Another tip - I truly had NO idea how to get into this place but you have to go into the cheese factory and the counter to order is to the right. If you want to eat there, you have to go to the back to pick up your food and there's many tables back there inside as well as outside.

We were excited to try a bit of everything, and it was all, frankly, awful and wildly expensive…read more The ribs were cut without care or precision, resulting in sharp shards of bone jutting out of each piece (especially dangerous for children). The pulled pork, while texturally good, was bland and unseasoned. The small cup of complimentary bbq sauce did nothing to mask the taste. Worst of all was the brisket, which was gray and dry, inedible in my eyes. Incredibly disappointing, especially considering the high price per pound and the poor service. Never again.

Like why is it semi cold ? It coming out of a smoker. You have to do something about this. If I am paying $80-90-100 for two ....Buy a microwave. Whatever you need to do. The burnt ends I got was warm. And the sides warm. But chicken and brisket both cold. I ask lady to give us new brisket. And she was nice to fix brisket. I didn't want to be ghetto and make them get me new chicken. My point Make it warm. We paying lot of money. For this money it should not taste like it was left on countet for 15 mins.

Every time I get up to Sonoma I find myself rendering an opinion on whether I could live there. On…read morea recent drive through I concluded that I could not or maybe that I could but didn't want to. Later that afternoon I found myself at El Brinquito and that all changed. Owing to the population, Sonoma has what us Marin-ites can only describe as a plethora of Mexican food riches. As for me, from here on out I need only one. This one. El Brinquito is a market and a meat market and a provider of what I can only describe as some of the best steak (super) tacos I've ever consumed. How good, you ask? After the first visit I was back again inside of the week for the exact same thing. On the weekends they barbecue chicken which, from the way the girl at the register said it, I garnered the impression that it was something worth trying. Maybe, but I'll have to get it to go. From here on out, I won't be passing through this area without a stop for Carne Asada Super Tacos (under $5 apiece).

Quite literally the best deli around. From delicious prepacked salads and desserts to fresh bbq meats there is no shortage of good eats.

We've ordered the tri-tip dinner many times and it never disappoints.

It was busy, but not crazy as it was past peak lunch hours. The inside space is nice, clean, a cute gourmet shop with wine, various honey, crackers, salads, and of course the deli. For food, we ordered the pork in sauce BBQ sandwich, hot dog, and a side of baked beans. There are separate areas where you order first, then pay, then wait for your food. Once we paid, we were handed the baked beans, which were piping hot. It was still quite busy at the front and we ended up waiting about 25 min before our sandwiches came out. The wait wasn't the problem, but both items were cold when we got them. The sandwich had actually been ready and sitting there for about 15 min before the hot dog came out. We even had to ask them to swap out the baked beans they gave us earlier because they were room temp by then. Cold food aside, the pork in sauce had a lot of fat and was way too saucy (maybe ask for sauce on the side). The hot dog which was what we waited 25 min for was just...a hot dog with way too much mayo and ketchup. With the long wait, I'm confused why our food wasn't hot when it came out. I may give it another try, but first experience wasn't great.

I didn't taste salt at all . WHATI taste was delicious meat that was falling off the bone. YAY!! It's a small clean restaurant with window dining. You know , a long thin bistro-type table up against the window with stools, so you can look out, while you're having your meal. There's also outdoor seating, if you're so inclined. Did you hear me say "clean?" I didn't want you to miss that observation. The owners work their restaurant and thank God for that. Teresa is the face of the establishment . She took my orders, I took her suggestions and the chef, Teresa's husband, really knows what he's doing! He in charge is the kitchen. Not only does he know his stuff when it comes to the BBQ but he also makes their Banana Pudding!! Loved his take on the pudding. Oh!! I had their potato salad and It was good. You know you always take your chances with someone else's potato salad but theirs is pretty darn good. Had boiled eggs in it and that is always worth some major points! They offer Mack & Cheese that looked pretty good and I think coleslaw. They have other meats as well. You'll have to look em up. Anyway - if you have a hankering for ribs Biscuits BBQ is right downtown. Easy parking in the shade too. You should try it. I'll go out on a limb and tell ya "you can't go wrong." Forgot to tell ya they're priced right too, especially for this town. Oh!!!! They have beer and wine too. Woohoo!!! I hope you go. Tell Teresa Chatterbox Pam sent ya... HaHaHa. Won't get ya a discount but I love my new name "chatterbox"
