The carne asada was tender and flavorful, not a chewy piece in the entire burrito. Such a well balanced and well packed burrito. Chips and salsa were delicious, salsa had a nice mild heat/flavorful balance to it. Chips were nice and perfectly crisp. I also ordered the margarita Azul and it was so delicious. Staff are attentive, nice, and welcoming. Overall I really enjoyed my experience here. I also loved that they had outdoor seating up front and I regret not sitting out there on such a gorgeous day like today. Will be back soon!

I really wanted to like Taqueria Bahia because I genuinely want to support local businesses, and…read morethe service here is very nice. The staff was friendly and welcoming both times I visited. That said, I've been here twice and unfortunately had the same experience both times. The first visit, I ordered a regular chicken burrito, and it was pretty bland. I figured it might have just been an off day, so I gave them another try and ordered a super burrito the second time. Sadly, it was also bland--even with sour cream and guacamole, which I didn't really see or taste. Their burritos are long but not very thick, and flavor-wise they just didn't hit for me. I was hoping for something more seasoned and bold. I truly hope this is taken as constructive feedback, because I do want local spots like this to succeed. The service is good, and the people are kind--it's just the food that needs more flavor. Unfortunately, based on my experiences, I can't recommend it and probably won't be returning, but I wish them the best and hope they continue improving.

I'm a creature of habit and usually get the mole plantain enchiladas but I veered off track since it's been so long and I'm glad we did. The chili with walnut sauce was light and deliciously packed with flavor. The potato flauta was exceptional! Service super friendly, it was quiet on a Sunday afternoon but that's what also made it so nice. This place is a gem and we are lucky to still have them as part of our community.

My friends from Phoenix recommended Casa Manana in San Rafael and told me it was Salvadorean food…read more We just went to lunch there, Oh My God, it was sooo good. They have wonderful food quality and excellent plating (see pic), proportion of starch to meat, flavor of dressings and salsa, chips not greasy, salad that was not just lip service to a need for veggies - it was really really good. The beans were good too! I usually am iffy with the beans - could take them or leave them, but these were tasty! I ordered the Chile En Nogada Con Walnut Sauce. I had it with ground beef. The sauce was very good. Parking is easy, and it's a bit hidden - hard to see from the street. Service is wonderful, I felt welcome and it's clear that a lot of their customers are old-timers that have been coming for decades. They are going to be seeing a lot more of me! Highly recommended.

Let me start by saying that I am not an expert in pupusas. This was only the second time I have…read moretried them. I found Pupuseria Blankita online, and we decided to give it a try. The place doesn't look like much from the outside, but it has plenty of parking. Once you walk in, you'll find a very clean and well-maintained dining area with about a dozen tables. You order your food, take a seat, and your meal is brought to your table when it's ready. I must warn you that, because the food is made to order, it might take a while to arrive at your table. The place is family-owned, and the owners are extremely nice and friendly. We ordered a few pupusas. I had two: one Spinach & cheese and one Carrot, Zucchini & cheese. They came with coleslaw and sauce that were just perfect. We also shared an order of sweet plantains. I ordered a Jamaica (hibiscus tea) to wash down the food. The service was great, and the food was high-quality. The pupusas were made to order, and you could tell everything was fresh. I liked the combination of vegetables and cheese in my two pupusas, but I must say that I am still not a pupusa fan! With that said, while I give Pupuseria Blankita a four-star rating for the quality of service, freshness of their food, and cleanliness of their restaurant, I would be happy to hear more from all you pupusa experts out there to educate me on what makes a perfect pupusa! I would surely appreciate learning more about all things pupusa!

The staff was super friendly and welcoming. It's like a cute little burger shop but for pupusas. The vibes are great. Clearly a lot of regulars here, stones throw from Marin Civic Center. Side-note -- you can freely roam around inside the civic center which is one of the most mind-bendingly beautiful public buildings, a Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece that inspired a George Lucas for Star Wars. But anyhow, yes, the smell, the happy chatter, the bright windows, lots of little tables, very clean, it just feels right. I don't know Blankita but I can tell she's great. I got three pupusas, cheese and bean, revueltas, and cheese and loroco made with rice flour instead of corn. All were excellent, 5-6 bucks a piece. There are not many places like this in Marin, that feel they could be in the Mission. It's definitely going to be a tempting exit on my way home from work.

I hadn't been here before, but the reviews convinced me to give it a try…read more Parking was easy since there was plenty of street parking right in front. I came around 4:30pm, and the restaurant was empty, so we were seated immediately. Service was quick and efficient. I did hear a lot of the loud conversation between the two girls at the register about Instagram and TikTok.... I ordered the super burrito, which was nicely toasted, but overall it was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't stand out either. There was no real spice or bold flavor, and I couldn't quite figure out what it was missing. The horchata was pretty basic. It tasted more like plain milk with cinnamon sprinkled on top rather than the richer, more flavorful horchata you'd expect. I also tried the Baja fish tacos, which were disappointing. The fish wasn't crispy enough and lacked flavor. The tortilla was easily breaking apart. It's like they took the tortilla straight out of the bag because it was cold and didn't look cooked. It came with tortilla chips that were over-fried and borderline burnt, though I wasn't sure if that was intentional. Another reason this ended up being a lower rating for me is the owner's response to feedback. As you can see in other reviews, Tommy tends to get very defensive when customers leave criticism, which I found pretty unprofessional. After I posted my review, he actually messaged me directly (see screenshot), which was honestly off-putting. Yelp is meant to be a space for customers to share their honest experiences, whether positive or negative, and responding in that way doesn't reflect well on the business. I also live in San Francisco, where there's no shortage of authentic and high-quality Mexican food, so I stand by my opinion. Being told my palate isn't "on point" felt dismissive rather than constructive. If anything, I'd just caution others that if you leave feedback here, be prepared for a defensive response from ownership, which may impact your overall experience beyond just the food. Overall, I was surprised given the strong reviews. The meal felt pretty bland across the board, and unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype. Also the owner's attitude doesn't deserve any business. After the owners negative and defensive responses, I know I won't come back.

I went in and there was a bit of a line but the staff took orders and got the food out very quickly. Well run operation for sure. The inside was clean and as soon as a table finished it was immediately bussed and cleaned. I like that they had a open cooking area so you can see how they prep all the orders. I ordered a Carnitas Super Burrito and 3 Pastor Soft Tacos, I liked the complimentary salsa bar which had a few different pickled items, red and green salsa's along with chips. The Carnitas Burrito was good, the mix of the sour cream, guacamole, beans and rice with the salsa gave it good amount of flavor. My only issue was the Carnitas was a bit dry and chewy and was mostly just salty in flavor. Still Tasted ok but it could of been great if they gave a bit more love to the Carnitas. Feels like it was on the flat top to long. The Pastor Tacos were good as well, The onions, cilantro, and salsa they put on the the taco's was a good combination. The Pastor was seasoned good and had a nice spice level to it with a bit of sweetness. My only issue was that the Pastor like the Carnitas was tough and dry. Overall I liked the food and the price for what you get is a good deal for sure, just wished the Carnitas and Pastor were prepared a differently as it would have been a 5/5.

On top of that the salsa is so bad it makes you want to gag when you taste it. Its sprinkles into the burrito as well so its almost impossible to even eat around the cold hard shredded cheese and sour cream and soggy lettuce. It reminded me of a little kid might make or put together. Overall i had a bit better expectations of at least having something edible in San Rafael, but I was wrong. Hopefully they learn what effort is because their food has none, nor heart, or seasoning.
