I drove past this place a million times but never stopped - my mistake!!

It’s HUGE, has great food, great service, and tons of menu options. This is my new favorite restaurant in Marin. VERY impressed.

I got a 3 item combo with beef taco, chicken taco, and cheese enchilada - all were great. The rice was excellent, the refried beans were the only part of the meal that were sort of mediocre, but not bad, just not great like everything else.

One of my favorite restaurants in Marin. Incredibly consistent for 30+ years. The worst part about this place is the parking lot is too small. The best part is everything else.

Parking: Not enough spots for the businesses in the complex, and not much street parking in most directions.

We stopped by here after a long day of hiking. Just had a beer with chips, salsa and guacamole only. We sat outside (we were a bit dirty from the hike) but it was a nice atmosphere. Can't really critique the food since we didn't consume much but staff very friendly and the salsa & quac was yummy. We definitely made a note to return there when we were in the area again. Got to see the inside when we used their RR. It is pretty nice inside.
