Called Barranco, the restaurant will feature seafood, a ceviche bar, family-style tapas, rotisserie chicken, empanadas, classic Peruvian skewers, alfrajores and more.
This is where Baja Fresh Mexican Grill used to be, right near the BART station.

American Graffiti, an Academy Award nominated film, was voted one of the American Film Institute’s top 100 films of all time. It tells the story of four teenagers on their last summer night before college. Rediscover drag racing, Inspiration Point and drive-in theaters in this nostalgic look back at the early 1960s.

Last week it was finally confirmed that the boba cafe T4 would be coming to downtown Walnut Creek where The Candy Counter used to be but intriguingly as you can see in the above signage Poke Salad will also be opening here as well. Poke Salad opened late last year across from Todos Santos Plaza in Concord, which just so happens to be located next to another new T4 cafe. Check out their menu here.
Considering Oke Poke will also be opening in downtown Walnut Creek, it looks like we have two trends, boba + poke so having it in one spot sure is convenient for the trend-setters.

I work from home but recently I’ve been driving or taking BART to San Francisco and other cities through the tunnel and can’t believe the traffic coming east bound in the afternoon. It really crawls even with the fourth bore. Where do you work? Is traffic or public transit becoming worse these days or is this typical?
