    Dinner menu
    Heather H.

    Fantastic fresh dinner with the whole family. We had a variety of tacos: fish, shrimp, steak and Calafia (pork) they were all delicious, fresh, well filled and the salsa fantastic. We shared a good guacamole with chips and the kids chicken tenders with tatter-tots was amazing and made the little ones very happy. Finishing all off with a great churro and ice cream desert was a meal that will be repeated in the near future. Glad we stepped in here and might even try you for breakfast.

    Calafia Omelet was delicious. And that verde salsa was a great compliment!

    We were greeted and seated immediately. Not a huge restaurant yet the large amount of seating with plenty of space between is comforting. Romeo was our server. We ordered the Calafia Benedict with verde salsa, country potatoes, and 2 sides of sourdough toast (as we were splitting this ahead of our Mt. Diablo hike). It was delicious, light and clean. Happy with all the veggies in it. And the chorizo and hot link were not greasy yet brought together the south with our southern neighbors. We enjoyed the experience and look forward to returning.

    Came here with Hubs for a late breakfast a few weeks ago as he couldn't stop raving about it. The restaurant was almost full and snagged a table by the window. Upon looking at the menu, many items they make in house, I instantly knew what I wanted. Chilaquilas. The last time I had it good was in Cabo. Other places I've tried was always lacking something. This place was not. It was fire . I went with the green sauce, supposively LESS spicy. I was sucking back on my teeth bc it did have a lot of heat. I still finished it despite the burn bc it was THAT good. Hubs agreed. The special coffee with cinnamon and raw sugar, kept hot in the clay/ ceramic mug was tasty too. I was surprised how it didn't need any cream or added sweetner. The play was very clean, and floors swept after each customer, even the restrooms. Will try other things this weekend, bringing the whole fam.

    Verde CHILAQUILES,  TRADITIONAL BENEDICTS & Cafe de Olla

    Always looking for a new brunch spot near the Central Valley and this place did not disappoint. From the drink selection that included Cafe de Olla to the traditional food overall experience was great.

    Just moved to the area. Upon arrival the patio was full. Inside there were a few guest enjoying their meal. The ambiance was nice. Two tvs with games on. Nice bar with drinks well presented. We were greeted at entrance and immediately seated. They offered regular coffee and café de ollo. The café was amazingly delicious with the cinnamon taste. We ordered chilaquiles with carnival, strawberry/ banana French toast with country potatoes, tres leches pancakes and kids chicken tenders with fries. Everything was so good. The portions were sizable. The chilaquiles with two over easy eggs and avocados was exceptional. We will definitely be coming back.

    Great place to come. It was hopping! Lots of people and it was a fun atmosphere. Our server was super attentive and the salad came quickly before the food. We split a garden salad. It has lots of pecans. They also split it on two plates for us. Nice! Blackened salmon unfortunately came out not blackened. Somehow a mix up. It was good, just missing the spices. The mashed potatoes were not creamy and seemed dry, but the green beans were excellent. Juliet's favorite bacon burger was huge! It had a lot of bacon on it and yummy. The burger could have been seasoned with salt or other seasoning. It was a bit bland. The garlic fries were the best! They weren't too crunchy or too soft. Perfect. The taste was so good. The carnitas taco and fish taco might be better but unfortunately came out cold. Overall the stuff on it was a great mix. The chipotle sauce was not too spicy and really added to the flavor. The double tortillas allowed me to catch all the fillings and gave me an extra taco! Overall we enjoyed it. Just a few suggestions to improve a great place to stop by for dinner. Thanks again to the excellent staff who treated us so very well!

    Three tacos with strawberry lemonade
    Tasha R.

    I came by after a late flight to town from work travel. I was craving some tacos and a refreshing drink. I saw on their website they had a Monday special for 3 tacos with a drink for $15. To my surprise, they said they did not have any specials so I just paid for the three taco plate and lemonade drink. It is a bit pricy for just three tacos without any sides like beans and rice or chips. The three tacos I got were steak, carnitas, and calafia. The best one was carnitas as it had the most flavor, second calafia, and last steak which had little to no flavor. The salsa was good and had a little spice which I liked. I also enjoyed the strawberry lemonade but was not happy about paying for refills. Presentation and proportions were on par and I would visit again when I am in the area to try some other items on the menu. Overall the restaurant was clean the staff was friendly and the service was good.

    Brought the family here for mom's birthday, and it didn't disappoint!
    Eddie P.

    Needed a good breakfast spot between Oakland and Stockton for my mom's birthday. This was perfect. I arrived 10 minutes before our reservation, and they seated me no problem and brought me a coffee right away! As everyone else arrived, they checked in several times for coffee orders. Service was great, the food was amazing, and the location is really easy to get to. We sat near a window, which was nice and warm, but had roll-down shades to mute the sun. They helped us celebrate with complementary ice cream and churro sticks with caramel sauce. Yum! Would highly recommend this spot!

    This quaint restaurant is clean with amazing service. The food was good, a bit pricey, but good. The the portion size are generous as well.

This place seem smaller than the other location in Dublin I think it was. Everything else seems the same though. You get a number after you order at the counter and look for somewhere to seat. You also take this opportunity to grab your drink, utensils, and chips and salsa. Food was served right after. Ube pancakes - Delicious. Tall stack of ube pancakes, ube sauce, whipped cream, and fruits. It was soo good but it was a lot. I think it is pretty shareable. I would get this again and again when I come back. We also got the avocado toast that came with a side salad that was also pretty good. I remember we got some items from the case too and I think they were also good I just don't remember. The only draw back to the place is it does get pretty busy especially in the weekends, and it is pretty pricey. Overall still a must visit!

You have to wait in the line to place order and then you can take a seat. The Hawaiian influenced cuisine and big portions cannot be beaten by any restaurant in nearby area. We ordered pancakes, Vietnamese iced coffee, keiki pancake, veggie omlette, chicken apple salad sandwich, scrambled eggs and everything was scrumptious. No place to pinpoint something was amiss. The service is quick. Chips and salsa on the house is perfect for hungry bellies. Space is less but the place runs busy on weekends. They have a shared parking lot and it wasn't difficult to find two parkings. It's a typical fast paced American diner but with realistic flavors and portions.

For dinner, I ordered the smash burger, though it wasn't really a traditional smash burger and felt more like a regular burger with two very thick patties. That said, it was still good. The fries were hot and fresh, and our server was very kind. My husband enjoyed his fish tacos. They needed some salsa on the side though, which we asked about but it wasn't spicy. We also noticed they were promoting their upcoming Easter brunch at the time and we were looking for a spot for Easter too. Making an Easter brunch reservation was easy and smooth. The staff member on the phone was helpful and accommodating when we needed to adjust our headcount. We arrived 30 min before our reservation but they were able to seat us which we appreciated. The brunch itself was decent, but I'm not sure I would return for the value. It was a buffet-style brunch that included coffee, tea, and sodas. The prime rib needed a bit more flavor, we didn't see any au jus which would've helped, although it was nice to have a carving station and a made-to-order omelette bar. Some of the hot items were kept in warming trays but were more lukewarm than hot. They advertised waffles, but I didn't initially see any on the buffet, so we asked. A staff member mentioned they had batter available and kindly made fresh waffles for us in the kitchen. They were brought out beautifully topped with strawberries, cinnamon, and whipped cream. When we requested another order, we asked a different server for the same preparation, but the staff member who originally made them was back at his station, so we received a plain waffle instead. When we asked another server for strawberries, he somewhat abruptly and rudely pointed us to the buffet and said there was fruit available over there outside. We checked, but there were no strawberries at that time, so we didn't pursue it further. Later, when we ordered waffles again, there were still none on the buffet. I happened to speak with the same server again (that pointed to the fruit earlier), and he rudely said there were waffles out and we could get them ourselves, but then I told him that there weren't any as I had just come from there, and he acknowledged the issue. It seemed that items were not being consistently monitored or restocked. Unfortunately, the second round of waffles did not come out the same as the first and were missing the strawberries and whipped cream. However, the omelette station cook noticed and kindly brought us whipped cream when he passed by, which we appreciated. Overall, the ham was quite good. The salad selection felt a bit weak and looked wilted, and the dessert area was sparse with items not consistently refilled. The salmon was also slightly dry and could have benefited from more of the cream sauce. Positives: good dinner burger/fries, kind server, easy reservation process for Easter brunch, omelette station cook was very kind, some standout items (first waffles, ham) Negatives: inconsistent service, lukewarm buffet items, missing restocks, dry salmon, weak salad/dessert spread, and uneven guest handling (waffle/fruit issue + staff confusion)

Smaller restaurant with Asian decor. For the food we got the chicken omurice and pad kee mao with chicken. All very good! Chicken omurice: definitely the highlight and seems like one of their more popular dishes. The chicken was flavorful, hot, and has a nice crispy light batter. So good! The rice with egg really complimented the chicken as well. Good flavors and not overwhelming. Highly recommend Pad kee mao: good traditional flavors. It comes mild, so didn't have much of a kick. I don't eat too spicy so that was fine for me. If you prefer more spicy I recommend asking to increase the spicy level. Not the best I've had, but overall good I would definitely come back to try more dishes. Just the chicken omurice alone is enough to bring me back!

We started strong with the truffle tots: crispy, well-seasoned, and topped with Parmesan. The sauce? Genuinely great. No notes there. The chicken omurice was also a win! flavorful, comforting, and exactly what you'd hope for. My daughter's "bear in a blanket" dish was almost too cute to eat, and our server kindly offered complimentary mini pancakes for my toddler (which we didn't even know was a thing). They were adorable and surprisingly good, even without syrup. I also ordered the cloud matcha, which was delicious. Now... the duck Benedict. I'm saving it for last for a reason and not a good one. It was, unfortunately, a complete miss. It lacked flavor in a way that was almost impressive. Like... aggressively bland. The spinach and tomato completely overpowered the duck, and even tasting the duck on its own didn't help. It was giving absolutely nothing. Nothing. I'd honestly suggest pulling it from the menu until improvements can be made. Overall, I'd return for everything except the duck Benedict. Hard pass on that one.

Sprinkled with coconut and a heaping serving is their delicious Mac nut syrup!! I wish there was more mac nuts...but all good, still delish.

I was so preoccupied by the cute place I forgot our server's name, which also provided excellent service!!! Thanks everyone! We'll be coming back again. And for those early birds like me, this place is open 6am-3pm only. So good to know I have somewhere to go that early in the am.

    Table for 4 on a Sunday afternoon with no reservation and luckily the wait was only about 20 mins…read more We were seated outside in their front patio, overall space is pretty big as I noticed later on that they even have seating in the back and inside too. After having been seated, it took quite some time to get our food. Staff nonetheless were nice but a little slow to bring over requests (ie napkins). I ordered a Bloody Mary - 2/5. Tall cup but I felt like there was very little inside. Overall taste was nothing out of this world, very bland as was the garnish. For food I ordered the Philly Omlette - 2/5. The meat was so dry and lacked any seasoning! Disappointing - salsa was the only thing that saved it and ketchup for my potatoes. Of which, the potatoes were OK. Portion is huge, I definitely could have shared with 1 other person. Overall my experience was OK. Not to be my first choice for a future brunch spot in the area.
