COTATI cont’d from page 15
It’s all outstanding Mexican fare in Cotati.
Fish and Chips? Yep. Head to Cotati for some of the finest in the county. There’s the classic rendition at Cape
Cod on Commerce with the beautifully rendered tartar sauce, succulent and moist coleslaw and jojo potatoes – heck, you could just go for coleslaw and potatoes
for snack even! Some folks around here might say fish and chips is the specialty of the house at Friar Tucks...they’d probably be right. The other half of restaurants around town serve the dish as well.
Thai? Tiny Thai’s exuberant flavors burst off the plates with a salivating aroma and strong profiles to their dishes. Lively and spicy eggplant and classically rendered curries are great here. Sweet Thai is the real deal too, with a beautifully rendered signature dish, Pad Thai, that is worth the drive.
Tacos at Cotija
Wings? Need some great wings to go with a party or a game on the TV? Forget the wing chains! I mean really, forget those guys. Get on over to the newly opened Wing Man for truly delicious options. There are dozens of choices and incredible fries!
Here’s the deal: When a hard-travelling food truck
chef makes it work, so well,
for so long, with so many fans down the road, and finally gets his own permanent digs, we should all take note. Yes, The Wing Man landed in Cotati with literally dozens of brews for beer lovers.
The One Piece lunch at Cape Cod
Diner? Now many of these
culinary traditions could be
rightly said to part of the classic American cuisine cannon; burgers, Chinese, Thai, etc. Yet one of the American traditions that is often overlooked by the high mucky mucks of gastronomic affectation is the lost child, the blue-plate diner. Cotati has a classic in Marvin’s. You could make a friend or two at the counter at Marvin’s by just mentioning the tasty nibbles there.
