As a Pinolean/San Pabloan who resides in Tara Hills, I have had the absolute pleasure of trying local eateries. Here are some of my favorite places to eat delish food.
1) Tina's Place (Pinole): OMG. Just about everything on the menu is DELISH!! Two thumbs way, way up on their Prime Rib.
2) The New Deli (Pinole): FRESH. Enough said. CLUB SANDWICH. Okay... seriously.

3) California Thai (El Sobrante): You absolutely must try their Volcano Salmon. I promise you it is not spicy.
