A very unique place for Marin, this is a personal favorite. Sol Food is busy all day serving traditional Latin cooking amid lively, colorful digs. It's Puerto Rican comfort food with a modern twist. If you go, I recommend to start off with an order of "mariquitas" (fried plantain chips) with their tangy/hot sauce for the table.Rest assured that anything else you order will be just as mouthwatering and delicious.

Parks & Nature

At the end our our block you can access these amazing hiking and biking trails. Pacheco Valle (519 acres), Ignacio Valley, Loma Verde, and Indian Valley preserves form a contiguous band of undisturbed open space encompassing virtually the entire northern slope of eastern Big Rock Ridge. The slopes are steep, the canyons deep, and first-time visitors never fail to marvel at the expanses of rugged chaparral and woodland found here. Most of the fire roads that run through these preserves follow ridgelines, and all of the access routes are strenuous, but the spectacular views and the sense of solitude make the climbing worthwhile.
