Q:
Are dogs allowed in the outdoor area?
A:
Yes, my family brought our Maltipom and sat out on the patio with him. I called earlier and they were okay with bringing him.

Panqueque is amazing! I'm not a huge fan of burrito and don't like chorizo that much either so I didn't think I'd like the Panqueque with grilled pineapple and chorizo. I decided to order it anyway since it's the most popular. BOY IT WAS DELICIOUS. I will definitely be back for that.
Fish and shrimp tacos are good but not as special.
Coconut flan was okay.
Service is good and the ambiance is hippy and cute.
Can't wait to go back!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Dionne H.Nevada City, CA012Mar 30, 2024
The service was good but the food.... Ok, this was not our first time here. Typically it's for dinner but today we went for lunch and it was so disappointing. Maybe it was a new kitchen crew, not sure, but it did not feel like we were at the same place. We ordered the calamari to start and barely any breading on the calamari. Ordered the surf and turf fajitas and so not worth it. 3 shrimp and the steak was not tender and enough for one tortilla. Also ordered the pork loin. Pork was cooked perfectly but the sweet mashed potatoes were lacking flavor. We will go back again but only for dinner.

I loved this gem of a restaurant! I instantly fell in love with the charm of this place. The customer service here is amazing and I love the ambience especially out on the patio. It feels so home-y. I ordered the enchiladas and they were so hot and delicious. The food came out extremely quickly as well! I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I will definitely be back to this gem again and again when I'm in the area!!

The service is amazing. Typically there's not a lot of people so you can get your food fast, and the food is unbelievable. It's amazing. The vibe is actually really cool.

During our mini-getaway this week, we stopped in for dinner at this adorable little place called Diego's in Grass Valley, CA. It is a Chilean inspired South American restaurant & tends to purchase organic ingredients from local farmers when possible!
It took a minute to get seated, though there were plenty of empty tables & staff running around. But once we were seated, they quickly showed us how many options can be made vegan or vegetarian on the menu, which was a huge help. They also offer little rolls that look like extremely soft, fluffy dough, however we were told they are cooked in pork fat so we declined. Thankfully one of the owners told us this first, as our waitress didn't think to ask & simply put the rolls on our table... I would have been extremely upset had I not known & went in for a bite!
The dining room is a bit spread out but overall, a smaller restaurant, which is why they recommend reservations during their busier hours. You can also see into the kitchen, which always make the dining experience more fun in my opinion.
For our appetizer, we couldn't decide between a few options, so we went with the : One black bean pupusa with tomatillo sauce, one stuffed jalapeño & one cheese empanadita. All served with fresh guacamole & pico de gallo.
The flavors were beyond incredible, but the pupusa & stuffed jalapeño were definitely my favorites.
For our main courses, I ordered the : chimichurri sauce to complement skewered citrus-marinated tofu, grilled to order. It also came with barbequed grilled veggies & Chilean rice & black beans.
I don't how they seasoned & marinated the tofu so well but it was to die for! I'm determined to learn their secret!
My husband ordered the : A savory crepe with a creamy cheese sauce & seasoned grilled veggies. Baked with sweet red pepper sauce, sprinkled with cheese & topped with fresh guacamole. For his protein, he chose the citrus-marinated tofu as well.
He said it was delicious, had scrumptious flavor, & was definitely a huge portion of food!
We also didn't realize it was Happy Hour, so we got $1 off sangria & $2 off our appetizer! I tried their Paloma & it was so tasty, but also recommend their sangria & their wine list!Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Patricia A.Grass Valley, CA04Mar 18, 2024
I prefer the back room with the glass mosaics. Wonderful choice on menu! I have been to Diego's with my sons.

OMG, my wife and I just left this place, found it in a random food search. The food is fantastic, a fusion of Latin American cuisines including seafood like calamari, so it's not a taqueria. It's quaint and easy to have a private conversation.
