    I've never been to Mexico, but I imagine this to be exactly the flavor of Mexican food. They don't take reservations, so we came earlier on a Wednesday night and there were only two other tables filled, which got busier as the night went on. As a Californian, I eat loads of tacos quite frequently but after eating here I truly felt like I understand the flavors of Mexican cuisine. I don't know how to explain it honestly but the textures, the ingredients, the flavors just scream "authentic Mexican food". My fiance and his mom both love mole and they say this is one of the best mole places they've been to. The service was average! They were helpful, and nice :) can't wait to come back!

    Amazing chocolate cake with flan on top and ice cream scoop

    Came for lunch early on a Thursday. Warmly greeted, menu, silverware and their wonderful fresh watermelon on the table immediately. Came quickly to take drink order and food order soon after I put the menu down (took me a while with so many great choices). Service was warm and friendly throughout. Started with a watermelon aqua fresca - they had horchata, hibiscus, pineapple, and cucumber available. Tasty and nicely sweet. I love that their free starter is healthy - fresh seasoned watermelon on toothpicks instead of the usual chips and salsa (not to worry they do sell chips and guacamole). I ordered one of the specials - eloté quesadilla plus one fish and one pork taco. They use high quality ingredients including beans that my chef friends rave about, making their own tortillas, plus good fish and other proteins. This also means that prices match the quality. I was perfectly happy to pay $7 each for delicious amazing fresh tacos. I got three, and I've paid more than $21 for meals not anywhere near this good. Flavors were amazing - fish was incredibly tasty with fresh avocado, delicious sauce all on their signature blue tortilla. Pork with habanero was nicely spicy but not overwhelmingly hot. Eloté was cheesy and fresh corn and the spice blend made it decadent. I also asked for salsa and got a yummy avocado green and a medium/hot habanero both delicious. They also had chocolate flan and rice pudding for dessert. I was full but couldn't resist the layer of chocolate cake spiked with a little orange with flan on top and ice cream - also delicious and not crazy sweet or heavy. My other thing I look for is nice bathroom, this was clean, in good shape and smelled good. I didn't see a gender neutral one but either was open for anyone to use. If you are anywhere near here and like high quality Mexican food prepared right with delectable flavors - GO. It was so good I almost wanted to tell anyone who came to look at the menu near the door to make a good decision and go in :).

    Wasn't expecting this delicious art food coming out of this unassuming place! Great tacos! Service was friendly.

    Potato flautas w outrageously delicious "tomato" sauce

    As usual we vegetarians delight in finding well thought out dishes that are healthy, satisfying and balanced. Went to quiotes for the first time in quite a while and boy were they still on point! Flavor, presentation, service just everything was really lovely. Potato flautas with what our server sweetly called "tomato" sauce was great. That sauce tho, was out of this world delicious. Creamy and crisp, mmmm with the nice salad on top quite a nice dish, and plenty to share with my husband! He had some wonder fish tacos and the sope hongo! Wow what a great combo of mushrooms and black beans so full of flavor! We'll be back very soon.

    Lunch with chicken mole enchiladas and Rancho Gordo pinto beans cooked in its' own broth

    Great service and delicious mole enchiladas with lots of texture. The chicken and edges of tortillas were slightly crunchy and the mole sauce was sweet. You really need something salty to round it out. We shared their Rancho Gordo pinto beans to go with the mole and the saltiness was a great complement to the mole's sweetness. Otherwise it would be too sweet for lunch. This place gets crowded at lunchtime. Come early!

    My girlfriend brought me here for a bday lunch (she comes here frequently as a local). Our service was splendid- friendly & quite helpful with our ordering. My friend loved her Sangria & I was impressed with the local beer I had. The watermelon with tajin is brought as soon as you are seated which we found quite refreshing. The guacamole was super fresh and the two accompanying salsas delicious (I loved the spicy one). I had a vegetarian taco with grilled mushrooms- so yummy. Fresh food & excellent service!

    I thought that I had finished this review until it came up that I was not finished. I stopped in with my mother for lunch. She had the fish taco and I had a burrito. I don't remember the exact names of them. Both of them are very good And we enjoyed the meal quite a bit. The wait staff were very helpful and moved my mom's walker over to the corner so it wasn't in the way. The restaurant was small, but comfortable. The acoustics in the room were also good not too noisy.

    Quixote is my new favorite Oaxacan restaurant! The mole is beautiful, with rich complex flavors that are balanced perfectly. When you smother a chicken enchilada in that mole, and top it with tangy crumbly cheese and some light greens, it's a damn near perfect dish. Those enchiladas are a 10/10. Everything else I've tried is very good as well. The street burrito special was a real treat. Somewhere between a burrito and a quesadilla, it was very satisfying with a good crisp on the tortilla. The family that runs this restaurant is so friendly. Food came out fast and there were no mistakes with our order. What I love the most is that while the food quality is top notch, the atmosphere is 100% casual. They won best Mexican restaurant in Sonoma County last year, so it's really no surprise. You really need to try Quixote!

    One of the best tacos I've had in the bay area. The service was wonderful, staff was friendly and quick to bring out drinks and food. The atmosphere is very warm and inviting. The food quality will make me go back anytime I am in the area. The dedication to authentic flavors are apparent in every mouthful.

    What a wonderful taste of authentic Mexican food in a fantastic setting, with excellent service and staff! A great way to sample and taste some signature dishes, like the Milk cheese tostado, the different varieties of a flavorful tacos with pulled meats, handmade chips, handmade tortillas, homemade guacamole, and a large variety of Cervezas and mixed drinks. Overall, this was a five star experience and highly recommend trying out this place for a taste of real Mexican!

    Came in on a Tuesday around 5:30. The restaurant is open and has s nice ambiance. After reading several yelp reviews we decided to order the sangria and the keg slayer IPA and the guacamole and chips. The sangria was nice and yummy. The beer was good. The guacamole was nice and a good portion. The chips were good too!! The two accompanying salsas really hit the spot. For our entree we ordered the fish taco with beans and the barbacoa taco and the street burrito. The fish taco was fantastic!! Cooked to perfection stuffed into a blue corn tortilla. Beans were nicely seasoned and also yummy. The barbacoa taco was served on a blue tortilla and was thoroughly enjoyed. and the street burrito...delicious: ) Not disappointed with this choice as we are in a new city with work. Our server was very nice and we didnt feel rushed with our meal.

    Special taco (bottom) - Excellent Al pastor (top) - Very good

    Enjoyed this sit down Mexican spot for lunch recently. Specializes in tacos and mole enchiladas. Beer available. Service was warm, and the food is delicious! By the numbers: Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 4/5 Value 4/5 Chips and guac - Excellent. A bit expensive and packs some habanero heat. Fish taco - Excellent. Grilled black cod. Al pastor - Very good. Unconventional with minimal achiote and no pineapple.

    Looks for a place that has solid Mexican food and not a hole in the wall. Quiote delivered at all levels. Great service, great flavors, lovely ambiance. We had the guac and chips, a MUST! If they bag it and sell it in stores I'll be stocking up. So good. We then asked the lovely server to give us 6 of their favorite tacos. Each had great flavors, good size and decently priced. The only drawback was the price of margaritas ($15) which felt more like an upscale bar price versus a family style restaurant. Ended up with beer ($5.5). I will for sure go back and try their larger dishes.

    Yelp showed clearly said dogs allowed. Drove here for 30 minutes only to find they didn't. Not even an ounce of apology for inconvenience.
