With a population of only 8,000, just off the northeastern end of the Golden Gate Bridge, lies the picture-perfect little town of Sausalito. I always feel more like I am in St. Tropez on the French Rivera, but with a slight bohemian vibe, rather than in a small town in Northern California. Sausalito is not only known for the beautiful scenery and spectacular views, but on a clear day the view of Alcatraz Island is a site to see. If you can tear your eyes away from the views for a moment, directly across the street on Bridgeway is a little touch of Mexico. Okay, so it's not a place to make a fashion statement, that is for sure. (Although I still had my Mui Mui sandles and matching clutch.) I waited about 15 minutes to be seated. That's about all I will wait anywhere! The food coming from the kitchen looked pretty tasty so I decided it might be worth it. There's nothing like the breathtaking view of the ocean, especially when you’re sipping on margaritas. And Salsalito makes a strong one, Mucho Fuerte! I think I felt tipsy after two sips, Cha cha cha! The margaritas made me forget that there are far too many tables and it's really quite cramped. I like space when I am eating and it's not an easy place to maneuver getting the kids in and out. The server was pleasant, informative and attentive. I had a steak taco, mole chicken enchilada and a cheese quesadilla. The steak taco was okay, I would have preferred the steak to be a little browned and wished it had a bit more flavor. It definitely needed salt. However, all of the ingredients tasted fresh and flavorful. The quesadilla cheese was perfectly melted and the tortilla was flaky and yummy. The pico de gayo, salsas and guacamole were delicious, and all tasted different from the next, which gave me a vast variety of flavor. The biggest surprise EVER was the chicken mole enchilada, Perfección! If you can’t get to Puebla, Oaxaca, Mexico or El Compadre in Hollywood, Salsalito will feed your mole craving. There is no doubt you will see me and my Mui Mui’s again eating mole and margaritas at Salsalito in Sausalito!
