While there is no affiliation and no known rivalry between the two restaurants, those of us in the North Bay have noticed that the patrons are the ones that have started to compare these two Puerto Rican restaurants and size them up against one another. Here's the rub.
| Address | 732 4th St, San Rafael | 400 Mendocino Street, Santa Rosa |
| Phone | (415) 451-4765 | (707) 542-8868 |
| Website | http://www.solfoodrestaurant.com/ | http://www.elcoqui2eat.com/ |
| Food | Puerto Rican | Puerto Rican |
| Atmosphere | Brightly colored walls and menus, communal tables, Puerto Rican music, order as you enter the restaurant and place your order number on the table. Great for take-out | Bar with televisions, Puerto Rican music, table service, spacious, good for bringing guests and leisurely meals. Also good for soccer games. |
| Service | Good. Friendly. Efficient. | Good. Friendly. Table-side. Relaxed. |
| Price | $ to $$$ | $$ - $$$ (slightly higher than the competition) |
Both places offer really authentic and fun Puerto Rican food. Staff are friendly. If I could combine the best of both restaurants, I would take the bread and salad from Sol Food and incorporate it with the juicy bisteca (steak) and salsa from El Coqui.
