well well well if you ever thought a bread ball was just a ball of bread this place will load you up and shoot you to a paradise where the yeast is best friends with the pigs and the salt calls the daily cows early Sunday morning. this place puts the michlin star raring system is jeopardy by jus put out how star worth dishes all week long, no fucs given if a fork is dropped, that's not the cooks fault and just dishing out soul elating calories that would wake your rotting nana from her bleat current state and make her feel like a high school field trip to disney land where the sky drips of parsley infused beef thighs and the chickens sing to be ripped in chimichucuri. read more

INCREDIBLE! One of my personal favorite restaurants in town. It is a regular meetup for my family and I. My favorite steak in town!

Absolutely a delicious meal with very friendly, efficient service. Food was obviously prepared with care. My wife's steak came to delivered to the table rare as requested. My tofu enchilada was both unique and tasty. Will certainly return in the area again. read more

We were visiting from out of town & decided to try Diego's. The food was beyond amazing, the margarita was delicious, and the service was superb! It's no wonder there was a line of people waiting. Must try!! read more

Authentic food, fantastic service, great vibe... The panquecas are phenomenal! Excellent Salsa Verde on their enchiladas!

Friendly waitresses. Food is delicious. We had the fried jalapenos and they were perfectly crispy and delicious. We were sitted in a tiny corner that was very romantic. They served us a homemade bread with chili Verde salsa and it was top notch. The bread tasted like a cross between sourdough and French bread. It was very soft. read more

The bomb!! I had the paqueques (wrong spelling) especial. Huge portion, could only eat half. Super flavorful and delicious. The wife had the pulled pork sandwich which was delish as well. Friendly staff and great service. Ps - ordered desert to go which I'm sure will be epic! read more

Great food. The homemade bread & rolls will melt in your mouth, guarantee it. Service is always on point; I always request Kate. The ambiance is very Costa Rica mixed with a splash of Peru. Bright, colorful & Latin. You won't be let down at Diego's. read more

Love this place! Ran by a mom and daughter duo. My grandmother and I came here for dinner one night. The joy balls were to die for. We also tried out their margaritas - nice pour. I got the fish tacos, definitely recommend but it was a lot for me to finish in one sitting. Grandma got the crab/lobster chile reano. I wish it had more veggies or cheese in it and less fishy. It was just piled into a bell pepper. We also go dessert, can't go wrong with the pie here! There were two things in my opinion that stood out to me and gave this place five stars. One - the atmosphere. I love how they have repurposed thrifted goods and trash into art work or part of the dishware. Second - the customer service. One of the ladies who owns the establishment came over and talked to us for a bit. It made the night special that she took time out of her busy schedule just to say hi to my grandma. In fact, all the workers at this establishment were very good about checking in with us! read more

Our first time at Diego's and we really enjoyed our meals. The server was busy as the place was full but she was on her game and kept checking in and moving everything quickly. Charming location and tasty dishes. I had the fried Tilapia Fish Taco meal and loved it. Husband had the Fajita and it was different than traditional versions but perfectly prepared and delicious. Beef was perfectly cooked with a tasty sauce. read more

My daughter picked this place for my sister and I since we were going house hunting in the general area. We parked and went in we chose to eat indoors since it was pretty empty. We were introduced to 2 servers who were both very informative about the food and menu. Both very friendly. I thought it was a Mexican place, I was wrong. It is much closer to Latin food such as Venezuelan/Chilean~ South American. That doesn't change my mind. Let's see what you got... They brought out rolls for the table that were fantastic. My sister ordered Taquitos off the appetizer menu and made it into a meal, she enjoyed it and was stuffed. I ordered the Veggie Chili Relleno which was good but not great. I loved the mosaics, artwork and furniture made by the owners son... Although the place is old and dusty the food was good. The waitresses shared a lot of local history and information. We really enjoyed our lunch and the funny stories told by the server's. I would totally eat there again. The menu is so large it would be fun to explore... read more

Next level food and service. The owner is at the restaurant and willing to go above and beyond for clients. Not a surprise how successful they are. This is a must go if you're in the area. read more

After visiting Empire Mines, we swung by Diegos when I saw that they were serving up Latin American dishes. The street tacos were by each so we got those instead of "appetizers", although it was the last item to come out but was happy with the flavors. I had my eye on the crab rellenos even though my tolerance of spicy is limited to mild. A little more kick than I'm use to but mild enough that I was able to finish it. Although in the future, if the Chilean sea bass is still a special, I would choose that instead. The panqueque reminds me of a cross between a burrito and a savory thick crepe that is best eaten with a fork and knife. Definitely a popular place which means the service may be on the slower side when they're full but nice to have this more creative option in Grass Valley. read more

This review is for their catering service. I was helping my daughter search for a caterer for her 40th Birthday Party. She had asked for my help with not a lot of notice. Tony was so helpful and responsive to all my questions. He made many suggestions that would work for the budget and limited amount of time we had. In the meantime my daughter decided not to use a catering service. I felt bad but Tony was so understanding. I will definitely keep them in mind when I need a caterer again and look forward to trying their restaurant. Thank you again Tony! read more

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious dinner tonight! We had sriracha shrimp and the seafood panqueque stuffed with fresh salmon mahi-mahi and sweet prawns smothered in a scrumptious sauce. Diego's never disappoints - always fresh high- quality food beautifully prepared read more

We are so excited to find this restaurant!!! Tons of vegetarian options with real veggies (instead of just rice and beans). Good service. The bread was to die for!!! The entrees were very tasty, but also healthy - very light for Latin food. We will be back!!! PS. The food is NOT your average Mexican restaurant fare swimming in cheese and grease. It is unique and very well seasoned. read more

I LOVE Diego's. The Panqueques are amazing. Definitely my go to in the area. I bring out of town guests here, it's a wonderful experience.

Fantastic!! The service was above and beyond. I even got a blanket from the owner because I was freezing from falling into waist high snow. The food was delicious! I couldn't stop eating. The fish taco was flavorful. The calamari was cooked just right. The Panqueque is HUGE and amazing. Dessert...the Celestino is a closing to an amazing meal. Love it. Overall. One of my top choice restaurant. Now if I'm heading back to the Bay Area from Tahoe or up in Auburn, I will definitely be back here. read more

Ordered in the restaurant and waited on a to go order for 50 minutes. They finally came back and said they never actually printed the ticket and it will be ready in another 10 minutes. The restaurant closed shortly before they told us about our order, which begs the question how long would we have had to wait if they didn't just want us to leave? UPDATE: our order was missing items. If I could give it zero stars I would. read more

My wife and I stopped by prior to seeing a comedy show in grass valley. We both had the panqueque which is like a burrito but uses a crepe instead of a tortilla. There are many options to try. It was excellent. We both had margaritas which was good but be aware no hard alcohol. It was wine based. Service was beyond excellent. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. read more

ordered a chicken Caesar salad to go. so much dressing it's inedible. should have inspected it prior to leaving. I would have returned it.

Was excited to eat here and had high hopes. In an empty restaurant the waiter decided to seat us in the smallest cubby corner. Then was rude the entire time. Rushed us, forgot to add a side to my order, etc. read more

Service was amazing. We were sat right away on New Year's Day. The complimentary bread and dips were delicious. I ordered the achiote de pollo which was extremely delicious and filling. We also ordered off the kids menu, and the servings were very generous. read more

The service was good but the food.... Ok, this was not our first time here. Typically it's for dinner but today we went for lunch and it was so disappointing. Maybe it was a new kitchen crew, not sure, but it did not feel like we were at the same place. We ordered the calamari to start and barely any breading on the calamari. Ordered the surf and turf fajitas and so not worth it. 3 shrimp and the steak was not tender and enough for one tortilla. Also ordered the pork loin. Pork was cooked perfectly but the sweet mashed potatoes were lacking flavor. We will go back again but only for dinner. read more

This restaurant is Fabulous; the mother-daughter were extremely helpful. Our Church had a Mother's Day Luncheon at the Diego's in Grass Valley, CA. The appetizer's were sensational; as was the meal itself. Our waitress was on top of every thing. We give Diego's a 5Stars. Sylvia Sutfin read more

I loved this gem of a restaurant! I instantly fell in love with the charm of this place. The customer service here is amazing and I love the ambience especially out on the patio. It feels so home-y. I ordered the enchiladas and they were so hot and delicious. The food came out extremely quickly as well! I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I will definitely be back to this gem again and again when I'm in the area!! read more

Great hamburger! Chips were amazing also. Recommend highly. My wife had a chorizo crepe that was very good also.

Brother, this is actually insane. I ordered their panqueque, thinking that by "grilled veggies" I was going to receive peppers and onions, maybe some mushrooms. What I was served was a disgusting plate of crepe, filled with celery, zucchini, and worst of all, broccoli. I can't speak for the rest of their menu, and have never felt the need to write a review before. But for those reading, avoid this item, and for the store, take this thing off the menu or at least list the veggies you plan to serve. read more

We hosted our son's and future daughter-in-law's Rehearsal Dinner at Diego's tonight. It was FABULOUS! Tony, June, Diane and Quinn provide exceptional service to make this event special. We love the personalize menus. The patio was perfect for our event. There was plenty of space for 28 people even though we had 26. Everyone was comfortable and enjoyed the delicious food. Thank you, Diego's, for kicking off Adam and Cora's wedding weekend off so wondefully. read more

Diego's is off the beaten path from downtown Grass Valley but worth the short walk or drive! The restaurant is so charming outside and in. The service was fast and friendly! Definitely have the panqueque! I had the house panqueque with the citrus tofu and grilled veggies. You could definitely share it and pick another dish too! read more

We are originally from San Francisco and took a drive to Placer County. Our realtor Teresa recommended this place for dinner. We've now been here three times in the past 3 weeks and we love it. Dog friendly adorable outdoor patio. Food is excellent. Highly recommend this gem! read more

Omg. The food is really good. Highly recommend. Our waitress did the best she could but it was the worst service. So incredibly slow and one waitress for the entire restaurant is a terrible idea. 20 min to get water. So sad that such great food and great atmosphere yet the owners can't figure out a better situation for wait staff. We should have been informed they were having issues before we sat down. Still a great spot. read more

This Latin American restaurant is two minutes from downtown and is obviously well loved by the locals. Cozy decor and warm welcoming family run. The Chilean sauces in my fajitas were a warm citrusy change from traditional Mexican sauce and the pulled pork was tender and rich. My husband's steak and vegetables were excellent. I was impressed that vegetarian options are available for most dishes. The homemade Chilean sauces and desserts were sophisticated and delicious. The Celosina dessert was a fabulous crepe filled with bananas and warm caramel topped with vanilla ice cream. The staff was so sweet; they literally offered blankets on a chilly evening ! We will definitely return here whenever we visit Grass Valley. read more

This hit the spot when my husband and I were looking for a good bite with outdoor seating. We came in and, since we wanted to sit outside, waited a little for our table. But the wait wasn't long. We ordered the sangria pitcher, a burrito, tacos, and an appetizer. Omg so much Food! We could have just share the burrito. I highly recommend the pork with pineapple for your tacos. It was so tasty and bright. The chicken was just okay. I think it was mostly thigh meat (which I know a lot of people prefer), but it's not my fav. My husband liked it tho. Our waitress was also so friendly, service was excellent. We gladly return if we were back in the area. read more

Diego's is a charming restaurant serving dishes packed with flavor! We love the colorful ambiance and friendly servers. The first time we dined here there was live music which was an added bonus. I've never tried Chilean food before and our waitress suggested ordering the panqueque and we were not disappointed. It was huge! This dish could definitely be shared among two people. The calamari was light and fresh. I also really enjoyed the fish and shrimp tacos. The menu is pretty expansive so there's definitely something for everyone. We've been back since our first visit and are looking forward to returning again. read more

We were looking for something unique in Grass Valley and we are so glad we found this fabulous restaurant. Chilean inspired South American dishes were vibrant with flavor and exploded with delicious fragrances. Wow! We loved every bite from the spicy shrimp with Diegos slaw to the stuffed portobello mushroom. My Rock Crab stuffed Chile relleno was delicious. My dish also came with black beans and rice Our Tres Leches for dessert was excellent too. We had been out and about and the San Pellegrino water hit the spot. The service was excellent and our team checked in on us frequently. We started out with home made rolls which were very tasty. The habanero hot sauce adds a bit of kick so use sparingly unless you really like hot. Across the street is a Bed n breakfast so we are scheming to come back to explore more of the local wineries. These are the closest to Reno (not including Truckee) well worth the 90 min drive to get here. Diego's is right on the main road and parking is on the street read more

This place is going to make you happy. The menu is huge with a lot of Chilean and Mexican dishes. We both loved our entrees and dessert too. The panqueque was a Chilean style crepe that looked giant but was surprisingly not too heavy. It's a family run restaurant and the service is warm and friendly and the atmosphere casual and eclectic. Prices were reasonable and portions generous. What more could you want? read more
