Tortilleria El Molino

The 17 Best Tacos in the Oakland, Richmond, and the East Bay | Eater SF

"Stroll past the Afghan grocery store, the hair salons, and the Mexican restaurants, and at the rear of this Concord strip mall, you’ll find what you came for: the longtime local favorite tortilleria and taqueria. Go for the melt-in-your-mouth carnitas — it’s one of their most popular — or try the tacos dorados. The freshly fried tortillas come jam-packed with ground beef, potatoes, lettuce, diced tomatoes, cotija cheese, and sluiced in fresh crema." - Lena Park

"Tortilleria el Molino has been a Concord staple for more than a decade, and it’s easy to see why. Socially-distanced fans continue to line up for Tortilleria el Molino’s homemade tortillas, meats by the pound (al pastor is a favorite) and signature dishes. The al pastor super taco is a meal in itself. The handmade tortilla supports an obscene amount of meat protein and beans. The revuelta pupusa stuffed with chicharron, beans, and cheese is thrillingly larger than most, and satisfyingly crispy, meaty, and creamy. The accompaniment of curtido (cabbage salad) is packed into a small bag, which is then thoughtfully placed inside the bag of plastic utensils and paper napkins so that it won’t get lost. Speaking of packaging, is there anything more suited to takeout than a tamale? At Tortilleria el Molino, triple protective layers of foil, parchment paper, and banana leaf insulate the tamale for the ride home. Carefully unwrapping this piping hot, savory package is its own thrill, and the wait is worth it—chunks of chicken in moist, flavorful masa. If the ride home is too long, the restaurant has a couple of picnic-style tables for outdoor dining." - Rebecca Shea
