If you love fancy Mexican cuisine and live in the East Bay, there’s great news. An upscale new Mexican cuisine place is coming soon to Lafayette, California.
The Bay Area Telegraph stopped by the new location of this upcoming restaurant. It’s located on Mount Diablo Blvd, in the same space formerly occupied by Lavash.
The new restaurant is El Talpense. Signage is up, and it looks likely they’ll be opening soon.
Why so fast? There are two factors speeding up the opening.
One is the fact that the space was already set up as a restaurant. It doesn’t look like the new place is making too many changes–at least not so far. They also appear able to transfer licenses from the old restaurant to the new one, which will likely speed up the opening.
Also, El Talpense is not new–they have a popular location in Berkeley. So they don’t need to develop a whole new menu for the upcoming Lafayette outpost.

See what we mean about “upscale”? This isn’t your hole-in-the-wall taco joint. Entrees appear to range in price from $20 to $40.

We already have an “upscale” Mexican restaurant in Lafayette, it’s called El Jarro at 3563 Mt Diablo Boulevard. By “upscale” we mean authentic, varied and delicious Mexican dishes served by attentive staff in a warm family atmosphere over many years of dedication. Unlike your gauge of “upscale” meaning overpriced rice and bean dishes never tasted and indeterminate delivery.
