If you did not have enough time to try all ten restaurants on the list, fear not! San Pablo Restaurant Week has now been extended to this Sunday, May 19.

Restaurant Week allows you to try prix fixe menus for lunch and dinner priced at $10.95 and $19.95, respectively. Many dinner options feed at least two people, like the Medium 2-topping pizza with 10 wings and a 2 liter soda at Chicago Pizza with a Twist.

“We had 40 new customers come in for the enchilada lunch plate and fajitas dinner special last week,” says Monse Davalos of Taqueria Dona Maria (San Pablo Dam Rd near El Portal Dr), whose delicious mole sauce enchiladas are pictured above. “My mother spends all day making the 19-ingredient mole sauce, and it’s the best in town!”

“I had 20 new customers come to check out our specials, plus many returning customers happy to take advantage of the special deals,” Balbir “Sam” Sambhi, owner of Samraj Sweets ‘N Chaat Hut, next door to Raley’s in Princeton Plaza. “My wife, Raj, was a finalist on India’s Top Chef, and you taste the difference!”

“I’ve definitely seen new customers because of San Pablo Restaurant Week, which is great!” says Andrew Abraham, owner of Delhi Dhaba & Chaat (next to Smart ‘N Final on San Pablo Ave).

From a customer’s perspective, Nora Ruiz states, “Ever since I tried the dragon roll at Silver Ocean, I’ve taken friends and family here for their food. I especially love their shrimp wonton soup!”
