At the the turn of the century, our family had the vision of becoming the best authentic Mexican Restaurant in Sebastopol, and quite possibly, all of Sonoma County. In 2002, we were able to make that vision a reality. Since then, we have had the honor of living out our passion and serving an amazing community.
We believe our Mexican Cuisine (with a California twist), in-house salsas and sauces, and our perfectionism are what keeps our customers coming back time and time again. Don’t just take our word for it though, come down and try it for yourselves! We’ll be ready to serve you… With a smile under our masks, that is!
Easygoing, colorful eatery offering familiar Mexican eats, plus margaritas, beer, 2 bars & a patio. Based on 477 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.4 stars. Price $$

Despite having lived here [forever], we had never visited this restaurant before. I’m not sure why. We came as a request of the birthday girl who was celebrating her 80th birthday!

Very happy with the food and service here Maricela really made us feel welcome and explained so much about the food and recommended several dishes that were delicious. My favorite was the Chile relleno and also the al pastor taco. If you like heat, ask for the diabla sauce, it is very spicy. Also, two thumbs up for the home cooked chips and three different dips. Can’t wait to go back and try more.

El Coronel has been our favorite restaurants for dining out since it opened. The staff is always friendly and delightful. The service is usually very quick. The atmosphere is always inviting and warm. The decor is delightful and pleasant to the eyes. We have really enjoyed the addition of the outside dining patio during the warmer spring and summer months. The food is delicious and El Coronel has such a variety items on the menu that even after many years of dining here we have yet to sample every dish. El Coronel is one of our top restaurants of choice when dining out with our friends. You can’t go wrong to with choosing El Coronel for a delicious enjoyable dining out experience with family and friends.

Very happy servers and authentic atmosphere. I pigged out on a giant burrito, stuffed my face with chips & salsa then ate a giant fried ice-cream. The ice-cream was heavenly. I was a little surprised at the prices on the food – but I guess it’s comparable to most restaurants around town these days. Also, BEAUTIFUL Mexican hand crafted color tables and chairs….LOVE.

Great food and service!I love going in here. The food is always great. You get chips, salsa and beans when you sit down. The food seems really fresh. The tableside guacamole we had today was so good! I’ve never seen more perfect avocados. The tortilla soup had tons of veggies and tasty chicken. My kids were happy with their steak quesadilla and burrito. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area.

Very nice stop along the road to the beach. Beautiful patio on nice day, clean bathrooms, friendly staff, great food with healthy portions. TIPS: If you don’t have plans or room for doggie bags, order lightly, portions are very big, and eat outside if you can.
