One of the most underrated restaurants I’ve ever visited. Hand down one of the best burritos I’ve ever had and it’s a top tier restaurant that should be on everyone’s radar. Each time I visit NorCal, I make it a part of my itinerary to stop by. Este es el mejor restaurante con comida mexicana en el norte de california. Tienes que visitar.

First time at this place and I have to say it was pretty good. At the beginning it was a little rocky due to I had called ahead to make a reservation because I had 10 guests and I understand that some places with more you need a reservation therefore I called again had been told they weren't taking any which I thought was a bit weird especially it being Mother's day weekend so we got there and had to wait til one family was done to be seated at that table. While many other tables were open I'm just guessing that spot was made for bigger groups. Ok anyways the service was good food was good we stopped by on our way back from the city to celebrate my sisters mother's day since she flew in for SoCal.. The Salsa is amazing by the way both red and green, I had the Asada Taco Salad my Hubby had the Enchilladas Suizas de Pollo my sis had the Asada Chimichanga and her hubs had the California Burrito. All was amazing!!
Great service. Great food. And Great Margaritas. The Burrito was so big I had the half for my dinner. And half for my lunch the next day.

Visited here on a rainy night with my American friends living in the area. It was highly recommended. They weren't kidding. I had some of the best tortilla chips and burrito I have ever had in my life. Everything was so fresh too. Super Burrito was just gigantic and insanely delicious!

Perhaps the best Mexican food in Novato - if not, it's close. The go-to dinner spot for my Dad and I. We've tried the other two Mexican places on Grant, at least, and neither is as good. Carmen's staff are always super friendly and the servings are enormous. Price is low to mid twenties per person.
Parking: My family always parks in the BMO lot across the street. Technically not allowed but we've been doing it for years and it's not been a problem.

Delicious Food and Excellent Service at Carmen's La Hacienda
On our recent visit to Carmen's La Hacienda in Novato, we had another enjoyable experience. Having been there three times over the past eight years, we were happy to find the quality and atmosphere as delightful as ever. We decided to sit outside, taking advantage of the beautiful weather. The outdoor seating was comfortable and offered a relaxed ambiance, perfect for a casual Sunday lunch.
We started with guacamole and chips. The guacamole was fresh and bursting with flavor. I chose a cold Mexican beer while my significant other enjoyed a hibiscus tea.
For my main course, I opted for the Carne Asada plate. The thinly sliced steak was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. The accompanying refried beans were rich and delicious. My significant other ordered the Quesadilla Suiza, which was generously filled with melty cheese, making for a satisfying and comforting meal.
The service was outstanding. Our server, a young man, was both professional and attentive throughout our visit. His friendly demeanor and prompt service added significantly to our positive experience. This visit solidified why we have returned to Carmen's La Hacienda. The consistent quality of the food, the pleasant ambiance, and the excellent service make it a top choice for Mexican cuisine in Novato. We left feeling completely satisfied and already looking forward to our next visit.
