Tucked Away Behind a Car Wash in Pleasant Hill, an Exceptional Taco Eatery Among the East Bay's Finest.
In the heart of Pleasant Hill, California, lies a popular Mexican restaurant named Tacos El Patron. Established by co-owners Alberto and Mariana Pineda in 2018, this eatery has also made a name for itself in San Francisco.
Alberto Pineda, with his rich culinary background from working in restaurants in Mexico and Danville, brings a unique flavour to Tacos El Patron. His slow-roasted birria beef stew and fish tacos, inspired by his Baja upbringing, are among the restaurant's standout dishes.
Tacos de pescado, a dish made with battered swai fish, is another notable offering. For those seeking something special, Two Especiale tacos come with a free side of cactus, grilled onion, radishes, and refried beans.
The restaurant, located at 2290 Monument Blvd, is open daily from 10 am to 10 pm. To-go orders can be placed on the restaurant's website or by calling 925-822-3993.
