“Very good..................“

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

“Great clean place, the people were very friendly and the food was amazing.“

“Halibut tacos, margaritas, birria tacos - to die for! Caveat, I’m a white boy from San Diego, but their tacos got me - almost cried! They get busy because of the location but they’re good with discounting the bill if service is slow. Halibut tacos are a must! Order two and order nothing else, they’re huge! Ask for margarita with light or no ice :)“

“Good atmosphere Great food and service“

“I came with my family here, very clean place, clean restroom, clean everything, good food. Fast service, but please ladies from the front (customer service) smile, you take care of the customer like robots, next, thank you , next, thank you next. I was looking at every single person that was receiving their orders to make sure that chips are given to some odres or to every order. We order two burritos, one pupusa and twelve tacos. We did not received chips at all. I saw people that purchase tacos , receiving their chips, this wasn’t my case. No one gave us our chips😟“

“This is a family run place with outdoor seating. The food is quick, fresh and tasty. Women members of the family are nicer than the men, who can be clueless and unhelpful. Sometimes the meat is recooked in the crispy tacos which are otherwise my favorite. The flautas are also fresh and good as are the refried pinto beans.I like this casual place a lot—you can buy Russian River Brew next door at Raymnond’s excellent pizza place and sit in the sun with the locals.“

“Very nice restaurant with plenty of room for indoor/outdoor gatherings. The food and service was excellent. I will be returning soon! 😊“

“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!“

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

“Great food, service and atmosphere!!!“

“Food is amazing, authentic and just all around a great deal! This is the first place I've found here in Cali that puts hominy in their menudo like my hometown does! Their tamales are huge and their burritos STUFFED! highly recommend! Just heads up, when they ask if you want salsa, they mean Pico de Gallo. They call their actual salsa hot sauce!“

“Fantastic artisan food. Handmade corn tortillas & quesadillas made from organic corn ground daily in house. Farmers Market ingredients & sustainably sourced proteins. Local new chef/owner & partner are committed to building a community hub around food made with LOVE!“

“This place was so cute and tasted amazing! We came to visit Tiburon for the first time and came across this cute spot. The staff/ owners were so sweet and helpful. The ceviche and arroz con leche were 5/5. I would definitely come back when we’re in the area. 10/10 spot!“

“It was super busy the other night and getting seated inside took a bit, but oh man! Super tasty, as always, and tried the chicken Torta, which was the best I have had.“

“Went here for a somewhat large family gathering. While not the best Mexican food I've ever had the quality was good. Every one in the group seemed to enjoy their meals and my steak burrito hit the spot. Margaritas were pretty good too. Staff were friendly and attentive.
I would suggest you guys take orders at the table like a normal restaurant instead of making us go up to the front desk and order. I get that you are probably short staffed but getting our group of over 10 people to the front of the restaurant and ordered took way longer than was necessary, and we ended up making other customers wait while we got everything sorted.
While I don't mind paying for my meal before I eat it, if you are paying with a credit card it means you have to tip before receiving service, which just seems backwards to me (a tip should be a thank you).
Would go back again.“

“Good food, good service, and an excellent value. I've been going to this place for over 20 years and the staff know me very well. The salsa bar and fresh chips have always been a nice perk that set its apart from other places which have come and gone. It's always busy around lunchtime and parking lot can packed but they get orders out quickly. I usually get my food to go but dining in is a pretty comfortable experience. They've steadily upgraded the interior over the years and recently got all new tables/chairs.“

“This is my new go to place when I am in the San Rafael area. #1 Fantastic food #2 plenty of free parking #3 Beautiful outdoor dining experience #4 Fantastic staff that aim to please #5 Amazing, to die for, mammas hand made bread pudding desert. I will return again many many times.“

“My family and I have been going to El Sol since 1984. The food is excellent, reasonable, large selection, quantity and the staff are so friendly, it’s like one big family. Their enchilada sauce is my favorite!“

“Visiting from Adelaide Australia best Mexican we have had. Great service.“

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

“They're refried beans are the best most authentic homemade beans you can find.
Get the burrito.
You won't be disappointed.
Also their homemade salsa is always fresh and delicious.. it tastes freshly made every day. The workers are very efficient and friendly..“

“Always outstanding Food & Service we going to this place for over 15 years :-)“

“The food was served Hot and Fresh and the serving was very generous! I ordered the Steak and Nopal and my girlfriend ordered the Tacos Birria. We chose to eat outside and they had Vicente Fernandez playing on the speaker, We both rate it 5 stars! Gracias ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Perfect for a larger group. Jordan, the manager, was super helpful and accommodating. We sat at the patio, which was perfect on a warmer evening. We could speak without yelling and listen to one another easily. Alejandra, our waitress, was respectful, helpful, and patient with our larger group. The food was yummy and they have a fantastic selection of Mezcal. I can't recommend it enough!“

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

“My favorite taqueria in Marin at the level of SF and Oakland/Berkeley taquerias. Their super seafood burrito is awesome 🌯
Really good nachos, really good grilled fish tacos. I just had their fajita burrito for the first time and loved it. Nice selection of beers on tap too at reasonable prices.“

“la comida es deliciosa, tienen muy buenos precios y el lugar es espectacular......los baños están súper limpios y decorados ..... la gente del servicio es muy amable, realmente lo recomiendo !!“

“Excellent food and always high quality. This is one of my favorite places to order from!“

“I grew up in San Jose and spent several years in Oakland. After moving to Marin, I got tired of driving back to the East Bay on a regular quest for Mexican and Central American food that’s actually eaten by the people who grew up with it.

We ordered cheese pupusas and plantains with beans and crema. I asked if they could add fresh jalapeños to the pupusas, and they happily agreed without any attitude. The staff was genuinely welcoming and kind.

The pupusa masa was outstanding. I want another one today. Light, tender, and flavorful. Easily my new favorite pupusa masa anywhere. There was enough cheese but not so much that it's overwhelming. PLENTY of jalepeno. The curtido was a bit wilted, and the sauce wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but they neither took away from how good the pupusas themselves were and I finished all of it. I’ll absolutely be back.

The plantains were perfectly ripened, sliced into rounds, and deep fried so they had a slight crust. Soft inside, crisp outside. Truly heavenly.

Atmosphere isn’t really applicable here, and that’s not a knock. This is a low-cost eatery with paper napkins. The space was clean and roomy, the music was at a reasonable volume, the staff were welcoming, accommodating, and friendly, and they had a clean bathroom. No complaints.

I’m excited to come back and work my way through the rest of the menu, if I can stay away from the pupusa and plantains.“

“Been eating at Celia's for over 30 years. It's been a few years, but went there recently and it was still awesome. The food has never changed, simple but delicious. And one thing the staff has worked there forever, they are friendly and always welcoming. 😁😋“

“absolutely the best tamales I have ever had at a restaurant. I'd swear they were home made if I hadn't ordered them myself... super find!!! I'll never order from anywhere else again.“

“After dropping off the Winghavers Barleyhoot to Gilligan Wormwood out at his ranch, the Wicked Minnow, I headed straight to the Taqueria Mi Familia for one of their famously amazing quesadillas!
Simple yet complex in flavors, the ingredients meld together perfectly.
5 stars all day long. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Best food superb service quality mix with authentic flavors“

“Recomiendo este negocio para cualquier evento. Un sabor único, las personas muy amables y responsables. La comida está bien sabrosa.“

“visiting from Portland and trying to dine local. This place was clean, prompt service and the food was so fresh and delicious. Looks like a place lots of locals come, always good. Good dog watching.“

“The best in the neighborhood! Affordable, fresh, delicious Mexican food. The tacos are great and the seafood dishes are awesome. Highly recommended.“

“Had just arrived in San Francisco, and hit the road heading to Sonoma for a wedding this weekend. Looking for a place to have lunch and we found Avatars on line. So, we decided to try it, and we are glad we did. Our meals were cooked fresh to order and they were delicious! Friendly staff and a place we will fondly remember and look forward to trying again on our next trip out here!!“

“The chicken is good sometime dry , I come often today was the same family meal, the only decent side was beans the rest mash potato and Mac and cheese was half full, was not busy day but I don’t know very disappointed!!! When I opened at home !!!!“

“Our school came here for an after event dinner and it was served family style as we had it planned. The food was great and plenty of seating for everyone. Overall, excellent service! Would recommend for large groups and family style sharing.“

“Great Experience... I been looking for a good chili relleno... found it here.definitely going to visit again soon.

Wheelchair accessibility: Adequate... operator will come and hold door if required... with a great big smile and welcome“

“I had the best experience here. I would say this is the best Mexican food I’ve had in Marin county.

I ordered the tostadas and they were perfect and crispy. My fiancé ordered the Quesabirria tacos and they were super flavorful. The rice & beans were cooked well and the rice was very moist. I would also recommend the watermelon Margarita.

Highly recommend this place if you are looking for delicious Mexican food.“

“muy rico rapido servicio 😀“

“I’ve only been a customer here for about six months, but I have probably been a dozen times so far. The food is really healthy and doesn’t ever feel heavy, and they have a great variety of options, both sweet and savory. I love that there are both older people and younger parents with kids alike. Very pleasant staff, too!“

“This place has been a community bedrock for 20+ years. Always here for us. During covid lock downs, they set up their own food pantry (with the fridge getting electricity from the shop).

Churros are always a hit. Good coffee.
Come and enjoy.“

“Great place to eat. Not being from around the area, we stumbled on this location as we were wrapping up our evening. The food was fresh and delicious, the portions were very generous, pricing was reasonable for the amount of food, the workers were kind and helpful, and all in all a great place to eat.“

“I came here because the San Francisco Chronicle listed it as one of the best 10 tamales in the bay area. I was not disappointed. It’s not traditional corn masa tamales from Mexico, but rather rice or potato masa tamales. The sauces are wonderful the meat is tender, and the tamales melt in your mouth. The nice lady behind the counter was very helpful in helping me make my choices. I bought six different tamales to take home. I’ll be back.“
