“Amazing restaurant, Service was awesome, pricing is completely reasonable and affordable.Atmosphere is cozy and very friendly. Brian the owner came to check on us and was hospitable and cheerful.Let's get to the good part. FOOD.I have eaten many plates of chilaquiles in my day and I can honestly say this establishment IS THE BEST I'VE HAD. The super burrito was perfect as well.If you haven't been here you are missing out.Well worth the visit, I will be returning to try the many other dishes that are offered.Great job Brian ◉‿◉PS photo is of the chilaquiles rojo“
“We stayed in Vallejo back in September for our Napa trip and I am just now getting around to leaving all of my reviews. We stopped in here for a couple of beers and food after we arrived in Vallejo because we had an hour or so before we could check into our airbnb. It was nice because it ended up being just a couple of minutes from the airbnb! They had a very nice selection of beers to choose from. We ordered our drinks and food and then sat outside on the patio to get some sun. They had a lot of plants growing in planters all around, so it was pretty despite it only being a multi-level deck. The staff were friendly, the food was good, and the beers even better. A lovely neighborhood spot for some drinks and snacks.“
“Delicious food. Amazing service. And great portions. We got the poke bowls; they were great!! We also got the 3 amigos special roll, green tea, miso soup, and salmon nigiri. All amazing!! Our server was nice, quick, and very attentive. Always making sure our tea was hot and we were well covered. A couple outdoor tables, and a good amount of indoor. Tons of take out action. They have cool purple rice as a signature. And the fish was very tasty! Highly recommend. There is a good sized parking lot next to the restaurant. Just be sure to park with caution; the neighboring Ace hardware brings a lot of turn over of large work trucks that have some challenges with the parking lot. This is a great spot!!Vegetarian options: Tons of veg optionsDietary restrictions: Tons of veg optionsParking: Street parking and a lot both free!Kid-friendliness: Yes!Wheelchair accessibility: A bit tight, but I believe it is Ada compliant“

“Seafood Curry with Lobster and Crab. Yummm. Chef Sonam always shows up and shows out! Laso has the best food in American Canyon... hands down! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I highly recommend that everyone go check this place out. You won't be disappointed.“
“Cozy, mom&pop style Thai restaurant in downtown Vallejo. Went there for lunch with a couple of friends, its decorated nicely inside, and you can seat yourself if its not busy. Our waiter was friendly and slightly confused by one of my friends commenting on how much he liked the spiderman decoration in the men's restroom; if they had followed the same theme in the women's. He laughed and said no....they thought about Barbie or Hello Kitty...but decided to stay neutral. Getting to our food....I loved what I ordered which was the Thai basil chicken...the sauce was so flavorful, couldve used just a little more steamed rice to mop it up, but tasty none the less. Overall good experience.... Ciao for now“
“Stopped by randomly during a commute from SSF to Vallejo on a week day. A friendly gentleman was running the place. I ordered the traditional acai bowl which was $13 for a small size. It was different from other acai bowls I've had as it had condensed milk and powdered milk. I loved condensed milk and powdered milk as a kid - so my inner child was jumping for joy as I ate the entire thing. It was topped with fresh bananas and strawberries. Delicious. Would come back here to support this small business. Bathroom was clean too.“
“I recommend the Urban plates restaurant for everyone who wants to get a delicious food with an excellent service in a perfect atmosphere.They have nice people working there.Adriana is always the best, she has a very nice costumer service and she is a hard worker, adding Ana, Kaitlin and Jeared too.Thank you for your service“
“I randomly stopped by this place on the way to the post office for a snack. I didn’t have any expectations but I am blown away by the food. Best Banh Mi I have ever had! The bread was baked to perfection, the ingredients were generous and delicious. I will definitely come back for more!“
“Saturday review, so beignets available! The best beignets I've had since I moved to California, but still not quite as good as New Orleans.The Workshop is basically a takeout window, but there are a couple of outside tables, so hopefully you can sit and have your coffee and beignets popping hot.“
“What a lovely cafe to enjoy. Small and quiet. Great food. Enjoyed our breakfast. Avocado toast with salmon was sooo good. The eggs, potatoes and bacon were perfect. Coffee is outstanding. Has great garden seating or inside table seating. Friends have said lunch is great too. We will return.“
“Excellent Bay Area specialty coffee with vegan food menu and enjoyable for anyone! The coffee menu had a handful of creative and tasteful signature drinks along with the classics. While in line I heard someone ask if the drinks were sweet and they kindly said “not St4rbux sweet” which is a green flag for sure to anyone who really knows coffee. They also offered that customer to make their drink less sweet if they were worried. I had my go-to iced americano to see how good their espresso shots taste since I was sure they were doing something right with so many other good reviews and my experience up to that point. The good vibes were there before I even ordered and that coffee hit too! The Avocado toast is on the fluffiest freshest bread with some sprinkled hemp seeds and chili flakes. I also opted for some chili oil and loved it! Super friendly service and a wait time that was indicative of the care they put into each order without having to wait too long! I wish I lived around here cause it seems like THE local community coffee spot I would be frequenting.“
“I stopped by here because it was "Crunchy Taco Thursday" and I was thinking it would be like the usual "taco tuesdays" where you get small tacos for a dollar.Well, the price wasn't $1 a taco. It was $3 and the tacos weren't small, they were regular sized. So that equates to about right. Price for portion.Now... the chicken and salsa... wow.. very delicious and the service was quick. Friendly staff too.“
“Great vibe and amazing staff! Beautiful space with meticulous attention to detail. We had such a good time and a wonderful tasting experience! Perfect spot for a little day drinking with the bestie. Frankie had us feeling like we were part of the family. ❤️ Will definitely be back!“
“Solid brunch spot. Food was good, huge portions, and the option for bottomless mimosas. They have some good vegetarian options including an impossible patty. No reservations allowed, but you add your name to the check in list. Took about 30 minutes to get seated for a group of 4 (we arrived at 11am and were seated just after 11:30). We were seated in an outdoor tent that was a bit hot from the sun (no ventilation). Friendly servers and they were definitely busy. Were prompt on refilling mimosas though! Would return.Vegetarian options: Avocado salad was yummy. They also have egg and impossible pattysParking: Plenty of parking“
“This is the bakery to go to in downtown Benicia! They make everything fresh and it is apparent in the presentation and taste. I went with the Breakfast Sandwich with bacon and it was flaky buttery delicious. This is a nice place to relax with friends, a drink, and some food on a nice day.“
“Ok so first, the food was absolutely DELICIOUS, AMAZING, TERRIFIC, and so much more. Second, once you have ordered your food it will come in 15 or less minutes! Third, once you come into the restaurant, (you may have to wait in a line) the hostess will ask you for your name and phone number, if you want to be seated outside or inside, and how long the wait time is (about 20 minutes). Lastly, you should definitely consider coming to Jack's if you're feeling hungry! (They serve breakfast until 2:00pm and lunch all day.) PS you HAVE to try the Mac and cheese!Vegetarian options: You could get the omelet (which is very good) if you are looking for something that is for vegetarians.Kid-friendliness: The hostess would ask you if you want a kid(s) menus. Plenty of options on the kids menu.“
“Hizcafe provides a truly enchanting experience, combining a picturesque setting with a diverse and flavorful menu. Nestled by the bay, the outdoor seating offers breathtaking water views, creating a serene ambiance for patrons to enjoy.The star of the culinary show at Hizcafe is undoubtedly the extensive selection of empanadas. With over ten varieties to choose from, including options like beef, chicken, chorizo, ham with cheese, and even breakfast, the menu caters to a wide range of tastes. The addition of unique offerings like apple and mushroom empanadas adds a delightful twist to the traditional options.The coffee selection at Hizcafe is equally impressive, featuring classic delights such as cappuccino, latte, Americano, and espresso. For those who prefer a colder indulgence, there are iced coffee and ice teas to complement the warm, inviting atmosphere. The latte Macchiato and hot chocolate add an extra layer of indulgence to the beverage options.Beyond empanadas and coffee, Hizcafe goes the extra mile with a selection of tasty sandwiches, providing a well-rounded culinary experience. Whether you're in the mood for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, the combination of delectable food and stunning views makes Hizcafe an ideal destination for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.“
“This was my first time to this restaurant, but I was not disappointed. I have significant food allergies, but I was able to make slight adjustments without any problem, and without any annoyance by our waitress. I had the beet salad and the deviled eggs, and both were delicious. I thought the pricing was fair and a good value for what was served. My salad proportion wise was very large. I would definitely go back if I am in the area.“

“We had reservations for 6 of us.Menus were on tablets that were on the table for guest to viewWe order appetizers plus 6 main dishes.Every dish was beautifully presented and very delicious.Our waiter was funny, helpful and polite in our likes and dislikes.He was very attentive to our needs which made our first time very memorable..The Flan dessert was so good and tasty.I will definitely go back.Extra points for having easy parking too.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and welcome families with toddlers“
“Small, cozy cafe, very friendly service, very good coffee, very abundant and tasty dishes, huge and delicious biscuits... The best of all? Prices are very affordable! I will be backParking: Parking behind the restaurant with plenty of spaces availableKid-friendliness: Family atmosphere“
“I found out about this place from my cousin. The vibe was amazing very kid friendly. The beer was even better ! The morena mia was savory and thirst quenching like a perfect amber ale should be! The hazy IPA's here are top notch and the Sneaky AF has the potential to win beer of the year hands down, i will keeping a eye out for where i can buy this more locally.“
“Ok if I could give 6 stars I would!! It was a Saturday so brunch was in full effect and we had to wait around 30 minutes. It was worth the wait. I had Biscuit and Brisket (no photos too busy enjoying the food) and a margarita. Seriously everything was delicious!! So flavorful. Service was great. They sat us at a larger table so we wouldn't have to wait longer and our server was attentive and fast. We're definitely going back for dinner. And I want to check out their wine spot in Walnut Creek. Oh they have seating outside with heat lamps and inside too. It's family owned and you get a sense of pride from everyone! Go.Parking: The food is good and the folks who know are coming so a full parking lot tells you something. We find parking right across the street.“
“This my favorite pizza. I am a little bummed that they seem to have changed the quality of their toppings though. The veggie pizza used to have large chunks of veggies and now they are more like the other pizza joints. But the customer service is really good, and they have a great vibe/ambience.“
“the beer is good BUT, it would be better if it were as cold as it is at Del Cielo a few blocks away or, at any of the other nearby bar/cantina/saloon establishments . . . ?on the other hand, it's nice that there's often a food truck outside and that they allow outside food, as it seems most most brew houses/local craft breweries do . . .“
“Great pizza and very hospitable staff. It's a nice spot with plenty of clean seating. Would love to go back there. They were super accommodating to let us pick it up even well after they had closed. We ordered ahead of time and they prepared the pizza accordingly so it was nice and hot when we got there. Thank you!“
“Steve is a knowledgeable and welcoming host. We came across his winery on Valentine's Day. He was closed for an event, but still invited us in and shared his delicious wines, including a 2016 Zifandel. I look forward to bringing family and friends to this spacey yet warm venue to sample wines for years to come.“
“I had forgotten about this place! Back when I worked in Vallejo and had to be at work before the sun, Sunshine Smoothies was my saving grace. Vallejo can be dark and stormy before 6 am and this location was one of the few places I could come for a true fruit smoothie or a authentic coffee drink without fake sweeteners or a ton of sugar. The family and I were headed to Mare Island for a drive when we started to pass the cute yellow and orange stand. I immediately turned into the driveway and got in the drive thru line because I hadn't been for a visit for 5 years and I wanted to see if the items still had the same quality. I ordered a caramel blended coffee drink and my husband ordered the Very Berry smoothie. We were told that there was a big order ahead of us, but we could move to cone #1 to wait for our order. We moved to the cone, turned the engine off and enjoyed the bay view. There was one person in front of us and 4 behind us, so they were crazy busy for such a small parking lot. When our order was ready less than 10 minutes later, we were greeted with medium drinks as a thank you for our patience. The owner didn't even have to do that! My drink was perfect. Not too sweet, and it actually tasted like caramel blended in a not too strong, brewed coffee! My husband's smoothie tasted like apples, strawberries, and blueberries and was the perfect refresher on a warm Sunday. I will be back. I am so glad that they are still open and I cannot wait for my next drink! Service is always friendly and you can tell that the people working the booth actually enjoy their job! I am happy to support a local business!“
“Good food, decent prices, and friendly staff. It's a small little store so if it's super busy you might not find seating but that's not usually the case. Love the cream cheese bagel, they are always very generous with the spread“
“This place is hidden in the cuts but worth the drive for some good barbecue. From the freeway exit N/B 680 it's only one turn right turn a maybe a 2 minute drive. From S/B 680 it may be 5 minutes more if that. It's kind of hidden but there is a big sign you can't miss if you're looking. They have a small parking lot and take orders through the screen door. There is outside seating and tables if you choose to eat there. I placed my order after looking over the menu outside and my food was ready really quick. The 2 way combo was $25 which was understandable and reasonable for the portion sizes and inflation. My only gripe may be on what they consider potato salad which was more like a loaded baked potato. The flavor of the chicken and ribs were delicious. The ribs were tender and neither were burned or over cooked. I also like that they put the barbecue sauce in containers for you to add to your food as you like. The Mac and cheese was pretty good too but could have used a bit more seasoning to it. Otherwise I like this place and the staff are very nice as well. Oh yeah, they didn't have the lumpia that day“
“Having lived in the nearby section of the East Bay my entire life, it was shocking when a friend offered for us to join at a very local winery. Right up until the point of parking, I was still skeptical; and then we were at Four Fools Winery. This winery is interesting in that, IMO it is good at a little bit of everything while no particular mastery. The location is not at all far from the water and so provides a nice view for those that want to pay attention. But nice is about it, factually there is no conversation level view like of the GGB or the SF skyline. But thats ok. Parking is on gravel so heel-wearers be cautious. The entrance is basic and local-feeling, not all flashy like other places roughly an hour or so northeast. The benefit of this though would be to support local artists and talent and to buy souvenirs and trinkets that reflect the local culture, not Am@z0n. Staff was kind and talkative to the amount you the patron wants to be talkative, they kinda match your energy. And of course, the wine. The flight was good. The wines differed in flavor and texture so that in itself is always interesting. But nothing jumped out to really grab attention, and the flight could have been a little larger. Again, rating of good. So why go to Four Fools Winery? Two reasons for me. One - proximity. For where we live, this is way closer than Napa, Sonoma, Livermore, Santa Rosa or anywhere else. Cutting traffic time, distance, bridges and gas makes a big impact. And the view is still good if not grande. Two - balance. One more star would come if Four Fools really excelled in one or two areas. Instead everything is "good". However there is a value in that. Nothing is bad, and with everything good there is a sense of basic balance which in itself is a plus. And we plan to go back ourselves, so good isn't an acronym for something lesser or negative. So don't be a fool and pass up this local discovery, be a fool for Four Fools and get in there for a relaxing good time.“
“This past Saturday, November 18th, we spent the day at Rotator Taproom enjoying a beer and pizza, knowing Arf was going to be there with dogs for adoption. Fast forward, we adopted the sweetest little senior chihuahua and named her Amanda Marie. She's adjusted beautifully and our chihuahua Kobe that we rescued 7 years ago is being the best big brother.We are a family of 4 now.The beers were yummy too!!Great day, thank you Rotator Taproom“
“Three great selections of dark beer and an amazing Pastrami Sandwich with the best fries on the frickin planet. Friendly service and open and interactive experience with wonderful views of the waterfront and sunset. Don't miss out on this amazing experience!“
“- great coffee - friendly customer service - hidden gemWent to Looney Bean on a Saturday morning. The Barista was super friendly and helpful when ordering drinks! I'm not sure if he was the owner or not but you could tell he enjoyed his job and coffee!I ordered Aloha Latte and White Chocolate Mocha. The coffee was taste was strong but not too strong, and the flavors in the drinks mixed well together. The drinks weren't too expensive either.The views you get while drinking your coffee of the bay can't be defeated! I loved the seating area and the wood tables.Love that Rodeo has this hidden gem. Highly recommend this place for your next cup of coffee!“
“The food is very good and service is amazing. There is a youngman at the counter who is very energetic, helpful and prompt. He has been there everytime that I have. Service is very quick. Give it a try for a quick meal. Great lunch spot.Vegetarian options: Only one vegetarian option but it is a small menu.“
“Pinoy Fried is my go-to catering store. We usually get their kare-kare, Monggo, Lumpia Shanghai and Letchon kawali. We enjoy all of them. Their prices are a few dollar cheaper than most and they are not stingy. Friendly people and accommodating!“
“Ordered take out straight from Yelp. Me and my husband loved it. Got Tikka, garlic Naan, and a mango Lassi. The Lassi wasn't overly sweet which I liked. The Tikka was awesome, tender chicken, rich flavor. Garlic Naan very generous portion. The food was gone in seconds. We will be coming back!“
“I'm not a CAKE PERSON, but some occasions simply require a cake. I ordered one such cake and was blown away. It was perfect! First, it was visually stunning. Next, the taste and texture CHANGED me to a CAKE CONVERT. PERFECT! Last, there was a hiccup in the order. One detail was overlooked. There was no time given to assessing the blame. They simply fixed the problem and sent me in my way. All this and the cake was deliciously vegan. Beautiful location and I love being able to see how the sausage is made--so to speak. 6 out of 5 stars!“
“After a recent midday trip to Benicia, we were hungry. I have been to several other restaurants on 1st Street and enjoyed them all. I will finish those reviews soon. It was my suggestion to have lunch here. We could leave the car parked and it was a short walk. Happily, it was a good choice. I ordered the Shrimp and Asparagus salad, and it was delicious. The salad consisted of mixed greens, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, a semi-hardboiled egg, and asparagus topped off with two skewers of grilled shrimp. The Louie dressing was served on the slide. K had the pulled pork sandwich. The interior was pleasant, the bathrooms were clean, and the service was attentive.The Taproom is on my list for a return visit.“
“I went to both the scarbs food truck and the subi and both times ughh, it’s been SO good! And I’m picky, the flavours were immaculate,soft beef, and the consume was delicious. It’s addicting and so worth the price ? very friendly service “
“LOVED this place, just wish it was a little bit more affordable and the seating was spaced apart more. We got 3 different types of empanadas and they were all super yummy, don't sleep on the mushroom one it was AMAZING! We ordered a seafood stew, the pork adobo, fries, and 2 cocktails and everything was very good! We don't usually have Peruvian food though so I can't speak to its authenticity but it sure was delicious! My favorite had to be the seafood stew, there was an abundance of seafood and the sauce is just to die for! Definitely a great date night spot! The only reason this is getting a 4 is because our seat was pretty cramped and we there were ppls chair backs pressed right into our table.“
“The food is usually excellent, but this particular day, the fried were undercooked. I would have taken them back, but we went in the drive-thru, and we were from out of town. So we were unable to eat them.Next time I'll say crispy please!“
“I walked in after my work out looking to get something to start my morning grind right and this was exactly what I wanted and needed! Customer service was on point! I was quickly greeted with a smiling face, helped, and all of my questions answered. The best part was that I was able to sample the juices before committing to buying a bottle! For a great green juice that is enjoyable, refreshing, gives you energy, doesn't taste like a bushel of garden, and has the right amount of sweetness, get the GREEN MACHINE. You'll feel like you're ready to take on the world! For a nitro cold brew coffee that will wake you up, order the COFFEE LADY! Better than your usual franchise cold brew! Take it from me because I know what good strong coffee is! Plus, I like the addition of the Almond Tempest (a nut mylk that has almond, dates, cinnamon, sea salt, and vanilla bean) which is by itself pure bliss. Will be back! Thinking of what to try next!“
“Been here multiple times and Aung MayLika never misses! Whenever I'm craving something homey and comforting, this is where I tend to gravitate. The food is just so flavorful! Some of my favorite dishes to order are the salt and pepper swai, the tea leaf salad, and the palatha with side of curry. Also, you can never go wrong with their Burmese milk tea. Service is usually quick and pleasant, even when they are packed with a full house. I usually dine-in for dinner, and they consistently satisfy my Burmese food cravings each time! They have a great selection of both meat and vegetarian dishes, soups, rice and noodle dishes, and some chef's specials, so there is definitely something for everyone! If you're a fan of Burmese food, I highly, highly recommend coming to Aung Maylika to get your fix! And if not, please try it out!“
“This was my absolute favorite place in Vallejo but they recently changed their menu and I'm so sad about it! The breakfast burrito used to come with an amazing mole sauce and now it comes with a tomatillo which was good but does not compare to before. Another reason I loved this place was the amount of vegan options they have available, they still have good options- the breakfast burrito has a vegan version with tofu instead of eggs, the black bean burger, avocado tacos, and the Korean bowl. They removed the tofu sandwich, the teriyaki bowl, and the Buddha bowl. I hope to they bring all of these back, they were so good! I also wish they served breakfast longer especially on the weekends instead of cutting it off at 11am. The coffee and service are always great however! They have unique flavors like cardamom and ube. They can get pretty busy but are always friendly and accommodating. Still one of my go to spots though for sure!“
“I ordered a cappuccino with whole milk and a feta brioche. The coffee is a solid three stars. The beans they used were way too fruity for espresso.The feta brioche on the other hand was hella good. If this place was a pastry only bakery, it would be a solid five stars.I’m giving it 4 stars. Great pastries, mediocre coffee.“
“A powder keg is like no other when it comes to comfort, food, folks and fun, laid-back atmosphere, absolutely delicious food, and the service Is Fantastic, you’ll never see a hard-working waitress make it look so easy and the bartender is like icing on the cake the place where anyone will feel comfortable no matter who you are“
“This place is vibing! Delicious coffee, energetic atmosphere and also good space for connecting to internet and getting work done.I compare coffee shops based on the decaf oatmilk latte. It was dense, strong and flavorful.A great gem in East Bay. The staff were also very kind, friendly and cheerful.They also have some mixed tastes that I haven’t tried and would like to give it a shot next time!“
“I wanted to to say thank you to Hope for being so friendly and giving my puppy butters a treat! I really like when this drive thru brings some of their unique flavors from their larger location. But even just the basics like vanilla milk shakes and strawberry milkshakes are excellent!“
“My husband had fish and chips which he liked very much. The fish was crispy and hot. I had a fish sandwich. The fish was hot and crispy. The sandwich came with lettuce, tomatoes and pickle. I ordered before I arrived and the food was ready a few minutes after I arrived. The two gentlemen behind the counter were friendly and professional.“
“Omg, what an amazing and super unique dining experience! If you haven't been to Port Costa in the East Bay and are game for a little off the traditional radar adventure, Bull Valley Roadhouse is such a fun alternative to anything but the ordinary. We chose to sit outdoors because the weather was so beautiful, highly recommend! There's a beautiful cocktail/mocktail/beer/wine menu, and they also do special Sunday drinks & brunch from 11a-3p. As for the dinner menu, our party chose to really go all out in honor of a few celebrations we had! We started with the deviled eggs, beef croquettes, fresh bread and honey butter, the Gentleman's relish toast, mac & cheese, and for the grand finale...we chose the largest beef shank I've ever seen served with broccolini and risotto. Everything was shared, and the shank was a $160 plate but split between our whole group, it was not only of epic proportions and extremely photo worthy, but was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and fun. Finishing with a chocolate caramel cookie, scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream, and topped with chocolate whipped cream (so yum!), I literally was in pure culinary heaven. From the XO chili sauce on the deviled eggs (I asked for an extra side of this sauce to use for the rest of the meal), the crispiness of the croquettes and tenderness of the meat inside, the perfect runny egg atop the Gentlemen's toast, the most deliciously sweet honey butter, to the fall off the bone shank, perfectly salted risotto, broccolini crunch, and of course the creamy Mac n cheese (let it sit for a few minutes to harden)...honestly everything was so divine! From the attentive & friendly service to historical funky ambiance, this is just a spot you have to experience for yourself..can't wait to come back to try brunch on a beautiful day! Def worth the extra splurge for a bit of the weekend spontaneous urge..“
