Don't miss San Rafael's top Mexican restaurants, as recommended by Restaurantji.
“So delicious with kind attentive service. I got the combo plate and each item was yummy. Usually it's a sea of beans with a blob of rice as a side note, but the beans and rice were stars themselves. The main choices were full of flavor and not overloaded with cheese and extra garnishes. We will definitely return if we are back this direction.“
“Wanted tacos after weekend of camping. This was closest place on way home. Park under sketchy overpass area. Line out the door. Reasonable prices. Had 5 chicken tacos dorados plus side of sour cream and guac(don’t bother ordering the guac). Came with nacho chips plus red and tomatillo salsa. Total was $12. Lots of food for the money. Nothing exceptional but good and seems very popular among locals.“
“Great spicy Mexican food (of course plenty of non spicy as well!) the place is nice and clean the music can be a bit loud sometimes, the service is pretty average, add the Menu is pretty good, I highly recommend the al pastor Tortas! Super delicious!“
“I think it ahould deserve better than 4.2 stars. Service was quick and nice, portion was enormous and the meal was great! Nice hot sauce as well. You cannot expect better in a mall and the place was packed during lunch, which is always a good sign.“
“Best mission-style carne asada super burrito I have found in Marin. On par with the best of mission district. Their red spicy salsa is fantastic as well, heavy with roasted pepper flavor. I'm so grateful to have Sonora in the neighborhood.“
“I recently had the pleasure of trying the chocolate cake, and it was a true delight. The cake itself was incredibly moist and had a deep, luscious chocolate flavor that was simply irresistible. The frosting was light and creamy, adding a perfect touch of sweetness. It was evident that great care was taken in crafting this cake, and it surpassed all my expectations. I highly recommend this chocolate cake to anyone in search of a decadent and satisfying dessert ❤️“
“I got the Carne Asada “Deluxe” burrito for $15. Burritos be getting pricey everywhere honestly but local joint beats a Chipotle, for me.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ overall taste, was very delicious and it was pretty big, it had a fair portion of meat but wish it had more. The flavors were balanced and savory but it lacked in spice for someone who really enjoys spicy (and it was extra spicy they said).For me it beats something like Chipotle in flavor and price. There’s a 10% discount if you are a local student in the area.“
“When I went there, they had no lines and the churros were only $2.84 for 3 churros. They were very kind to me and quick to serve. I was craving for churros and started searching. Lo and behold, there is a churro restaurant just exclusively churros set aside sandwiches and smoothies but now I know there is a churro place when I am craving for churrosParking: Good luck finding a place to park as their parking lot is a shared lot.“
“I ordered the macho burrito with steak and black beans. As soon as I got a few bites into it, I realized there is a reason this restaurant has been here for decades. It was delicious and packed with meat. The salsa which came with our chips was also fresh and tasty. As good as the burrito was, it paled in comparison to the service we received. "Leo" is an energetic and hospitable worker and we later found out that he is the owner. What a genuinely nice person! We will definitely make this a regular stop when we're in the neighborhood. Actually, we'll go out of our way to come here as well!“
“This restaurant offers some of the most authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine in the San Rafael. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, with friendly and attentive staff who make sure you have a great dining experience. The menu features a wide range of traditional Mexican dishes such as tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and quesadillas, all made with fresh ingredients and flavorful spices. Overall, if you're looking for a fantastic Mexican dining experience, Taqueria Bahia is definitely worth a visit.“
“The most friendly staff! And really funny too :-) they save the day with our last-minute Tamale request! And even helped me out to my car with them. This will be my new go to, and I love that it’s a little hidden hole in the wall. Located inside Marin, Medical Center, go through the gates that you pass on the left and it’s toward the back. Easily missed but once you get there, you’ll definitely be back. Thanks again guys!“
“Like you, I love tacos. These are fantastic tacos. I eat at el Yucateco a couple times per week and I never tire of any of the menu items. The panuchos, sopes, salbutes, and conchinita pibil are all terrific. Don't listen to any complaints about the quantity of hot sauce given. The stuff is so ridiculously hot that you don't need much. It is real hot sauce. You've been warned.What are you waiting for? You're are getting hungrier reading these reviews. Just go get some great tacos for a great price. These guys have the grail that you seek.“
“I loved what I orderedThe garlic mojo shrimp were delicious ? I also ordered a flan ? but I didn't get to take a photo of it, I missed it but it was too small for 4.50 I think that's what it costs I definitely won't order more“
“Came here with a large group of 13 and they were able to accommodate our entire group which was super impressive!Good:- I liked the burrito a lot, the enmolada a bit less, it didn't have a lot of flavor but the burrito was savory and delicious- The mango agua fresca was super good and lightly sweet- Prices are good and not too bad for the areaBad:- The wait time was pretty long and it was hard to get a hold of servers- There were lots of flies around in the main area but luckily we were movedOverall this was a good setting for a big group setting.“
“Well, I discovered this small place in the heart of San Rafael and pffff I fell in love with the cuisine that led me to remember my mother's food in my beautiful Mexico. I'm sure I'll come back to try more of the menu but today I tried some carnitas and asada picaditas and their super tasty horchata water, I fell in love with this little place“
