Marinitas Description:
Owned by chef and cookbook author Heidi Insalata Krahling of Insalata's restaurant (two blocks down) and her business partner Patrick Coll, Marinitas is a celebration of Latin flavors and Mexican design. To look at, it's frankly sensual. Huge semicircular booths are among the most comfortable in the county. The décor by artist and designer Michael Brennan features brick and stone walls playing to deep umber paint, ceiling beams, loads of folk art and communal tables. A thriving bar scene and good list of tequilas make this one of Marin's happening hang-outs. It's also one of the few restaurants in Marin open until midnight, every night. The menu features small plates such as first-rate fish tacos, empanadas, unusually good shrimp in a thick white garlic cream sauce and savory, Latin-inspired salads. There are daily-changing dishes such as feijoada, the Brazilian national dish of black beans and pork, or chicken mole, a classic from Oaxaca. Don't miss the fresh churros with bittersweet chocolate dip for dessert.
