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 the staff, and of course, the great food.

They have this wonderful tortilla with ice cream (Sopapillas) to sing birthday to our friend! Thanks a lot! It was amazing and delicious!

This is one of my favorite Mexican spots in Novato and the great news is that they are back and open for outdoor seating! When I found out I had to go back and get some great tacos! The Shelter in Place order had me yearning for some great local dining and Carmens fit the bill. They are nice as always and the food was as good as I had remembered it! The cool thing is that they served breakfast all day on the weekends! My son got an awesome omelet (it was huge) and I got some tacos (no surprise there) and it was great to be outside in Downtown Novato enjoying the fresh air and great meals. I had to go back yesterday actually for another dose of great food. If you like great local Mexican dishes, this is your jam! Edit 05/24/22: Don't forget the Taco Salad and Tequila! :-P Edit 11/11/22: Been back several times and it's still delicious!!!

Delicious Food and Excellent Service at Carmen's La Hacienda On our recent visit to Carmen's La Hacienda in Novato, we had another enjoyable experience. Having been there three times over the past eight years, we were happy to find the quality and atmosphere as delightful as ever. We decided to sit outside, taking advantage of the beautiful weather. The outdoor seating was comfortable and offered a relaxed ambiance, perfect for a casual Sunday lunch. We started with guacamole and chips. The guacamole was fresh and bursting with flavor. I chose a cold Mexican beer while my significant other enjoyed a hibiscus tea. For my main course, I opted for the Carne Asada plate. The thinly sliced steak was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. The accompanying refried beans were rich and delicious. My significant other ordered the Quesadilla Suiza, which was generously filled with melty cheese, making for a satisfying and comforting meal. The service was outstanding. Our server, a young man, was both professional and attentive throughout our visit. His friendly demeanor and prompt service added significantly to our positive experience. This visit solidified why we have returned to Carmen's La Hacienda. The consistent quality of the food, the pleasant ambiance, and the excellent service make it a top choice for Mexican cuisine in Novato. We left feeling completely satisfied and already looking forward to our next visit.

It was a good Mexican restaurant the atmosphere was there to have a lunch with the family, portions were big and they give you free warm chips with salsa verde and roja. The service was a little slow, we had to go the counter to pay because the server wasn’t around.

I had shrimp tacos. It was mostly lettuce. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Worst Mexican food I have tasted in a long time.

Tried this place for the first time today, 6/22/22, and I started eating a regular burrito with Al Pastor. There Al Pastor was okay, didn’t have a lot of flavor compared to everywhere else I’ve eaten. I’m about halfway through the burrito, when I look down and see a bug in my food, about the size of a grain of rice. I then start checking the burrito and find 3 more inside. Immediately puked when I saw it cause if I found 4 in the second half, how many did I ingest. Please triple check your food if you have to eat here.
