El Molino de Oro is a brilliant restaurant with an ample dining room and fantastic food. I'll admit, perhaps regrettably, that the quality of food is not as good as it once was, but it remains one of...

Don't get me wrong, I love family owned hole-in-the-walls as much (if not, more) than the next Yelper.. However, I hate to bring bad news, but El Molino De Oro is nothing like it used to be about five...

Everyone in my family who live in South OC rely on this place to provide the food for parties and get-togethers. They have a spicy chicken entree that's the stuff dreams are made of, although I can't...

There are a lot of places in San Juan to get authentic Mexican Food, but this is one of my favorites, and its conveniently located in the heart of downtown.

5 stars for a little hole in the wall? To quote Meg Ryan from her scene in Katz's Deli, "Yes! Yes! Yes!" Then to be followed with one of the classic lines of cinema: "I'll have what she's having."I...

Chili Relleno: 5 stars. This is the way they should be made. This ties with Amapola in Blythe for the best chile relleno in Ca. There is actually a chili inside. The whole thing, not just a piece. And...

My job sent me down to SJC for the weekend and while wandering around on my lunch break I saw someone eating what looked like the most delicious mexican food. Not one to bother people, I kept...

AL PASTOR - my biggest weakness. I just can't say no. Some of my fondest memories in Mexico was eating el pastor tacos straight off the rotisserie with spicy condiments. Beers and el pastor - does...

El Molino De Oro is a tasty little restaurant. I just love their chicken and fresh mexican pastries. It is noisy, however, so I stick to De Oro for lunch time.

I pretty much lived on the Mexican food this place puts out while I was in high school. There are three basic adjectives in describing good food while a student (high school or otherwise)- cheap,...

This small, family-run restaurant has some of the best mexican food in orange county. The nachos are probably their best item but the carne asade burrito is pretty tasty as well. Whenever I have...

I would have never visited here if it had not been the field trip bus that took us here for a stop. The place looks VERY Mexican! I mean there is a full out panaderia (Mexican bake shop) and what...

This is my first review on Yelp so I want to be conservative and give El Molino 4 out of 5 stars, reserving 5 stars for someplace I have yet to discover, maybe where they give the food away for free,...

I enjoy authentic Mexican food, and this is one of the better places in the area. In the past few years they have remodeled to clean up the resaurant and add a whole section of tables so you can actually sit...

El Molino de Oro, since its makeover, is now more appealing to those 'gringos' who are used to the fast-food look. But don't be disappointed by a more mainstream look, they still have the BEST menudo ever (Sat...

In an area known for great Mexican food, this small place (with a constant line out the door) might be the best in the world. Just solid all around.
