    I met a friend here for happy hour recently. I checked their happy hour menu on their website beforehand and noticed it's not up to date. We shared an order of taquitos which we enjoyed. It comes with a green sauce that was too spicy for me but my friend loved it. The fish tacos I ordered were delicious. It comes with two good sized tacos. The green salsa was also served with the tacos. I washed it down with a margarita which was tasty. The service was good and staff were friendly. There is a doorway in the middle of the restaurant that goes into the Crepevine restaurant. Their menu is available if you want to order something while dining in Cascabel.

    Strawberry and lavender margarita which was amazing

    I was shocked at the food and the drinks. Shocked because I could not get enough and ate way too much. I had the fish tacos with the ghost pepper sauce which was amazing then ate the shrimp ceviche which I couldn't finish but ate all the shrimp first. Then I had the lavender and strawberry margarita which was the an esculent blend but you could still taste the tequila which made it perfect. Don't listen to any negative reviews and sit at the bar and let Adrian help you. He was an excellent bartender. His smile is infectious.

    Kids pasta with butter from next door

    What a find during our quick trip to Marin! Luckily for us, it wasn't very busy on the Saturday night that we went and we were able to sit in the area with the couch. Two adults, three teens, and two toddlers! Service was super friendly and kind! I was a little apprehensive about taking the kids to a "tequila bar"' so I appreciated the staff's warm welcome. We asked our waitress for recommendations and she was spot on with the fried fish tacos. The green sauce is spicy and amazing! The babies enjoyed their pasta and butter from next door (crepe place). We got a crossover flight, a variety of tequila, to share, and the spicy margarita was just perfect. The decor is so cheerful and cozy. And the music was awesome! It reminded us of all the Latin hits we'd hear at salsa dance socials! We loved it and will return for sure.

    Mezcal

    TEQUILA LOUNGE -we came here for Mezcal! My sister loves it and wanted to introduce me to this fine drank!!! Omg I fell in love and it had a twist to it! Totally delicious and smooth and SMOKY!!!! Also had the spicy wings and some chips and guacamole! This is the hidden spot in San Rafael and so worth the visit! Food was totally great!!! Come here for drinks and to watch the game and try their tequila or mezcal ! They have flights or you can order by the glass! Great customer service and team!! Come and check it out !!

    Thank you for your hospitality Riza! It's the best vibe for all the tequila you can handle. They have other types of liquor and spirits, but the top shelves are lined with tequila! I had the Spicy Mexican Mule, which is a tequila version of a Moscow Mule, and a Classic Margarita. The whole staff is amazing.

    Reposado flight!

    Went in for happy hour and left happy! Great prices, drinks were delicious, food was yummy, fries were DELICIOUS! I really enjoyed our server and the follow up staff service. They were all great! Even better was the decor and coziness of this place

    Spicy af green salsa delicious!

    Thank you for opening late. Might be my new spot when we need to have a later dinner, such as 9pm or later. Not many options after 9pm in Marin county. Great service. Comfortable seating. Good value on large portions that were on point. Tequila bar for sure with vast options. Highlights were the Baja fish tacos, clean. Green Serrano salsa, it's hot wow no joke serious. I love it. Margaritas tasty mango with selection of rim garnishes of sugar, salt, chili powder. Will be back anytime we need dinner after 9pm.

The seating area ,like the hotel, has modern upscale aesthetics with relaxed vibes. The views are gorgeous. The staff are sweethearts, five star service. The drinks and tapas menu price points are of course pricey. But what was up with the stained paper menus. Eww. Anyways, the fam ordered drinks (cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks) and tapas of olives, hummus and pita, and fingerling potatoes. The olives were delicious and it was a good medley of various kinds. The fingerling potatoes were a bit boring tasting, it could use more seasonings for added zing. Not sure how the green hummus tasted, I snoozed on that one. Overall, the drinks are good, ambiance fantastic, and the food is meh. This is a type of place I would go for special occasions and not on a regular basis, my wallet cannot sustain it.

Located in downtown San Rafael the ownership here invested heavily in this restaurant to create an authentic Irish pub. We feel comfortable the second we walked in. Due to some food, allergies it's not always easy for me to find food that restaurants other than maybe one or two dishes on a menu. I was amazed that there were nine or 10 different dishes that I would have wanted to order. I can literally come back eight more times and order something different and enjoy it each time. The food was great! The setting was authentic. And the fact they have soft serve for dessert brings us to a 5+ rating!! Our server was great. And there was a second server managing cocktails. My only complaint was we never saw the bus boy and had to ask for our place to be removed even after they served his dinner.

    This review is for booking a table for a kid's birthday party... I first attended a Yelp event at…read morePixels and had such a great time, I thought it would be great to host my son's birthday party there! Booking was easy to do online, and the owner Rob answered questions that I asked via email. Last Saturday, I showed up with 8 boys to celebrate my son's birthday, and the group had a blast. The party was mid-morning, and I appreciated how quiet the venue was. Some arcades have music that is blasting and so many lights flashing, and that can be overly stimulating. There are plenty of machines for guests to spread out. In the back, there are 4 controllers for Nintendo Switch, and the staff did have to come help change games for the kiddos but if you know what you're doing, you might be able to navigate on your own. Ordering pizza from Red Rooster was really easy, and the staff at Pixels even walked over to pick up the pizza for the party. So thoughtful! Throughout the 2 hours there, there were other families who came in to enjoy the arcade, as well as adults. 2 hours goes by so quickly! All the parents whose kids attended said their kiddos had a blast. Great place for a birthday party, young and old :) The dads are now talking about gathering again without the kids! Quick logistics: A single use bathroom is at the back of the space. Bring cash for tips or you can tip with card payment. Parking in the lot is free on weekends, otherwise pay for metered street marking Monday - Saturday.

In comparison to the pinball museum, Pixels had more video games and I think it fit our interests more. We each got a drink from the place, the kids picked out soft drink / juice, and the husband and I each got an alcohol beverage. I like that there were many local brews they are serving. I like the idea of supporting local businesses. My son was a little shy to go play the video game station set up with gaming chairs. But we pretty much tried all the other free games. There are a few machines not included in the package cost, they are clearly labeled and close to the entrance, you will need cash coins to play those, if you want to play them. The bathroom was clean. There were so many bottles of anti-bacterial solutions lining up near the entrance and inside the facility. I'm a bit of a clean freak after the Covid-19 pandemic, so seeing this made me happy that the owner cares about protecting people. We spent about 3 hours here. I saw some lady some in with a bunch of kids. It was kind of interesting to watch them because she was working on her laptop while the kids ran around and played games. It's like a cheap daycare! I wish the had one of these arcades closer to where I live, I can just let my kids loose while I do my own thing for a couple hours!
