Martha's Old Mexico Restaurant sits comfortably on Sebastopol’s Main Street, offering a full-service Mexican dining experience that balances homey comfort with a touch of local charm. This spot is best suited for those who appreciate classic Latin American flavors served in a setting that feels both inviting and thoughtfully curated.

Inside, diners will notice the unique tables and chairs — with playful fruit-themed options that kids seem to love — while the real draw during warmer months is the back patio. This outdoor space, nestled among greenery and ambient lighting, creates a peaceful retreat from downtown bustle. It’s a natural choice for relaxed lunches or romantically lit dinners, where gentle heaters extend the season beyond summer.

The menu highlights traditional dishes with a twist. Standouts like the Huevos Rancheros and Seafood Relleños reflect hearty, authentic roots, while salads with fajita or pork options bring a fresh, lighter balance. Large portions, such as the veggie burrito or the carne asada Colima style, satisfy bigger appetites without feeling over-serving. Meals here often come paired with three varieties of fresh salsas, complemented by generous sides like hot beans, which add an unexpected layer of warmth to the meal.

Drink options lean into classic Mexican favorites, with reasonable prices on sangria, margaritas, and the house-special “MarthaRita,” making the restaurant a solid pick for casual celebrations or unwinding after a day exploring the North Bay.

Service is straightforward and attentive, matching the comfortable atmosphere rather than a formal dining room experience. Frequent diners seem to appreciate the steady quality and the way the restaurant blends traditional Mexican recipes with Sebastopol's relaxed vibe.

Martha’s Old Mexico Restaurant fits well for families, couples looking for a low-key date night, or groups craving solid, flavorful Mexican fare paired with a scenic outdoor spot. Midday to early evening visits, especially in pleasant weather, make the most of the back patio’s quiet charm. For locals and visitors alike, it offers a taste of Mexico with a distinctly Sonoma County sensibility.

Martha's had fantastic food and a great, home-y atmosphere (we sat out back on the patio). I got the roast pork plate (forgot the exact name) that was awesome. My wife got a veggie burrito that was excellent and very big. Prices were very reasonable.

If you ever in Sebastopol California, and you want some great Mexican food come to Martha’s the food the service the environment is great. From the sampler platter to the Martha’s old Mexico salad, to your tacos, burritos, enchiladas, they have it. They have a patio in the back, which is so secluded and beautiful, it’s all nature. However, the food is fantastic and delicious. You would love this place while enjoying delicious Mexican food. Always remember, love life, love food, and shut up and eat! #shutupandeat!

Came here on a recommendation from a friend and it did not disappoint. Decor: The enter restaurant has very unique tables and chairs. We sat inside on the fruit themed table per my toddler’s request but would highly recommend you sit outside on the back patio. It is very well staged and takes you to a little slice of paradise. We sat down and the chips came right away along with three salsas. They were very apparently made in house and freshly fried. We ordered the guacamole and it was one of the better guacs I have had. Freshly made with chunks of whole avocado which made for the best texture. For entries hubs and I ordered the Arroz Con Pollo Y Camarones and Pollo Loco. Both were full of flavor and the portion sizes were enormous. We ended up taking majority of the Arroz Con Pollo Y Camarones home to enjoy the next day. If you are looking for really good Mexican food with a great vibe, highly recommend Marthas.

The back dining area is very romantic with lighting and heaters for enjoying a romantic meal looking at the whimsical garden with fountain. On food, it's all excellent. For a large meal I recommend chili Colorado the recipe is 300 years old, really great. And then the fish taco..is perfection, many toppings it's beautiful with all this fancy salsa cheese special salsa its the best. Many special touches to your meal and dining experience are done at Martha's so you have an excellent time.

This place is a hidden gem!! I can’t believe I’ve not eaten here before today but that is definitely going to change going forward! As you can gather from my enthusiasm - the food was delicious! They gave me a cup of salsa and a cup of hot beans to start, and both were fabulous! The hot beans were a surprise for me, but were bursting with flavor. I devoured both. I got the lunch carne asada Colima and ate til I was stuffed… then ate the rest! It was fantastic. I’m already dreaming about going back The service was great as well - fast and very friendly.

We love this place and go out of our way to keep coming back! We always sit upstairs in the back dining area where their whimsical open garden is. Their food is fresh and there’s lots of choices choose from their large menu

We absolutely love Martha's for so many reasons! The food is outstanding... and trust me you get plenty, and we love the decor in the back seating area with the deer, rabbits & squirrels (not real but it makes a wonderful setting), especially if you bring young children!!! It's a regular for us when we want Mexican Food. The owner is absolutely as gracious as one can be!!!!
