Ordered on the phone for pickup. Ordered: - shrimp burrito with refried beans, no burrito sauce on top - combo plate with 1 chicken enchilada and sope gordo carne asada - guacamole with chips - horchata - tamarindo Food was very very good!! Worth the price in my opinion! You get a lot! We got to our spot and opened the bags to 4 bags of chips, a hefty container of guacamole and perfectly foil wrapped burrito plate and combo plate!

Cute family restaurant. Service was excellent for lunch. Tortilla chips come out with delicious avocado salsa, traditional red salsa and refried beans topped with cheese. Great start. She got the Smokey firey chipotle quesadilla which came with a generous serving or pico de gallo and guacamole. It was very, very tasty. I got the crab and shrimp enchiladas which were also delicious. Everything on the plate was very good, the black beans, rice and salad. The habanero pesto had a basil taste which was very nice and unexpected. It's easy to be a Mexican food snob in California, but this place has very good food and deserves to be packed with hungry patrons. We will be back.

Loved everything about this restaurant! I didn't know Sebastopol had it like this! HA! I was tardy to the party! I HIGHLY recommend for authentic delicious Mexican food! The service is very friendly and welcoming. They make you feel like family. It's large and beautiful inside, good for a large party, I would totally want my birthday dinner here! lovely pictures on the wall , the chairs and tables all beautiful! I love the aesthetic. Felt like I was fine dining in Mexico, (mind you I never been to Mexico) (lol) Food was sooo good!!! The menu is great, many things to choose from. I ordered the 1 item combo plate w/shredded chicken, green enchilada that came with rice and beans. Tasted so fresh!! My first bite literally warmed my soul!! Also, complimentary chips w/ refried bean dip & 2 different salas was yummmy! My friend got the chicken tortilla soup (it's huge) and said this is what you call real soup! was the best she ever had!! The broth was bursting with flavor and it was full of veggies. They gave us a little dessert. Not sure what it was called but it was delicious!! I WILL BE BACK!!!

I had dinner with friends and we all thought our dishes were delicious! I ordered the Shrimp Taco Salad, my friends ordered the Beef Carnitas, Luis' Special, and Tortilla Soup. They were so kind to treat us to Cheesy Tortilla Chips for an appetizer and Sopapillas for dessert!!

A Delicious Detour in Sebastopol While on a day trip north of San Francisco, we took a detour into Sebastopol for lunch. El Coronel was right there, and it looked like a good option because we had our little puppy with us. It was a beautiful afternoon, and they had outdoor seating available. El Coronel Mexican Restaurant was founded by Armando Coronel in 2002 and has been a part of Sebastopol's culinary scene since then. It has been a family-run operation for over two decades and serves tasty Mexican cuisine. El Coronel is known for their sizzling fajitas, delicious combinations, flavorful tacos, and burritos. They have a beautiful patio with a complete outdoor bar. The interior is beautifully designed and looks comfortable for individuals and small and larger groups. We started with an order of Guacamole, their House Margarita, and Hibiscus Tea. The Guacamole was freshly made, and there was plenty of it! We enjoyed the combination of fresh guacamole and chips. The drinks were good, too. We decided to share a Parrillada (which means Grilled in English) for the main dish. There was plenty of food. The meats (Beef, Pork, and Chicken) were all fresh, done right, and flavorful. It came with a plate of rice, beans, guacamole, sour cream, and fresh tortillas. I could not leave without trying their flan and was very happy I didn't! It was one of the better flans I have had in a while. The staff was very attentive and friendly. A gentleman, who I think may have been the owner or manager, stopped by our table and asked how we were doing. He was very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our experience, and as we left, I made a mental note to come back and try their Molcajete! It looked very good!

we had a fantastic dinner: food was great service was prompt and incredibly courteous. They let me sample the hibiscus and Tamarindo drinks which were delicious and refreshing. The crab and shrimp pesto enchiladas were unique and delicious at the same time. The entire staff was most accommodating, I recommend this restaurant 100%
