There's a casual place in town, not far from here, where Mexican-adjacent food is prepared with…read moreorganic ingredients all sorts of flourishes, and prices to match. That place makes my son crazed and annoyed. He wants Mexican food to be the ilk grew up with (I raised him right); he wants to be able to step inside and afford a taco. He'll like Carmen's Hacienda. I liked Carmen's Hacienda. On a rainy night all but one table inside was filled and it was from there that I was served and what service it was. Fresh chips and two good salsas arrived at my table and two servers were quick to respond to every need of mine (which generally involved more salsa, more chips). I old-schooled it back to a long-time favorite dish of mine: a Taco Salad (about $15) with carne asada. This is one of those versions served in a fried tortilla shell and I was down for it, consuming almost every bite. The other dish at my table was a burrito with shredded chicken which proved ample enough for two meals. They asked if we wanted it "wet" but we instead opted for the sauce on the side, quickly realizing it's better than the sauce usually found. The sauce that tops a wet burrito here is thin and warm, glazing the burrito instead of drenching it. Very good. I'd tried Carmen's once before and not been taken with it but was really glad I returned. No doubt it'll be in heavy future rotation when I'm seeking a quick, casual dose of traditional Mexican fare.

I ordered a regular burrito which included a choice of meat, (I chose Chile Verde), rice, beans (I ordered my burrito without beans), and salsa. The food was prepared quickly and was hot when we received it. My only complaint is my burrito lacked flavor. Chile Verde is usually very flavorful but not this time. I'm 50/50 on if I'll try this restaurant again and order a different meat option.

The only extra fee was 3.5% for using a credit card and the tip, which MiPueblo suggested at 15% (I think they should bump that up--most Marin restaurants have a higher mandatory tip) (to be clear, you could make the tip zero, but please don't!). I checked the Clover app reviews and many merchants & users aren't happy--just fyi. Our order was being prepared when I arrived, which meant everything was fresh and would be warm and yummy when we got home. I asked for no onions or garlic on my taco and they even made a special green sauce for me. Very kind and yummy. The service and food were tops. There were two people dining and a couple of people picked up orders while I was there. It was early. It wasn't the line-out-the-door place I remembered, but it was clean and lovely. The food was good. A bit pricey for what we got, but the quality was better than other places, too.

In my experience, it is rare that any restaurant would be consistently excellent over that period of time. This restaurant is one of the rare few. Everything from the salsa bar to the chicken (both shredded and barbecued) to the carne asada and even the beans are just delicious. Not only is the food consistently wonderful, but the staff is welcoming, friendly and efficient too. One of my family members has an obvious medical condition and the staff always greets with a smile and is very patient and understanding while ordering. Couple this with the reasonable prices makes this restaurant a home run! My family feels lucky this restaurant is here and when we're in the mood for a Mexican meal, this is where we go.

I guess I've been coming here for 25 years.... located in Montecito Plaza, San Rafael by the high…read moreschool. A new tenant, "CHIPOTLE" appeared a few years ago a couple of doors down. I'm always puzzled that anybody would venture in there, all things considered. (Akin to dining at McDonald's in Paris.) Or, taking a bath with your socks on. It's my substitute for "Gordo".... But, since there is not one in Marin, I am here frequently. It's the closest thing to "Gordo". It took me this long to realize that the owner of this joint used to work for "Gordo" before he opened up this place. So, I guess that my comparison was spot on. There's something about the simplicity of the menu and the "tight wrap" that makes it work so well. You can choose from at least four tortillas, green, red, white, and whole wheat. For me it's whole pinto beans and cheese, guacamole, pico de gallo, and a little green hot sauce. In lieu of the guacamole I prefer sliced avocado, but that's more labor intensive for them so I don't often ask. Done, I inhale it. Really satisfying. It's one of those items that I crave sometimes and the anticipation from the first thought that enters my brain to the drive here is very tough. It's my crack. There used to be a time when the owners, Bobby Hernandez along with his wife and there two sons worked here regularly, but now I rarely see the owner and his wife, but one of the sons is still very involved and the other left years ago to do construction work, I believe. The one who remains is a nice, friendly young man with a great personality and good energy. I guess he's the partner. So cool to see him still working it-you know, from a 12-year-old to a grown man. I come here at varying times and different days. But truthfully, it's just about my favorite burrito joint. In fact, it might be becoming my number one. Check it out, go to "Trader Joe's" and grab some groceries and come over here for lunch or dinner. They sell side orders of rice and beans and guac, etc. so you can throw a party! Have some cash to tip, cause they don't have a tip accommodation on their charge card slips! Una comida deliciosa y constante!!!
