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.

My favorite was the ceviche. For the entree I got the short rib Benedict. It was so good. I love the house made biscuit. Tasted very unique and the hollandaise sauce was delicious. I got a cocktail that was pink. I think it had dragonfruit. It wasn't strong at all.

They have a fabulous drink fridge with a great variety, snacks and outdoor seatings too. I like the specials from Alma, their chef, as she makes some delish Pozole, quesadillas, and birria tacos. They also have sandwiches, hamburgers, breakfast burritos and wings! Love the free parking as well. One kool thing, they employed people with disabilities to work. It makes me feel good to support them and get fed at the same time! The owners, Tina and Ernie, are super nice and friendly. They take care of their customers and employees real well.

The food was incredibly flavorful, with standout seasoning and great balance in every bite. Presentation was on point too; everything looked as good as it tasted. The restaurant itself is also very clean and well-kept, which adds to the overall vibe. I'm already planning my next visit--I'll be coming back for lunch again soon.

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

Cholita linda is one of my favorite places to get delicious fish tacos Baja style. Everytime I…read morefinish my tacos, I instantly start regretting not ordering more. Their fish tacos are perfectly battered, crispy, covered in a bed of cabbage cilantro, crema, & their salsa. a slice of lime to add a lil Zest & wow, I could eat 5 of them after a good workout day. We usually order rice & beans, yucca frita, and occasionally an agua fresca. This time we ordered a strawberry & lemonade, super yum & perfect amount of tart & sweet. The yucca frita was crispy with savory sauce to pair with it. The rice and beans are simple but also so consistently deliciously cooked. The white rice is the best restaurant rice I ever had, I wish I could make it like This at home lolol. Overall, the food here has always been delicious. We order here frequently for the last few years and will continue to do so. Service is always positive, seamless and straightforward. The alameda location has seating inside, perfect for small groups or solo dining too. Overall great vibe, love this place!

As my fiancé and I walked around downtown Alameda in and out of the adorable little shops, I became…read morerather thirsty, and I came across great music coming out of this particular shop! As I walked into maybe get a little snack, they had fresh juice that was in their machines, looping around! I love the vibrant colors and feel of this restaurant, and the music matched it perfectly!! I forget what this drink was actually called, but it was something mixed with passionfruit, and it quench my thirst perfectly!! There were a number of items on the menu that looked delicious, but honestly with the drink I was satisfied!! I will definitely be back to try a taco or some sort of appetizer! And I will definitely get the drink again!! Hee

Been driving past this place ever since I moved to the east side and finally caught it open--and…read moreI'm so glad I did! I was more than impressed from my very first visit. First, I have to mention the parking. Anyone familiar with the Bay Area knows that parking can be a challenge, so having a convenient parking lot is a huge plus. I've been back several times now, and their pupusas have me in a chokehold! They're flavorful, perfectly cheesy, and reasonably priced. I also love that they offer a variety of filling options, so there's something for everyone. Whether you want to dine in or grab your food to go, Papuseria Las Palmas 2 delivers great food and a great experience. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to!

Disappointing visit. Pupusas were burnt, dry, and flavorless -- not what you want from a pupuseria…read more Our waitress, clearly on her first day, was fine and trying hard. What really killed it: the manager scolding staff in the back, mocking the cook's hearing, and harshly "training" the new waitress -- loud enough for our whole section to hear. Uncomfortable for us, and clearly worse for them. Food needs work. Staff treatment needs work more.

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.

Nice set up on the side of the fruit stand with a table to sit at if you want to eat there, easy parking, friendly service, cash/Zelle accepted, and absolutely delicious fresh food. We got the lorocos, papas, and revueltas papusas. I loved how they were very generous with the curtido and have both mild and hot sauce. Yum!!

I volunteer with the Fire Department, and we had been working a two-alarm fire. As things were…read morebeginning to calm down, I went on a run to pick up some coffee and donuts. I knew this donut shop was here but had never been before. It was on my way back to the firegrounds, so I stopped in. The shop is not huge and there weren't a lot of donuts on display. I felt kind of bad that I was wiping out most of what was on display. I ordered one dozen each of four donuts, glazed, chocolate covered, and two others. I would have mixed in some crullers and old fashioned but there didn't appear to be any. Personally, my favorite is an Apple Fritter. None of those on display either. The woman who helped me was very friendly and gave me some donut holes on the house. I gave those to a Deputy Sheriff who was working the outer perimeter of the incident. As to how the donuts tasted, I don't know. Some of us need to watch our sugar consumption. I heard no complaints so I'm guessing everything was okay. I apologize for the lack of photos. As soon as I got back to the scene, coffee was poured and donuts consumed!
