    Steak Tostada

    Good food, nice workers and great price. Will be back again soon. It's inside Graton Casino and a resort in Rohnert Park.

    Afshin A.

    We went on a day trip to the Santa Rosa area and stopped at La Texanita, located on Sebastopol Road, for a quick bite. As soon as we got out of the car, we remembered that we had been there over seven years ago! It was a beautiful day, so we sat outside, and this time, we didn't order a large meal. We started with a well-made guacamole, each of us had a couple of tacos, and we washed them down with a few glasses of Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus flower tea). I had a Lingua and Carnitas Taco. Both were tasty and full of flavor. I finished with a Flan, which was amazing! It was soft and flavorful. The servers -- three ladies who took care of customers both inside and outside -- were fantastic and helped with all our questions. We really enjoyed our lunch. La Texanita was started in 2004 by Alma Mendez and her sister. They began with a taco truck, using recipes from their mother, before opening the restaurant. In 2009, the restaurant got national recognition when Guy Fieri featured it on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, where he praised their tacos and pozole. I mentioned this in my original review, but today I noticed that the link was no longer working. So, if you want to see the episode, here it is on Food Network's YouTube channel: Guy & His Family Eat Legit Mexican Food in His Hometown https://youtu.be/kAEcmfq77uQ?si=QJ3CVwbxuZ-rMu46

    It was a Sunday morning and I wanted Menudo! After a quick search on yelp we picked La Texanita. When we walked in, it was closer to noon and it was just the right amount of busy. After we ordered our food came out super quick! We both ordered menudo, mine with hominy, his with pata, both with homemade corn tortillas. Flavor profile was just right and hit the spot. Servers were very friendly and attentive, decor was beautiful. So glad I have a new go-to spot for my menudo craving.

    Best tacos!! Thank you Norma You are the best! We always come here and have the best tacos

    Do they use lard in their refried beans?

    Oh yeah. That's why the beans are so delicious. Texanita is not a vegetarian / vegan restaurant. Pretty sure that the rice is boiled in watered down chicken stock for flavor.

I think the rib is smoked first and then sous-vide afterwards. Service was solid. Friendly staff and the hostess was able to seat us inside after we realized sitting outside was too cold for us. On an earlier warm evening, I'd opt to sit on the deck -- great dining experience if weather behaves and it's not too chilly/windy. Btw, always order dessert. The sundae was superb.

    Am I a *little* crazy for driving 1.5 hours from SF just to try out a new seafood boil spot?…read morePossibly...and left not disappointed. I enjoy more of an "asian" taste when it comes to seafood boil flavors, so the fact that this place has hotpot only made my expectations higher. Prices are fair, and there were empty spots with no line by the time I left (6PM). I ordered 1lb of head on shrimp, clam, and mussel with the combo of potatoes, corn and sausage, with a side of garlic noodles. The highlight is the Simmer Sauce, which is a sweet, spicy, and a little savory/garlicky. The medium packed a kick, so I would definitely get mild for the low spice tolerance people. Shrimp was huge and tasted pretty fresh. Clams varied in size with some clam meat being smaller than others. Mussels were solid, but I noticed we had a couple of closed shells. The garlic noodles paired perfectly with everything, acting both as carbs and great for dipping in the sauce. Although this place beats most if not all seafood boils in the bay area, I had to wait about 30min for my garlic noodles. My server claimed they were making a new batch, but it was a little disappointing having mostly finished everything before they were served. I also had to flag my server down instead of them coming over for updates on my order and getting my bill. The seafood boil came within 10min otherwise though.

I explained to her that I was single-sided deaf, and after that, she always approached the table from my good side! The drinks and food were delicious!!

It's inviting vs the stuffy atmosphere some places have. BABAGANOUSH PITA we got it for the kiddo expecting it to be run of the mill stuff you get.

Not diluted with tahini, garlic, just pure flavors of eggplant with tanginess of sumac. LITTLE GEM SALAD WITH RAINBOW TROUT was hearty, leafy and very refreshing. The pickled celery was the surprise. HAMACHI CRUDO - beautifully assembled with thoughtfulness, light, refreshing. A bunch of flavor bombs in there so each bite is an adventure. Basil making it refreshing, earthy crunch from hazelnut, sharpness from green onion, sweet tart kiwis. I think a bit of citrus would make this a superstar. Mandolin shaved limes perhaps? GRILLED MAITAKE MUSHROOMS - ok I think this was the chefs most technically impressive dish, with an exercise in playing with bitter profiles and turning it into a master piece. Grilled maitake gets the char from the grill is the first flavor layer, it's woken up by the wild thyme from the zatar. Next the Japanese turnips bring the second dimension with earthy beautiful bitter notes on a bed of a creamy tahini based sauce. It's finished with fresh parsley to bring a fresh element to it. Great stuff. Could raddichio be added to make this more challenging? I saw those crunchy POTATOES and I got them even after eating the meal lol. Do yourself a favor and just get them - they're hot, crunchy and perfect to pair with the vegetables. Finally we got their chocolate mousse with bruleéd bananas sorry couldn't take a picture before it was all gone. Great way to wrap.

Although the flavor profile on the salmon with citrus and saffron was not to my taste it was expertly prepared.

It got busier as our time stretched on, but it wasn't slammed and there was plenty of staff. We ordered plenty of food including two bottles of wine. We had to completely finish all of our appetizers before being asked about mains and we sat with empty glasses for ~20 minutes (possibly more) before we flagged someone down to get the second bottle; a bottle we left half drunk because it stretched our evening so long. I might give this place another try but honestly it was one of the most drawn out anticlimactic $400+ birthday celebrations (without desert) I have ever had. We could have done better at home for less.
