Need a replacement Tejolote? Your molcajetes don't need to be neglected because you don't have a tejolote (pestle). MexGrocer.com comes to your rescue with high quality hand stone pestles to complement your molcajetes.

Tejolote pronounced [the-hoh-LOH-the] also known as temolote o telmalchin, is the matching hand-held grinding tool also made of the same volcanic rock or basalt material than the Molcajete. Tejolote or Texolotl derives from the Nahuatl Tetl (Stone) y Xocotl (Grind or pulverize); It's a heavy, oval shaped rock used to grind and pulverize peppers, onions, tomatoes and spices into thick purees and salsas in a molcajete. The Ancient Aztecs made their molcajetes out of ceramic instead of stone, and used to grind grains, herbs, and other food substances as well as medicines.

Great to find limited replacements for molcajetes

January 15, 2022

Thanks to you I found a replacement for a molcajete we've had for many, many years, just needed the tejolote (pestle) part since ours got lost due to being very small from use during the years, Thanks!!!

I don't know how I managed to lose mine. My mom had given me her molcajete and somewhere along the lines I lost my tejolote and couldn't use my molcajete for years. I just could not find a replacement with buying a whole new molcajete. I am so happy to finally have found a replacement and it is perfect!

Extra tejolote

February 1, 2018

It a tejolote. It's nice and heavy. I didn't need this, but I purchased it anyway. I didn't want to risk ever being without one. I know how much use my molcajete is going to get and felt a back up plan was in order. Once I get the seasoning done, my family is going to want salsa all the time. I learned a long time ago to always be prepared. :)

Pros

Different rock so a totally different feel.
Nice to have a variety and see which one I like the best.

Great tejolote replacement

December 17, 2014

The size of the piedra is pretty large for smaller hands but just right for gripping with your whole hand using different leverage. I replaced a smaller rock that was hard on the fingers but this one allows you to grip with the whole palm of your hand. The weight is also perfect for grinding the spices thoroughly and more quickly. I found that I didn't have to pound the molcajete as hard to get the same results. I recommend it if you're having to do a lot of comino and ajo for tamales or for larger portions of arroz!
