9/21/25 - I came here with some long time friends and my favorite cousin. One of my friends has been here before, so she was giving advice as to what she tried. She said that she had the crab meat sandwich, which was good, but this time she wanted to try the eggplant sandwich because the person she came with had that sandwich and said it was so, so good!!!!
I looked front & back of that two-page paper menu, and then I knew that their menu options change on a daily basis. Some of the pictures on the Yelp screen were not seen on our menus today. I had picked two options, but knew I had to narrow it down to one. So, just before the waitress came back I pick chapaquilles. I have never had this dish, but always wanted to try!! I love Mexican foods. I often cook tacos both beef & chicken and beef enchiladas. I also often make Spanish rice.
My dish was presented beautifully and was a delicious, hot meal. I ordered iced tea but I did not like it. The flavor was not good even after putting a little sugar in it!! I should have sent it back after I realized it was $5.00. My friends & my cousins had to wait for their lunch to come out at least five-six minutes, then two of them were wrong & the other had missing items. That was the second time that I have gone to a restaurant in Walnut Creek and didn't like my drink in over a month. Isn't that weird? I actually would have liked a cocktail but did not see anything on the menu that interest me. The restaurant is sitting right on North Main Street and they offer outside seating. Every table was filled. Unbeknownst to my cousin & I, our friend made a reservation; so, we were seated immediately but unfortunately in the back. The kitchen was open and the bar was too. I wouldn't say the place is huge, but every spot is used.
For Chilaquiles , French toast w/chicken, eggplant sandwich & a hash omelette and three cocktails and an iced tea the bill came up to $175.34. I have to say that it wasn't the most expensive lunch I have ever had, but I was shocked at the point that it was in a casual setting, not like my lunch in Napa, CA.
This place was cleaned and they had plenty of staff to handle the crowd. The weather was beautiful!! Even with the mixed up with the lunches we still tipped her. We paid our bill and were headed for our next destination.
