“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!“

“I was there with 11 other people and we all got our food within about 10 minutes of ordering which was surprising and I was expecting it to effect the food quality but it just might be the best Mexican food I have ever had and the workers were super kind and the best lemonade I’ve ever had as well, was maybe a tiny bit too sweet but that’s fine I’d highly recommend it, it’s so worth the money“

“Always appreciate organic healthy vegan food that is delicious as well! If you're vegan, however, be constantly aware that they have dairy. The staff is quite knowledgeable, which helps, and always willing to ask the kitchen if they don't know. The metal chairs scraping on the concrete floors are ear piercing. Try to sit outside away from the noise.“

“I ordered three Taco Bell Supremes tacos. That was hardly any sour cream or cheese. It was mostly lettuce and a few tomatoes. I don't think that's what I expected but that's what I got. I hope that's coming across clear because it was edible but not what I expected to order after paying $16 for the meal“
