rehearsal dinner catering in San Rafael?

My fiancee and I are getting marries in San Rafael this May and are looking for some catering options for around 50 people. I am most interested in getting something authentic. We have thrown around Paella or a taco truck- mediterranean might be nice too. Living in SF, I know nothing about SR. I apologize for the vagaries but I am really starting from square one so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Any favorite Mexican/Salvadorian joints in the SR area? Thanks for all the suggestions so far!

      Sol Food (Puerto Rican) catered a 40-50 person party for me recently with excellent results. We had chicken, rice, beans, maduros, and green salad. The food holds and travels well and makes a great casual buffet.

        If you're looking for a paella caterer, you'll want to get in touch with Gerard's Paella.

          Already booked for that day, was one of our first thoughts, I may look into ZUZU in Napa. I have heard good things about Gerard's

            Too bad. For Mexican, specifically from the Yucatan, then you want to get in touch with Mateo Granados of healdsburg. He's got a mobile catering kitchen with a full size stove. The cochinita pibil made with local pastured pork has been a hit. Click on the link below for more info.

          Both Falafel Hut and Sabor of Spain offer catering options. I can not vouch for the quality, but you can check them out.
