    Love this place tried their homemade Tamales today, one chicken and one pork and was completely satisfied. Absolutely moist, delicious and packed full of meat. Also tried the flan and rice pudding and now I'm addicted. Service was great, cute little restaurant, great parking and even better it wasn't too expensive. Definitely going back

    Delicious chicken-rich quesadilla on a HAND MADE tortilla de maíz (corn tortilla). The service was great and prices fair. I'd definitely come here again.

    Very sweet kids working the front of the house and the Chile relleno is to die for. Worth the stop.

    Three tacos from left: carne asada, lingua, and birria

    A great mexican spot right off the freeway in Cotati. My wife had combo fajitas and I had three tacos; Carne asada, lingua, and birria (beef, not goat). On weekends they have fresh homemade tortillas which are marvelous. A great spot for scratch made traditional mexican.

    This family owned joint is my favorite Mexican restaurant. Every ingredient they use is made from scratch and it shows in every single dish. The chili rellenoes are fantastic. I especially love the refried beans...creamy & rich with more depth than any other beans I've tasted. Great beer list and you can't beat the authentic service given by all the family members who run the place. Also very conveniently located next to the laundromat.

    Taco combo plate. Birria tacos. Chili Rellenos.

    Loved this place! My first time ordering and it hit the spot! Cravings SATISFIED!! Would definitely order again in the future. The lady helping me was super friendly too. She gave me some extra salsas to try.

    2.5 - Sorry guys...... this place just didn't work out for me today. 3 star means I liked it. Wish I could say that I did. The service was a 5 star all the way. Loved the two young people in there serving. They were on point and speedy. The service was uber fast. Which was a plus because we were starving ! We enjoyed the chips and the horchata but it unfortunately stopped there. As we sat there touching the ultimately sticky and dirty menus (which grossed me out) we took note of the floor which desperately needs to be redone. The dings in the black floor gives an appearance of it being dirty. Well, it was also dirty on top of that. Coming in early on a Sunday at 11am, makes me believe it wasn't swept when they left last night. Just sayin....... The food just didn't impress. It lacked in taste, lacked in flavor. My husband eats pretty much anything and he said his nachos were a 2. Cotati doesn't have many options in the Mexican food category. Cafe Salsa still has the best in the Cotati area. Being from Santa Rosa, I'd find more pleasure and flavor off of a taco truck on Sebastopol Rd. I really wanted this place to work out. Sorry it didn't. Sorry for the 2 star. We just didnt like it.

    If I could get more than five stars I would. The food was excellently prepared. Manuel, our server was outstanding.

    We tried tacos Tuesday today. Food was ok but not great. The carnitas Taco was better than the chicken taco.

    Bland, flavorless, uninspired food. Salsa with all the spiciness of canned tomato sauce.
