Sonoma Taco Shop — Restaurant in San Rafael

I remember going to Sonoma Taco Shop in RP 15 years ago and I loved how tasty and healthy it felt to enjoy Mexican food. I recently went up to the North Bay for an errand and came across this location which still gave me a throwback of what I used to enjoy at the other location (Carne Asada enchiladas, no cheese). I am giving this Mexican place 5 stars exactly for the reason that the food lives up to feeling healthy while still being delicious/flavorful. Another plus for this place when you order in is the super thin, not overly salted tortilla chips that they serve with whatever salsa you want - I always opt for the spiciest one they have which never fails to whet my appetite. Don't come here expecting you're getting the kind of Mexican food you'd get in the Mission but come here expecting you'll have a meal like...

Friendly, friendly, friendly. These are people that really care about you as a customer, what you eat, the quality of the food being served to you, the value, and the customer experience.

From the moment you interact with anyone working there you feel like family.

I’ve been coming here since the 1980s I think. It’s always been delicious and always been friendly. I’m glad they’re still in business and doing their thing.

I can’t compare them to any other taco shop. They have their own style, their own recipes, and their own way of doing things. It’s really unique to this shop. So I’m not going to do comparisons, but if you’re stuck in Marin and you need some food food, friendly faces, a quiet place to sit and enjoy it, maybe with a beer and some chips and salsa, this is a great option. You won’t be...

Had been meaning to try this place for a while now, really wish I hadn't. Got a carnitas super burrito to-go, got it home and within a few bites felt something really hard stop my bite. First thought was it must be a stray bone chip like sometimes happens with meat products... But it felt way too hard even for bone, so I dug out the culprit only to find a small steel ball! See the pic, no joke. This was a first for me at any food joint, & will be the last for me at this place. To be thorough w my review, up until that point the burrito was meh... I've had worse but not by much. Bland flavor left much to be desired for the price. I'll drive a few exits further next time for a decent meal.
