Omega Restaurant 

90 S. Park Victoria Dr., Milpitas; 408-946-8748

Open from 8am-8pm, Omega Restaurant is pushing through, and hopes to survive this tough time. Christina Escobar, who was taking orders earlier this morning, said that they’ve been monitoring the situation, and will decide in the coming days if Omega will be able to continue staying open, or if it makes more sense to close. She mentioned that many of their regulars are stopping in to pick up orders. Orders can be taken over the phone, or people can come to place them in person. Omega serves American diner food, and has been a Milpitas staple for several decades. The menu can be viewed on their website.

Pizza Box

Open from 10am-9pm, RawASF is offering free deliveries for orders costing $20 and up. With a vision of empowering others to take charge of their health, RawASF is the perfect place to go for an immunity boost (something we could all use right now). “We received a 98 health score from Santa Clara County Health Department from our most recent inspection, and our team members are SafeServe certified,” said co-owner Catherine Trinh. “We are also taking extra precautions of team members washing heir hands frequently and we provide a natural homemade hand sanitizer in our store.” RawASF is a plant-based superfoods bar that serves smoothies, bowls, and unique options, like the Taro Avocado burger. People can order on the phone or online.

Sea Link Cafe 

187 S. Main St., Milpitas; 408-493-6383 

Owner Marielena Enriquez is keeping her cafe open 7 days a week, from 8am-2pm. People can call in their orders at 408-493-6383, or order for delivery through Uber Eats. “I’m a single mom, caring for two girls…and this is stressful…” said Enriquez, when asked about how her cafe is faring during the shelter in place. “I need everyone’s support. Please come to my cafe.” Along with to-go and delivery orders, Enriquez also offers catering, and is quick and dependable when it comes to filling large orders. Her sandwiches are considered by many to be the “best in Milpitas.” Check out Sea Link’s Facebook page here.

Here’s a list of restaurants who have decided to temporarily shut down during the shelter-in-place…

CLOSED

Casa Azteca

20 N. Abel St., Milpitas; 408-946-0466

Restaurant closed on 3/19, due to a low amount of takeout orders.

Mils Diner

The Mils Diner owner mentioned to The Beat that he decided to close the restaurant on Tuesday, ’til all is clear to open back up again. He said that the average of 5 orders a day he was getting for take-out was not worth keeping the business open. “The other day, I got 5 calls for food. And that’s it. It’s not worthwhile to stay open from morning to afternoon. And I can’t keep the food fresh for each day, if I don’t serve it,” said owner Louie Perivoliotis.

We will continue reaching out to business owners and encourage the community to support them as you’re able to. Let’s keep our local Milpitas businesses going strong! Please reach out and let us know if you’d like us to add any other restaurants to this list, or if you know of any that have closed.

  2. Hi, can you look into whether or not Milpitas is going to support a temporary moratorium on rent? This is crucial for the city’s many residents who are forced to stay home and cannot work during the pandemic.

    The state governor has declared this already, but he’s allowing it to happen on a city by city basis. San Jose has already opted in so their thousands of renters aren’t getting evicted and flooding the streets, but I’ve heard nothing at all about this from Milpitas, or its mayor, or here, or anything. I am sort of reaching out here as a last ditch effort tbh.

    Thanks for all your diligent work.

    • Great question. Thank you. We are preparing an article now on what steps the City of Milpitas is taking during this pandemic. We will be sure to look into this item as well!

  3. Giorgio’s Italian Food on 643 E. Calaveras Blvd is also open for to go orders. Not sure what time they open but they are closing at 8pm.

  4. Hi! Celsius Ice Cream at 1350 S. Park Victoria Dr. #37 Milpitas CA 95035 is available for takeout and delivery, and this week thanks to UberEats, delivery orders from there are BUY ONE GET ONE FREE
