Golden State Taqueria - Pleasanton

I absolutely adored this restaurant! It delivered exactly what I was hoping for. The food was fantastic and prepared with fresh ingredients. The staff was extremely laid-back and friendly. The atmosphere was lovely. I will definitely be returning in the future. Food rating: 5 out of 5.

I visited this restaurant for lunch on Friday, the 28th. I was wearing my work uniform - a blue shirt with my company's logo, tan cargos, and a ball cap. I am African American. The restaurant was fairly empty with a few other customers already seated. I paid for my food and waited for my order to be called. After a few minutes, I noticed an older Mexican man, who I assumed was the owner, glaring at me from behind the counter. I returned the glare, refusing to back down. After a minute of staring, he went into the back, presumably the kitchen. My order was ready shortly after and I left. I will not be returning to this restaurant as I felt unwelcome as an African American customer. I do not recommend dining here if you are also African American.

The vegetarian burrito bowl was delicious. There are plenty of vegetarian options available at this restaurant. Parking is convenient as it is located in a shopping center.

Came in at around 11 AM today with my grandparents. Employees were friendly and answered our questions about menu items helpfully. We didn’t have to wait long for our take-out order, and our bag was brought to us by one of the employees. Food was still delicious by the time we got home. Get the carnitas tacos!Food: 5/5

Ordered a supreme burrito with chicken. It was bland. Tasted like water lol. Service did nothing, took my order and I sat down didn't check on me for a refill drink or nothing. Floor was dirty didn't sweep at all looks like.Food: 1/5
