Absolutely divine the spicy shrimp and chicken skewer are perfection! The chips and guacamole are also 10/10 don't sleep on Diego's!

The bomb!! I had the paqueques (wrong spelling) especial. Huge portion, could only eat half. Super flavorful and delicious. The wife had the pulled pork sandwich which was delish as well. Friendly staff and great service. Ps - ordered desert to go which I'm sure will be epic!

Really great, fresh Mexican food - the best around in our opinion! Friendly staff, comfortable environment and amazing street tacos!

Great food. The homemade bread & rolls will melt in your mouth, guarantee it. Service is always on point; I always request Kate. The ambiance is very Costa Rica mixed with a splash of Peru. Bright, colorful & Latin. You won't be let down at Diego's.

Fantastic service. Food was good. The rolls were amazing. We had the achievements and fajita panqueque. Enjoyed both. Service was impeccable, and I have very high customer service standards. Cozy and full of character. Sneaky little Pink Floyd table just chilling in the corner. Adorbs. If you come here for anything...absolutely get the Celestina dessert. I just died. It 100 falls under the heading of "better than sex".

We moved to Grass Valley a month ago, and have had the good fortune to eat at a few amazing local spots. We found another one tonite! The bldg is unasuming, but large, w/ little if any discernable parking. Once inside, you're in a charming, if cold in winter patio, one with tons of charm and character. The main entry is unassuming, though the staff are kind and inviting. The food was farm to table and absolutely amazing! The wine list is nice, and the diners come in droves, creating a lively and warm environment. A new favorite I hope to cherish over the coming years~

Amazing food and great hostesses. Shelly and Diane are part of the family owners of this amazing Chilean restaurant that has been a treasure for the Grass Valley community for 26 years. We celebrated my wife's birthday there this past Saturday night and the food was amazing. Do yourself a favor and get reservations because it's very popular. My wife's favorite restaurant

We were visiting from out of town & decided to try Diego's. The food was beyond amazing, the margarita was delicious, and the service was superb! It's no wonder there was a line of people waiting. Must try!!

It was suggested to try this restaurant for my birthday. We arrived to a beautifully decorated restaurant with lovely lights outside. Initially, we were slightly perplexed about the entrance, but discovered that access was through the patio leading to the main entrance. When we walked in, we saw a lurch type statue and a festive Halloween decorations. I absolutely loved that aspect of the decor. The food options were quite unique and interesting, which we enjoy. My husband decided to order the flat iron steak with vegetables and sweet potato fries. I chose to have steak nachos with guacamole and salsa served separately. We arrived at the establishment within an hour of its closing time, and although we tried to order quickly so as not to inconvenience the staff, I must admit that the lively ambiance did not seem to be fully reflected in their demeanor. We would like to visit again in the future and perhaps dine in the patio area next time.

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!!
