    I was invited out to eat breakfast here at Marvin's. First time here, it's a cute breakfast/bunch place in Cotati. I got the chilaquiles with 2 over hard eggs. The servicing size is generous and it tasted home made. My friend for the Mexican Benedict, it had so much flavor and the potatoes were cooked to perfection. Our service was a great we got greeted as soon as we walked in and we were checked on frequently. They even filled our coffee mugs without asking.

    Steak chilaquiles and breakfast burrito were seriously delicious -- huge portions, bold flavors, and everything tasted super authentic. The hot sauce packs real heat (you've been warned!), and every bite was worth it. Only downside? Prices are on the steep side -- but if you're hungry and want it done right, this spot delivers.

    I was visiting my daughter who lives nearby and she brought me to Marvin's for breakfast. I didn't expect much and was pleasantly impressed. We arrived about 10:30 am on a Sunday Parking lot is quite full but we found parking easily. Happy to say that spots are decently sized so cars are too close to each other. We were seated immediately. Warning ... the menu is pretty big for a person with any trouble making decisions (me). I never asked if I could order lunch at this time (which I usually prefer lunch) I decided on the chicken fried steak since I love it and it's not something that I would ever make at home. Daughter usually gets the breakfast sandwich but went with the sausage and cheese omelet. Both came with toast and a choice of hash browns or potatoes. We both picked hash browns and they were amazing. Daughter opted out of toast and we shared mine. My chicken fried steak was amazing. Possibly the best I've ever had I tasted her omelet and it was tasty Hashbrowns were perfect An array of hot sauces were on table with we didn't need to request it. The cutest thing about this place was that each table had different and adorable salt and pepper shakers. Space was super clean. Staff was working hard and were fabulously friendly. I am looking forward to coming back on my next visit. Maybe even come for lunch!

    Marina sandwich with shrimp, salad, tomatoes, avocado, and lettuce on woke wheat! I chose sweet potato fries as my side!

    Have lived in the area most of my life and I've never been to Marvin's until today. It was life-changing! We will be back. The food was extremely fresh, service was great and a great little atmosphere.

    Country Fried Steak breakfast with hash browns & over medium eggs. Also came with English muffin. Fantastic!

    What to do when one of your fave brunch places is closed for vacation?! Keep researching for alternatives because we drove all this way up to Cotati. Thank you fellow Yelpers for your insight on Marvin's! As expected on a Sunday there is a bit of a wait for a table (just for 2 of us), but it wasn't bad. The place was very busy. There's counter seating for those who would like to be served more quickly. Since I'm trying to eat low carb I opted for their Joe's Scramble with a side of fruit and hubby went with their Country Fried Steak with hash browns, over medium eggs, & an English muffin. He said it was one of the best Country Fried steaks he's ever had. I enjoyed my scramble and the hot coffee. Friendly service with smiles. I liked it here very much. There is a bit of a wait for staff to take our order, but it wasn't terribly long. Looking forward to trying other things next time!

I spoke with the manager after my last experience telling the they messed up our order so many times that it was extremely frustrating. The last experience i asked for no sour cream on the nachos i was very clear. Well they put sour cream. I asked for extra sauce, onions tomatoes and cilantro (which they charged me four dollars extra) which is fine but if you are going to charge for it then make sure its what i asked for. Hardly any sauce and definitely not extra onions, tomatoes or cilantro. Looked like the normal amount they give and charged me four dollars more. So the manager apologized and said next time you come in the burrito will be on us and he was very apologetic. He said there will be a note upfront. Well i go in to order some food let the lady know what the manager had told me and to my surprise there was no note and they didn't honor it. They called the manager no response. I told them i was upset and to please have the manager reach out tomorrow. Im still waiting on the phone call.. I decided to still order give them another shot. I ordered my food and paid .. and they still messed up up my order when i asked for no pico and sour cream on my nachos they put sour cream. Smh. Had to remake it. Since this establishment simply cant honor their WORD and always mess up my orders i will not be returning.

Wife had chicken Quesadillas i had the regular grilled chicken burrito. It was all just "okay" . The burrito was dry left me wanting more of the enchilada sauce on it. Quesadillas were better at least had sides of sour cream guac and pico de gallo. The staff was attentive fountain pepsi was somewhat flat. On the way out the bathroom was absolutely horrendous. Pee all over the seat and poop smell as an employee walked out.

La taquería estaba claramente sin suficiente personal; estuvimos ahí alrededor de una hora entre esperar y comer. Solo había un cocinero y un cajero atendiendo el área de clientes y el drive-thru. De repente llegó un hombre, aparentemente el encargado del turno, y comenzó a hablarle de muy mala manera al pobre muchacho por unas servilletas y otros detalles sin importancia, justo cuando ya casi terminábamos. Fueron al menos diez minutos de señalarlo, usar malas palabras y tratarlo con una gran falta de respeto. Me molestó tanto que me levanté y le pregunté si él era el dueño. ¡Por supuesto que no! Así que le sugerí, con respeto, que dejara de gritar y de faltarle al respeto al empleado ahí mismo en la cocina, intentando intimidarlo y amenazándolo con mandarlo a descansar. Si tenía una situación que atender, que lo hiciera en privado y con profesionalismo. Se quedó callado, y el otro chico pudo volver a sus tareas. Estaba sorprendida y aterrorizada. Se me revolvió el estómago. No podía quedarme mirando cómo alguien actuaba con tanta prepotencia y grosería. ¡Increíble! No creo que esta haya sido la primera vez que sucede algo así, pero espero sinceramente que situaciones como esta se manejen de forma diferente en el futuro. Los pobres muchachos llevaban toda la tarde atendiendo clientes con excelente actitud, a pesar de no tener el apoyo adecuado. Lamentablemente, entre paisanos estas cosas pasan a menudo, cuando estamos en una época en la que deberíamos ser más unidos. Pero no todos comparten los mismos valores. El servicio fue muy bueno y la comida estaba deliciosa. En general, una experiencia agradable hasta que llego el señor a dar su teatro.
