Delta Country's Working Table
Pittsburg is the East Bay's most genuinely unfiltered food city. The Mexican food is for the community, the Filipino cooking is from the community, and the Delta location means fresh fish you simply cannot find elsewhere.
Pittsburg's dining scene serves its working community along Railroad Avenue and the surrounding commercial areas. The city's large Mexican and Filipino populations have established restaurants that cook for their communities — not for visitors.
The Delta fishing heritage occasionally surfaces in restaurants that serve locally caught catfish and striped bass. Several family-run restaurants have served the community for decades with food of extraordinary authenticity.
Delta Fish Access
Pittsburg's Delta location provides access to fresh Sacramento Delta catfish, striped bass, and eel — genuinely local fish dishes unique to this part of California.
Authentic Mexican Food
Pittsburg's large Mexican community has established taquerias and family restaurants producing deeply authentic regional Mexican food.
Filipino Community Cooking
An established Filipino community serves outstanding Filipino home-style cooking at community restaurants.
Honest Prices
Pittsburg's restaurants serve their community at honest prices — some of the best value Mexican and Filipino food in Contra Costa County.
