mention san rafael to anyone in SF and you will inevitably hear: "have you been to Sol Food? it's so good!" it really is a local rite of passage.
even Bad Bunny brought his entire crew here during his 2022 tour, so don't worry mami, the food has a stamp of approval.
i am a creature of habit and love a saucy dish, so i always order the Camarones Criollos - ask for 1 tostones/1 maduros, and add extra shrimp (everyone at the table will want a bite).
if the plate is too much and want the insider take, get the Shrimpy Burrito (mm...the red sauce) off the "not-so-secret" menu, which is exclusive to the san rafael location. bad bunny ordered the Mofongo Relleno de Camarones, if you wanted to know. see the camarones!!

“a spot that resonates deeply with my friends who were raised in mill valley, sensibly. last year, i had the pleasure of scooping up my very first mofongo: a pile of saucy creole prawns sautéed with garlic, onion, and tomato, served over mashed green plantain and avocado. we ate on her childhood patio just a few turns up the road, overlooking the curves of mount tamalpais.”

“oh my, so many delicious things. pollo al horno with pink beans, camarones empanizados (cilantro mayo - yum), bistec sandwich, ponche, coco-piña smoothie, and so much more. grab a bottle of pique and salad dressing to go.”
