16 Best Mexican Restaurants in San Rafael

“Well, I discovered this small place in the heart of San Rafael and pffff I fell in love with the cuisine that led me to remember my mother's food in my beautiful Mexico. I'm sure I'll come back to try more of the menu but today I tried some carnitas and asada picaditas and their super tasty horchata water, I fell in love with this little place“

“It was really good, great prices and kid friendly“

“Best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to so far in the US.“

“Best Mexican food I've had in a long time!“

“Seriously, best burrito in North Marin. Repeating this post because 1) Facebook asked me to write a formal review and 2) it's too empty when I've gone and I want people to keep them in business!“

“I ordered the macho burrito with steak and black beans. As soon as I got a few bites into it, I realized there is a reason this restaurant has been here for decades. It was delicious and packed with meat. The salsa which came with our chips was also fresh and tasty. As good as the burrito was, it paled in comparison to the service we received. "Leo" is an energetic and hospitable worker and we later found out that he is the owner. What a genuinely nice person! We will definitely make this a regular stop when we're in the neighborhood. Actually, we'll go out of our way to come here as well!“

“Lively large space with comfy booths.Loved the shared salsa fridge with large squeeze bottled you can bring to your table so you don't have to fill up and waste plastic cups.Good pickled veggies.Generous portions.I had tacos carne asada. Rice snd beans.Look forward to going back.Kid-friendliness: Families will be comfortable.“

“I got the Carne Asada “Deluxe” burrito for $15. Burritos be getting pricey everywhere honestly but local joint beats a Chipotle, for me.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ overall taste, was very delicious and it was pretty big, it had a fair portion of meat but wish it had more. The flavors were balanced and savory but it lacked in spice for someone who really enjoys spicy (and it was extra spicy they said).For me it beats something like Chipotle in flavor and price. There’s a 10% discount if you are a local student in the area.“

“Great atmosphere, decent food, good beverages, nice staff, super slow service.“

“I loved it. Great Mexican food. Miss this in Hawaii“

“When I went there, they had no lines and the churros were only $2.84 for 3 churros. They were very kind to me and quick to serve. I was craving for churros and started searching. Lo and behold, there is a churro restaurant just exclusively churros set aside sandwiches and smoothies but now I know there is a churro place when I am craving for churrosParking: Good luck finding a place to park as their parking lot is a shared lot.“

“Wanted to try the quesabirria & birria tacos. We were not disappointed! Will go back and want to try the mole buffet on weekends“

“La mejor cochinita que he probado, unos ricos panuchos de Cochinita“

“I wanted to give this place 5 stars. The service was great when I came in they greeted me and the order went fast and the food came out fast. But the carne asada tacos weren’t as good as the place I usually go to. The meat wasn’t seasoned very well and it just had onions and very little cilantro on each. They didn’t add much to the meat in each taco, and each taco is pretty small. The atmosphere, specifically the music, is really good. However if I were to come here again I would probably spend a little more and get an entree plate or burrito or something a bit bigger and more filling, now that I know the tacos are on the small side.“

“I dgaf about ambiance in a Mexican restaurant. Not part of the category. Looks like a hole in the wall, but its got places to sit and they play mariachi. The food is really good. So far I've only had burritos and a bite of a taco. I am a huge HUGE fan of their pastor super burrito. The pastor is awesome. The chicken was still really good but less good (imo) comparatively, but that's probably because it's not as fatty & delicious. The taco was a chicken taco and it was well done, too. Pretty basic in terms of primary ingredients, but the chicken is marinated well. They don't try to be anything but what they're supposed to be. But they do it well. Best burrito in San Rafael if you're looking for what the kids call Mexican food.“

“The food and the service is really good, I highly recommend this place , the food taste like if it was made at home, when I usually go to a restaurant I order always the same because I'm afraid I won't like other dishes but here everyone I had order it's tasty and have to come back for a different dish since I can't eat it all , the staff is very friendly!! I totally recommended“
