    Shrimp Burrito Regular, Two Items Combinations (enchiladas, sope gordo carne asada), guacamole and chips Food
    Cynthia D.

    Ordered on the phone for pickup. Ordered: - shrimp burrito with refried beans, no burrito sauce on top - combo plate with 1 chicken enchilada and sope gordo carne asada - guacamole with chips - horchata - tamarindo Food was very very good!! Worth the price in my opinion! You get a lot! We got to our spot and opened the bags to 4 bags of chips, a hefty container of guacamole and perfectly foil wrapped burrito plate and combo plate!

    Loved everything about this restaurant! I didn't know Sebastopol had it like this! HA! I was tardy to the party! I HIGHLY recommend for authentic delicious Mexican food! The service is very friendly and welcoming. They make you feel like family. It's large and beautiful inside, good for a large party, I would totally want my birthday dinner here! lovely pictures on the wall , the chairs and tables all beautiful! I love the aesthetic. Felt like I was fine dining in Mexico, (mind you I never been to Mexico) (lol) Food was sooo good!!! The menu is great, many things to choose from. I ordered the 1 item combo plate w/shredded chicken, green enchilada that came with rice and beans. Tasted so fresh!! My first bite literally warmed my soul!! Also, complimentary chips w/ refried bean dip & 2 different salas was yummmy! My friend got the chicken tortilla soup (it's huge) and said this is what you call real soup! was the best she ever had!! The broth was bursting with flavor and it was full of veggies. They gave us a little dessert. Not sure what it was called but it was delicious!! I WILL BE BACK!!!

    A Delicious Detour in Sebastopol While on a day trip north of San Francisco, we took a detour into Sebastopol for lunch. El Coronel was right there, and it looked like a good option because we had our little puppy with us. It was a beautiful afternoon, and they had outdoor seating available. El Coronel Mexican Restaurant was founded by Armando Coronel in 2002 and has been a part of Sebastopol's culinary scene since then. It has been a family-run operation for over two decades and serves tasty Mexican cuisine. El Coronel is known for their sizzling fajitas, delicious combinations, flavorful tacos, and burritos. They have a beautiful patio with a complete outdoor bar. The interior is beautifully designed and looks comfortable for individuals and small and larger groups. We started with an order of Guacamole, their House Margarita, and Hibiscus Tea. The Guacamole was freshly made, and there was plenty of it! We enjoyed the combination of fresh guacamole and chips. The drinks were good, too. We decided to share a Parrillada (which means Grilled in English) for the main dish. There was plenty of food. The meats (Beef, Pork, and Chicken) were all fresh, done right, and flavorful. It came with a plate of rice, beans, guacamole, sour cream, and fresh tortillas. I could not leave without trying their flan and was very happy I didn't! It was one of the better flans I have had in a while. The staff was very attentive and friendly. A gentleman, who I think may have been the owner or manager, stopped by our table and asked how we were doing. He was very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our experience, and as we left, I made a mental note to come back and try their Molcajete! It looked very good!

    The servers greeted me with a smile and told me to seat myself. The ambiance is great, with Mexican music and beautiful, colorful decor. The food was served within 10-15 minutes and it was HUGE! I did not expect it to be so piled high! It was fresh food with delicious carne asada. Definitely, will be back to try other dishes.

    I had dinner with friends and we all thought our dishes were delicious! I ordered the Shrimp Taco Salad, my friends ordered the Beef Carnitas, Luis' Special, and Tortilla Soup. They were so kind to treat us to Cheesy Tortilla Chips for an appetizer and Sopapillas for dessert!!

Got the marinated chicken burrito (GF in which was verbally stated to the cooks) and let me tell you- the flavor was popping that I scarfed the burrito down. Unfortunately, due to the wetness of the meat, beans, and salsa, the tortilla ended up ripping apart half way through and then got pretty messy... finger licking good if you know what I mean. As I was waiting for my food I overheard another patron order the coconut horchata (what?!!!) the lovely owner (who is very accommodating and sweet) gave me a sample; oh, it was phenomenal. I cannot tell you how excited I am to already return to try more items from their menu. Ps: in the evenings they serve Persian food. Indoor and outdoor patio dinning avalible, easy located off Hwy116 outside downtown Seb, with decent parking spots in front.

We sat in the back patio, and my wife ordered a Sangria, and I just had water. The Sangria was tasty and just a hint of sweetness that I liked, but my wife wasn't as big a fan. She likes sour more than sweet. She ordered the Chili Relleno, and I ordered their special Relleno De Picadillo with Mild Poblano pepper stuffed with ground chuck, ground pork, sweet peas, carrots, potatoes, almonds, cranberries, a touch of chipotle and red wine, covered with our creamy ranchera sauce and Jack cheese. We have always liked their standard Chili Relleno, and today was no exception. It tasted fresh with lots of gooey cheese. My Relleno De Picadillo was sweeter than I thought. Then I re-read the ingredients and duh, sweet peas, carrot and cranberries. I liked it, but would have to be in the mood for a sweet Chili Relleno. It tastes similar to our stuffed bell peppers, which we sometimes do at home. It was large and tasty, but you have to be in the mindset of a little sweeter and not savoury. The salad, beans and rice were good. I love the back patio, fresh air and decorations.
