Friendly fast service, delicious Pupusas, casual environment. This is the newest location of the Novato EP Salvadorian Pupusaria. The Pupusas were excellent. Toothy and chewy, full of flavor, and melty gooey on the inside. The pickeled cabbage slaw that comes with them is the perfect crunchy tangy pair. They are served ala carte or 3 to a platter. We ordered pollo, chicharron, and Lorroco Pupusas. The Lorroco were a delicious new flavor for me. Never had it before. Kind of a cross between chard and artichoke, but stuffed inside a Pupusa with melty cheese. OMG!! The fried plantains were quite good, and the crema and beans that accompanied them were perfect. The refried black beans had a silky smooth texture that was nothing less than heavenly. They have other non Pupusa items that I'm looking forward to try on my next visit. They also advertise south American breakfasts.

The pupusas are on par with the place we used to frequent in the Mission district of SF. FOOD: -Pupusas come in orders of 3 for their plate, or you can order them as single. Comes with curtido and the red sauce. They are a little smaller than normal but not by much. They are fantastic-- not overly greasy and the perfect ratio of filling to dough (I hate when they're too doughy) -we got a large side of rice and beans. The large sides are those large plastic takeout containers so can feed 4-6 people easily. Not sure if it was a fluke but the beans were straight liquid-- like no substance whatsoever. I think we may have gotten the bean broth or something, but we poured them over our rice and the flavor was great so I was still happy AMBIANCE -There were 8 parking spots within their 2 small private lots. Super easy to park and pickup my takeout -they have the CUTEST outdoor patio at the back of the restaurant, covered by a gazebo that provides shade. -the inside of the restaurant was clean and spacious. SERVICE -it was a little hard to get my phone order in due to a slight language barrier, but it ended up being correct and on time. -I was surprised to find they didn't have a website with a menu so I made sure to take a photo and upload it here. They do not have online ordering. -The lady helping me was very nice and gave great service. The food was great. The prices were fair. We got 9 pupusas, large side of rice, large side of beans and an horchata for around $65 so not too shabby. We will definitely be back!

Is this the Best Mexican restaurant in Sonoma County?…read more Don't let the simple, unfussy interior fool you -- Quiote is quietly doing some of the most exciting Mexican cooking in the Bay Area. This family-run Jalisco-style spot in downtown Petaluma sources quality ingredients (heirloom maize, Rancho Gordo beans, fresh local seafood), and it shows in every bite. And, of course, the staff is warm, personable, and genuinely happy to walk you through the menu -- take them up on it. Guac & Salsa -- I've had a lot of chips. These might be the best I've ever had. The raspadas are the move here: thin, crispy, shatteringly light corn chips with a texture unlike anything you'd expect. Not your standard tortilla chip -- closer to something airier and more delicate. The guac and salsa alongside are equally solid. Molotes -- Traditional Mexican street snack: golden, torpedo-shaped corn masa dough fried crisp on the outside, packed with savory filling (think potato, chorizo, cheese), and served with salsa and crema. The exterior crunch giving way to the warm filling is deeply satisfying. Highly recommended. Tacos ($7.50 each) -- Yes, $7.50. And yes, worth it. The 100% maiz handmade tortillas are the foundation everything is built on, and they're exceptional. I worked through a lot of the menu and didn't find a miss -- al pastor, barbacoa, cochinita pibil, carne asada, fish -- all executed with care. If you're not sure where to start, just ask. The staff knows the menu cold and will point you right. Quiote isn't trying to be flashy. It's trying to be correct -- and it nails it. One of the best Mexican meals I've had, full stop.

FINALLY tried Quiote (took me long enough), and the experience was amazing!…read more Obviously, the best part of dining with someone is turning the meal into a full menu sampling. We started with the Guacamole (a generous serving), the Spicy Tuna Tostada, and Shrimp Tacos. ALL of which were absolutely amazing. You could easily make a full meal from their shareable plates, but we decided to sample broadly on our first visit. For our main course, we split the Ribeye entrée. I must stress how shareable this portion is (it's a lot of meat, but for my protein-focused people, this would be a great one). The steak was prepared perfectly and came with charred grilled avocado and fresh tortillas. Everything, down to the side accompaniments and the great cocktails, was top-tier. On a more critical note, I highly recommend planning ahead: we made our reservation a couple of weeks in advance, which seems necessary as the restaurant clearly gets very busy in the evenings. Will be back to sample the rest of the menu since now I'm obsessed.
