Love this place. Ive had 6 different things on the menu and i loved all of them, especially the beef mole and the papusas. Tastes like food someones mother would make at their home. Probably my favorite restaraunt in novato right now. Couldnt recommend it enough.

My son in law told me about this Cocina after I told him I was going to another place to pick up a burrito for lunch and I'm glad he did! It was truly authentic, Central American cuisine (not that I really know what that is, but it didn't taste like your standard Mexican fare). I had the chicken burrito and like everything you might think that goes into a burrito, this had it but, believe, the taste is amazing! I took my lunch on a hike up to Olomapli State Park - figured I needed to earn the feast...about a mile and a half, I stopped for lunch and the whole experience was fabulous! Could only eat 1/2 so tomorrow, another feast! I highly recommend!

Just had the best burrito I have had in a very long time! The multi flavors melded so nicely. The wait staff was very friendly. Great find!

Ordered #13 Plate Antigua for 26.99. The plate has steak, shrimp, chicken, longaiza, beans, rice, avocado, and salsa. Got 3 pieces of tortillas, 3 pieces of shrimp, 1 longaiza, a thin slice of chicken, and a big slice of bistek/steak. Everything tasted really good. The shrimp, chicken, and beans were flavorful. My husband and I shared this meal, and we ended up ordering extra tortillas. My son ordered Al Pastor, and he said it was really good.

I had a super steak burrito on three separate occasions and throughly enjoyed the burrito every time. Top 5 burritos I've ever tried and I've tried most of them from the bay, says a lot. The meat has a nice smoky flavor and the hananero salsa was on point

I like this place and I like the humility you feel at the moment entering is not a very spacious but pleasant and comfortable place to enjoy something traditional of Guatemala

This was some of the best food I've had in a while - if I lived nearby I'd come here all the time. My favorite dish was the "Garnachas" which is something I'd never had before - they were like mini street tacos made with small fried (but still soft) tortillas. We got a second order to take home even though we were already stuffed. The fried plantain and beans, and the Plate Antigua were also excellent. Everyone who worked there was very friendly.
