About

Hola y Bienvenidos a The Molcajete Shop!

Here at The Molcajete Shop we are keeping the tradition alive!

In order to preserve our culture and the traditions of our ancestors we want to provide you with authentic, durable, quality made and lifelong molcajetes and metates. Throughout our history we have been cooking, mashing and grinding our food on these ancient lava rock stones. From delicious and succulent chilis and tomatoes to grinding spices and tomatillos, these handmade mortars are a staple in our culture.

They are made from artisans in the sierra of Zacatecas in a small pueblito called La Cantera. We bring them all the way from Zacatecas, an easy 16 hour long drive from the El Paso border, and then import them into the USA.
