Best Mexican in town. Even in Novato, a small town that has a disproportionate number of Mexican restaurants. Authentic enough by Gringo standards: not a word of English spoken here during my last visit. But don’t let that interfere with the ambience, the friendliness of...Read More

Perhaps the best Mexican food in Novato - if not, it's close. The go-to dinner spot for my Dad and I. We've tried the other two Mexican places on Grant, at least, and neither is as good. Carmen's staff are always super friendly and the...Read More
