    Beet Salad
    Kitty L.

    We had the Grilled Fish Tacos with a side of Rice and Beans and the Beet Salad, and each dish was very authentic and outstanding! The salad was huge and the prices were very reasonable! Our Server Laura was so warm, caring, efficient, and kind! We were celebrating a life milestone, and she gave us very warm congratulations and paused to chat with us!

    Stopped by Parkside Eats for lunch with friends. Haven't been here since Lepe's Taqueria a few years ago and walking in, it seemed bigger. We liked the vibe, the colorful decor, and the super friendly welcome. We enjoyed the guac and fresh chips, fish tacos, rice & beans, chicken burger, and beet salad hit the spot! The menu has a nice balance of Mexican soul food with California comfort, and we thought everything was delicious. My fav was the quac! Sooo good. We will definitely be back to try their fabulous drinks and more burger goodness. Service: Great welcoming but a bit slow on the table service.

    Tres Leches French Toast

    Wow wow! LOVE this place! We were BIG fans of Sonoma Eats (in Sonoma, CA) and thrilled to know that they had reestablished the same high quality food & vibe in Santa Rosa! Visited today for the first time since the shift and are over the moon with the entire experience! The owners are AMAZINGLY kind and so dedicated to food quality and great customer service! From the hostess to our server to the bussers - each person we interacted with was lovely and helpful! The food was DELICIOUS & gorgeous! We started with brewed coffee and a Mexican chocolate mocha (divine!) and then shared the special roasted asparagus appetizer and the beet hummus (both fresh, super tasty, and perfectly presented). I had the delightful beet salad as a main dish (we're taking a REAL beet salad not a salad with a few random beets on it, but the main event was a beautiful tower of perfectly executed beets over soft delicious creamy cheese with a pretty little pile of nicely dressed arugula with pepitas on the side) - a perfect plate for sure! My husband had the tres leches French toast (made with croissants) which he is in-love with (and part of the reason we drove from Sonoma to Santa Rosa for brunch :). GO & experience this beautiful restaurant (they put so much love into aesthetics, too - the place is charming yet rustic and the wallpaper highlights are stunning)! Also - grab some fantastic homemade cookies on your way out! 5-stars across the board! Chef's kiss to the whole team!

    Chilaquiles verde

    Parkside Eats recently opened in the former Lepe's space right in my neighborhood. It's a welcome addition to the area and offers a good variety of food options. Parkside is Mexican inspired offering both American and Mexican dishes. My wife and I have been eager to stop in. So this morning we made a date to check it out and here are my thoughts. The menu gets high marks for being crowd pleasing. So if your group is looking for a spot that has "everything", then this would fit the bill. You can find items ranging from burgers, tacos to avocado toast and waffles right under a single roof. This morning I went with the huevos con chorizo. They were good but not great, but nice to know it's on the menu. The service was friendly but a little inconsistent. This could be due to being new and working the kinks out? The ambiance was very nice and offers an outdoor patio (with heaters). I must say, they did an excellent job transforming and upgrading the space. They are open daily from 8AM till 8PM, nice to have another evening burger craving option nearby. Parking is ample, but can get tight during peak hours.

    Poke Nachos were delicious - great wanton cihps and good amount of toasted sesame oil.

    Tried Parkside Eats at their new location on Montgomery Ave near Howarth park over the weekend. This was day 4 of them being open at this location, but it was clear this was not their first foray into food service! The menu is kind of a hybrid/fusion. They have a breakfast/brunch menu, with standards like chilaquiles, rancheros, and others. The dinner menu is also diverse, and shows fushion across multiple cuisines. This can be a tricky approach to menu-making but we really enjoyed everything we had while sampling across the menu! We tried a range of things, starting with Brussel Sprouts - which were well cooked, and served with apple and chorizo. It was a very tasty dish! They offer a jicama salad, which was very tasty - it was served wth orange slices and pineapple, and a spicy and lively tajin dressing. We loved this dish - it was also absolutely beautiful on the table. I wish we hadn't tore into it before I could snap a photo! We also had their beet hummus, which was also a delight - served with a chili oil made it standout - and the gave us good portion of freshly grilled pita bread for dipping. This was hit. We ended up talking with the chef, and he recommended the ribs and the fish tacos. Both of these were also fantastic. The meat literally fell off the bones! They gave us a nice side of fries and coleslaw with them which was also excellent! Fries were thin and crispy, and the coleslaw was refreshingly light on mayo. The fish tacos were sautéed, and were tasty - served with a nice spicy aoli. Overall, we really enjoyed the food we had, and the casual patio, which was dog friendly, was a big plus. The indoor area looked nicely updated, and they are working on adding a liquor license to make the most of the great bar they have along the patio. This is going to be a hot spot! The food is excellent, and well priced, and the service was on point! Give them a try if you are in the area!

    Roasted broccoli and fish tacos minus the fixings

    Food was good but the service was subpar. We ordered and never saw our sever again. Had to constantly flag someone done for service. Never received my coffee.

    Breakfast burrito

    Parkside Eats -- Where Your Appetite Goes to Be Humbled. First, a warning: if you show up on a weekend without a plan, you and your hunger will be standing on the sidewalk together, bonding over your poor life choices. They're popular. Very popular. Also, don't even think about ordering off the regular menu before 2 pm -- the brunch menu has a strict dictatorship until then. The outdoor seating is covered, which is lovely, until a garbage truck rumbles past mid-bite. Inside, you'll find yourself surrounded by plastic plants that will outlive us all, butterfly wallpaper that somehow works, and retro light fixtures that say "we have personality and we're not afraid to use it." It's kitschy in the best possible way -- like eating inside your coolest aunt's living room. The regular menu is enormous -- the kind of menu that makes you feel like you need a weekend just to read it. But you won't be seeing that until after 2 pm, so focus. The breakfast burger was juicy and unapologetically messy, the breakfast burrito was deeply satisfying, and the chilaquiles were the kind of thing you think about later when you're supposed to be working. Fair warning: the portions are large. Heroically large. You will not finish. You will try. You will fail. You will make peace with it. Service is solid, though if it's busy, your food will arrive... eventually. Good things take time. So do brunch crowds. We're already plotting our weekday return to finally crack open that regular menu. Parkside Eats, we'll be back -- and we're bringing stretchy pants.

    Not a good value
    Ernie R.

    Not a fan. We went to this place because it's relatively new and right up the road from our house. Hostess asked two, and I confirmed. She then oddly walked off wiped down about six tables, went to the kitchen, talked to other people then decided to come back and seat us at a table that was already clean. I ordered a coke with our order, 10 minutes later I asked if we can get the soda and was told it needs to come from the bar. Not busy in the place at all then a bottle coke with a cup of ice was delivered. Just a little slow, no big deal. We ordered a $22 burrito, which was relatively anemic and shouldn't be called a super burrito. I asked if they do chips and salsa and she brought chips and salsa and charged $3 for it without any notification. I ask for a small side of mole, and I got a big bowl of it and got charged $5 So $37 BEFORE TIP for a shrinkflation burrito a coke plus add ons. I have to say the staff is very kind and not horrific service but it was a very interesting experience and the food very overpriced for what it was. I hope they work out the kinks but our first experience was our last based on price vs quality of service and portioning.

    Guacamole and chips appetizer
    Corinna C.

    Wow what a great place! My kids and I have been here now twice. This place was recommended by a friend and I'm so glad we went. First time I had the guacamole with chips as our appetizer and it is so good, then I had the Baja fish tacos, it's soooo much food for the price, my son had the Burger and it was enormous. The service was fabulous, they were responsive but not intrusive, every plate I saw going to other tables made me want to come back so we did. It's a little loud but it's a small place, it's understandable. My daughter got a vanilla latte which she loved and I had the Jamaica , it was perfect not too sweet. My cousin got the ahi taco which was delicious and also looked beautiful. This will now be part of our regular rotation.

    I drove by this place last week and noticed that it had replaced the old Mexican restaurant that was there so my mom and I decided to stop by and eat there on Sunday morning. We were greeted at the door and immediately seated, to my surprise the restaurant was not very busy at 9am. But slowly filled up as we dined. They did a nice remodel to the restaurant, it is quite cute inside. Our server took our drink order, cafe de olla. We received our coffee quickly, the coffee is pretty tasty with notes of cinnamon. The mug it comes in fits with the aesthetic. My mom ordered the breakfast burrito with no meat and I ordered the tres leches French toast. The burrito arrived wrapped in foil on a plate to the table, although not aesthetically pleasing since we were dining in , my mom said it was tasty. The tres leches French toast was presented nicely and was served with maple syrup. The French toast itself was decent, the berry compote was tasty and the whipped cream inside was good. Personally I didn't think the maple syrup was needed because the French toast alone was rich. Overall the experience was good and the food was good.

    Side chips and pico de gallo (no refill) $6.00
    Sabrina K.

    My daughter and i went, to get a light bite and try this place out; we used to occasionally go to the taqueria in same location. This place appears to be a primarily Mexican food inspired place with some standard American/California cuisine thrown in the mix. When we walked in it was kind of loud and full in main part of restaurant, so we decided to sit in the bar area that was more empty and were greeted by a friendly bar tender. We told her we were new to Parkside Eats. She brought us the coffee, which tasted a little old and not quite hot enough and very small tub of 1/2 n 1/2 (large thimble or shot glass?). I thought, well with these small cups of coffee she'll be back shortly with a hot refill. More on coffee experience further down. We were hoping for late breakfast but we were already way too late so just ordered coffee and tacos to share plus the chips and pico de gallo and side of 1/2 avocado ($3.00) and asked for whatever other salsa they might have, as I'm a salsa queen and love to try authentic home made sauces. The chips were crisp and home made, but very small portion. The pico de gallo was classic and fresh. However, i was shocked by the price for chips with no refills ($6). The only other salsa they had was a creamy spicy habanero style and green. The habanero was not too spicy, tasted pretty nice, not sure if homemade or not. The green tasted like pureed canned green chili peppers (?), no thanks. The Burria tacos were tasty, but on the smaller side for $16 for 3 and adding a 4th was $5 more. I wanted a coffee refill sooner but it was hard to get waiters attention after initially ordering. She finally offered a second cup of coffee when we were done with food. Yes please. Shock, it was terrible. Colder than first cup with that awful sour taste of old coffee. I mean I know it's not supposed to be a coffee shop but they do offer fancy coffee drinks on the menu, so regular coffee shops be good. But don't even offer it if it's not done right! And i had to ask for another thimble of 1/2 n 1/2 ( not to cool it down but for taste). But it made it so nasty and Luke warm i just could not drink it. Two coffees, $8. We paid and left. My take is, overpriced Mexican food, bad coffee. Three stars for the nice effort in flavor and quality of the Burria meat in tacos, and freshness of chips and pico de gallo. Service and pricing need work.

    Does Parkside Eats have a full bar?

    They don't currently have a full bar. When I visited they said they were working on it, but it might take a little while. In the meantime, they do offer a nice selection beer/wine, and some sake-based cocktails that looked refreshing!

The outside seating is nice even at 80 degrees. I had the Ruben Pastrami. They make it. I loved the smokey flavor. There was plenty of pastrami. This is a must try! I added mustard which for me was perfect. My husband had the Chicken Kreplach dumplings. They had a soy, maybe miso, butter sauce with breaded fried onions like the ones I put on my green bean casserole which was a perfect complement. My girlfriend had the Veal & Shiitake Pelmeni sour cream & dill. Delicious and filling. I had a sip of the Orange Dream-sickle cocktail. I would like this for dessert.

When the food finally arrived, the chicken schnitzel was dry, overcooked, and tasted like it had spent far too long sunbathing under a heat lamp. Once our food was delivered, our waitress performed her most impressive trick of the afternoon: disappearing completely. My water ran out about 10 minutes into battling the Sahara schnitzel and was never refilled--which felt especially cruel considering that entrée required its own hydration plan. To give credit where it's due, the Crimson Revelry cocktail was absolutely delicious, and the fries were very good. Sadly, neither could rescue the rest of the experience. Between the painfully slow service, the vanishing waitress, and the schnitzel that left me both disappointed and dehydrated, I can't see myself ever going back. Grossman's? More like "Gross, man."

Super friendly people who have no problem with accommodating special requests. For example I asked if they could add a slice of cheese and was asked "Swiss, Cheddar, American"? . That's music to my ears! Second- the ingredients. I love that they feature locally sourced bread products. Mine was prepared with Franco-American sourdough. And it's always fantastic! Third- Unlike a lot of club sandwiches, you don't have to decide between turkey or ham, they include both! And if you aren't a fan of either, they do offer a chicken club option. The final verdict! Five star awesome! The sandwich was perfectly stacked with tons of meat products. And extra credit for the extra large slice of cheddar cheese which covered the entire sandwich. And a huge shoutout to the crinkle fries (included with your order). I'm a huge crinkle fries fan and these were awesome!

We weren't overly hungry but wanted to try it. The prices were pretty steep for a beer $12, and the cocktail was VERY expensive $19 after tax. Hubs decided not to order the beer but insisted I try a fancy drink so I decided on the unicorn after recommendation from our waitress. The drink was pleasantly good, not too sour or too sweet, however definitely not worth the price. Then we decided on a small bites, skillet prawns. The wait wasn't too long. We took a bite each and we were so confused at the odd flavor. It tasted like latex gloves and cleaner. Hubs tried a a second small bite of another one and spit it out. We probably shouldn't have stopped. Our waitress was really nice about it and offered to get us a new one or something else or a dessert, but we declined. She ended up taking it off the bill. Maybe skip the drinks and order a pizza.
