The outside was grilled to perfection--well done... *not* undercooked like some pupuserias. Lively Latin music played at a nice volume where you can talk with your companions. Merengue and more. You give your order and are given a number. You pick your own seat. Signs are bilingual--mostly Latin patrons, which is my usual litmus test that usually means the food has authentic flavor, which I love and look for from ethnic dining experiences. It's very clean and looks freshly painted. I was here just before noon and there was a steady stream of patrons.

Placed an order online for 8 pupusas, an order of nuegados and a pastelito de plátano. I got…read moreconfirmation saying my order would be ready at 12:56, I got there at 1:05. The lady at the front told me 5more minutes for my order, I waited 10mins and nothing. When I went to ask again she told me my order had just come through their system? Make that make sense! And on top of that there were other orders just sitting on the counter getting cold and the lady at the front cares more about peeling mangos with her back to the front door then handing out the orders to the customers that are waiting! The manager talk to me and was able to get me my order but guess what? They gave me the wrong order. We tried the pupusas we were given, they were dry and barely any filling inside. So not even the food is good. Bad customer service which is very sad because i drove from Santa Rosa to give this location a try. Will not be coming back.

The food that once felt fresh and flavorful now seems a bit inconsistent, and the overall experience just doesn't match what it used to be. The atmosphere is still nice and the location in San Anselmo is great, but the quality and attention to detail seem to have slipped compared to before. I'm hoping things improve because this used to be one of my go-to spots in town. The service was great otherwise.

I used to come here weekly, decades ago, when I worked down the street. I was back in town and came…read moreback for nostalgia. It's the same great quality! This is NOT some typical below par Mexican restaurant where all dishes taste the same, like is common at strip malls across the country. This is fresh and everything is delicious! I would still be here weekly if I lived or worked in the area. Strong recommendation!

Whew! What a treat! If I was closer I'd be here A LOT. I've been going to Casa Manana for over 25…read moreyears and it still hits solid every time. I'm a creature of habit and usually get the mole plantain enchiladas but I veered off track since it's been so long and I'm glad we did. The chili with walnut sauce was light and deliciously packed with flavor. The potato flauta was exceptional! Service super friendly, it was quiet on a Sunday afternoon but that's what also made it so nice. This place is a gem and we are lucky to still have them as part of our community.

My colleagues have also had the seafood Marisco plate and the pollo chicken plate . I look forward to coming here all the time and I love the music and their customer service is also very warm and welcoming. They have huge TV screens and have soccer usually playing . Highly recommend them and will definitely plan on coming back soon . Love it and will be back !!

Friendly Atmosphere, Average Food Overall Rating: 3/5…read moreI've now tried a variety of dishes at Luna de Xelaju, and the experience is consistently middle-of-the-road. The Food Churrasco Chapin (3/5): The best thing I've had here. The beef was tender and the beans were good, though the salad was underwhelming and the "hot" sauce had no heat to it. Caldo de Res & Bistec (3/5): Both were decent, standard versions of the dishes--satisfying but not memorable. Enchiladas: These were a bit lower on the scale, specifically the beans (2/5). Service & Amenities Service: The staff is very warm and welcoming, which makes for a nice atmosphere, but they aren't very attentive. You might have to flag someone down if you need something during the meal. Drinks: A big drawback if you're health-conscious--they have no zero-sugar sodas or sparkling water options. Summary: Go for the Churrasco if you're in the neighborhood and want a friendly environment, but don't expect a culinary knockout or fast service.

This is a small but delightful restaurant in the fast, casual ethnic food category.

Their pupusa and their tamales are delicious. And you don't have to spend a lot of money to get great tasting food. I only spent $11 for example on my recent lunch there and got two items which filled me up sufficiently. I'll definitely be going back to Cocina Antigua on my rounds through Novato

The staff was super friendly and welcoming. It's like a cute little burger shop but for pupusas. The vibes are great. Clearly a lot of regulars here, stones throw from Marin Civic Center. Side-note -- you can freely roam around inside the civic center which is one of the most mind-bendingly beautiful public buildings, a Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece that inspired a George Lucas for Star Wars. But anyhow, yes, the smell, the happy chatter, the bright windows, lots of little tables, very clean, it just feels right. I don't know Blankita but I can tell she's great. I got three pupusas, cheese and bean, revueltas, and cheese and loroco made with rice flour instead of corn. All were excellent, 5-6 bucks a piece. There are not many places like this in Marin, that feel they could be in the Mission. It's definitely going to be a tempting exit on my way home from work.

The pupusas were not bad, just OK (and a bit pricier than other places I've been to). I liked that…read morethe pupusas weren't too greasy/oily, but it did need the sauce for flavor (without it, it was pretty plain). The place is quite clean with a decent amount of seating available.
