Customer Reviews
Delicious food, yummy tamales, best guacamole, my husband’s burrito was as big as his hand. Good prices, cheaper than the other places around.
After visiting the Sonoma Coast and Fort Ross, we started heading north on our way home. Being it was near 1 pm, we started looking for someplace to eat, and our research brought us to The Black Door. We stopped in on a Tuesday, which happens to be "Taco Tuesday". We were greeted and offered a seat wherever we liked, as the restaurant was not crowded. We chose a table in their enclosed patio. After perusing the menu, I landed on their Tomales selection. However, upon ordering, I was informed they did not have chicken Tomales available. So, I opted for three of the "Taco Tuesday" shredded chicken tacos, for $1.99 each. My wife ordered a vegetable taco and a fish taco. After a little wait, our food was brought. It was presented well and was what we expected. The food was presented
The food is here is simple and delicious! Lots of options for vegetarian and gluten free folks as well. (Note for my future self, while both the fish and shrimp tacos are excellent, you slightly prefer the shrimp. N prefers the chicken)
Cute little Mexican restaurant and bar. There is a main dining area, covered patio and outdoor seating. The chips and salsa are good! Margaritas are wine based and a bit too sweet for me. I ordered carne asada and chicken tacos, they were good. The staff are friend and the place is clean. Best to pay cash, it’s $1 extra to use your debit card. I’d definitely go back here!
I ordered the taco plate. I enjoyed all three meat selections (beef, pork and chicken). The chicken taco was my favorite. The rice and beans was pretty standard as was the chips and salsa. So the overall quality and quality was good. Filtered water is a nice touch. Service was a disappointment as there were only 2 tables being served when I was there. The only time I actually saw a server was when I placed my order, when the meal was brought to my table and when I paid my bill at the counter. Other than that•••the two servers just hid out in the back/kitchen. Needless to say I don’t leave tips for service, unless it’s deserving. Sorry for venting. I won’t be going back.
