What to Wear to Sol Food: Bay Area Puerto Rican Cuisine

Now that you know about my favorite Puerto Rican cuisine in San Francisco, it’s time to discuss what to wear to Sol Food. The setting is very casual. Sharing is caring at this Latin American cafetería and I’m not talking about the food. Prepare to dine at a communal table or along side an unfamiliar face at the counter or bar. But don’t think twice about it. By the time you take your first bite you’ll be “over it.”

Sol Food is located in Mill Valley in Marin County. Keep in mind that the temperature rises five to 10 degrees as soon as you cross the Golden Gate Bridge. Err on the side of caution and dress in laters. Open for business 10-9pm on the weekdays and 9-9pm on the weekends, patrons frequent the joint in an array of outfits. Some in workout clothes, scrubs, business attire, or play clothes. When I’m not in shorts, I’m in boyfriend jeans and a graphic tee.

You already know I overdress. What can I say, I am most confident when I like my outfit! Snag these striped shorts quick because they are only $14.90 and will go like hot cakes! I plan to dress them up with strappy heels and a blazer on another occasion. For today however, I am dressing them down with a flowing halter top and wedge sandals. I always keep a light jacket with me. You never know when Karl the Fog will make an appearance. Now go fill up on tostones and chicken and remember to order the pink beans!
