EL Brinquito is a family-owned Mexican market, meat store, and restaurant. It is known for the best burrito and best al pastor in the area. They serve excellent barbecued chicken, especially on weekends, cooked fresh out front. The meats, including chicken and pastor, are delicious and their tortillas, sauces, and tamales are amazing. The food is super fresh and reasonably priced. The friendly folks provide quick service. It is a must-stop for a Mexican rostisserie chicken feast or tacos. They recommend bringing a cooler for purchased meat. You will not be disappointed.
It’s the kind of neighborhood market where the food is made with care, the vibes are warm, and you feel lucky to have it nearby. I may not live next door anymore, but El Brinquito still lives rent-free in my heart (and my stomach). If you know, you know — and if you don’t, go fix that immediately.

Best barbecue chicken ever! Get a quart of salsa to go with!

It's the best roast chicken in Sonoma, and definitely in contention for best chicken in the Bay.
