El Molcajete Sauces

Chef Ernesto Rodriguez, El Molcajete Sauces

El Molcajete Sauces was created in 2017 by Chef Ernesto Rodriguez in San Francisco, CA. Having recently relocated to Chicago two years ago, he claims it has been an amazing journey as the seasons inspire him. Ernesto creates sauces that represent his home of Oaxaca, Mexico. Oaxaca is known for their mole sauces and is often called "The Land of the Seven Moles."

While growing up, all of his meals revolved around the sauces that his family prepared, so he now loves to create the sauces that are close to his heart and represent his childhood.

El Molcajete Sauces offers four different varieties of mole sauces:  a roast tomatillo sauce, a chili oil, and homemade organic tortilla chips. All of their products are vegan, gluten-free, and 100% natural. The sauces are very versatile. You can cook and simmer with them or simply add them to cooked proteins or veggies. Ernesto believes, having started off in the restaurant industry, bringing high quality and authentic sauces can help anyone elevate a meal and make you feel like you are in Oaxaca making dinner with his abuela!
