50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants El Sobrante

“I would never eat off of another taco truck. This Taco's Rodriguez, makes the best authentic Mexican food. I have been eating here for as long as they have been there. I don't eat Mexican food just anywhere. I'm picky when it comes to my Mexican food, and I have never been disappointed by these guys.I will continue to eat this food, and continue toreccomend all my family and friends to them, if they want good authentic Mexican food. 100%“

“Two days later and I'm still thinking about the shukaquiles, I don't think I'll ever forget it. It was delicious! The eggs were so soft, and the pita chips so full of flavorful sauce but yet so crisp. I don't live in the area but will be sure to stop again to try more of the menu if ever I'm there.“

“Great atmosphere and delicious food! Outdoor dining, too!“

“Excelente personas muy trabajadoras ambiente familiar y bastantitas menús saludables lo recomiendo al 100%“

“Char Siu pork plate was decent but not phenomenal. I like the juiciness of the pork and a lil crunch on the skin. Decoration was cute, cucumber pickles were rotten/had a bit of foul smell. Not sure if it’s worth $23-24 after tax. I can easily get this dish at a Chinese restaurant or Chinatown for cheaper.
I also wish the eggplant salad had less sauce because the aroma of star anise or sth was too much for me.“

“The lamb chops were phenomenal!“

“Upbeat generous dude with tasty wholesome food.“

“This is a top go to spot for me. I’m not always around during their hours, or forget the options of places, so I get something from here about once every 6 weeks. As vegan I either get the falafel sandwich or plate. I prefer the plate. It amazes me how simple the combination of vegetables and sauces are, and yet it’s so flavorful. I feel full and healthy after eating at this joint and the people working there have such a nice vibe. If vegan they will swap out hummus for the yogurt based items.“

“Tucked away on Mare Island, this little coffee shop is amazing. They use local coffee beans, and the vibe is so relaxed. They are good friendly, with a water bowl in front, and a really neat patio in back.

The coffee shop itself is an old, kinda Victorian style house where they have transformed the whole bottom level into a coffee shop/seating area. There are photos of Mare Island from when it was a US Navy base. It's very cool.

Plus right now they have it all decorated for Halloween. Highly recommend this place. Good first date option, provides a lot of conversation topics.

Dietary restrictions: They do have non-cow milk alternatives available.“

“Thank You for the Vegan options!! 🌱“

“I saw someome make a TikTok about this place and immediately knew I had to add that to my list. I headed out to Berkeley on a Friday morning to try it out and I bought a friend who isnt a big fan of Thai and or Asian food. I was thankful to experience this style of northern Thai cuisine I believe the order Tanzie referred to it as. The hospitality and service was above average. I enjoyed all of my food and so did my friend. The pork jowl was agreed to be are favorite out of the all the dishes we tried. Very juicy , flavorful and just all around deliscious topped off with that crispy fried garlic. The brown rice over that soft scrambled "lava egg" was to die for paired with the savory tomato based minced pork that I ordered extra spicy of course. The star of the show that me and my friend both agreed on had to be the "prik nam pla" which I would describe as a sweet and spicy vinegar or fish sauce based dipping sauce accompanied by a nice punch of spice from the thai chili peppers. I dont have any complaints whatsoever and I will definitely be back.“

“So good I would go every day 🙏💕“

“Best of the best. Tons of choices, exquisite French patisseries, true North African specialties… there is so much to choose from. High quality and scrumptious! We will be back!!!“

“Atmosphere, customer service, prices and the freaking food is amazing 😍. Highest rated casual dining from Hayward to Vallejo! For good reason! This is a must if in the area. We will be back!“

“Tummy comfort food in great post-industrial space. Friendly service, craft cocktails. Good menu options and specials. Outdoor tables also available.“

“We recently rented Tarocco for our baby shower and it was perfect. The owner, Sequoia, is thoughtful, energetic, and eager to make sure your event goes well. She helped us design a menu that worked around specific food accommodations, her communication was clear and timely -- really everything you could ask for from a host. After the event we received many comments about how great the food was and how well suited the space was for our group of ~50. Would highly recommend Tarocco to anyone considering an event there.“

“Great food. Nice owners. Chef used to cook for Bette’s Oceanview Diner. No wait. Good service .“

“Looking to beat the heat so we headed to Berkeley for lunch. Got the Pastrami Ruskie with Latke. Sooooo good. Huge portions. Friendly service. They were out of Prosecco so they couldn’t make me their Old Man & The Deli. Got a margarita and it was both tasty & packed a punch.“

“Great atmosphere . Nice people“

“Live music, dance and poetry; something good on most nights. Linchpin of the Bay Area's traditional music scene, particularly Irish/Celtic. A community treasure.“

“Pretty good food. I think we will go back“

“My sister and I just had a couple of Cali Alley burgers delivery and these things are good! Next time I'm in Berkeley, I will definately order again.“

“I got the jade curry and Thai curry puff along with a smoothie. The experience was nice, food was good and our server James was very attentive and friendly. If you’re in the area be sure to check it out!“

“This is the best Indian food you can get in Berkeley! (Even better than Viks) We got the Vada Pav, Masala Chai and Donne Biryani. Everything tasted great and authentic! Vada pav reminded me of homemade ones in Bombay. Owner was very nice and welcoming. We are definitely coming back for sure!“

“We had the best brunch experience ever today! The lemon ricotta pancakes along with the cheesy potatoes were delish! We sat outside on their darling little patio and listened to live music, it was so lovely. But the best part of all was the outstanding service from Maxine, her suggestions were on point and her beautiful energy was exactly what our morning needed! Will definitely be back!“

“Friendly staff🥰, best bagel in the states🥯“

“Excellent coffee and exceptional house made baked goods! Everyone who works there is super friendly and they love dogs, which is important for our family, especially when we're en route to daycare or the park with the pup and kiddo. My only wish is that they had a space with a nice seating area so I could soak up the good vibes for longer.“

“Im a local food blogger/chef I had a great experience at this restaurant I ordered the chili chicken and my God this is great dish I would order this again again and again! Salute to the restaurant and who ever cooked this! GREAT FOOD GREAT SERVICE“

“I went there right after lunch, I don't usually like places like that because I have trouble talking, but the lady had a lot of patience and listened to my requests and doubts, since it was something very new to me. Enjoyed very much in every part, certainly will come again another time.“

“Such delicious boba tea!! The staff was incredibly helpful—we brought our kids and they helped us figure out what would be appropriate drinks to give them (no caffeine, no sugar level but added sweetness from the fruit). Great prices, too!

Kid-friendliness: Can adjust sweetness, ice amount, and choose a non caffeinated tea or sparkling water to use“

“😀First visit here after years of walking past it. The veggie combo and meat combo platters were among the best I've had at Berkeley and Oakland's many great Ethiopian restaurants. Service was very fast and friendly and outdoor back-patio was peaceful. I will be back soon and often.“

“Absolutely love this place! Incredible atmosphere wonderful place to go with friends or family and the food is fantastic! Highly recommend checking this out if you’re in the neighborhood, there’s not that many places like this left that really give a great family experience!“

“The food, drinks, staff and atmosphere was excellent. This is my nephews favorite spot. Thanks Kelly for our family outing today.“

“Best espresso of any of the highwire locations I have been too. It is a darker roast than I like, but they have a great recipe so it doesn't get sour or bitter. My only complaint, not enough seats, then again it is in a plant store, not a standalone shop, which leads to some amusing scenarios with entitled people like the scene I saw. So don't wonder far from the stand even if there is a line.

An upper middle class woman took a drink, sipped from it AND THEN ASKED "is this the oat latte for Sarah?" They called out the name of the drink and the person who it was for, CAPPUCCINO FOR JOYCE. Who takes a sip from a drink and then ask if it is yours. They did not apologize, making excuses, and saying oops is not an apology. This after having taken a sip from it. I would have charged her for it if I worked in that stand.
But the baristas there are super nice and friendly, even answering my questions about their espresso ratio etc. would“

“Looking for a place for brunch last night, and found this gem! Don’t be scared by the line because it’s 10000% worth it, AND you might just get a free mimosa while waiting? staff feels like family, and you can def taste the love in the food. Buen trabajo muchachos!! Saluddd?“

“My fave place to grab n go some homemade muy rico tamales! It's literally a window you order at, limited street parking, but you can get thicc delicious tamales hot and ready to eat or to keep for another day. They last a week in the fridge. But mine never last that long. Chicken is my fave, the cheese is good too. Veggies is my least fave but I still like it! Huge portions. Quality people and hearty tamales. Go get you some from Tamaleria Azteca!“

“Outstanding spot to watch sports, chill, and more“

“The perfect stop in Hercules, with a gorgeous view of the water. Had a taro milk tea, a chicken empanada (get the chimichurri!) & a guava alfajor — all delicious! The seating is only outdoors & is limited but it is a spot deserving of your business. Fast service & fantastic food & drink in a beautiful spot — what more could you ask for?“

“I go to this place often and the staff now has my favorite table the way I like my water yeah they are good...! Food is excellent service is great.

Parking: Next to the post office 🏤 lots of foot traffic crazy homeless outside“

“Awesome place to shop! My “go to” produce market for incredibly fresh produce, fruits and dry goods. Great meat and fish market. Superb bakery. Excellent wine shop, And Market Hall pasta shop/main market is simply amazing in SO many ways. Plus, super easy parking and good hours ... important to me and a for real plus. Love this place!!!“

“Kudos to the crew at Thornhill Cafe. Thank you for always taking good care of me. I love your green smoothies. They're refreshing and just make you feel good and your breakfast bagels are awesome. It's my favorite place to stop when I'm working in the hills of Oakland. Doesn't seem to matter how many people are in there. You still get us in and out in no time. You're the best!!“

“What a cute spot. Stopped in for a cold drink and to use the bathroom in the middle of a hellishly long wait selling clothes in a cramped crossroads, what a relief to find this spot. I look forward to coming back. I like the pineapple hops cider the server recommended.“

“Love the food and the community!!“

“Wide variety of Peruvian treats especially fried plantains and pisco chilcanos“

“I love Thayir Sadam. It’s an authentic South Indian comfort food that tastes so amazing, clean and fresh. The service was excellent and the owner was very friendly and helpful
Thank you for bringing this to our neighborhood
I will be back soon“

“The best gelato I’ve found with many unique and delicious flavors using fresh fruits and ingredients on a daily basis. I come in every time I am in Berkeley, because it’s head and shoulders above the gelato in the Sacramento area!“

“The mushroom tofu spring rolls are something worth writing about! They're quite flavorful, yummy, and light. It's a perfect on-the-go meal, and such a reasonable price. And the service was great! I'll be back to try their other vegetarian options.“
