Complimentary chips and salsa
Debbie F.

This place has delicious food and a huge menu. We loved the wet chicken burrito and they served it already cut in half since we were sharing. I like the option of whole wheat tortillas and whole beans. Service was outstanding

Food was killer!!
Melissa R.

The atmosphere is so cute and fun, I loved all the plants on the outdoor seating area. We went when they first opened at 11am and got a taco salad and the beef tacos. The food was perfect . The staff was super helpful and friendly. We also got a Moscow mule and house margarita, both were great! It's a teeny bit expensive but honestly worth it. Will totally go back soon.

The menu

Enjoyed a meal here last Sunday night. Every dish came out perfect and hot. The chips and salsa was delicious. The perfect spices in the salsa. Great wait staff always making sure we were happy. Beautiful interiors and plenty of room for large and small parties. Had a diverse menu which is appreciated. Best Mexican restaurant in Petaluma.

Taco Salad with meat, Chimichanga with beans and rice.
Elizabeth H.

The Taco salad w/meat (18.75) was good and the chimichanga (21.75) got a thumbs up. 3.85% discount if you pay with cash. Outside dining is a very enjoyable casual ambiance. Service is prompt and with a smile.

Pastor and carne asada tacos
Tiffany D.

Came here for Taco Tuesdays! Additionally, they have happy hour menu as well. No salsa bar here, but excellent service and they serve fresh chips and salsa. Tacos were spot on. They don't have any grilled peppers, turnips or grilled onions with it. The meat was a bit on the dry side. Quesadilla was also on the dry side, but they provided guacamole with it at least. Food is standard. Above average service.

Mezcal margarita

Best mezcal margarita ever!!!! Amazing food and the outside patio has a great atmosphere. For happy hour on a Thursday they were a bit understaffed but I was so impressed with the service considering.

Deluxe nachos with carnitas & a chicken quesadilla  Also in the background was the house margarita.  All on hapoy hour prices!
Rebecca R.

We came in time for their happy hour menu. The house margaritas were perfect! We ordered the nachos with carnitas and a chicken quesadilla. Both had a perfect amount of meat with tasty guacamole. We loved the salsa that came with the chips when we first sat down. It was nice and spicy.

Mezcalita
Rudy D.

Great food great service seated quickly and food was served quickly. We got to sit outside and eat under the tent didn't feel hot at all on a sunny day. Grabbed a mezcalita and Quesabirrias as well as a sope, everything was delicious.

3.5% fee on top of menu prices for using a card. Tip computed off post-sales tax cash total.
Wayne H.

Great location, good food, okay service. We've been to this location dozens of times since moving to Petaluma and have always enjoyed it. Their meats (for tacos, burritos, etc) are excellent. For sit-down Mexican food, the prices are reasonable, but there are better and cheaper options in town if you don't mind eating outdoors or in your car. The location, of course, is quite central to downtown and easy walking distance from most places. Parking can be tricky, especially during peak times, but we always go straight to the Keller St Garage and just walk a couple blocks - it's much easier than stressing out looking for a spot on Kentucky. Service has traditionally been pretty great but on our most recent trip, it was pretty average - long wait to get our order taken, asking for things (salsa, chips, etc) multiple times, etc. The restaurant was maybe 25% full when we dined so who knows. The kicker is that there is now a 3.5% fee to use a credit card. I'm sure it mentions this somewhere on the menu (we didn't see it and didn't look for it because it's never been a thing before), but the prices on the menu are the CASH prices. Unfortunately, I feel that's quite deceptive. Other restaurants will offer a cash discount but the price shown is the price paid for all other forms of payments. To top it off, the recommended tips printed at the bottom of the receipt are calculated post-sales tax so be aware of that if you use it as a guide to calculate your tip. I love supporting our smaller Sonoma County chains, but pricing transparency is extremely important to me. With other options in town that have better food, are cheaper, have better service, and that don't charge junk fees on top of their menu prices, I think it'll be a while before we visit again.

Not a review for the place just for patrons to be respectful…read more Just fyi to those who are making a song request......Please do NOT ask more than once. This place is request friendly but If the dj has the song/video, then maybe he will play it maybe not. Do no agitate the dj and say he his rude. He has a set he needs to play based on bpms. One patron kept insisting on a song and wouldn't stop. He wasn't drunk. Just a spoiled kid. He even had his friend ask twice. So please be mindful to not make the dj mad.

Definitely not a welcoming place ONLY because of the staff. People there were very cool to me and my friend, but as a female, the female staff were the absolute rudest possible. What an awful attitude and experience. Wow. I even had the real "pleasure" to talk to a couple girls that were there but off that night (employed there, sadly). Their pretentious attitudes wouldn't make it anywhere with any class... but apparently they get away with discrimination just fine. Outright discrimination and bullying. I won't describe here why, but ladies... if people there talk to you... they won't like you, because you take from their tips?! Apparently. The female bartenders I met are horrendous bullies. They seem like they never got out of high school. I literally cried there. Yea, not cool as a grown woman. Shame on them. So my kind message to them... if you want better for your lives and are THAT miserable to treat a human being or any life that way, DO better. Just do better for yourselves, and for the sake of others.

Everything was perfect! This place is a gem!…read more The burger was one of the best fancy burgers I've had in a long time. It looked like they ground their meat in house, but I forgot to ask so don't quote me on that. It was cooked a PERFECT medium rare topped with bacon, Cambazola, fig jam and frisse, served on a soft yet sturdy brioche style bun. The shoestring fries were like crack, super addictive, I couldn't stop! The wife had the steak frites, and it might be our new favorite restaurant for that dish. Steak was cooked ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY!! Fries were out of control good. No notes! Nice craft cocktail menu, short but well curated wines by the glass list, and the bartender had a heavy hand with those pours. Had a few oysters on the half shell as an appetizer, and we split the fried green tomatoes too. Those were topped with fresh shaved corn and a cilantro cream.l.with a few cherry tomatoes for color. So good. The atmosphere is old school speak easy vibe. Classy but casual. It's a small restaurant and the bar is front and center but they have a few tables outside for when the weather is nice. Our server was Sam, and she was the greatest. Hat's off to you for your service, Sam!

We were on our way back from our Saturday trip north when we reached Petaluma and decided to stop…read moreat Lagunitas for a cold beer and some food. It had been a while since we had last come here, so it was fun to be back and enjoy some of our favorite beers. It was a beautiful day, and they had live music. They also had a couple of large-screen TVs set up showing the World Cup game. Our server was very helpful, answering our questions about beer and bringing us a couple of samples before deciding what to order. I asked for my favorite light beer, DayTime, and we decided to share an order of chicken wings, fries, and their P-Town Chop Salad. The beer was as good as I remembered, and the food was well-made and delicious, especially the wings (with Buffalo sauce). They allow dogs, as long as they are well-behaved and on a leash, so our little guy had fun saying hello to a couple of dogs that were sitting nearby in between his breaks from begging for treats from the table. We spent a couple of hours there before heading home.

Good food, excellent service -- but a misleading 4% surcharge…read more The food was good and our server was excellent -- genuinely warm, attentive, and professional. I'd happily praise the kitchen and the service team. I can't say the same about the billing. The menu states that a 4% surcharge is added to all food and beverage sales to cover the cost of "the Petaluma living wage initiative." That sounds official, but it isn't accurate. Petaluma's Living Wage Ordinance applies only to city employees and for-profit businesses that contract with the city -- not to private restaurants. Restaurants like this one fall under the city's separate minimum wage ordinance instead. Neither ordinance requires, authorizes, or involves a surcharge on customers. In other words, the 4% is the restaurant's own business decision about its labor costs, dressed up as a city mandate. A restaurant is free to set its prices to cover its costs -- that's what menu prices are for. But attributing a surcharge to a city "initiative" that doesn't apply to the restaurant misleads diners into thinking the city imposed it, which isn't true. I'll remember the good meal and the great server. I'll also remember the fee, and that's what will keep me from coming back.
