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.

Kid-friendliness:...

When in Mill Valley (or before/after Muir Woods) stop in at Cantina for a bite! Really nice patios, restaurant and bar. Menu offers a great variety of Mexican treats and other items as well like spinach/mushroom quesadillas, spicy wings and calamari. Seriously, the best margarita I've had all year. Only stumbled upon it as I was looking for lunch before Muir Woods but we'll for sure come back again for some good food with great ambiance and fabulous staff.
