I love this place. I've been here several times. I definitely need to put a photo next time…read more Pros: It's away from the busy part of downtown Walnut Creek so its easy to park without getting charge. They have a big parking lot in the back. Its nicely done inside, clean and the outside patio is very quaint. Although the view is the street and the postal office, its still nice to sit outside on a nice warm day. Service is always warm and friendly. The bartender is always greeting people and the waitresses are always checking on you. The food is great! My husband always orders the trio enchiladas. I normally get the Arroz a la ezkina because it reminds me of a paella. I tried the street tacos and fajita too. Cons Sometimes the arroz can be salty. But I'm sensitive to it so it might be different for others. I still order it over and over again and let them know to go easy on the salt. Last time we were charge for chip refill. That's fine but surprising.

Hold the phone! This is our fourth visit to La Ezkina Grill & Cantina in Walnut Creek, and just…read morewhen you thought it couldn't get any better, they surprise you with something knew and absolutely scrumptious. This Spanish/Mexican restaurant is simply EXCEPTIONAL. It's located across from the Post Office in Walnut Creek, just a short distance from the swanky North Main Street restaurant and bar scene. "Ezkina" is Basque for the Spanish word "esquina" which means "corner," and you can spot the difference the minute you walk in: real cotton/linen napkins on every table - none of the polyester or paper nonsense. Order a drink. Every cocktail is top-of-the-line. My wife had a margarita, and I had a Manhattan. Did the bartender go to Harvard's Bar Tender's School? We savored every sip. We enjoy trying new dishes, so this time I had the Chicken Mole De La Casa, and my wife had the Huitlacoche Stuffed Chicken (Huitlacoche adds sort of a smoky, woody, mushroom, and black truffle taste to the dish). Both were out-of-this-world delicious. AND, as a surprise, they offered an off-menu dessert: Carajillo Bread Pudding (a rich spiked bread pudding with notes of coffee and Licor 43 topped with vanilla ice cream). So the next time you're heading to the Post Office, bring a thirst for something new and visit Ezkina... there's a ton of free parking behind the restaurant. Main Street eat your heart out.

My friend and I just had lunch at El Talpense this week and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience…read more We had been there before, but it had been awhile, and we were delighted with the selection and quality of the food. The friendly service and colorful and clean ambience also did not disappoint.

The place has a Cal-Mex decor -- laid back, open with Mexican artwork. Staff is friendly and casual. I had a couple of jalapeño margaritas (had to try). They were tasty, even if relatively mild that day (batches of jalapeños vary. I get it), a mango ceviche appetizer (shared) and birria empanadas as my entree, even if they are listed as an appetizer. Everything was very good!

Today we came in for their new weekend buffet option @ 25.00/person, which includes fountain and iced tea drinks. Excellent idea for a buffet... the last time we had AYCE w/ Mexican choices was at HometownBuffet or even at the Golden Coral lol La Doña offers authentic Mexican cuisine and the thoughtfulness that is seen in the dishes executed was really well done! We saw them being advertised on FB for weekend buffet at La Doña .. trying to get the word out, gatekeeping feels wrong....Hoping these reviews generate more foot traffic! Hits for me were their in-house tortillas and some smack verde chiliquiles! The fam enjoyed all their protein selection, pork chili verde, chicken fajitas, carne asada...their refried beans are so good: thick, creamy and powerfully flavorful with that lard/porky essence, along side some aromatic fluffy rice! There's chorizo and eggs, my daughter devoured along w/ some pineapple jello! Hubby liked their chicken mole and steak rancheros! They even offered a bread pudding w/ a flan topping...so yummy! Pazole was sublimely porky and smokey, and their hominy cooked to the desired consistency, soft and not chalky... their menudo w/ honeycomb tripe was very soft, no need to chew consistency...good enough for the teefless really! Add all fixings they offer on the side w/ a healthy squeeze of lime juice, onions and cilantro. The young ladies who served us brought endless drinks and cleared our plates and checked on us every so often. The vibe is here is always "welcome home familia"... la Doña really takes care of you...check them out yourself and support your local businesses! Mucho gracias!

This has been my favorite Mexican restaurant in Fairfield for over six years now. We haven't been…read morethere in a while so we decided to go back. During that visit, I decided I would try something different. I usually get the three item combo platter and get three enchiladas and one tostada. And I loved it every single time! This time I went with the carne asada platter. I think it was listed under the specialty dishes, but for sure it was $19. The prices have gone up significantly since we started eating here. We loved this restaurant before because the food was great and the prices were reasonable. But I was very disappointed in the Carne Asada. It was a cheap piece of meat that was dry and had average flavor. I think La Dona could do so much better. They have made a lot of changes recently. Hopefully, that doesn't mean the quality of the food isn't as good anymore. They now have a breakfast buffet on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 2pm. Haven't tried it yet but I plan to. Service and ambience is the same as always although I did notice there were less customers than normal. Definitely going back to order my usual. I made a mistake trying something new.

Thanks to a recent Facebook post I saw raving about the Yucamami food truck, I decided to sample some of their offerings. My husband and I got panuchos, cochinita tacos, and empanadas. Everything was delicious but WOW were those panuchos amazing!! We finished our plate and immediately got up to order more. A dish from the Yucatán, panuchos are tortillas stuffed with refried black beans, then fried and topped with lettuce, marinated and pulled chicken, cucumber, tomato, avocado, and pickled onion. Divine! The family who owns and operates the truck are wonderful, lovely people who clearly take pride in what they offer. I already can't wait to come back!

Now the reason for only 2 stars considering the food was very good ( what I actually ate ) . I watched the guy cooking ,, cut raw pork on the cutting board and then only wipe it with a dry rag after , then he put tortillas and bread on the same area without actually cleaning it ,, this is a huge no no ... I threw my torta away because he cut the bread in the same area . Another problem was it took 30 minutes for a to go order ,,, I ordered 3 tacos and a torta all Carne Asada,, waited 30 minutes . Unfortunately due to them cutting raw pork on the cutting board and not cleaning it I wouldn't go back , this is a great way to give someone food poisoning.

The salsa had a little kick without being overly spicy, and the corn ribs were easily the highlight of the meal--definitely my favorite dish. I ordered the chicken al pastor tacos and, unfortunately, they were very bland. The chicken didn't have much flavor, and the salsa served with the tacos was also lacking. I did ask for extra pineapple, which added some sweetness and was probably the best part of the tacos. The service was excellent, and the restaurant has a trendy, modern atmosphere. Just know that this isn't a traditional Mexican restaurant--it's more of an upscale, bougie take on Mexican food, similar to Puesto. If you're looking for a fun vibe and good service, it's worth a visit. If you're after bold, authentic Mexican flavors, you may be disappointed.
