business improve and succeed. I ordered the Burrito Ahogado with asada, and there were definitely some positives. Unlike several places we've visited in Bishop, you can actually come in, sit down, and order at your table, which I appreciated. The wet sauce had good flavor, and the rice itself was actually very tasty. Now for the problem: I ordered an asada burrito, but I'm pretty sure the rice ordered an asada garnish. The burrito seemed to be about 90% rice. For nearly $23, I expected the asada to have a starring role--not a brief cameo. I found myself digging through the burrito like I was on an archaeological expedition looking for carne asada. Every time I found a tiny piece, I felt like I should yell, "WE GOT ONE!" Unfortunately, the few pieces I did find were cut into very small squares and had very little flavor. I grew up in a family that made a lot of carne asada, so my personal preference is well-seasoned meat with some char on the outside while staying juicy inside. This was very different. I understand every chef has their own style, and I'm definitely not saying my family's way is the only way to make asada. But if I'm paying almost $23 for an asada burrito, I shouldn't need a search party to locate the asada. That said, I don't like tearing down people who are putting themselves out there and trying to build something. The sauce was good, the rice had flavor--maybe a little too much representation --and I do think there's potential here. I genuinely hope they keep working at it. Give that meat some seasoning, some char, and a much bigger role in the burrito, and this could be a completely different review. Until then, the rice is definitely the employee of the month. read more

We happened upon this gem by accident. We were heading home on our road trip and wanted to stop and get a sit down meal instead of fast food and boy are we glad we did. I had the three Carne Asada fusion tacos and my husband had the Camarones el Diablo and both were so good. The tacos were full of flavor with juicy steak, tomatoes, lettuce and cream Fresa. The shrimp were large, plump and tender with a side salad and rice. The shrimp were very spicy which but flavorful. There is a full bar and the margaritas are made to order. There's also a juice bar. It was more than a fast food meal but worth every penny when you want a fresh sit down meal. read more

It's a bit pricey ngl. Flavor is good. The restaurant is spacious with lots of sitting. The molcajete takes 20min from order to table. read more

Ok, so first, If I could afford it I would eat here every week. The molcajetes are incredible! The presentation is outstanding! The price is high, but it is a specialty food. For a birthday party we ordered 3 for 7 people and ate every bit! But today, we tried the Tuesday street taco lunch specials, a non-menu item. $2 each for carne asada, shredded beef, chicken and chorizo. $3 each for shrimp and fish. We decided to get 2 of each to share between 4 people. They were amazing! Our total bill before tip was $45 which included a coke and two iced teas. The service is always great! They also serve great Margaritas, but we're not drinking st lunch. Please give this place a try if you are looking for a culinary experience! read more

Molcajetes Steak and Seafood - 2 of each flavor of street taco lunch specials for Tuesday ONLY! - Steakhouses Near Me - Bishop, California

This place deserves every bit of these 5 stars. We were in town two nights and ate here both nights. Ribeye aqua and deep fried fish plate were not only delicious but unique. This menu is one that can be explored, you can tell there is a lot of time and effort that has gone into to it. Staff were extremely kind both nights and let someone in our group who arrived late order even after closing. It's worth the stop! read more

Hello, my first time in since I was staying in Bishop for the night, so I stopped by for dinner and ordered the salad and the shredded beef street tacos! Very good and the right amount of food! The chips were good except for the salsa it needed a little bit more zip for me, but that is okay! This place has character and would be a great place to have a lot of friends and family to hang out with for dinner! Plus, it was nice and enjoyable for a Wednesday night and the waitress was kind and had my food out to me as soon as I ordered! So all is good so next time I'm driving through Bishop I'll stop for some really good street tacos!! Thank you! Julie read more

We came to the restaurant at a normal hour around 7:30pm and nobody was at the host stand for 30 minutes and then it took another 30 minutes for the waitress to get our order and then it took another hour for the food to start coming out. I had 3 kids who were all super hungry by the end. Not coming back again service is awful read more

The salsa and chips are not tasty at all, the salsa super liquify but I didn't want that to determine our order. We order the cocktail of shrimp and octopus and a plate of chile relleno with rice and beans . The octopus was extremely bad! Not edible at all! Hard! Something was very wrong with this seafood! Like if I was pulling a piece of rubber! They really shouldn't be selling seafood! The rice was horrible! I know this is a small town but the quality of their food is horrible! I very gently mention to the waitress about my concerns of the food and she said she would let the "chef" know and came back and said they couldn't do anything about it and all they could do was give me couple shrimps if I wanted, I said no thank you! They still charge me full price . Never ever again this place! They really don't deserve not even one star! read more

Date of visit: Sunday March 29, 2026 (dinnertime) Would I go again: Probably not. Pros: Tacos were "interesting" according to my brother-in-law. My mole con pollo was OK. Non-alcoholic beers are available. Interior suggests some effort to make the ambiance a little fancy on a budget (it's a compliment!). Server was friendly. Cons: Portion sizes are small (only a drumstick and a tiny thigh), and the prices are rather steep. My mole plate included no green veggies, just white rice...not even sliced white onions on the mole (which is traditional). read more

Just passing by through the city and wanted quick bite. Ok my shrimp tacos were delicious. Stop by if you are in Bishop. Good luck to this place ! read more

Molcajetes was recommended by the hotel clerk, where I was staying, on a trip through Bishop, Ca. I'm thinking...taco, enchilada, beans and rice, my go-to combo. That is not this place!! An interesting, provocative menu captures my immediate attention. I decide on the wet burrito, while my friends order green enchiladas and the Chili Rellenos. The flavors in my burrito are so complex and delicious....better than any other burrito I've ever had. Sophisticated even. The pottery tumblers, used to hold beverages, are elegant and fun! My friends were equally enthusiastic about their meals. The staff were all very nice and the service was prompt. We arrived shortly before closing time and they were more than happy to accommodate us. They never rushed us and actually encouraged us to linger, enjoy our meals and have a second margarita. A great place to stop on Highway 395! read more

Plenty of seating, booths, tables, two love seats for mingling, + a 9 seat bar and low bar for anyone needing to stay seated. The food is delicious and the service excellent. Must be one of the best places to eat in Bishop, this place is hard to beat! read more

The best chilli rellenos in town, very small bit spicy at all but they are hand made and seeds taken out. Wish the poblano. Chili was smoked or cooked a bit longer. Chicken fingers are decent. Service was slow and our waiter who is Salvadorean was not very attentive. The woman here was much friendlier and offered more attentive service. Horchata is authentic Mexican with lots of cinnamon like traditional Mexican Horchata. Coffee was good and overall good food for a great value. I would definitely stop by again when I'm in Bishop, CA . usually stop here in our way to Lake Tahoe or Reno Nevada. Affordable and plenty if tables always available.u read more

Honest review. First time here visiting from out of town. Firstly the ambience could be a little better but doesn't put you off. The server was friendly and brought drinks quickly. I ordered the ribeye The wait is a little long and we're only 2 other people here. The salsa is amazing. Sweet in beginning then spicy after but not burn your mouth. Writing this while here. Still waiting for main dish. Ok steak was cooked good but very salty. Now I don't eat salt and it's subjective but this was salty. Would I come again? Probably but now know to have cause on side and not over steak. Overall 7/10. Wait staff were awesome and when I told them it was salty they did tell chef. Flan for dessert. Home made and was excellent read more

Very clean and Great service. amazing tasting food! Best part is that they serve Pepsi!!

Stayed in Bishop for a couple days, looked forward to having dinner there after looking restaurants up on Yelp app it said this place was open. We took a hike down to restaurant to find a closed sign on the door! VERY DISAPPOINTING! So I only give one star because there is no 0's read more

I stopped for dinner early in the evening so it wasn't too busy, the service was excellent. I ordered the bacon wrapped jalapeño's appetizer, they had just the right amount of heat, not too spicy but good jalapeño flavor, filled with cheese and wrapped in bacon, they were cooked perfectly. I had the King molcajete, shrimp, prawns, assorted seafood and mixed veggies, peppers and roasted onions. All served in a hot molcajete and topped with a rich cheese sauce. It was very filling and full of flavor. The molcajete keeps everything hot the whole time. I was just visiting Bishop for the day for work and will definitely return on my next visit, there's a lot more menu I'd like to try. Louis was my server and was very attentive. read more

Would not recommend. We went on a Saturday for lunch. Took more than an hour for the food to come out. The salsa was so bad and was a warning for the food to come. Food was tasteless or tasted like cleaning products. Not good at all. I got the protein bowl and nothing about it was good. Bland is the best descriptor. Service was also slow, to order, to get drinks, to get chips and salsa. Maybe we went on a bad day bit the restaurant was empty for a reason. It was also so so hot in the restaurant. The AC wasn't on in the eating area but was on in the back hallway near the restrooms. Save yourself time and bad food. Eat elsewhere. It was also insanely expensive. $40 a plate for sub par food. I got a lunch special for $20. No one got sick from the food or this would have been one star. read more

Food is absolutely delicious! It was so good that we ate here twice. We ordered the molcajete guacamole, tacos, fajitas and margaritas. All the dishes we ordered were served on a sizzling plate, beautifully plated and bursting with flavor. The margaritas were served on a salt rimmed glass and on the rocks (our preference) and they were absolutely refreshing specially after a long day's hike. The ambiance was fantastic, and the spacious dining area with its high ceilings provided me with a sense of comfort, especially considering the recent increase in COVID cases. We sat on a booth which was very comfortable. Service was excellent. Grace (I think, that's her name) served us the first day and Cesar served us the following day. They were both great, responsive and Grace checked on us regularly. We opted for take out the next day since we wanted to enjoy our balcony with a view in our hotel. I forgot my sunglasses and luckily, they kept it for me. Not only are they excellent staff but also honest and patient. Lots of parking! I absolutely recommend this place. read more

If you are looking for a large variety of Mexican food, don't come here. If you are craving some amazing Molcajetes Seafood, you better hurry that bum before they sell out... Just kidding, even if it's not on the menu, just ask, they were very nice and made wonderful food. Some items were only available on specific weekend days but they made it We had a male waiter and he was very nice and got every right for us, we made him hustle for sure! Yet he was very pleasant to the end, which was kinda past closing time. Everything was taste, but all of our steaks were over cooked, we ordered medium and they came out well, so if you get red meat and like it more pinkish...might want to ask for rare side. Oddly, the had the best water ever! Seriously the best we have ever had from any cup from any restaurant! How in the world is that??? No idea, but everyone in our party commented on how clear, and clean crisp tasting it was. It was super oddly weird, it was as if they triple osmosis filtered their water and added in some addictive. You guys all try it and share what you think is in their water! read more

I hope this doesn't remove my original post, but because it was so good and it was gone too soon, I went back again and got pictures too! Family run business and the husband is an amazing chef. The wife runs the front and the sons have a bomb pizza place in the corner that I ordered the next day. Hands down best molcajete you will ever have and it was huge. I take a stop at bishop and sleep there just to be able to have this before we head up. Imagine that, taking an extra day on a trip because of how good the flavors were. Thanks! You guys are amazing! read more

Fourth of July 2024 at 7:00pm in the small town of Bishop, and we're hungry for dinner. Not much is open. This town closes up early. We walk to Molcajetes Steak and Seafood. There's nobody taking names on a list at the door. There's just a crowd waiting to be seated. There are only three servers seating, taking orders, serving, and clearing, working hard. It's a holiday weeknight before a holiday weekend. We wait 45 minutes to be seated. The crowd stays on the honor system, pointing out who is first and next to the hardworking servers. Most of us stand because there's limited seating to wait. We order the Molcajetes A La Mexicana, with asada, jumbo prawns, panela cheese, chicken, chorizo, nopales, and onions. We get rice and beans with it. The molcajetes are the best and most sumptuous molcajetes I've ever had, in a sauce so delicious you have to savor it with your eyes closed. The asada is tender. The prawns are fresh. The chicken is flavorful. The cheese is perfection on a plate. The beans are melty with cheese, and the rice is hot and savory. Everyone is happy and in a good mood. Fireworks go off in the sky as we walk back to our hotel. Bishop, California is a small town with the best molcajetes anywhere to be found. read more

Great food I would go back again the service was great they were pretty quick i got the staeak

Fantastic. Very good Mexican food. I usually drive through bishop on my way to my families house for the holidays and this is a great spot for lunch and dinner for Mexican food. Total recommend! read more

The atmosphere has more of a sterile, industrial feel--not particularly warm or inviting. Our server didn't seem to care whether we were there or not - lack of eye contact/didn't greet us. Not really an issue just an observation. Unfortunately, the house margaritas tasted more like a "skinny" version--light and not very flavorful. I wasn't sure if they were made with actual tequila; while the menu lists tequila in the descriptions, there's a note elsewhere stating that all cocktails are made with "spirits," which was a little confusing. I'd recommend confirming what's in your drink before ordering. We didn't think of it until later :/ The salsa verde served with the chips was extremely watery and lacked flavor. As for the fajitas, they were fine--no charring, swimming in liquid, and the flavor was just okay. Comes with two larger tortillas if ordering flour. Overall, I wouldn't return. Looking forward to checking out the other multitude of Mexican food establishments in the area. read more

Visited here during Bishop Cragging Classic climbing festival. It was reasonably empty when we were done climbing at 4pm (great). Quick and very courteous service, huge huge appetizers. Interesting selection of food, really enjoyed the bacon-wrapped jalapeños.

This was our second visit to Molcajete's. Just as awesome as the first time that we went . On this trip, I had the Octopus molcajete, for one person, and my wife had the birria tacos. We also had a couple of cocktails and some wine. The Cuba libre cocktail was ok, I've just never had one with a salt rim. The mojito however was awesome. Louis makes a great drink. The octopus molcajete was fantastic !! Perfectly cooked and with a great sauce! So much food that we could have easily shared the dish. The birria tacos were fantastic as well. 3 tacos with birria, cheese, and a great consumé. All in all, another great meal at Molcajetes !!! read more

Waiter screwed up our order then blamed it on us having a "bad" day. We ordered a Chile reliano on the side just to try it so or Waiter brought that instead of the main dish that my wife ordered. Not only did she not get her main dish the reliano was cold. Not his fault though we were just having a bad day. Also their green sauce dip for the chips isn't worth eating. Maybe the cook was having a bad day read more

You guys: handmade tortillas!!! Honestly, this is my favorite spot in Bishop right now (sorry, Burger Barn!). I cannot even underscore enough how great of an experience this was! Quality ingredients + unique dishes are the name of the game here. My partner got the chile relleno Molcajete, and like others have said, it's definitely enough to share between two people. He said it was cheesy and the spices were just right. There he didn't even feel he was missing out on meat (which is a lot for him ha!). I got the carne asada plate, and as you can see, it is huge! I can't decide my favorite thing about the plate, but I'm gonna have to go with the handmade tortillas! It takes a lot of effort to make those, so the fact that they do speaks to their commitment to quality. A close second is the delicious guacamole. Drool!!! The portions were huge! The margaritas were boommmb and the beer selection was really nice. Our server, Graciela, was so wonderful. She was I formative and gave us the background on the restaurant. They really do want to make something unique and pour a lot of effort into it. You will not be disappointed with your visit! read more

Stopped by this place on our way to Mammoth and I'm so glad we did! The food, staff and overall ambience was great. We walked in and we were immediately greeted by our server and seated promptly. The interior is so adorable and well decorated. We came in during the lunch hour so we enjoyed their lunch specials offered til 3pm. I ordered the "cowboy burrito" and my boyfriend had the "carne asada on the grill plate" & both were extremely yummy! The burrito was a big size and super flavorful. Each bite had the right portion of carne asada, rice, beans & pico de gallo; which I'd also like to mention was really tasty. The carne asada plate is served with rice and beans and is absolutely delicious. Would definitely come here again. read more
