Great food. Wonderful atmosphere. Had a glass of Sangria and a fish dish while my mom had the special which she said was great. Fresh food. Amazing customer service. Great experience. I will be back for sure! The food was cooked perfectly and their bread with herb butter and a green salsa was awesome. Most of all, the atmosphere is artsy, casual, and just enjoyable and peaceful. The waitress was one of the nicest and most vibrant i have EVER experienced. Perfect saturday afternoon lunch. read more

Diego's gets better each visit. The special, well, are special!! The service is great (get Chris if you can), smooth and you never need to search for someone to get what you need. If it's chili out, they provide a blanket and heater if you want to enjoy the patio. Perfecto! read more

Love Diego's! First time here, had the mole enchiladas with chicken, my wife had the stuffed portabela mushroom. The meal came with soup or salad and we both got salads. The mole enchiladas had perfect flavor with home made mole. The plate doesn't come swimming in mole, which I like (probably more a Mexican style), but the shredded chicken had been marinated in it, so the flavor was there. Both plates came with a side of black beans and rice, and the side salads were small and tasty. For our entrees and splitting a pitcher of Sangria, we ended up paying around 70.00. A little steep for my taste, however, if you want to count on a place where you know you will get a perfect meal with warm ambience, you can trust Diego's. read more

We were craving some Mexican food so we decided to try Diego's. Great Sangria. Great rolls. Great service. Food was overpriced but tasted pretty good. Kids grilled cheese is not worth getting. Chef is super nice though. read more

Waiter was nice and apologetic because the cook screwed up our order. Husband and I went to Diego's for dinner. We ordered an appetizer and two entrees. Our entrees were served before the appetizer. And the soup (tomato based) was disgusting. The food was only OK, not good enough to come back. I am giving the place two stars and not one because: again waiter was nice, mini rolls were good, and the habanero sauce was very good. Other than that, the place is not worth another chance. read more

Simple everything about this place is the best. Food is awesome food that I have never had anywhere before. Service is great very friendly people , atmosphere is really cool . Thank you thank you. I own a business and I'm all ways amazed that people will find things wrong with people doing their best. Austin Pure Water Inc read more

The decor is awesome and so is the waitress Kourtni! My boyfriend and I drove to Colfax for a day hike and needed a place to eat so we stopped by here. There were mixed reviews but decided to try it anyways. The sangria tasted watered down and did not have much flavor but you can have a sample so try it for yourself. We decided on a bottle of wine and a few appetizers to start. The honey, Siracha shrimp with the pineapple, bacon salad thing was to die for!!! The homemade jalapeño poppers were good but needed a dipping sauce or something to bring them to life. Salads with homemade dressing were good. Dinner entrees were not very good and the prices were more expensive than the website says. I had the crab relleno which basically tasted very bland and kinda of soggy. It came with mixed grilled veggies and black beans, neither of which had any seasoning on them! Also came with rice (white) with carrots and peas in it...question? Basically I would come back for apps and a drink but I would not come back for more than that! read more

LOVE Diegos! We especially like their sandwiches - the Favorito is my favorito! The fish is always good as is the panqueque! The atmosphere is funky and welcoming. We are always happy to eat there! read more

Five stars June is very sweet she and I are good friends the food here is great I love there tacos they are delicious and I've always loved the bread rolls and there butter mmm they also have wonderful drinks there that I love and it's a very family related restraint love it love June it's great read more

So the perfunctory little breads that come with every meal are a delightful little starter, little round balls of perfectly fluffy bread which you can dress up with herb butter and cut the richness with a little ceviche onion-cilantro stuff. The meal started off great and ended on a so-so level. My dining companion had the panqueque with pork which was super delicious and super flavorful, I highly recommend. I ordered the appetizer of calamari as my entree because they pile it high and it looked so crisp and delicious. But our server came back and informed me that they were out. So I ask our server a recommendation as I am debating between the polenta and the pupusa. She convinces me to get the pupusa... big mistake. I have had excellent pupusas in the past and I think Diego's served me the worst ones I have ever had. It came out brick hard which matched the brick-like denseness of the deep fried masa. You get two pupusas in an order, if you eat both I wouldn't be surprised if you a) never pooped again or b) shat a brick. Gross, I know, but that's how much I am trying to tell everyone to skip the pupusas. I would definitely eat here again because the panqueques and little breads were so good, but I would definitely steer clear of the pupusas! read more

See all

Excellent service and meal today!! We had a very sweet hostess and waitress. The food was EXCELLENT. Thank you for the lovely experience. We will definitely be back. read more

Great place ! Sandwiches are amazing. And the place is so cuteeeee!!! I would so come back. Also easy to get there. LOVED IT!

I love the ambience at Diego's it's eclectic and Home like the food is great the prices are a bit high but it's worth it for a special treat. read more

My first visit to D's was worthy of 3-4 stars. The food was tasty, decor funky and charming, the wait-staff was charming as well, though fretfully quite inexperienced. The restaurant was filled maybe 3/4 full and each server was running around looking stressed and throwing out "I'll be right back" as if it were their motto. Second visit, FAR worse. The apathetic chap took my girlfriends order, then looked at me and directly said "so nothing for you?", rather than simply taking my order, or at the very least asking if I cared for anything. I ordered the pupusas (typically a Salvadorian food) which were culinarily inaccurate. Way too thick with masa, too little filling, not fried properly to create the crispy shell, without meat (contrary to their advertising), no curtido (pupusas are always served with curtido!), and way overpriced. My water glass sat empty for 20 or more minutes. The server wasn't trained how to manage his section, or at the very least how to respond to a patrons pleas for service. Walking to and fro attending to one person at a time whilst ignoring all other calls for attention is wildly inefficient at best. When the kid finally got around to bringing the bill, he so very kindly included a comment sheet, but no pen. I asked the busser, a woman in her late 40'sish, for her pen and she said "sure, but you better write something nice, or I WILL POISON YOUR FOOD NEXT TIME." Clearly she meant this as a cute joke, HOWEVER, it is horrifyingly inappropriate for ANYONE in the food industry to THREATEN A PATRON WITH POISONED FOOD, however cheeky or cute she thinks she's being. If someone were to hear that comment and come down with a food-born illness, the owners could easily lose the restaurant. Lastly, there is a chalkboard posted in the patio area that reads something to the effect of "we love, we laugh, we make mistakes, so be gentle on us". Management needs to get a clue. Never going back. read more

Food good service awful. My wife and I just returned from a New Year's Eve meal. She was brought the wrong food. They acknowledged it was wrong but did nothing about it And collected the complete 135.00 . Very disappointed And will not be back even though we live 1/4 mile away. Not such a happy New Years dinner read more

Diegos is one of the best restaurants in Grass Valley hands down. They quality is always amazing, their food is off the charts! Yes the restaurant is small but that doesn't matter one bit. read more

Diego's is the best restaurant in Grass Valley. The food is excellent and the staff make you feel like family. The crab stuffed chile was heaven on Earth. read more

The Panqueque is life changing, seriously. The patio is gorgeous and has stunning decorations, they even covered a table in gorgeous wild flowers for me when I went last year for my birthday! I would eat at Diego's every day if I could. And don't even get me started on the fresh rolls and cilantro dipping sauce! So good! Soooo good! I worked downtown for a while and would ride my beach cruiser to Diego's to get take out for my lunch break even, and anytime customers would ask where to go I would send then there. Go, now. read more

What I enjoy most about going to a restaurant is when everyone knows you. Since our first visit we have been treated more like family than a frequent diner. Yes it is cozy, and yes the wait is lengthy, but the staff (especially Shelly) more than make up for any inconveniences experienced. The food is a little different, but more than worth the cost. read more

Just had a Sunday afternoon lunch at Diego's. It was great. Small and eclectic which added to its charm. My husband is now addicted to the salsa verde they served with warm bread rolls and garlic butter. I had the pork panqueue and my husband had chicken Apple sausage sandwich. Both were delicious. Service was tops and not over attentive. We are fairly new to Grass Valley and happy to find another good place to eat. read more

Been here several times and have almost everything on their menu. These people know how to duplicate specialties from my heritage (Argentina) and the country next door (Chile - which is actually their menu base). :-) Everything is very tasty and good quantity. The staff is friendly and courteous. Anything with the FlatIron is amazing. Those who have had bad experiences, please try again - you clearly got a bad day. Everyone gets a free get out of jail card. read more

I've had a couple good meals here, but usually they are various forms of giant plates of zucchini. It's like their version of filler-food. Not fooling me. The drinks are quite terrible, even the "margaritas" if you can call them that. Service is hit-or-miss. read more

Love Diego's! One of our favorite neighborhood haunts for great service and great food. We search out places that use quality, locally sourced food and this is one of our spots. The food is always fresh and we find the specials and the salads to be an easy go to. Highly recommended if you care about what you eat and want a very cool environment to eat it in! read more

1. You are in Grass Valley and 2. you are looking for a place that serves fantastic food. If you answered no to either of these, what gives. I first came to Grass Valley on business, but I can tell you that with Bay-area weekenders, this City has some great food. Diego's is the kind of place to come with friends or family, grab a table outside, and prepare for food awesomeness. The little bread "drops" they serve are great with the garlic butter or awesome dipping sauce. I have had the peach bbq ribs, various panquque, the churasco, sangria, more sangria, and great deserts. I have been to food spots all over the world, and this place holds its own. Stop on in, you won't regret it. read more

I usually get on her to complement places, so this is the least amount of stars I've used on here... This was by far the weirdest dining experience I've had in years. First we walked in (cause the outside decor is so cute!!) and stood there for awhile- not a customer or employee in sight.. We finally flagged down a young man from the back and he did a quick walk thru the restaurant and apologized as he could not find the waitresses either. He let us take our 6 menus and seat ourselves outside. 10 minutes later we got our drinks and my daughters had a long dark hair tangled in the ice. I wasn't about to complain as I've heard stories about what happens then. I prefer to just not go back. A couple of our ice-less glasses of water in mismatched cups (one cracked down the side) were obviously not clean. One actually had food on it. The food was decent but the cleanliness and service was not good at all. Plus it's not small kid friendly considering they only offered a $12.99 cheeseburger for finicky eaters. read more

Great food, fun eclectic atmosphere, and excellent service. They offer some great Mexican seafood options.

I made it in for my second visit to Diego's with my family and was quite pleased with the flavor and quality of the food and desserts. All of the adults ate some variation of the taco special (fish, steak & chicken) all of which were flavorful, light and tasty. The kids had PB&J and chicken strips, which they enjoyed and the chicken was great from what I was told. I am a HUGE fan of their desserts ~ we shared the chocolate bread pudding and cielo... Mmm hot, freshly made gooey goodness... The part that has been lacking on both visits was speed of service(or lack thereof). Our waitress this visit was very fun, kind and sweet, but the speed at which she got drinks out was quite slow - we never got refills and we never got our bread, which she had said she'd bring right out. I love the patio, food and atmosphere at Diego's but I have concluded that you better come prepared to wait if you come in for dinner. read more

This place has a lot going for it, the decor is very cute and the food is quite good. But I recently had lunch at Diego's and while the food was delicious, I was disappointed. The service was okay, but we were not offered anything to drink. Plus, the place was so full of flies that it made just sitting there uncomfortable. The server had them on her arms, they were all over the table and one even flew in my ear. My friend enjoyed her food, and mine was really delicious, but essentially very few pieces of meat in a large crepe with some very underdone grilled vegetables. That was it! This "panqueque" set me back $15! No soup or salad offered with it at lunch, no side dishes...I just didn't understand the price and expected something much more elaborate than a scantily filled burrito for that much money. I will go back and I hope they have fixed the fly problem by then, but I will be very careful about what I order next time. read more

Even when they're busy, you get smiles and "happy to see me", which is what I want in a restaurant. The food is organic and fresh and most of the time, quite yummy! I love to eat here dinner or lunch... unique, original and a happy place. Highly recommend. read more

We brought in a HUGE party for my cousin's 60th birthday celebration--all of us ladies were or currently are waitresses, so we're a hard party to impress. However, our waitress accommodated us with ease and professionalism. Our food was delicious and delivered in a timely manner. We were treated with care and respect. I would definitely come back with a large party and reserve that back room again, or just dine with my husband for a date night. Cute, eclectic decor. Again, amazing food. Will come back! read more

We came with high expectations and will try again but lunch was average and expensive for the portions received.

Diego's has many options for those of us with dietary restriction. The service is wonderful and the atmosphere is one of a kind. This is a stupendous community eatery that houses the best culinary creations in the county! I recommend the fish tacos...;) read more

It's been a while since I have been in but remembering how good the the food was the two times I was in and knowing how appreciative small businesses are of these Yelp reviews, I thought I'd comment. The first time I came in was on New Years eve a few years back. I had fish taco's. I don't know if they are on the regular menu. I think they were a "special" item that day. I was fortunate enough to get the last plate of them that day so they were obviously popular. Outstanding. Made from fresh ingredients. As far as I know, the only fresh made fish taco in Grass Valley. The second time I came in I went with a simple classic, the burger. This has to be, hands down, the best burger in the city of Grass Valley. I was told that the beef was acquired locally, as in from cows that once lived within 10-20 miles. I'm not sure of the science of how a locally raised cow is going to provide better beef than a cow that was raised down at that Cowschwitz facility off the 5 Freeway in Central CA, but I tell you this: That beef had, at the minimum, as good a flavor as the best burgers I've had anywhere in the USA, if not better. And certainly the best in the town of Grass Valley. The decor is really neat and super eclectic. If I'm not mistaken, they acquired everything from local yard, garage, and estate sales, so everything is mis-matched which adds a cool flair. Additionally, purchasing your stuff like that gives new life to old stuff and bypasses the need to create new "things" for purchase and consumption. Very Grass Valley. Service was attentive and friendly. Diego's is a Grass Valley classic and most definitely worth your time when in town. read more

Wow had the Chilean crab stuffed poblano with rice beans and veggies. Excellent. I wish you had a place in Louisiana

Hard working owners with great attitudes..... Very happy and kind to all. This place has magic and soul..... There is nothing cookie cutter about it. . . ... including the food they serve. Unique, superb, quirky and delightful. We love the mix and match dinnerware. FUNKY...... Diego's is one of our favorite places to eat. They are very accomodating to little one's needs as well. read more

Yum! Love it, great food, warm environment, friendly service. Delicious :)

For the first time ever eating here, we were impressed. Service was good and food was great! We had the Bisteca de Pobre (steak, rice, fried eggs and fries)......and the Panqueque (Crepe with Portobello Mushrooms and veggies......just enough cheese. Super yummy!! Comfortable atmosphere, music on the patio......... We're going back soon! read more

So good. We love to go there with the kids or just the 2 of us. Tastes authentic and the staff are very nice.

Best food in the area. Everything on the menu is wonderful. The organic fresh vegetables, beans, rice & Talapia are to die for. The desserts are wonderful. It's just a treat to go there. Ask anyone in town for directions and they'll say, "I love Deigos, they have THE best food." It's not fast food. Everything is cooked when you order it so it takes time. But it's a fun atmosphere and it is worth the wait. read more

I've only been here once so far, but the Portabello Mushroom Panqueque was amazing. I've never had anything like it......soooo good. We took dessert to go and it had a hair in it though, so that's one complaint I had. We called them and told them and they said when we went in next they would comp our dessert, but we haven't had the chance to go back yet. I like the interesting decor of the place, but I did feel like they stuck us in a hole in the back as it was a little too dark for my taste. Ambience is good, but when it's so dark you're wondering if the lights are on at all you've gone too far. Overall I liked it and plan on going back! read more
