Woman at counter was very friendly, but burrito was just mediocre. I ordered the super vegetarian, it was about 2/3 rice, skimpy on the cheese (more costly ingredient), hardly any lettuce, no guac. The fact that the place was completely empty at 6:30pm on a Thur evening should have been a hint. Located in a run-down strip mall. There must be better taquerias nearby, I just don't know Hayward.

Hidden gem in Hayward! My husband and I have been going to El Indio II, which is their food truck on A St. When we learned about their restaurant closer to home we decided to try it out. First you place your order with the staff at the counter then choose your seating. Great service! Friendly staff. Delicious $1.50 street tacos daily, including weekends. Comes with complimentary chips and mild salsa, which is actually tasty. Not oily or stale. Pleasantly surprised and satisfied whenever we go. I wanted to post a review because when we go visit there is usually no one else there, but it is most likely due to others not knowing. The food is so good and reasonably priced so others need to know! They have ample space for families and groups. Big parking lot too. FYI my favorite are Tuesdays for their chicken tacos. They also have Sunday Buffet with a variety of Mexican food for $25/person I think 9am to 2pm. We look forward to trying that sometime soon!

This was a great place to have a lunch. We ate there twice. On Tue 05/30 and on 05 Wed 05/31. Both times, the food was outstanding, and the prices are fair.Parking: It is shared with other stores in the same mall.
Great place for a party ...today I had a family gathering and service and food were great ?

My daughter & I came to the buffet on Sunday, and this place was surprisingly good! You can tell everything I tasted was made with passion. My daughter can be pretty picky but she went back for more food, when almost wiping hers clean. There were so many options! They made fresh tortillas on the spot. Service was amazing, so welcoming & attentive. It was very clean place, with festive decor & good music. I will definitely be back!

Gross gross gross... how could u even call that asada.. hubby asked if nachos have Pico de Gallo the lady says no and says they have chesse beans meat jalapeños sour scream and guacamole he gets his nachos they have onions tomatoes and cilantro (what's in Pico de gallo?) And she named everything that comes on it and that wasn't 3 of them.... smh my burrito was terrible absolutely no flavor .. chips were the best part even tho we had a half of a tostada shell in the basket .. chesse in burrito don't melt. Hate to see If I got a quesadilla... never going back its no wonder I don't go to the a street location and they are close to my house
Walked over here whilst I was getting new tires replaced down the street. Cool find totally never even knew this strip existed, kinda hidden from the main drag. Which gives it a true local's feel. Even though it is basically a taqueria, it looks much more than that. This definitely used to be a sit-down restaurant at one point. The place is big for a taqueria with ample seating and actual cool decor. Telemundo on the TV and Hispanic romantic jams on pipe, taqueria vibe complete. Saw they had a specials board for 'Tacos of the Day'. Day I went they were having Carnitas Tacos for $1.50 ea. Sold, I'll take 2! They were super legit, almost too legit to where the grease factor was on the high side. The tortillas were grilled in oil, which I normally like. But the pork was so juicy and greasy, that between the two, made it a tad overboard. This is not for the faint of heart or Americanized palates. But really good flavor, porky and salted right. Also tried a bowl of Menudo ($15/3.5*) Pretty good, flavor and texture wise. Good chile flavor and the tripe pieces were tender enough. I like it a tad more tender where the tripe feels like silk. I think they may even add buche, which is the more chewy exterior of the pork stomach. And there was a chunk of pata meat, but it wasn't connected to any bone, just pure gelatinous/fatty goodness. I actually wished there were more of that. But again, the bowl had an impressive oil slick on top that I just couldn't ignore. I skimmed much of it off with a spoon before diving in, just didn't want to sip on that much oil. I think they should do more of that in the kitchen. If they did, then this version would be 4+*. They got Mexi beers in bottles and the lady at the counter was sweet. Super fast service too, like lightning fast. I would come back to try more things, and I wouldn't need an appointment in the neighborhood. Hood eats on!

Hands down the best nachos I've ever had!!!! The to go container was stuffed to maximum capacity with the freshest, crispiest chips topped with everything a nacho lover could want! Beans, guacamole, sour cream, jalapenos, pico de gallo, green onions & cheese sauce, yes, cheese sauce! On nachos i prefer cheese sauce over shredded. Shredded feels wrong and it never gets into all the nooks & crannies & spaces the way a nice cheese sauce does. Everything tastes fresh and delicious & you get such a large portion, easily 2 meals worth! Even my parents liked them and they don't like ANYTHING!! The lady at the counter was a sweetheart and very accommodating. And the very best part... Its literally a 90 second drive from my house! Ill absolutely be back!

This restaurant is clearly one of the tastiest place to eat in the area. Every time I go there I am absolutely glad. They hold their very high standard service and the topmost level of meals they provide. You always win with this place. Highly recommended.
