“Oysters looked good but I opted for the crab melt. I thought the crab was decent. The bread was nice and toasted which was a plus. Otherwise I thought overall the place was ok. Small seating area which is understandable considering where they are located. Could be a fun spot with the right people.“

“Absolutely AMAZING hole in the wall ran by a sweet family. Stumbled upon this gem on our drive home and it did not disappoint. Everything was incredibly flavorful! We had the Phơ Tái, Kang Panang (red curry), Fried rice and Crispy Egg rolls. It was so good we forgot to feed the phone before digging in. Would definitely make the drive back.“

“Love the salmon and my new fav is the dynamite shrimp bowl!! Rice cooked perfectly, shrimp are perfectly cooked and just the right spicyness and bright flavors to perk it up! Delicious! My dad in law LOVES the fish and chips! Says one of the best ever and he’s in his 80’s and from the south so must be good ! Lol 😊 only bad thing to say is the parking in the center it’s in is awful! Staff is sweet and helpful! Thanks great experience !!“

“Great seafood boil restaurant! The place was decorative, and fairly clean for a seafood boil restaurant. The service was great, and the servers and staff were all really friendly. They had great prices, and their crawfish was HUGE! For the interior, it was really cool to see all the different people who ate there, and their decor was great. However, I feel like the lighting could have been a bit better, and have more brighter lights. Although the lights were a bit dim, the food makes up for everything!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem for Authentic Mexican Flavor!

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)

Epale Taqueria & Seafood absolutely exceeded my expectations! From the moment I walked in, the welcoming vibe and delicious smells set the tone for a great meal.

Food: Everything was bursting with flavor! The tacos were perfectly seasoned, and the tortillas tasted fresh and homemade. The shrimp and fish tacos were especially amazing—crispy, juicy, and full of authentic taste. Don’t skip the house-made salsas either—they really elevate every bite.

Service: The staff was friendly, fast, and genuinely cared about our experience. They checked in regularly and offered great menu suggestions. It felt like we were being hosted by family.

Atmosphere: Laid-back but vibrant. Clean, colorful, and full of energy without being too loud. It’s a great spot whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for a full meal.

Final Verdict: Epale is the kind of taqueria you want to keep coming back to. Fresh food, bold flavors, and outstanding service—definitely one of the best Mexican spots around. Highly recommend“

“Great food, Indoor dining and excellent service!“

“We went to a baby shower last Saturday. We sat outside which was lovely. The service and food is ALWAYS so good! They do not skimp on their portions! We have been coming here since 1985. Thanks Tony, you know how to do it right!“

“Nominated for one of Martinez best Mexican restaurants!!🥳🍽️“

“Wonderful food and great service!“

“Our family and friends celebrated at home with an array of our favorites for all tastes. The staff went all out for us with abundant sides. Leftovers for days later. Our family and guests were 😃. Reasonable expenses. Will do again!“

“great portion for the money, very friendly service and a clean looking kitchen.“

“This is the best one pho I’ve had in California. Pho is probably my favorite food ever and I’m always looking for a spot. The broth had so much depth I actually felt like the Sriracha took away from it. The noodles are fresh and so tender. My husband orders the bun plates and those don’t disappoint either. Now I’m always looking for excuses to be in Vallejo. Their service is awesome too. Friendly and quick. Restroom is clean. Nothing but good things to say. But seriously the pho is incredible“

“Been going here for 20 years. Never a bad meal!“

“Fresh seafood. Everything done well here! Will come back!“

“My friends and I enjoyed this restaurant so much. The food was done so well, all the dishes we had were creative takes on Mexican food. It was light but satisfying, The portions were perfect. I can't wait to go back and try other dishes.“

“Sept 21, 2025 - PM - The place is clean, cozy, makes you feel like home. Nice staff. Plenty free parking, safe neighborhood. Food was good with the exception of the onions. I actually like onions but the taste was too strong ( a first in my life) due to the cut in big chunks and not being cooked ( it felt as raw as in a salad) - I had 3 dishes, the bad one was the cashew chicken. At home I still had the taste of onions and some of it remained even after I brushed…Except the onions, the food was great.“

“Absolutely wonderful food and service. Will be back to try other delights.“

“The food is great!!! Crew is awesome!!! Dine by the sea!!! Highly recommended!!!“

“The super wet burrito with the green sauce is the bomb! we also had a la carte Chile relleno this is our second time having the same and it is so good!
The place is clean, the food is good, the only thing missing was music maybe they just forgot this time. This is becoming my new go to for quick Mexican food!“

“I love Bamboo Garden! They have incredible lunch specials that could easily feed 2 people. My fave menu items are pork chow mein and chicken lettuce wraps. The food is always fresh and good quality. The staff is so friendly, too! Bamboo Garden has become one of my favorite restaurants and I love supporting them.“

“The taste is very good, I will go there again next time.“

“Poke House is a bit out of the way for me, but I have religiously returned over and over again as the freshness and flavor are the best around!
I never thought I would like the zucchini noodles bet they are a great addition with sushi rice!
Thank You to the staff which is always quick and attentive!“

“Chicken really good, bean & cheese was a lil goofy. Same with the prices lil high. Tortilla was average. Circling back to the chicken it was good. Love that they got 3 types of Valentina on the tables. But the cheese is different. Everything tastes a lil sweet here.“

“Highly highly recommend Bag O’ Crab. We went for dinner tonight, Valentine’s day at 6pm and sat immediately. The food was so good Cooked perfectly with great flavor. Unlike other places, they know how to season food and cook with flavor. Large portions… Combo #2 1lb of snow crab legs and 1lb of head on shrimp w/corn on cob/potatoes and sausage $46. We got 2 whole crab clusters and roughly 15-18 large head on shrimp. So much food we brought home leftovers. You ant go wrong at this place.“

“Loved it good food nice service“

“The best sushi in the east bay!“

“I'm confused by the lack of recent reviews.. i went here the other night because they were open til 11:45pm which is awesome cus i clock out at 11.. went with a safe order, some zhangzhou rice n a couple chx skewers.. this place is the real deal whoevers reading this, you can safely ignore the old shitty reviews. The food was just insanely good.. not a particularly complicated dish but its one of those.. anyone can do this but few have mastered it* 100% worth it to try this place out. Happy new year everyone ^_^,!,,!“
