Puentez Taqueria: Authentic Mexican Flavors in San Rafael

she got the mini with shrimp and cactus, I had one with grilled chicken. Yum. Fast.

I got the Carne Asada “Deluxe” burrito for $15. Burritos be getting pricey everywhere honestly but local joint beats a Chipotle, for me. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ overall taste, was very delicious and it was pretty big, it had a fair portion of meat but wish it had more. The flavors were balanced and savory but it lacked in spice for someone who really enjoys spicy (and it was extra spicy they said). For me it beats something like Chipotle in flavor and price. There’s a 10% discount if you are a local student in the area.

Good burritos but definitely overpriced. I got an average sized, “super” bean burrito w/guacamole for $10. Their reddish colored beans are good but just be prepared to spend about $15 if you eat meat and like sour cream or guacamole because they aren’t included on the super.

Outstanding lunch! Great food, fast service and friendly employees. Best of all, it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg!

I must leave for my friends at Puentez Taqueria. Parking is difficult however there is overflow parking behind the Taqueria. The food is served quickly but expect lines around lunchtime. I captured this photo near the rear employee-entrance which has a great view of the San Rafael canal. Can't recommend this place enough!

So when I walked in, the line was all the way back to the door. The individuals behind the counter weren’t taking orders, they were CHECKING IN on their customers. They knew what people wanted and how to do it quick. I’ve never been here before so i asked the gentleman making burritos, to make me his burrito. He did just that and then told me i needed to come back and try the others. I’m currently so full i can’t move… i can’t wait to try the next burrito

Puentez is the absolute best. I may be slightly biased because I have been coming here since high-school just like so many others. Puentez always knocks it out of the park. The Hernandez family is always so kind and accommodating to every guest that walks through the door. Thank you Puentez team for the amazing service and delicious food!

My partner and I came into the location today on a whim. We were pleasantly surprised. We loved our super burrito and horchata. Both were delicious and some of the best we have had in the area for sure. Will definitely be coming back to this location in the future!
