About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Sebastopol, Martha's Old Mexico Restaurant serves up an authentic Mexican and Latin American dining experience that keeps locals and visitors coming back for more. From the moment you step inside, the vibrant atmosphere, detailed décor, and warm hospitality make it clear that this is no ordinary eatery—it's a celebration of rich flavors and comforting traditions.

The menu is a treasure trove of Mexican classics and standout specialties that invite both adventurous foodies and comfort-food seekers alike. Imagine savoring a hearty burrito bursting with savory fillings, or starting your day with the bold, satisfying flavors of Huevos Rancheros. The Seafood Relleños burst with freshness and spice, perfectly balanced, while the Chimichanga offers a crispy, indulgent delight. Don’t miss the Chili Verde or the vibrant Taco Salad with Pork, each bite layered with textures and spices that sing authenticity.

One of Martha’s true highlights is their complimentary chips & salsa, a perfect prelude to the meal with three distinct salsas that dance between smoky, tangy, and mildly spicy. The fajita salad combines fresh greens with sizzling grilled meats, enhanced by the richness of cheese enchiladas and classic chili rellenos—each dish prepared with evident care and tradition.

The drinks menu complements the food beautifully. Martha’s signature Sangria and the potent Sangria Bola are refreshing, fruit-forward options that transport you straight to Mexico’s vibrant plazas. For a twist on a classic, the Margarita With Agave Wine and the house-special MarthaRita offer perfectly balanced mixes of sweet, tart, and spirited flavors that brighten any meal. And for those seeking non-alcoholic refreshments, the Agua De Horchata is a creamy, cinnamon-laced delight—comfort in a glass.

The dining experience at Martha’s is equally special. Customers frequently praise the back patio—a secluded, garden-like oasis filled with whimsical charm, heating lamps, and soft lighting that create an intimate, romantic atmosphere perfect for quiet dinners or family outings. Inside, eclectic fruit-themed tables and charming décor, including imaginative woodland animal motifs, bring warmth and character that make you feel part of a festive celebration.

Longtime locals like Andrea Caron attest to Martha’s consistency and quality, calling it “comfort food that helped me get through” tough times. John Andersen’s family cherishes the generous portions and the inviting, playful environment, especially for young children. Jay A highlights the tranquil natural setting of the patio coupled with fantastic food as a reason to make Martha’s a stop on any California itinerary. And T M beautifully sums it up by recommending the 300-year-old chili Colorado recipe and the exquisite fish tacos—dishes that showcase Martha’s commitment to excellence and tradition.

In short, Martha’s Old Mexico is more than a restaurant—it’s a beloved culinary landmark in Sebastopol. Whether you seek rich, bold Mexican flavors or a cozy, enchanting setting that feels like a vibrant getaway, your visit here will leave a lasting impression on your palate and your heart.

    I have lived in Sebastopol for 25 years. Martha’s has always been the place to go to get excellent food. During Covid, their takeout was amazing. Comfort food helped me get through that awful time!! Thank you Martha’s! See you for lunch today.

    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!!!!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
