For our entrees, we ordered the Argentinian Skirt Steak accompanied with Frites, Sautéed Greens, Fries and Chimichurri Sauce -- and the Mezcal Glazed King Salmon with Cashew Relish, Purple Potato Puree (so interesting!), Shaved Brussels Sprouts, and Chipotle Butter Sauce. Food was fantastic -- straight to the point and with boldness from the Latin influence. The ambiance aims for a higher end dining experience, and there is a full bar with additional seating. Must be a local favorite for Happy Hour and dinner. Jonathan was our server -- shout out to him for his efficiency, attentiveness, and professionalism. He responded at every interaction with enthusiasm and a smile. Would definitely return.

They were busy, but the staff accommodated us last minute which was so nice. Drinks were fantastic, the bartenders love what they do and it shows. The food was sooo good. We ordered some appetizers and the pasta and the short ribs for mains, all were fantastic dishes. The short ribs were my favorite though, seasoned well and the cilantro mashed potatoes it came with were EVERYTHING. I'd come back for a side of those alone. The pasta was a little dry and could have used more sauce, which is why I knocked them down a star. We'll definitely be back to try other dishes!

This rating is specifically for the chicken tamal - I finally got to get one from them because I…read moretend to go to Grocery Outlet to do my shopping on Sundays so this place is always closed ahah. Since I was in the area today, I finally went in to get my chicken tamal (if you're not familiar with Salvadorean tamales, they're sooo worth a try! They're wrapped in banana leaves instead of corn and are much more soft and moist). These were $6/tamal. Kinda pricey but they are a bit bigger than most-however the size is moreso due to the amount of masa to meat ratio, which I don't mind since I do love the masa parts. I do wish their chicken was either more shredded or more flavored since some bites of chicken were on the dry side. The bites that wern't so dry were delicious though! Looking at their pics/reviews now it seems other people have tried other kinds of tamales, but I only saw one option on the menu so that's what I went with. All in all, not my absolute favorite tamales, but it hits the spot.

I have curious about pupusa after watching several YouTube video reviews. Although I have seen…read morerestaurants offering them for as so long as I can remember I must admit I have never had any. So today was my day for an adventure. I found this El Salvador Restaurant nearby has decent review albeit not many though. It looked clean and tidy. Walking in around 11:45 am to an empty dimly lit dining, a lady behind the counter greeted me and told to sit anywhere. It was warm with no air circulating as the ceiling fans weren't turned on. I mentioned to her it was my first time having pupusa so she patiently pointed several options. Complimentary chips and salsa were served. I thought the salad needed something to give it kick. I chose lunch #1 that consists of 2 pupusa, plantains, red bed beans and sour cream; separately ordered a lemonade. The drink came short afterwards. It was lemony slightly sweet. My plate came hot as it should and the accompanying coleslaw and red sauce were brought over as well. Pickled coleslaw and red sauce were added to the top of my first pupusa which as the cheese a beans. It was too hot to hold by hand so I ate it with knife and fork. It was definitely something g I never had before. A little hot sauce helped. I wish the doughy covering wasn't so overwhelming as I would appreciate the filling much more. It was the same experience for the second pupusa that was the pork, cheese and beans. Finally the fried plantains, I haven't grown to appreciate at this point and this example didn't improve my opinion, I'm hate to admit. I wasn't sure how to apply the red beans and sour cream so I dipped the plantains in them. I guess I need some guidance. On this initial visit, overall, it definitely was a good experience, service was pleasant, food was good though not sure if it was a great representation of this particular good. But I felt it was a good experience and I'm quite open to trying other dishes here.

Many moons ago, a friend introduced me to pupusas. Every so often since that fateful day, I get a…read morehankering and that is how I discovered Los Planes de Renderos. Now, this low-key, casual spot is a regular in my rotation of restaurants, a favorite place to stop by for a reliably good, inexpensive meal with friendly service. Parking is easy in the private lot beside the restaurant. I've never had to wait for a table; reservations are not necessary. The décor and hood are nothing fancy, but the food is well worth the trip. The crisp, chewy, made-to-order pupusas; generous sides of tart curtido; and extra-large sweet beverages (I always get the piña) bring me back again and again.

Rude service. Food wasn't good, looks and feels dirty inside. Won't be coming back, Don't recommend.read more

Not much for vegetarians however but what we did get was good! Got the Chile Relleno. Spectacular! The sauce was amazing with the cheesy battered pepper. Nachos were good too. Their chips are a different variety, thick and firm which was. Nice change from typical chips. We got the Quesadilla too! It was not what we expected. We got these rolled deep fried taco like vessels filled with cheese, a pepper, lettuce and crema! Delicious! We will be back here again!

We came here on a Friday night for some Mexican food and both really enjoyed our dishes…read more I ordered the potato flautas while my partner ordered the birria de rez plate. The potato flautas were great because it had good flavor and was clearly fresh. However, it did not have guacamole as promised on the menu, which was disappointing. My partner really enjoyed his steak birria de rez plate -- he described it as the meat that comes with the birria tacos. We both thought that the food was a little on the saltier side. It came with a side of complementary chips and salsa. The business is a small family owned business, and so the restaurant reflects that. The service was also pretty good and helpful.

Everything was ordered to go about 45 minutes prior to closing and took about 25 minutes to make. The price for the amount of food is decent. The Birria pupusa pizza is comforting so make time for a nap afterwards! Staff was nice and for a business that was closing in less than an hour, it was busy! All the tables seemed to have people in them. Staff were consistently running food to people's tables. Definitely one of the better pupusa options in the Bay Area and possibly my new favorite in the East Bay.

I was impressed with the quality and the amount of food that I got. My meal came with either a taco or a Pupusa I chose the bean and cheese pupusa. Also came with beans and rice. My coworkers ordered the classic bean and cheese pupusa and a meat option one as well. My other coworker ordered the pupusas as well. We all enjoyed what we ordered and despite being delivered everything arrived hot and delicious. We had mixed reviews on the horchata it isn't the traditional Mexican style I liked it but was a no from my two coworkers. Unfortunately, I took one star away because we didn't receive straws or utensils with our order. I am not sure it was the fault of the restaurant or our driver for not checking.

As soon as I walked in, Tina welcomed me at the register and made me feel instantly comfortable. I ordered the veggie scramble, avocado toast, a Red Eye coffee, and an iced hazelnut coffee. Tina even asked if I was new to the area (apparently I gave off new-neighbor energy ). After I shared that I had recently moved nearby, she gave me a lovely rundown of the business and the services they offer. It's very clearly a community hub, a place where organizations and regulars can gather and even host events. The food came out quickly, and Tina made sure I had everything I needed before I left. While waiting, I noticed locals and repeat customers coming in and genuinely connecting with one another, which was really nice to see. Great service, welcoming atmosphere, and a strong sense of community. I'll definitely be back!

All of that to say that the sandwich I just had from Zenti was so amazing that I had to write a review immediately. It was in a surprise bag from Too Good to Go, so it wasn't even something I chose. The very friendly woman handed me a bag with a meatloaf sandwich, a blueberry muffin, and a very ripe banana. The banana will be frozen for smoothies or banana bread and the tasty muffin went to my daughter. But that sandwich... Perfectly cooked meatloaf on white, lightly toasted bread with a smear of mayo and a little cranberry sauce with lettuce and tomato. Not much to look at, honestly. But omg one bite and I was in heaven. This was the best meatloaf I've ever had, hands down. I make a pretty decent one myself, but this shit was next level. I tried to save half because I wanted my husband to be able to try it, but I just couldn't stay away from the damn thing lol. Unfortunately, I think it was a special so they don't always have it. Get it if they have it! And I'll be back to try other stuff for sure.

Grading slightly on a curve as I am comparing it to the Oakland location…read more Quality/Quantity - So glad I discovered this location. As the Oakland location was getting less and less safe. The Oakland location is not just unsafe, but driving there consists of VERY aggressive drivers. Okay, now to this location. Easy in and out. Well stocked, a much better location than the one I frequent in Oakland. I now have to have the app and they are also using digital coupons similar to many of their competitors. But this brand so far has had 100% of the free weekly item in stock; wow and thank you. This will be the first time I try corn and flour tortillas in one?!?! Atmosphere - Huge, clean, and organized location. Has all the departments - Bakery, deli, tortilla, meat, seafood, cheese, and fresh ripe produce. Limited mall parking due to the many high volume businesses. Need a code for the restroom - 2010. Amazon lockers, coin collection machine, etc. The best part is that this location is in between the Business and Regular Costco! So now I do NOT have to go to the San Leandro Costco anymore, which has also gone downhill. SL Costco's review to follow... Service - N/A, they even have self-service check-outs at this location! But I chose to go through a regular full service check stand and had no problems. Price - Inexpensive! Thank you. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1981 (1998 in NV and AZ) with your 56 locations. Just realized that KKR bought you in 2017. We have been shopping this brand since it was Mi Pueblo Supermarket. In 2016, KKR bought Mi Pueblo and Cardenas and in 2017; they merged the supermarkets together, getting rid of the Mi Pueblo brand. Actually, the founder of Mi Pueblo, Juvenal Chavez, has a very inspiring story about how he started and finished with the $300M company. Sadly, he then went into bankruptcy in 2013.
