“We stopped by Taqueria Diaz for a late lunch after cherry-picking in Brentwood, on our way to Tracy. My wife was wanting something spicy, so after checking Google reviews, we decided to give this spot a try—and we’re so glad we did.

We ordered four tacos and a bottle of Coke, totaling around $16. Since the restaurant doesn’t have indoor seating, everything came neatly packed in to-go boxes. Each container held two tacos, a slice fresh lemon, pickled jalapeños, and radishes. On the side, they also included grilled onion and pepper, still warm and full of smoky flavor. And, a bag of taco chips was included three different salsas.

Every bite was simply amazing—honestly hard to describe just how good the tacos were. The meat was perfectly seasoned, and the balance of spice, acidity, and freshness was spot on. As a bonus, one of the staff kindly offered a rice milk dessert with cinnamon, which was delicious and comforting.

Though it’s a slight detour off the main route, Taqueria Diaz is absolutely worth the stop. If you’re in the area (or even if you’re not), don’t miss this place—it’s a hidden gem.

Keep in mind that there is no indoor seats.”

“I got the brisket sandwich, which was so good plus a half pound of brisket and a half a rack of the ribs. The ribs are so flavorful, you don't even need barbecue sauce. The chili is off the charts good.”

“Lovely afternoon spent here on a Saturday. The tasting room employees are SUPER friendly. We tried the white wine flight and really enjoyed the Viognier and Chardonnay. The flight comes with a delicious cookie and they gave us complimentary bread w/olive oil and balsamic. The lawn has lots ofpicnic benches and the view is stunning. Can’t wait to come back to hear live music and have a bottle!”

“We were meeting friends in Half Moon Bay for a picnic and had promised to bring fried chicken. The Colonel was closed, but we read about Krispy and decided to try them. It’s in the convenience store in a gas station. Didn’t look too promising, but we were pleasantly surprised. They were just bringing out freshly cooked pieces of chicken and chicken tenders. Terrific! Everyone had their fill, nothing was left. Perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned plus a very pleasant staff!”

“I had a fabulous time... good times with good friends.”

“It's a really good pizza that you can get with all the typical Indian flavors instead of the typical American pizza. The pizza crust pared with any indian spices works really well together.

Got 3 pizzas for a 6 person dinner. Everyone liked them.

They gotta do something with the interior to make it more inviting. Long rows of tables side by side with very bright light is not inviting at all. Be great for a big party or team.”

“The customer service is really off the hook here as soon as you come in they tell you about the menu with everyone’s favorite. We got two free slushes on the house. Her name was Nini that works at the front here on Lone Tree Way. Love the food to the cheese fries options. Definitely an awesome place if you’re craving chicken and fries.”

“The wait time to get the cookies is not that good even with ordering online. However, the actual cookies are so good and addicting, I keep finding myself going back for more.”

“Super great food and service. Love seeing good servers, they hard to find. Love Akshit always super good to us when we come in.”

“**Denny's Brentwood: A Surprisingly Good Breakfast Experience**

I recently had the chance to try out the new Denny's location in Brentwood, CA, off Brentwood Boulevard. I was initially skeptical, as I hadn't had a particularly positive experience at Denny's in the past. However, I was pleasantly surprised.

I ordered the California Skillet with chorizo, which was a generous portion of scrambled eggs, chorizo, peppers, onions, and melted cheese, all served sizzling hot on a cast-iron skillet. The flavors were well-balanced, and the dish was quite satisfying. To accompany my meal, I opted for the bottomless mimosas with orange juice, which were refreshing and a great way to start the day.

The skillet came with three flour tortillas, which were perfect for scooping up the delicious filling. While I appreciated the generous portion size, I did find the tortillas to be a bit dry.

The wait for a table was about 20 minutes, which is understandable considering the popularity of this new location. However, the wait was made more bearable by the efficient QR code payment system when it was time to leave, which allowed me to pay my bill from my seat.

The restaurant was packed, and the service was surprisingly good. Our server was attentive and friendly, and our food arrived promptly. The overall value of the meal was excellent, with affordable prices for a satisfying breakfast.

Based on my experience, I would definitely recommend this Denny's location to anyone looking for a good breakfast spot in Brentwood. I'll certainly be back again, and I'll be sure to bring a friend to enjoy the delicious food and friendly atmosphere.

Room for improvement: The arcade game should be moved to make more room for those waiting. I didnt see any outside heaters, but maybe I missed it. This would likely convince more people to eat outside.

“Don’t go as much as I would like but every time I have gone the service is friendly and the food is great.”

“Came here today to try something different, pretty close to my house as well so we decided to give it a try. We ordered the mango lussi, butter chicken, and the naan plate. Mango lussi was 10/10 perfect liquidity, sweet, and the mango taste is definitely good, highly recommend ordering that. Butter chicken 9/10 savory with a hint of spice, not really a spice kind of guy but it was still really good. Naan plate, we ordered the plate which included the cheese, garlic, and plain. All flavors were good but the best was definitely garlic. The service was very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. They had music in the background as well not to loud so I could easily have conversation with the people I was with. Overall definitely recommend it 10/10 which is why I’d give it 5 stars!”

“Awesome Mexican food that is both authentic and full of flavor! The quality and quantity of the dishes exceeded my expectations, and every bite was delicious. The service was excellent — very friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for great Mexican food with an authentic touch.”

“I would like to say that since Grant Henley became our General Manager it’s been great! He is an awesome GM. Grant understands his employees. He’s very professional and polite.”

“Love this place! Great waitress. Great chef. Great drinks. We are down the street and it’s our little home away from home when we need to get out to a local dinner that makes us feel like we are on vacation”

“Wish I lived closer, we’d eat here all the time. Best darn brisket I’ve ever had, I mix it with the Mac n cheese and bbq sauce YUMMY!”

“The food was great! The service was very consistent and friendly. I appreciate the way the chefs were able to accommodate and adapt to the dietary needs of my guest.”

“We have used Green Flour bakery, many many times and we are never disappointed, each time just seems to outdo last time we ordered with Green Flour bakery. Exceptional craftsmanship the cakes are always moist, Tasty and designs are always amazing top-notch! We can’t wait to use green flower bakery again. The customer service is exceptional. You feel like they actually care about you as a customer and your needs and wants.”

“Love their shu mai and har gow. Love how they’re big and satisfying. Really big fan of their fried sesame balls with red beans too. This place quickly became a favorite place of mine.”

“The best burger I’ve had in a long time. Excellent friendly service always a favorite of mine!”

“Best yogurt so creamy good”

“I had to go out of my way to say WOW, that was the best granola I have ever had in my life. I love the cocoa and peanut butter and appreciate that it is not too sweet and feels super healthy. I hope to be back next time!”

“The gorditas de asada and barbacoa where delicious the queso Oaxaca tops it off I recommend to try them I liked them but to each there own..!!!!”

“Absolutely terrific place to go. Pho is terrific but so are the meat and rice dishes. Super crazy nice people. My new go-to for Vietnamese. Plus about 15% less in price than the places closer to me.”

“Always good food. Large portions”

“This is the best OMB (old-man-breakfast) spot in Brentwood. The service is prompt, polite, and accurate. The food is exactly what you'd hope for from your hometown diner: a little guilty, but lots of love. And the atmosphere to match it all. Prideful pictures of sports teams, tractors, and classic cars without losing that country feel. A true pictorial history of Brentwood. I have liked almost all elements of whatever I have ordered, but the marble-rye bread and homemade salsa are not to me missed, ne ot breakfast or lunch. Please tip your servers well B)”

“Sandwiches were filling and delicious. Everybody was so friendly.”

“(Note: CASH ONLY!) Delicious food with good, big portion sizes at reasonable price. My friend got the shrimp burrito and I got the tostada plate with shrimp- we both ate everything! Very satisfying meal. Lots of seating options inside and outside. I also enjoyed the horchata. It was nice to sit outside on a hot day near the misters by the plants. Bathroom available with key. Parking lot for customers available as well.
This is also close to Brentwood city hall, the library, and the park. Great place to bring family or friends to enjoy a nice meal and then walk around after or perhaps bring food to eat in the park.”

“Absolutely love this spot ! The owner is a jewel and so is her family! Very kind people city great Boba! I love the oreo snow? double blended and their macaroon ice cream sandwiches( fav coffee hazelnut)! They are delicious ? ?
Definitely don't sleep on this spot !”

“Nice and super friendly very clean quick service 🙏🙏”
