"In Marin, “la comida criolla,” the food of Puerto Rico, is synonymous with Sol Hernandez, who holds down the fort at the San Rafael and equally popular Mill Valley restaurants. Don’t be surprised by the lines at both locations (they move fast) and queue up for mofongo and shrimp or pork chops and pickled pink onions. All combination plates are served with rice, beans, and fried green plantains with addictive garlic sauce. But be sure to add a splash of the house-made pique sauce, for an extra hit of spice." - Christina Mueller
