Sol Food - San Rafael

It's always a great experience eating at Sol Food. A piece of the Caribbean in San Rafael!!!!

I’ve wanted to try Sol food for a while, and it did not disappoint—fantastic food, service, and ambiance. I can’t recommend it enough. I had the daily special, fried fish, and the bread pudding dessert. I also had the Cafe Helado, an excellent sweet iced coffee with a splash of milk.

Outstanding food, and i could (well did) eat the hot sauce with a spoon.

San Rafael Location…My husband and I were in SF on business. We travel often on business and whenever possible we look to try a local Puerto Rican restaurant, especially because we only have one back home and it’s ok.I’m from Puerto Rico, ?? I LVE Puerto Rican food! The food at Sol Food was delicious! Everything tasted fresh and made to order. Don’t recommend the mofongo, however, everything else was REALLY good! It was our first t experience with shared, “community seating” and it was very nice, great vibe, music and very friendly staff! We did have to stand in line for a few minutes but Sofie came out to greet us, handed us menus and went over the menu with us. Super friendly and professional! My husband ordered half chicken combo and I ordered the steak combo which both included rice beans, tostones and a nice salad! We added a side of avocado, plus I ordered their chicken soup and also, cafe con leche! Everything was delicious!!! They have a unique menu they don’t serve empanadas, pastelillos or any of the typical fried appetizers.They also have a take out only side next door with a small market. Very smart business model.1 hour drive from San Francisco to San Rafael was definitely worth it! We will definitely be back! Special thank you to Sophie for her warm hospitality!??top notch! Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options. Kid-friendliness: Friendly, family atmosphere. Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, easy wheelchair access.

I order from here at least once or twice a month. The food is always great. Today, when I ordered half a chicken, they accidentally placed an order for a whole chicken. When I got there, the whole chicken was ready, and they got very upset that I didn’t want to take it. The lady at the front was not friendly or nice at all. I don’t understand why they got so upset that I wanted to stick to my original order.
