Whiskey and Beer - Food

Mare Island is a deserted navy base that is undergoing a revamp. It's worth checking out the Savage and Cooke distillery to see where the area is headed. A very unique vibe.
This is a creation from Dave Finey, a respected wine-maker in Napa. The whiskey is infused in wine barrels before bottling. Very high end distillery worth checking out in Mare Island - an old navy base currently in the process of gentrification.

Mixed reviews on this taco truck but I'm a fan. Very Mexico-like vibe and decent birrias. Any taco truck in Vallejo will be good, except the one in front of the the Vallejo furniture store, which is well below average.

Food and Coffee

Best place in Vallejo imo. Semi-normal people, excellent food, and good morning coffee spot. This is where you can get a city-style espresso drink, most of the time. Depends on who is working. Only issue is they are closed on Mon and Tues.
