Had dinner here a couple nights ago with friends. We started with the beet salad, which was terrific. Then we shared the fish tacos, which were fishy tasting and full of lettuce. Do not recommend. Our friends had the jerk chicken which was very tasty. We finished with the bread pudding, and that was also pretty lackluster. It looked like a lump of meat covered in gravy, and seemed like it may have been microwaved, with tough bits of bread around the edges that required a firm cut with a knife to get through. The sauce was ok, but not great. Do not recommend that dessert.Overall I really wanted to like this place, and I hope they can up their game on the dishes we tried. The servers are very good - friendly and efficient. And the outdoor seating was fine. May give them another try when they have the pork shoulder back on the menu - I hear that's really good.

Best slow cooked pork shoulder I've ever eaten and everything else was generous and tasty. Please support this local eatery!

Ate here once during Dining Under the Lights on a Thursday. Was very busy but they were very accommodating. Marianna was a real whipper snapper! The veggie quesadilla and the spicy shrimp/sauce were super yum.

We enjoy Whipper Snapper Restaurant food. thanks Whipper Snapper Restaurant for perfect service. thanks

Went here yesterday with my out of town friend. We had a delightful time, the food is good and the bar next door had live music. It all took place outdoors, get there early because it’s very popular.

Great service and a wonderful quality of food. The customer service alone is worth the return

Very nice food. Latin inspired.

Marina is a kind hard working, amazing food!!outdoor heater best food in San Rafael. Plantains are authentic. Fish tacos live music. Bill makes mind blowing experiences on my tongue.
