5 Stars - Worth Every Penny After the initial sticker shock, once the food arrived it was clear why the prices are what they are -- absolutely worth it. The ceviche was incredibly fresh and vibrant, the fish tacos were downright divine, and the Eggs Benedict was outstanding. Even the scrambled eggs were delicious, which says a lot about the care they put into every dish. We're so full we're heading out for a walk on a nearby trail to recover -- the best kind of problem to have after a great meal. If I had one suggestion, it would be to swap the country music for Mexican music to better match the name and vibe of the place. Other than that, fantastic experience all around. read more

Solid 4 for food, service and ambiance. We got there at 11:30 on a beautiful, slightly toasty Friday (~80°) for lunch under the covered patio. The calamari and fish had a panko-style breading. Both were cooked perfectly. If you are a french fries lover, you have to try the Papas Bravas. Wedge potatoes topped with bacon, a spicy chipotle aioli with a side of sour cream, guacamole, and salsa verde to make it the perfect appetizer. I loved the House Made Cioppino. The tomato base was the perfect backdrop for the perfectly cooked seafood and toasted focaccia-type bread sticks. Husband took home 1/2 of his generous portion of fish & chips. Definitely coming back to try more! read more

You never know what you'll get when you order huevos rancheros at a restaurant. Crockett Covina was pretty good. The eggs were dithered in green sauce and were well prepared. There was black beans and guacamole with hash brown on the plate. The pickles onions were spicy and bright tasting. We sat at the outside patio which was pleasant. I look forward to their new location in Pinole. read more

Excellent food! Quality, taste, presentation! They take pride in everything they put out and have a diverse menu from pasta to ceviche, to Mexican. All of it good and good service too. My faves are the chicken enchiladas verde (3), goat cheese salad with or without Frilled or fried chicken served with homemade bread. Their fish n chips feature a long generous breaded filet with perfect fries. Finish off with the best brownies or chocolate chip cookies you'll find. The establishment is no frills but comfortable, located on Pomona St. next to the gas station. I'm new to Crockett and this is my go to place. Try it, I guarantee you'll like it! read more

Live in or near Crockett? Don't want to cook? These guys ROCK! This tiny joint swings some mean Fish&Chips and the Salads snap!

Breakfast menu only served on weekends which was a bummer to find out when we got there. Inside can get stuffy and smell like cleaning supplies, luckily, they have a small outdoor area. Portions are huge! The fish and chips (friends got it with soup instead) was not your ordinary 2-3 fillets in heavy batter. Instead, it was one huge fish battered in panko crumbs which gave a better crunchiness to it without being super heavy. The clamp chowder was not your Campbell's out of the can. It was creamer without being too rich. The tuna melt was good on ciabatta bread, but the filling kept falling out. The chef came out with cookies for the kiddos which was nice. It was good food and satisfying. Can't wait to try their breakfast on weekends! read more

A charming little place with lots of choices on the menu . We did not try the Mexican food as we were not in the mood but we were happy they had more creative dishes ! My husband loved the seafood pasta which had a nice variety of seafood and a good quantity as well . I ordered fish and chips and the fish was excellent and a big piece too. We will definitely go back to try something else!! read more

Crockett Cocina - Burger smacked! - Seafood Near Me - Crockett, California

What a lovely find on our over night adventure. We needed something to fuel our upcoming hike so this is where we ended up On the way out to the George Miller Trail. We ordered the 1/3 lb burger with clam chowder and the Philly cheese Sammy with garlic fries. Food came quickly and was piping hot. The lady who took our order brought the food out to our table. Everything was delish. The clam chowder was my favorite, made in house, and full of flavor. My husband loved his Philly. The baguette it was served on was fantastic. The portion of fries was very large. The dining room is cozy with many extra table on their patio. The lack of a star comes from a lack of Parking. Sadly, no parking lot and very limited street parking. Worth it to try and find yourself a spot! read more

Crockett Cocina - Seafood Near Me - Crockett, California

My husband was craving seafood pasta, and I really didn't want to order from an Italian restaurant since they've been so overpriced and overrated lately. So, I decided to try something local -- and I'm so glad I did! I ordered shrimp Alfredo and some street tacos, and my husband was really impressed. The portions were generous, the food was delicious, and the prices were very reasonable. If you're in the Crockett area and want good, affordable food without breaking the bank, this is definitely the spot. We're already planning to come back this weekend to dine in since this order was to-go. Everything was amazing -- highly recommended! read more

The only times I'm ever in Crockett is if I feel like hiking in either Crockett Hills (rare lately after a dog attacked me) or Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline (often because I can grab a cocktail at the Warehouse in Port Costa). Regardless I usually find myself driving past the town center except this time I decided to make a stop at this cafe that I last recall was a friendly taqueria named Judy's Place. That was a couple of years ago. Now it's become a kinda hybrid diner/burger/pasta place which certainly makes for a unique menu. I've stopped by a couple of times, and I have to admit the food fell a bit short each time. On my first visit, I tried the $13.99 Big Blue Wedge Salad, which was indeed a big plate with plenty of iceberg lettuce, crumbled blue cheese, cherry tomatoes, chopped green onion, and bacon bits. I just found the blue cheese too excessive for my taste (photo: https://yelp.to/9-Gsba6eSO). I came back a few months later and was in a pasta mood. I decided to order the $19.99 Pasta Primavera with Chicken. The requisite vegetables were present - bits of broccoli, shards of zucchini, sliced mushrooms - as well as plentiful Parmesan shavings. The problem for me was the unexpected addition of a cream sauce which just struck me as an unnecessarily calorific choice (photo: https://yelp.to/kC7ozKSjGL). The $12.99 Caesar Salad turned out to be a better option for me because surprisingly it was underdressed (photo: https://yelp.to/4lrEAUZ90q). According to their menu, they offer burgers, tacos, chicken tenders, calamari, nachos, tuna melts, even a fresh mozzarella sando. I might come back and give something else a try. I also have to share that I didn't feel the service was terribly warm, at least compared with Judy and her tacos. FOOD - 3 stars...hearty plates hamstrung by slight missteps AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...still a small space, seating felt limited SERVICE - 3 stars...fitful TOTAL - 3 stars...not quite the comfort food I was looking for RELATED - Exploring this part of Contra Costa County?

They offer a wide ranging menu but the four entrees we ordered were mediocre. Very nice people though.

Just moved to Crockett and this was my first stop here. AMAZING Food!! It may seem small and quiet, but great customer service. Had the Al Pastor Burrito that had the best small kick of spice, served with house tortilla chips with an amazing seasoning taste. Also had tried their Michelada with their Tres Leches dessert to wrap up the night. Order the Tres Leches, trust me, it was all delicious. Have a great night everyone read more

This is a local restaurant and a small place. During warm weather it's nice to sit outside.I can walk there for breakfast on the weekend and dinner during the week. I love their vegetable omelet. Their smash burger is good, they have a great fish sandwich, delicious chowder, daily specials, and I like all their salads. The menu has American food and Mexican food with Taco Tuesdays.Their veggie tacos are great. read more

Overall: 4.5/5 stars - divey atmosphere, can be hard to find parking - lots of people coming in for ordering, mostly takeaways - some indoor and outdoor seating - good food with solid portions even for happy hour specials - counter ordering, but they will bring your food to you Came here for Mom's birthday after finding out Hercules's Powder Keg Pub was closed by accident. Street parking was a little tough to find on the Main Street at 5:30pm. However, the menu appeared to have things everyone in the family would eat, and Mom wanted a sit down restaurant that wasn't bougie. Calamari: rings were a tiny bit chewy but breaded well and otherwise fresh. Linguine Alfredo: thick and creamy. Shrimp was cooked just right. Carne asada street tacos: VERY flavorful, marinated well. Side portion of garlic fries were huge. Less greasy (thankfully) than what you get at a Giants game. 1/4 JR burger: decent. Bread wasn't amazing. Could have been better had bread been grilled. Fries were hot and fresh. The portion of fries were huge. Quarter pounder felt like a decent size for my sister. Service, was pretty busy..., but they definitely checked in on us once the ordering slowed and at least three times. "Would you come here again?" --Me: absolutely. I think the prices and portions are hard to beat right now. --Dad: (hangry) "I wanted the Powder Keg." --Sis: yes. Would recommend it. Menu had a decent selection...something for everyone. Happy hour, breakfast, lunch, dinner and student menu. Only downfall: cute Mom and Pop, but parking is not great. --Mom: "I wanted the Powder Keg." read more

After getting a suggestion for a small restaurant in a small town of Crockett, I felt I had to check it out. Use your gps to get there because just getting off the freeway and trying to find your way to the restaurant is a little confusing. Crockett was known (a long time ago) for the C&H Sugar Factory. Crockett Cocina is next to a gas station and kind of near John Swett Highschool. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and it's very casual. You order at the front register and they bring the food to you. The service was very good. They are friendly and polite. The restaurant is clean and the decor is warm and inviting. The menu is eclectic even though the restaurant is kind of Mexican. They serve burgers, Mexican food, pasta, jambalaya, Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, seafood ( fish n chips, cioppino, grilled salmon, calamari). I ordered the fish n chips which isn't like your typical battered cod. It's a big fillet that's floured, egged and panko'd so it's lighter. The portion was big and sat on a bed of fries(but you have a choice of fries, garlic fries, clam chowder). It comes with tartar sauce, lemon, and cocktail sauce. My wife had the street tacos which was delicious and you get three. I enjoyed the fish which came out hot and crispy and moist. I heard the clam chowder is good and I kind of want to try their cioppino. I definitely recommend this place since they offer such a diverse menu. They serve breakfast only on the weekends. They serve beer and wine so it's probably a good choice for after work dinner or happy hour (4-7pm). The prices are reasonable and the portions are big. I'll be back! read more

Round Two of Crockett Cocina Review Two days after having Crockett Cocina I had return to try out the Fresh Clam Chowder. I will say that their Clam Chowder surely tops Boudin Bakery which also surprises me because they offer it in a bread bowl. I did love the Clam Chowder that was served at Crockett Cocina. Even the bread that was offer with the Clam Chowder was good! I can see Crockett Cocina being the place to be at when you are in Crockett even if you live there or visting. It is a nice establishment that can flourish with people returning for more food from this place. Keep up the good work Crockett Cocina! read more

So i want to like this place, i ordered ciopino it had a lot of sea food, but basically i do not really like ciopino and the squid and such very chewy.. i prefer the seafood soup at HMB brewery, Portuguese Grandfathers soup,, but i will have to try the fish and chips here, the fish in the soup was good read more

Great restaurant with great food, just like a gem on the wall. There are 3 tables inside and some outdoor tables at the patio. You order your food at the counter and pay for it first, then they will bring the food to your table. My friend and I tried the fish/shrimp tacos and seafood cioppino. Both were excellent. The cioppino was cooked in its perfection to my likings. I don't usually eat any red sauce pasta but this cioppino is the best I had eaten. Come try it yourself. read more

I stopped by Crockett Cocina after work yesterday. I had this place in my places to try. The reviews and photos of the food was helpful in figuring out what I wanted to try. Crockett Cocina is a cute, small, hole in the wall type of restaurant. It's located on Pomona Road, right off I-80, in the seaside town of Crockett. There's street parking only. When I arrived, someone was leaving and was able to take a parking spot in front of the restaurant. I ordered the Js JR burger, garlic fries, and hibiscus aqua fresca. I 1000% enjoyed every bite and sip! I honestly have no complaints. The garlic fries were thoroughly cooked, hot, and had a generous amount of garlic. My burger was also thoroughly cooked, hot when served, and well seasoned. The hisbicus aqua fresca was refreshing, and almost tasted like grape juice. I ate in; my food was brought to my table when it was done. The man taking my order was helpful and was helping the staff cooking food as customers came in to either pick up orders or to place an order. The menus are on paper without photos, but, it's okay . Yelp had really good photos to help a sista out with deciding on my meal. There's indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. I definitely will be returning! Jambalaya I got my eye on you next!! read more
