    Delicious food, friendly service, and comfortable atmosphere. This is one of our favorite spots. The macho burrito with grilled chicken and red sauce is great.

    I've wanted to visit Panchitos for a while. Restaurant has been in business for 40 plus years. The original owners retired in 1999 and sold to their employee, Leo Limeta. Leo greeted us upon our arrival for lunch. He is was so welcoming and friendly. He promptly seated us and took drink orders, returning shortly with drinks and chips and salsa. Opting for burritos (the burrito menu alone is extensive), we were told that they come in both a medium and large size. The medium is quite generous and more than I could eat. The restaurant was a bit hard to find. It sits in back and around the corner from Scotty's Market, in a small shopping center that is quite busy. Once we found the restaurant, there was plenty of parking. There's a reason Panchitos has been in business for so long. You can count on a delicious meal at a fair price, and a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. We will be visiting again soon.

    Great Mexican food with a very customer centric staff. When my wife and I are in the San Rafael area we always eat here.

    2 enchiladas (1 beef, 1 cheese), rice & refried beans.

    Panchitos is the best in food, -plenty of it. Always friendly & attentive service & a very comfortable, relaxing atmosphere with Mexican music to add to the ambiance. They remember their customers & well, you just feel at home. Thank you Leo & team

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.

    Cascabel is one of my favorite bars in San Rafael…read more I came here various times with friends and always have had a great time. 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!

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.
