ABOVE: A pair of tacos at Los Molcajetes.
LOS MOLCAJETES: 211 LIBERTY SQUARE, NORWALK
3/2/2010
After photographing John Barricelli of SoNo Baking Company for a story on his upcoming cookbook release, I cruised over to Los Molcajetes for a couple of tacos.
I was recently tipped off to the possibility of hand-made tortillas here and had to see for myself. Word on the street was that you are served the tortillas with the larger plates but not necessarily with the tacos, so I had to take preemptive measures.
“You make your own tortillas?” I ask, gesturing to the wooden tortilla press in the back of the kitchen.
And let me tell you, they make all the difference.
I generally hit up Los Portales grocery down the street for all of my taco needs in Norwalk, but Los Molcajetes should not be missed.
They have a really decent space and a warm and friendly staff, a perfect place to relax and enjoy an early lunch, I will definitely be back soon.

I’m a huge fan. Been only a few times, but really enjoy their food and atmosphere.
