First Time Bite at La Chulada's Cantina - Pleasant Surprise!
I am not sure how long La Chulada has been in downtown Novato. I'd passed by the location many times, and grabbed breakfast next door, but never walked in. On his visit, however, that finally changed!
La Chulada itself offers a diverse marketplace, but I had my sights set on the little cantina tucked away beside it. Craving a quick bite before heading back to San Francisco, I ordered a couple of tacos: carnitas and "steak," as the friendly counter lady recommended. At just $3 each, I didn't expect much, but to my delight, these were pleasantly surprising!
Let me rewind a bit. This warm and welcoming lady (you know, the one I mentioned earlier) greeted me as I approached the counter. Uncertain about the second taco filling, I mentioned my carnitas choice and asked for advice. "Steak!" she said confidently. Since I only had my phone, she kindly directed me to the market side with my taco slip for Apple Pay processing.
Back at the cantina, I settled into one of their clean, small tables. The lady brought chips, salsa, and a refreshing glass of water, as I had requested. Now, here's where the deliciousness kicked in...
But wait! As I sat down, my eyes caught a small board showcasing the day's specials. Guess what? Birria! Over the past few years, I've become quite the Birria fan, and seeing that missed opportunity stung a little. Oh well, next time, for sure!
Overall, La Chulada's cantina offered a fantastic, unexpected gem at a more-than-fair price. While I missed the Birria this time, the friendly service, clean atmosphere, and delicious tacos left me wanting more. I'll definitely be back to explore their marketplace and, of course, try that elusive Birria!

Terrible the new staff at the butcher shop, this was the third and last time I go to buy carnitas and they are not ready and the new guy who cooks them even told me in a mocking manner that maybe even in the afternoon or maybe until the day Next will be that man from Tabasco who is incompetent and has nothing to do with Don Enrique. That man was kind and efficient, always giving the best service, and they are getting worse every day. They should be ashamed.
