Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Benicia

Delicious food & kind & prompt service. It was a birthday and they went above & beyond! Thank you!

Food & service continue to be excellent. We recommend going on a weekday if possible. Only because it is quieter when they are less busy. On other hand they do a great job of servicing everyone quickly even when busy.

We had dinner at Matador with 2 friends. The place is small but it was full. We ate 3 super burritos and they were HUGE. We ordered the tacos as well and three drinks: two “paloma” and one “desconocido”. Everything was amazing!

A good waiter is essential to truly experience Pippal. This is NOT your neighborhood 'curry joynt' and if you restrict yourself to "old reliables", you will be missing out on dishes absolutely unique in the EBay! Indian cuisines/fusion are some of the finest in the world and Pippal is your chance to expand your culinary tastebuds beyond the 'same old, same old'. The Prawn Pepper Curry, Masala Mini Idli, Masala [French] Fries, Achari Paneer Tikka, Meat Dhansak Pulao and Chicken Dak Bungalow are some of the remarkable dishes we've had in our 4 visits. Order the beef rib-eye medium-rare; the baked bread underneath (the steak is whole, not sliced; atop the bread) is crusty but delicious together (ask for extra steak knives!). Note that current desserts are best shared by 2-4 people. Also, the new menu (on the back page) lists 3 levels of prix fixe dinners: the prices listed are PER PERSON, to be ordered by a group. Again, be guided by the waitstaff; if you love spicy food be sure to tell them!

We celebrated my daughter’s 21st birthday with a brunch. Twelve happy and well-fed people! We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed incredible food, a jazz ensemble, and a wonderful ambiance. We loved the ricotta pancakes, shrimp toast, and huevos rancheros. Everything was perfect!!
