    Caldo de Rez
    Diane C.

    The staff are wonderful. I am working my way through the menu. I have had the Caldo de Rez (beef soup) served with corn tortillas. Think of pot roast but in a soup form with out the gravy. YUM! I've taken home the super burritos as a treat for family. Everything here is a comfort food made to order with fresh ingredients. Lovely ambiance and art, a giant Vicente Fernańdez photo in the establishment.

    Carne Asada Quesadilla
    Brian S.

    This place as the kids like to say is, "Fire!" Finally able to try it out and we were not disappointed. Some of the best Carne Asada I've had in all of Marin. The portions are massive too. Trust a big guy and try it out!

    A super burrito w/so much meat!
    Liz H.

    This place is a hidden gem. Selfishly I want to keep it a secret for myself but I want them to succeed. The workers are so nice and accommodating to any style burrito you want. For example- they don't have a kids menu but they modified a regular burrito to my kids liking. Also- their burritos are HUGE! The price is right too. I hope more people support this business.

    Came back for a second visit to this location - nice to see they've expanded into the adjoining space, business was brisk so I suppose they're doing well. I had the burrito - again, and was once again impressed not only with the freshness but with the size of the thing. I could easily have taken half home for another meal, however I wolfed it down greedily, it was really tasty. Service was fast and great, chips were warm, salsas were fresh, price was right, what more could you ask?

    Overall a delicious experience! I've been meaning to kick the tires and was in the area so gave it a shot. This location was a couple different businesses over the past few years and was glad to see a new business come in. Upon entering the restaurant, it's got a counter style set up where you order and find a seat. It looks like they are still figuring things out as there is a beer and wine application notice in the door. There is plenty of seating available (probably too much) as there are seating area inside and a covered exterior spot. The menu is on a flatscreen which is typical these days. The monitor next to it was serving up early 90's pop and hip-hop music videos which was kinda funny. The food is very good and full of flavor. I ordered a super burrito and it could probably feed 2. The beans, meat, rice, and cheese all melded together for a delicious mix of flavors and textures. The salsa's were nice as well. There was a red (spicy) and green (medium) which is a good addition to a bite or two of burrito or chips. I hope this place does well and we'll see what the future holds.

    Decided to try the super vegi burrito again before ruling out this place as a lunch option. I ordered the salsa, guacamole and sour cream on the side, hoping this would take care of the issue of my burrito being cold. I was wrong! The burrito was mostly lettuce on the inside, so it's difficult to make it any warmer. It was also lacking in flavor. The chips and mild salsa were tasty. Given my choice of entree, this clearly isn't the place for me.

    Shrimp and veggie tacos
    Mark K.

    The food was average. Nothing really stood out from any other Mexican restaurant in town. They have al pastor as a meat option which is not that common. I had it in a burrito. It was supposed to be a super burrito (regular burrito with guacamole and sour cream). It wasn't. My mother said that her enchiladas were okay. Nothing special. The stand out appears to have been the shrimp and veggie tacos. It deserves 4 stars. Everything else was 3 stars. The guacamole had more tomatoes than avocado. Not the way I like it. I think that this restaurant is very new. They have some things to work out. They overcharged us. They charged us twice for my mother's enchilada combo meal. They have a large space across the parking lot from Pini's hardware. This location can't seem to hold onto a restaurant. They had better try harder or they won't last either. They have covered outdoor dining. It was good to try this place but I probably won't be back.

    Great space

    What great news! After 25 years working at a taco shop in San Jose, Samuel finally opened his own taco shop in South Novato, next to the ACE Hardware store. The best taco shop in town. Excellent service and the best price. Honestly, the best tacos in the county. Very nice people and respectful

    Super burrito was a good size!

I took the high road complimented his tattoo. It seemed to go better, but he was really standoffish and just almost openly. Hostile for no reason. I still left a tip. The other guy had a lot of hip pain. I did have a really nice visit on April 7Th. That server that day was really into the music. There was two Australian guys at the counter. We had a blast but lately the place is just a dump. The side room is just completely a mess. Needs to get blown out with a blower. Nobody's wiping the tables down the grouchy condescending server was a huge turn off. The dreamland spaceport 9% that I had was way better in April now it just tasted really subpar. Stale even. I just slammed it down and got another beer reverse funnel was way more crisp and delicious. Come to think of it the last couple visits I had at the palace or barrels in Petaluma wasn't that great either. The staff just doesn't really care. Hopefully whoever's running this place can turn around. Bring back servers that are fun and care.

My two friends and I recently had dinner there on Friday, May 29, 2026, and once again, the quality of the food did not disappoint. All three of us ordered the Shrimp Chef Salad, and each salad was fresh, flavorful and beautifully prepared. We arrived at 6:00 p.m. and were seated immediately. Unfortunately, the table service throughout the evening was unexpectedly slow. We ordered an appetizer that never arrived, and no one checked back with us regarding its status. At the end of our meal, we waited for someone to pick up our bill and payment at our table, as usual. But eventually we had to go to the cash register ourselves to settle the bill. What made the experience more surprising was that the restaurant did not appear particularly busy, especially for a Friday evening. While the outstanding food remains a strong reason to return, I hope the service issues we experienced were simply an off night and not indicative of a broader trend.

Embarrassingly for Marin, only two restaurants made the list--including Lou's. It definitely lives up to its reputation. First, yes, it takes calling often!

If you can't get through, don't despair. At 6:15 when I picked up my order, people were still able to walk up and order, although only a few entree choices were left.
