    Diamond Dave's restaurants serve Mexican favorites like quesadillas, tacos and chimichangas as well as salads, hamburgers and sirloin steak.

    About Yolandas Tacos

    Yolanda's Tacos is a fast-casual restaurant serving the traditional foods and salsas of Mexico. Our mouthwatering menu features fresh tacos, burritos, nachos, tostadas and more tasty Mexican favorites served with the Yolanda's experience. Founder Bob Walker met Yolanda Lopez of Jalisco, Mexico in Chula Vista, California during the summer of 1971. As they became friends, this retired lady took him, her 'gringo' son, aside and showed him how to prepare the traditional food and salsas of Mexico. In keeping with this tradition, Yolanda's tacos opened its first location in 1994 serving the fresh traditional food of Mexico daily.
