love it! When I lived in Clayton-went there often We visited recently and it is as good as ever! Best hotdogs-the snap you need and can't find anywhere else. Great nacho salad as well read more

Every bite of food at least of ease is amazing! No matter what item you get it is very tasty and and the best version of that item. The service is quick and the meal is handled the care. Also, The ambiance is rustic and classic. Feels like a small diner with a coffee shop feeling. Highly recommend it! read more

I used to come here for their yummy salads however, last time I went, I was really disappointed. The person who was running the cash register was the same person who was putting together my salad and she didn't wash her hands or wear gloves. I should have rejected it, but I was embarrassed and paid for it and then just threw it out. I have never been back. I hope they are not doing this anymore. read more

If you miss the OG Kasper's (Kasper's with a K, one of a kind) on Telegraph in Oakland, Lisa V's is a hidden gem at the edge of Concord that reminds you of the OG restaurant. A friend and I were looking for a place that grills hot dogs or sausages like Top Dog in Berkeley. Our search popped up with Lisa V's even though they do not grill the hot dog so we headed out to try. We were both pleasantly surprised. I had two traditional hot dogs with relish, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes and mustard which made it easy to eat. I also had potato salad which is homemade and tasty. My friend had a hot dog with sauerkraut and a taco. I thought the taco was unusual for a hot dog restaurant but my friend said the taco had really good flavor and the meat was tender. He said for it not being a Taqueria it was a nicely constructed taco. The hot dogs have a little bit of a snap when you bite, a tinge more of spice than a Casper's (with a C) hot dog, good flavor, perfectly steamed bun and perfect blend on condiments. For a great hot dog, this the place to east of the Caldecott Tunnel. To fill that hood hot dog craving, Lisa V's won't disappoint. read more

Lisa, Is always present, and accomadating. Hor Dog's are excellent. Especially like the chili cheese dogs, with extra cheese. Small store with table seating inside, always a seat available. Great Service! read more

Lisa's consistently get the orders right. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and speedy, without being abrupt. I've patronized Lisa's for years and plan to continue doing so for as long as the shop stays where it is. read more

Used to LOVE this place but after a recent purchase, just super disappointed. A hot dog and burrito cost me $28, that's just crazy to begin with. The hot dog was supposed to be a chili cheese dog but there was barely any chili or cheese. The "chicken" burrito had barely any chicken and was mostly rice and beans. I think they "get you" with the "add ons", like they asked if I wanted tomatoes and onions on my "Chili cheese dog" without telling me there was a TOTALLY overboard charge for adding those FEW onions and tomatoes on... How else would a hot dog and burrito cost so much??? The hot dog was good but, like I said, barely any chili and the burrito was "meh" with barely any chicken.... Not worth the price anymore and it sucks because I've supported this business for a long time read more

Was in Concord today and wanted a hotdog chose Lisa v's. Hot dogs were delicious. The potato salad is home made and really tasty. Service was quick and friendly. Sorry I didn't take a picture. read more

My mom used to take me and my brother here after our Kung Fu class that we attended across the way. We'd split the starving student burrito. A few months ago I got a random pregnancy craving for the burrito so I went and picked one up. It was delicious and brought back so many fond memories of my childhood! read more

We have lived here forever and never got around to trying this place, so finally got around to it. The food is good and simple. No indoor dining yet due to the pandemic. Basic menu, but you get what you expect. As mentioned, the hot dog is a bit thin, but they do pile on the toppings. The potato salad was good and fresh. The chili nachos were laden with goodies and spicy from the jalapenos. The California burrito was big and flavorful. Overall, a good place to grab a quick bite. read more

I craved potato salad today, and my usual place had no salads, so I continued down the road to Lisa V's on Clayton in Concord. Lisa V's is in the same shopping center where K-Mart was. It's just across the driveway from Fiore. Lisa V's has some great potato salad; it's her dad's recipe. From what I understand, they have been in business for over 40 years and have quite a local following. Whenever someone asks about good potato salad, Lisa V's is mentioned. They also have hot dogs, street tacos, soups, burritos, homemade chili, nachos, and salads. Many rave about their street tacos, but I have yet to try them. It's a tiny but cute space with several tables inside and outside. I visited in the past and enjoyed a cheese dog and potato salad. Today I scored the potato salad and a tasty cup of chicken tortilla soup. It was perfect light lunch and satisfied my hankering. read more

Lisa's has been my favorite place since high school was many years ago. My son grew up on them as well. It started as Lisa's house of hot dogs and is now Lisa V's. It has been a minute since we have been there. Git chili dogs today. Very surprised to see the very limited amount of chili given and canned poor flavor. Not the chili dogs that we know and have loved for over 30 years. Very disappointing. I also was amazed that they are requiring the customer to pay extra for not paying with cash. She said she " can't afford to pay the credit card charges anymore". That is the cost of doing business. You can't expect us to be alright with being charged 3.5% extra to Pay for the product we are purchasing from you to cover your credit card fees. Doesn't seem like a huge amount at all, but the principal is large. Cash is the least used form of currency. Charging me for not using it is ridiculous. Sadly, This may be the last time we support her and her business. read more

Eat local! Lisa V's is a perfect stop on Clayton Road when you crave a hot dog, street taco, etc. Unfortunately, they are not offering indoor seating right now, but there are plenty of outside tables. And the food is good for "grab and go." Friendly service, good quality, and reasonable prices. read more

I was looking forward to trying this place because of the reviews. I'm going to be nice and give three stars because the food was good. The business and their practices deserve two stars. I ordered the house dog and the chili dog both were good. I wasn't blown away but they are just hot dogs. Here's the thing they charge $3.25 for what MIGHT be at the most a 16 oz soda. That's high even for a fast food restaurant that lets you GET REFILLS. I haven't heard of a place not allowing refills on sodas from a soda machine in .... 20 years (?) Lisa's doesn't allow this and has their machine behind w a big sign saying so lol. This sends a STRONG message to your customers. We are cheap We don't trust you to not abuse the number refills you take. I mean at least sell bottled 20 oz sodas if you don't want to deal w the machines and refills. Once I figured this out I asked for just a little ice. A woman I'm assuming is Lisa (?) was clearly annoyed as she dumped out the ice and started over. To be fair the ice probably cost her $ .000000008 lol Once I got my food I asked for ketchup and mustard to go. They were totally flustered and surprised by that question. Ummm you own a hot dog restaurant! You have never thought of or been asked that before? Come on people. I was told " well there is ketchup on it" (there wasn't) while she scrambled to put together a container. I declined because I was already annoyed to be honest. $21 for two hotdogs and a small soda is crazy. I'm sorry but I won't be back read more

Been a customer since the "original" owner. Great prices, great hotdogs and the best potato salad!

I went to Lisa's for years when I lived in Clayton from the 1980s until February/2013. Despite how I'm now in Martinez and therefore am out of the way, I still come in here when the opportunity arises. The quality is still just as amazing as back when I first began patroning Lisa's as a young boy. Lisa truly cares about delivering excellent food to her customers and also loves them. When I think of exemplary small business owners, Lisa definitely comes to mind. There was one instance years ago where my mom pulled up in her car and Lisa knew her hot dog order by heart. She actually made up a hot dog for her right before she approached the counter. That's how professional she is. Her staff, including her sisters Dayna and Sue, are also terrific as well. I love to order the cheese dogs, burritos (whoa are those filling!) and potato salad. I just started eating the potato salad last year upon seeing the glowing reviews of it here. It's delicious! Highly recommend! I'll continue doing business with Lisa V's. Thanks for the terrific service! Please support your local small business and get a yummy bite to eat at Lisa V's, too! read more

Wow! A place that serves hot dog, burrito, and tacos. I found this place by accident. I was going to Bambu but I was so hungry. I had 3 Street Tacos...Chicken, Beef, and Pork. It was worth having all three tacos! Their tacos are better than the ones I had on a Food Truck. I will return to this place. Note: no restroom read more

Lisa V's - Street Tacos...Chicken and Pork - Mexican Near Me - Concord, California

I drove out to check them out and it was worth the extra distance. The hotdog is very similar (one could say the same) to Capers dog (bun, dog and toppings), but the potato salad was worth the extra effort to get there over Caspers. I also tried the Chili Dog with cheese. The chilli was ok, seemed homemade, but not spicy at all and for me, hotdog chili should have no beans, it should be more of a meat sauce condiment. Overall good stuff, the staff was friendly and quick. I'm looking forward to coming back if I'm in the area again. read more

Best hotdogs ever. And, best potato salad ever. This was our first time eating at Lisa V's. We heard they were the very best and they are. It's a small mom-n-pop establishment. I ended up getting a cheese dog meal special and my husband ordered a hotdog special as well but with chili and he was satisfied. Honestly they have the best buns. Sooo good! Overall, Lisa V's is the spot! Fast friendly service and great food. Definitely a Concord iconic establishment. If you haven't tried Lisa V's you're missing out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Had their Yummy Hotdog Special for lunch. Small place, nice people and feels and looks clean. Hotdog was good and tasty and the potato salad that comes with it was surprisingly good. I say the potato was surprisingly good because I'm picky with potato salad but Lisa V's was sooo good! read more

I have lived in the area for over 3 years and regret not having tried this place earlier. My husband and I were in the same complex as Lisa V's getting some chores done and decided grab a quick lunch. It's a mom and pop restaurant with two really sweet ladies at the counter. Since my husband is a vegetarian, they happily accommodated to his needs and served vegetarian versions of the dishes we liked. If you are a potato fan, you've got to try their POTATO SALAD. It is creamy and packed with flavor. Next we tried the TACO SALAD which the ladies at the counter highly recommended and I'm glad that they did. This is one dish I'm going to keep going back for. The fact that their beans were homemade reminded me of my mom. The beans were so light and delicious- definitely one of the best ones I've had. Overall the salad was not too heavy and yet filling. The CALIFORNIA BURRITO was also pretty good. We got it without the rice as it was cooked in chicken stock. But the fresh veggies and toppings were enough to satiate our taste buds. Highly recommend this hidden gem if you are looking for some homemade like delicious food. read more

What a great find this was! I used to live in this area for years and years and never went here and could kick myself because the food here is awesome! Yes, the place is small but that's what makes this place awesome. The ladies here are really genuinely nice and sweet and they work with the owner sister. I just love the family owned and employed by family.... The homemade potato salad is to die for... the hotdogs are excellent and quite long. Thin....a little as some say, it long and filling. I tried the most flavorful chili dog, which was the bomb. This place is definitely worth trying out. I will be back here, time and time again as I love this spot! read more
