Thanks to a reader for sending word that Taqueria Limon 3 is coming soon to downtown Walnut Creek where Home of Chicken and Waffles used to be. Taqueria Limon is based in Fremont with another restaurant in Martinez. Check out the online menu for their Martinez restaurant here.
Encina Grande, Walnut Creek
Look for Starbird Chicken to open at the Encina Grande shopping center in Walnut Creek in January 2021. Check out their menu here.
From their website:
We believed that fried chicken hadn’t reached its true potential, too often being heavy, greasy and featuring the same old flavors.
We began with quality, trustworthy ingredients and real scratch cooking, taking antibiotic-free chicken raised in our Bay Area backyard and hand-breading it in our secret blend of gluten-free flour and spices.
Blackhawk Plaza, Danville
At the beginning of the year we learned that Choza Tacos Y Cantina would be opening at Blackhawk Plaza in Danville and they have now opened. Check out the Danville menu here.
From their website:
Serving fresh, authentic Mexican cuisine. Homemade tortillas made on-site. Full bar with house made margaritas and top shelf tequilas. Family friendly. Chef Jorge Hernandez will be creating amazing dishes to please the most demanding palates.
The Veranda, Concord
Late last year we learned that Devil & Angel Soft Ice Cream & Milk Tea Bar would be coming to The Veranda in Concord and they have now opened. I love both soft ice cream and boba so I really look forward to trying this place out. You can order online here.
From their website:
Devil & Angel welcomes a cultural inspired Soft Serve Ice Cream along with traditional hand crafted Boba drinks that brings traditional and modern creations in one made with fresh ingredients daily
2095 Salvio St, Concord
Milano Ice Cream, featuring a traditional Afghan dessert called sheer yakh, and gelato, is coming to Concord right near Todos Santos Plaza. Check for updates on their Insta here. I’ve never had sheer yakh before so I look forward to checking this place out soon!
The Veranda, Concord
Last summer we learned that Doppio Zero Southern Italian would be coming to The Veranda in Concord and they have now opened. Check out their menu here. This is a great spot with plenty of outdoor seating as you can see at right.
65 Moraga Way, Orinda
The signage for the Italian restaurant Taverna Pelligrini, which opened almost five years ago in Orinda, has been taken down and it’s empty inside. Not looking good.
1333 N. California Blvd. Walnut Creek
I’ve received quite a few emails about Scott’s Seafood in Walnut Creek… They look to be closed for the time being, despite indicating they’re open on their Facebook page. If they are planning to reopen once indoor dining is available, why wouldn’t they mention this on their website and social media pages?
From a Facebook Community Post, “We will re-open in both locations when the ban on indoor dining lifts.”
