    Hands down best tacos in its area. There are 4 other taco places within 3 block of each other. This by far best tasting. For sure.

So good. It got in my hair & on my sweater & I'm not even mad. My boyfriend got the El pastor quesadillia. His was really good as well but mine? Cannot compare. Super cute place, looks like a mom & pop shop with booths inside & a counter you can sit at as well. They also had tables outside.

    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.

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.

Service has been friendly & fast , and drinks have always been delicious. My favorite time to go is during their Happy Hour, as they have various affordable cocktail options as well as small bites. Their taquitos are my personal favorite, are so good, and come with a nice green salsa and sour cream. My favorite drink has to be the Tamarindo margarita, which I always get with a Chamoy rim. I also love the environment and aesthetic of this establishment, as the low light & modern look, make this place look elegant & classy. Will definitely be returning with my boyfriend and friends for a quick drink or two.

This spot seems more of a tequila bar that serves food rather than a restaurant setting. For food, we ordered the fish tacos, shrimp ceviche and taquitos. Their fish tacos were good! That green salsa (avocado/chiles) that comes with it was very spicy. Shrimp ceviche on the other hand was whole pieces of cooked shrimp halved lengthwise with cut up avocado and cucumber. I have had better. The taquitos were okay, the exterior tortillas were a bit overcooked. Was impressed with the selection of tequilas however. Would recommend the anejo flight. I'm not a huge tequila expert, but discovered that I like El Tesoro Anejo, very smooth! Service was attentive and our server went out of his way to explain the difference between the various flights. I would come back to try the tequila again for sure!

    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!

    Came here by chance with a hunger inside me. Discovered a little gem! Looks iffy from the outside…read more It inside it clean, sunny, and smells warm and delicious. 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 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.
