Puerto Rican cuisine is known for its humble character, a blend of flavors from the European Spanish, Native Americans and imported Africans who settled this American commonwealth. In Matin county, “la comida criolla” — the food of Puerto Rico — is synonymous with the Sol Food restaurants and their co-owner and chef, Sol Hernandez. A San Rafael institution for 10 years, Sol Food recently opened an outpost in downtown Petaluma. Like its well-established big sister up north, it has a kinetic energy, a welcoming spirit and a line out the door.

Easy Rider’s packed dining room belies its refined menu, which provides Petaluma diners with Southern cuisine, but stepped up a notch or two. With dishes such as fried chicken, hushpuppies, and collard greens, everything seemed to be slightly different, and most definitely elevated. The attention to detail does come at a cost. Sourcing quality ingredients means the prices at Easy Rider are not what you would find at a diner in the Bayou, but are well worth the experience!
