Alfresco Eats: Patio Dining in Vacaville, California
Find your favorite alfresco spot to eat in Vacaville. With summertime warmth comes the perfect opportunity to take in fresh air and sunshine with your meal. Take your pick of Vacaville’s outdoor (and often, pet-friendly as well) spots to sit, sip, and savor.
DOWNTOWN
A stroll along Main street and throughout Downtown reveals plenty of opportunities to grab a meal outdoors. Enjoy a casual combo of drinks with shrimp and guac tostadas, served with chips and fresh salsa (ask your server about all their salsa flavors, the tomatillo salsa is especially delicious!) at Los Reyes. Or head to Foster’s Freeze, a longtime Vacaville favorite, for a mammoth banana split or freshly made milkshake to cool off on a warm, summery evening. Everything from covered patios to outdoor tables and dinner to dessert is on the menu, and you can’t go wrong at any of these local favorites:
IN THE NUT TREE
The Nut Tree shopping center offers patio seating at most of its many dining options. Sip on an iced Americano or Matcha Latte on the patio at Peet’s Coffee, then wander the shopping center and take a ride on the Nut Tree train before settling in for a meal at any of the outdoor-friendly dining choices. Sample epic enchiladas or a crispy, crunchy chimichanga at Villa Corona, a local hot spot for delicious Mexican fare, or enjoy some old fashioned cookout cuisine at Buckhorn BBQ, known for perfectly cooked pork, chicken, and sausage and their amazing, crispy-thin roadhouse onions.
