Pretty solid spot for a quick lunch in Sausalito. After walking around the pier we were hungry but needed to catch a ferry back. I got a hibiscus margarita which was great and really refreshing with the hibiscus tea added while my friend got the sangria. Sangria was a bit watered down and flavorless. For food, I got the fried fish and sausalito (stir fried shrimp) tacos with rice and beans on the side. Tacos were solid and the rice & beans pretty flavorful. My friend is vegetarian and be warned they don't have good vegetarian options as we didn't see anything that was mushroom or tofu based for protein and he ended up getting a veggie tostada which was basically a tostada with lettuce and refried beans. The patio is nice to sit outside on a sunny day and overall not a bad choice for an easy lunch in Sausalito, especially when other options can get pricer.

What a warm and welcoming place! Excellent service and great ambiance and food. We really enjoyed our micheladas.

Tres Taco De Camaron Taco De Carne Asada Taco De Conchinita

With patio and outdoor seating, this taqueria is a short bike ride or walk from the ferry. The service was excellent, friendly waitstaff bilingual in Spanish and English. We got the three taco special and the shrimp quesadilla. Both of us loved the quesadilla and my friend preferred the carne asada tacos whereas I like the Baja tacos best. They bring out a little sauce platter with crema too which is nice. Without the salsa the tacos were not heavily seasoned but the salsa was good and spicy. Between the two of us it was about $25/person plus tip, so this is definitely more of a sit down and have a pleasant meal kind of taco shop with a Sausalito vibe. They had a chile relleno special with crab meat but it was $38 so I held back. I would come back and try more seafood items.

Everything we ordered was yummy! the best salsa verde ive ever had.

The staff are amazingly friendly and accommodating. Foods are so good. The best salsa verde ive ever had. The place is so beachyyy. Only thing is tables are too close to each other, just hard to move around but we still had a great time.

Taco De Carne Asada
Katie R.

A solid 3 star spot based on the food alone. We ordered 4 tacos, one was great, one was good, and two were pretty meh. I liked that they had the option to order tacos as a duo, trio, or as a plate, though the pricing didn't change as you got more or ordered a combo. There also weren't free chips, which is always a bummer, because what is dining at a Mexican restaurant without the chips? We ordered a taco duo and the perfect plate with the intention of having two tacos each and sharing the rice and beans. When the food came they also dropped off two salsas and some crema - unsure if this comes with all taco orders or just the plate. Great taco was the Taco De Pescado, this one was full of flavor and had plenty of crispy fish. Good taco was the Taco De Carne Asada, this one was loaded with beef and had a touch of spice, on its own it needed a little something more, but a spoonful of salsa and crema did just the touch to elevate this one. Meh tacos were both of the shrimp tacos, neither was really showing much flavor. The grilled shrimp taco got most of its flavor from the grill marks on the onion, but as soon as the flavor of the grill evaporated, which was very quick, the flavor was gone. Veggies for sure could've used some salt. The salsa and crema helped this one out a little bit, but it wasn't a $7 taco. Service was good and food came out quick. There was limited outdoor seating as well as "indoor seating" that still felt outside due to the wide open windows. We opted for the inside as it still felt outdoors, but gave you shade and more space. The vibe here was colorful and vibrant, with liveliness from the street and music. Wouldn't come out of my way to come back here, but if I did come back I'd order the Taco De Pescado and then try something non-taco related.

Snapper Fajitas
Kimmie H.

Decided to visit beautiful Sausalito after our hike and stumbled upon this popping gem. Not too sure why the ratings on Yelp aren't as high, so I'm glad I found this spot the old fashioned way because this was a great experience! The staff and vibes were just fun and vibrant. And as for the food, the snapper fajitas and skinny shrimp tacos was tasty! I wouldn't say it's the best Mexican food or authentic but it's still good. The drinks along with chips and salsa/ guac were so good on a warm day (the red salsa was bomb!) Also they're dog friendly!

Yelp J.

Meh .... average and waaaay overpriced. Total super overpriced tourist trap. The location of the restaurant and the service was good. I swear the black beans were straight from can to plate.

The couch was soft and pillows were plush. I was initially on the fence about accepting a free meal, but I am glad now that I was welcomed into such a vibrant atmosphere. The hospitality is a big plus. The crowds can get big in the evening, so I suggest making reservations ahead of time. The view of the Golden Gate Bridge is the big highlight as well as looking at the king fishers and blue herons. I wish they would add some aquariums. Would be a nice touch.

There place was packed but luckily we were able to find a high table for our party of 6. The view of the marina is nice and wish we found seating outside on their back patio for it. But we were a larger group and most of the seating out back were for parties of 2-4. You order your food first at the counter and then find your seat. Your orders will be delivered to your table. The menu is limited but everything we ordered was tasty. It was the weekend so it was busy and our food took awhile. Really liked the fried chicken sandwich and their truffle fries.

I ordered the 1/2 rotisserie chicken plate that came with potatoes and salad for $20.50. After getting my self serve drink, I decided to sit outside in the shade and the food arrived less than 15 minutes later. Not only was it an attractive meal, it tasted pretty good too! Actually, I was surprised it was so good. The 1/2 bird was nice sized and tasty (4). The Yukon gold potatoes and wild arugula were excellent tasting with a lot of flavor! Some salsa verde was added to use for the chicken for dipping purposes. I enjoyed this meal and for California pricing it was a deal. I like the casual vibe of The Joinery and would recommend it to anyone looking for a casual and affordable meal while in town. Getting the free drink for renting a Blazing Saddles bike saved a few dollars too!

After reading some reviews here I knew it was a small place, so I was pleasantly surprised I could get a reservation during our trip to Sausalito. My husband and I had recently enjoyed some caviar for the first time but we are no experts, and I was a little worried that he might not get enough to eat. Turns out we both left perfectly satisfied. The place is tiny but so elegant. The bar is right in front of the kitchen that is sparkling clean and the chef prepares everything right there. There is a little high top table too and there was a couple there when we arrived, but afterward it was just us and we felt like royalty treated to our private dinner. We aren't caviar experts by any means but Yo did a great job explaining the different caviar flights including where it comes from - turns out the white sturgeon is farmed in the Sacramento Delta. We chose the Menage a Trois white sturgeon flight and it was so elegant. Three kinds of caviar plus all these homemade breads and crackers to enjoy it with. Every bite was amazing and I think we only left a couple of chives. Afterward we picked a couple of other dishes - the Chawanamushi and the Dungeness crab ravioli. Both were exquisite- in flavor and presentation. For dessert we had the sweet potato - Yo described it as a ganache - which I couldn't really picture but it was a very accurate description. It came with asian pear and was just the perfect finish to our meal. I had a couple glasses of French bubbly with my meal - normally I can't do more than one glass of champagne but it was crisp and yummy and paired well with everything we ate. When we were finished we got our check in a cute sturgeon pulp science fiction book. It was the final thoughtful detail to a wonderful evening. Chef Lance is a real artist and he really thinks through the ingredients and the flavors. Everything was so delicious and creative. I hope we get to come back again someday.

After a couple of beers, I was thinking about switching to a martini and playfully asked the bartender, "How are your martini skills?" That was it. Instead of taking it in the lighthearted spirit in which it was intended--or even simply saying she didn't appreciate the question--the bartender reacted as though I'd said something deeply offensive. She walked away visibly upset and refused to serve me. What made the experience particularly strange was what happened next. The other bartender came over to find out what was going on. I explained exactly what I'd said and that there was no insult or disrespect intended; I was literally just opening a conversation about ordering a martini. Rather than defusing an incredibly minor misunderstanding, she doubled down, insisted that my question was somehow inappropriate, and reinforced the refusal to serve me. At that point, I left. I've spent plenty of time in bars and restaurants, and I can't remember another experience where such an innocuous interaction was interpreted with this much hostility. People misunderstand each other sometimes. Professional hospitality means giving a customer a reasonable benefit of the doubt, communicating like an adult, and resolving a minor misunderstanding--not immediately assuming ill intent and escalating it. What concerns me most is that this wasn't one bartender having an off moment. Both bartenders independently chose escalation over hospitality, which makes me wonder whether this reflects a broader culture problem. As a new neighbor, that's especially disappointing. I genuinely want the businesses in this neighborhood to succeed. But hospitality requires a baseline level of professionalism, emotional intelligence, and generosity toward customers. Based on this experience, I won't be returning.
