After a long day of hiking at Mount Diablo, this restaurant is just what the doctor ordered. It's not as small as I thought it would be. I ordered the chicken burrito and a Diet Coke. The service was very fast and friendly. I thought the burrito was pretty good. Not exceptionally tasty but not too bad. And the sizes quite large. More than I could eat. Probably less rice and more salsa would be better. Now if they could just add beer to the menu... read more

If I could eat one salad for the rest of my life it would be a BBQ Chicken Salad from Lisa V's. Amazing customer service and so fast! Highly recommend to try it when you are here in Concord! read more

I love going here, family owned. My favorite place to get cheese dogs, Street tacos, and (seasonal) Tortilla soup, and that's now! Homemade potato salad is awesome! Friendly staff read more

Good hot dogs and reasonable prices here. Might be best to stick with the basic hotdog: I had the cheese dog, expecting the cheese to be melted, but it's just cold shredded cheese added on top. My wife had the slaw dog, good hotdog but the coleslaw doesn't really add anything. Buns were warm, soft and perfect. They also serve Mexican, pulled pork and salads. A small seating area inside: 3 tables for four and 2 tables for two. Another couple tables are outside. Judging by the Friday night business, it's a popular to-go place. There is only one person handling everything, so there may be a little wait if several are ahead of you. read more

Husband's words: "Olives don't belong in a burrito." For me I was surprised that I liked the olives in the burrito but it was an odd ingredient. We had the California burrito with Beef. Beef was good but the burrito was a confused burrito. Felt more like a salad (the sauce for the burrito is literally ranch lol) inside a tortilla. I would give the burrito at least a three but my husband is adamant that it's a one and half so I rounded up to two. Chili dog...I'm really hoping that it's a canned chili because if it's homemade, it tastes like a generic brand canned chili which is SAD!! I'm also weirded out by the non melted cheese. The chili wasn't even warm enough to melt the cheese put on top. The dedication to Mom and Dad really makes you want to love the place but sadly the food doesn't live up to it. ‍ read more

I was hungry. I was visiting a place with which I was unfamiliar -- Concord, California. So I pulled into a shopping center and started looking around for a place to have lunch. Just as I thought I was out of luck, I turned the corner and noticed Lisa V's. I gave it a shot. My order was simple -- a jumbo hotdog, which comes with a side order and a drink. I ordered potato salad and a root beer. To say that I was satisfied with my meal would be an understatement. Lisa V.'s absolutely exceeded my expectations! The staff was friendly and welcoming, the environment was clean and pleasant, and the quality of the food was better than anything I could have expected. Yes, I highly recommend Lisa V.'s. read more

Great spot, food and service. Support you local business owner and keep our community strong. Especially when they are as good as Lisa V's!! Thank you Lisa!! read more

Small review for a small place. Friendly hotdog and taco place. It seats about 16 but feels intimate. Fast service. Decent basic beef burrito--good value at under $8--but a little plain. If I had it over I'd add some more cilantro, onion or peppers to liven it up. If I could give half stars, I'd give it 3.5, but I'm rounding it up for the friendly service. read more

Finally had the opportunity to try this fabulous little place. It's in a plaza waiting for new stores to come in but what a charmer this area is! Shopped and enjoyed lunch here on a perfectly warm spring day. The Cheese Dog was scrumptious with a super soft bun and loads of cheese, mustard, and some tomato. Yummy!!! My friend had the pork street tacos and we shared a potato salad. Oh my. That potato salad was the best I've had in years. Will definitely add this to our round of cravings, highly recommend! read more

In my mind Lisa V's was the kind of place that sounded good until you showed up to eat. Just something about the place gave me an odd vibe for some reason, but last night I finally dined in. The place is small, very small, but they have seating both inside and out. The menu has some wide ranges; both a wet burrito and potato salad make an appearance on the same menu. Other options on the menu are: street tacos; salads; hot dogs; nachos; and fries. Speaking of wet burritos and potato salad, that is exactly what I had. Being a huge potato salad fan, when I saw the sign claiming that it was homemade, passed down from "dad" himself, I knew I had to try. It wasn't bad, definitely better than most potato salads I've had that claim to be "homemade". However, it's nothing I would rave about either. The wet burrito was OK. I like that the guy made it for me right in front of my eyes; however, it wasn't hot, it was barely even warm. The ingredients making it up tasted good: chicken, cheese, onions, etc., and even the sauce was good; however, if it was somewhat hot it would have been so much better. The place is very cutesy, a few inspirational art pieces on the walls, and a mural to "mom" and "dad" by the counter. Overall I'm glad I finally made it here. read more

Shared a small pork burrito so we could see what the 4.5 stars was all about...  it's not about the burritos, apparently.   It wasn't bad, but def not even close to great.  Lacking texture, it was just a cheesy, ricey, beany, squishy burrito.  Some pico de gallo would have done wonders, but I didn't see any & it wasn't offered.   Maybe their hotdogs are really on point and responsible for such a high rating.  Might go back to try one.  Service from the middle-aged Hispanic gentlemen was good.  He was pleasant, accurately described the food, and efficiently prepared it.  It was just about closing time, so he brought us some water at our outdoor table before he locked up.  Nice of him to think of that :) read more

Decided to try this place out, as we like to patron local restaurants during the quarantine, and i was very underwhelmed. Ordered a hotdog and a chili dog. I received and paid for a chicken burrito (bland and only tasted the tortilla), a hot dog with sauerkruat, and a hot dog. It was my fault for not checking the bag. The hot dog was okay. Nothing to write home about. read more

Good hot dogs and burritos. Killer potatoe salad!! They also do dinners for 4 people for take out that look great

My husband ordered take out last night in the midst of covid-19. Everything was so well organized and prepared. Staff was extremely friendly. Food was delicious!!! I highly recommend the wet burrito and street tacos. Can't wait to go again! read more

The potato salad really is that good, it's like homemade. I ordered a small potato salad to go. The girl was so sweet and I can hear her pounding my container to get it as full as possible. I didn't need a bag and she was so appreciative. It's the little things that we can do to help a small business. Cozy Place with a neighborhood vibe. I'm trying the street tacos next. read more

I can't say enough good things about Lisa V's. I've been going to this place since I was a kid and have always had delicious food here and I can HONESTLY say ALWAYS. Their hot dogs are their shining star, but their salads, soup, burritos, nachos and street tacos are scrumptious too. The value and taste cannot be beat. You can have an affordable lunch, while taking in the homey, cute vibe. I especially like the shaded outdoor seating during the warmer months. If you are looking for an affordable, delicious bite with consistently good service go here! read more

I really enjoyed this little place! I ordered a cheese dog and they did NOT skimp on any of the toppings! It was delicious. I've also had their nachos which were really good as well. Next time I think I'll try the burrito! I definitely recommend this place! read more

What a jewel, I stumbled in her after haven't been here for at least 5 years. I'm diabetic and needed food. Asap so I asked what most people get and they said the hot dogs and i got a krout/cheese dog, a drink and chips for about $8. The gave me a glass of water to tied me over while I waited and brought my cc to the tabe so as EVERYONE SHOULD TO (INCLUDING TO YPUR UBER AND LYFT DRIVERS) I tipped a buck. So. Many coices, tacos burrito's nachos. And so nice of a staff- THANK YOU SO MUCH I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER ALREADY. read more

Chili dogs are amazing and the chicken street tacos with their cilantro sauce are extremely delicious! My weekly lunch go to spot.

Went in today for a couple of hot dogs- went out with those and the best potato salad; better than it's ever been! Thanks to the nice woman who made it today and was working behind the counter. read more

Cute little place. This is one little cafe I have been curious to check out since discovering it last year. So being it was lunch time and I was close by, I decided to see what they offer. This place is small, cute and cozy feeling, with just a small handful of seating areas. Their menu is chalkboard written on the wall above the register and little kitchen area. Their menu offers a variety of American food such as Hot dogs, hot links, salads, as well as some Mexican food thrown in there such as street tacos and burritos. Most of the items seem fairly priced. And being I am usually on a low carb diet during the weekdays, I decided upon a hot sausage link ( bunless) with onions and mustard. I also ordered a chicken street taco which comes with a chipotle sauce, onions, cilantro and salsa. It also comes on a corn tortilla which I did not end up trying. My total came to $7.10 My hot link turned out fabulously delicious. Hot, spicy, and juicy. Also the taco's were surprisingly quite tasty. Not the best street tacos I have ever had of course, but decent. Especially the chipotle sauce. Overall, cute, clean place. Friendly service. Decent prices. And decently tasty food. read more

I'm p6 months pregnant and simply cannot get enough of this amazing place! The hot dogs are simple but to die for with any topping you want and just the perfect combination of crunch and juiciness in a hot dog that is hard to find. But more impressive is their potato salad! I'm a huge potato salad fan but extremely picky. Some put too much mayonnaise is it while others don't allow the potatoes to cook enough. This place nails it with the perfect amount of every ingredient and I won't spoil the fun you simply have to try it out for yourself. I am in love with this tiny gem and would encourage anyone to give it a try. With great prices and wonderfully friendly staff I couldn't help but rave about them! Thank you xoxo read more

Great hot dogs and friendly staff. Every time I go in there there's always a smile and asked how are you

I have a complaint!!! I would eat the wonderful hot dogs that Lisa and her staff make if only I didnt gain so much weight. It happens every time I start eating them every day. I have no problem eating them every day, heck, just about the best dog around! I wont admit that I'm addicted to hot dogs, there are some that just arent fit to eat, but Lisa's, well I cant seem to stay away long enough to lose some weight. Is there a "Hot Dog Diet" that anyone knows about? It would have to include hot dogs daily and STILL LOSE WEIGHT!! Actually, I have to admit I eat the double dog, do you think that might have something to do with the problem? Oh and I'm so happy that my daughter AND God daughter BOTH love hot dogs. Sure adds to a nice relationship - to eat a great hot dog with your daughter(s). read more

This place is GREAT! We had them cater a high school awards banquet and everyone raved over the food! it is hard to please 130 people but it was silence as the food was THAT GREAT! The coleslaw is amazing and I love all of their salads. Everyone is missing out on this great place to eat! read more

Wow, glad she was able to regain ownership....A huge change for the better. The place was alot past it's prime, now all redone, and clean, refreshed menu!! I had to try the Street Taco's as these are one of my favorite foods. Tasty Meat, nice Chimmichurri sause, and salsa. Can't' wait to try the Cuban, and one nice family story too! POTATO Salad is the bomb. I Dare you to find better, should be on a TV show it's that good. I'm pretty loyal to my chow, and you have just won me over. read more

Me and my family have been going there for years! They have consistently been the best hot dog, taco, burritos, etc., place in the county and elsewhere! Super Yum!!! read more

I love love love the bbq chicken salad! Chicken, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, cilantro and tortilla strips with a drizzle of bbq sauce and served with ranch - yummy! I ask for no chips to keep it lower carb and light on the bbq sauce. Delicious! read more

Great little place to grab a dog. Try the sauerkraut, it's delicious. The dog also popped when I bit into it. The woman who helped me was very friendly. The coleslaw was fresh and homemade, really tasty too. Nice change from going all the way to Caspers. I will be back. read more

We picked up my glasses from the optometrist next door and decided to try Lisa V's on recommendation of by an employee at the optometrist. Will rate the food from best to worse: Pork Tacos: excellent, good tortillas and pork and cilantro sauce Hot Dog: average to good. No complaints Nachos: not appetizing, these were 7-11 nachos, basically. The woman behind the counter was very nice. read more

Updated 4-28: Re-visited a few days ago for a quick lunch. Food was good as ever. Very yummy hot dogs, no doubt about it. The hot link is darn tasty too, has a nice spicy kick to it. Bonus (and reason for this update): Service was improved. Employees were friendly and efficient. Overall very pleasant experience. Verdict: Recommended for a fast and tasty hot dog fix! read more

Awesome homemade potato salad, made daily. The street tacos are a favorite. As are the dogs of course.

Like the tortilla soup. Love the street tacos. Didn't like being pushed out the door because it was close to closing time. Next time, just ask us to order our food to go, it would have been no problem Love the street tacos. Did I mention the street tacos? read more

Great hot dogs! But skip the burritos. I'd recommend going to one if the dozen or so Mexican restaurants on Clayton. read more

I am still reminiscing of my childhood after eating the chili dog at Lisa V's. The menu is very small, and I recall a different name of this place. However, I can't get over how sincere the food is here. It's not some over-rated little junk food place. It's a place that gives you homemade chili, fresh veggies, pillow-soft buns, and all sorts of street food, but without any processed food items. It's the kind of place your parents would take you after school, or before going to a playground when you were a kid. The kind of place where you feel cozy and welcomed. The interior hasnt changed one bit. The cashier was extremely hospitable, and kind. I am just so happy, and surprised at how good the food was. It's clean, relatively quiet, oldschool, friendly, cozy, and serves food that's real and comforting to eat. Just subtle yet perfect in every way. It's kind of amazing how great a little place like this has remained all these years. It has been 19 years since I have last come here. read more

Always good hot dogs. Definitely the best potato salad on the planet. A Concord must.

Lisa's was a major staple in my childhood...we'd come here almost everyday in the summertime, after soccer games, school events, etc. I still have never had a hot dog that even remotely compares! The burritos are also aaaaamazing. Great location, plenty of parking, and extremely friendly people. Don't skip this spot! read more
