I just thought Pnut was looking for something quick on the way. If you like B-burritos there are two places that are fairly good - Tequilla's Taquiria on North Vasco near PW market on your left...Starbucks is there too. There is another Taquiria on South Vasco behind the 7 -11 on the right (next to another Starbucks - we have 10!) Yes Wente is awesome but do they serve breakfast? I know it is quite pricey...

Originally Posted By Big Thunder yeah I figured that Wente is a pricey fancy restaurant, and I know it's far from the hwy. I don't think it's "Deans"..

It's very central since when I get there I'm all over the place... San Jose area, Fremont, Hayward, Oakland, SF, Concord, Stockton, and more. Sometimes I even pop over to Sacramento from Livermore. It's weird, I wont drive to the bay area from Sac, but I seem to have no problem driving from Livermore to Sac in the morning. Only problem is, Livermore seems to be popular with other business travelers, it's hard for me to get rooms at the places I like to stay. Last time I had to stay in Tracy, [yuck] actually it wasn't too bad.
Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains I ate at Casa Mexico once I thought it was okay - until I spent the evening in the potty!!!! If I really want good Mexican I head into Pleasanton and go the the El Balazo (not the one on Hopyard - yuck) but the one next to Walmart!! I don't have a clue to which place in Pleasanton Big Thunder is talking about - but I think the Red Tractor at Hacianda Crossing serves breakfast and does Millis in same center?

I believe it was beautiful if you looked up though

Peeaanuut, if your hunger can't make it to Livermore have you considered stopping at Anderson's in Santa Nella? I love to stop there and can rarely get DH to agree when we are sooo close to home. It's a tad kistchy (sp) which is the charm. Good food and NICE restrooms
Originally Posted By peeaanuut <<Good food and NICE restrooms >> *sniff* *wipes a tear away* and i didnt think anyone read. lol Where is Santa Nella along the route. Is that off the 805?
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Lisann, would you guess that Santa Nella would be about an hour plus before Livermore? Hour and 15? Andersons is the restaurant with the windmill, Pea Soup Andersons, there is one on 101 in Buelton too. It's connected to a Best Western. Don't be put off by the Pea Soup name They both have a coffee shop and a restaurant (menu is similar) with lots on the menu including frikadellar and medestapolse (SP? Danish meatballs and sausages) and have a full breakfast menu. Each also has a "bakery" section with pasteries and cookies for the road Now I'm hungry and I just ate breakfast!
