8 Best Latin American Restaurants near San Rafael

“This is a gem worth discovering with accessible inexpensive pay parking!This is a well run and managed restaurant with terrific food and staff. Ate late lunch with family. Greeted by an "ambassador" who shared the process of ordering before seating. There is an extensive menu with great options.We had a large salad, a beef sandwich with salad/French fries for a child, and the half rotisserie chicken with black beans, rice, and amazing fries. Fresh squeezed OJ was served in a large Kerr jar and worth every penny. Portion sizes were large and we observed many people sharing plates. Food had good savory flavor!The atmosphere felt authentic in this smaller establishment where different groups shared tables. At our table there was a continually changing projection of what I assumed to be Puerto Rico as if you were looking out a window. Tables have different types of chairs reminiscint of old fashion small neighborhood businesses.Completely accessible entry and bathroom.Parking: Parking is in a lot behind the building with accessible spaces. Lot seemed to be city owned serving several businesses. Very affordable - like less than $2 for two hours. Cheap compared to every other area parking we experienced.Kid-friendliness: Friendly staff added to positive child experience.Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible with no barriers for entry, seating or bathroom.“

“When I went there, they had no lines and the churros were only $2.84 for 3 churros. They were very kind to me and quick to serve. I was craving for churros and started searching. Lo and behold, there is a churro restaurant just exclusively churros set aside sandwiches and smoothies but now I know there is a churro place when I am craving for churrosParking: Good luck finding a place to park as their parking lot is a shared lot.“

“Just had a great dinner at Whipper Snapper. The warm spinach salad is so delicious. Like lick the plate delicious. We also had the sliders, which were very tasty. Love the passion fruit mousse for dessert. And the Pilsner on tap is really really good. Will go back again soon. What a wonderful local gem. Let’s support them!“

“Everything it’s great about this restaurant. The food it’s amazing. Portions are big. Totally recommend. Fast. Friendly. Sometimes you have to wait for a table, because it’s so crowded. But it’s worth it. I complain about the coffee every restaurant I go. Even fancy one. But their coffee it’s super good ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“You would miss this gem if you weren't looking for it. Glad we found this place!The pupusa was so yummy and fresh with the perfect amount of salad and salsaThe chicken quesadilla was huge! And so fillingThe horchata was nice and flavorfulThe passion fruit drink was also delicious with the little crunchy bitsWhile we waited for our food we explored their shop and got some goodiesExcited to go back and try more things!“

“Sol food was yummy and very comforting. We got the vegetariano from the combination options and got maduros, mariqitas from the plantain options. The combo plate was so soothing to our palates and every plantain option was divine! I'm more of a fan of ripe sweet plantains so maduros were my fave, closely followed by mariqitas which was fried raw plantain with an awesome dipping sauce. Dine in was available only in the San Rafael location and was not an option in the Mill valley location. We took the food to go and found a picnic spot nearby. Parking was easy to find, probably because we went during the late afternoon.“

“Taco Jane's is a quaint restaurant with an energetic and friendly waitstaff, and food that is well worth the mid-range Marin County prices. Beers on tap, indoor and outdoor seating, and the occasional bard with guitar and amp posted near the entrance give this place a fun and relaxing feel. They have many vegan friendly options. I recommend the jackfruit tacos when they are on special.“
