18 Excellent and Child-Friendly Restaurants in the East Bay

"Fast-casual sister restaurant to Dona on Piedmont Avenue, Tacubaya has anchored the Fourth Street dining scene with all-day Mexican dining for 20 years, and for the last five in its roomier, pinker space just two doors down from the original. Though the restaurant offers a kid-sized scrambled eggs dish, it’s a great spot to let your little one taste more adventurous flavors. Bright ceviches, sopa de tortilla, and seasonal tamales are superb gateway foods, and the atmosphere is easy for managing the ups and downs of dining out with kids — especially when softened with a margarita or mezcal paloma for the grownups." - Justine Jones, Laura Smith Borrman
