Churros

“We hired Oscar one week before our event on 7/13/24 and he did not disappoint. His churros were delicious, flaky on the outside and nice and doughy on the inside. Even 4 hours later, the churros were still fresh and delicious. All of our party guests took goodie bags home from him. I will definitely look to hire him again for our next event. Thank you, Oscar!!!“

“After driving by this restaurant for a few years, my best friend and I decided to take a chance and at least give it a try and we were NOT disappointed. Finally, a Mexican restaurant that had what we loved at El Jardin's while I lived in Manteca ... The taste of Authentic Mexican Food !!!!! I love this little cozy spot. I have actually been here to eat by myself which I never ever do, have called in an order to go 15 minutes after they opened because sometimes, I just feel the need for some "Little Mexico's" Cheese Enchiladas with rice and beans. (best refried beans around) My BFF orders either the Chiles Verde or Chiles Relleno plate. Price friendly, clean, good service, awesome food. The parking area is a little challenging however, I'll wait for a spot, their food is well worth the wait in my opinion. Try this place and share your experience.“

Pollo Asado Sabroso

“CAPIRO'S POLLO ASADO.SORRY FOR THE TYPO ABOUT HIS NAME. HIS NAME IS CAPIROJust off of the corner of Calhoun and mission, in Hayward, directly underneath El Portal liquor store's giant sign, is a gem that real roast chicken lovers will appreciate.This small, homespun stand has the absolute best roast chicken in the East Bay hands down. Cooked the flavorful perfection by the master himself, this is chicken with the flavor that the big chains try to replicate but cannot. Pollo loco, and chicken on fire, simply cannot compete with Tepiro and his incredible roast chicken. What's more is that he makes some of the best salsa caliente, a smokey slightly tangy old school Mexican salsa that goes perfect with the chicken. He's only open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from 11:00 to 6:00. Hours may vary. Don't miss out on this. This is The kind of home cooked food we need more of in Northern California.I probably spelled his name wrong. Please forgive me! And go there anyway!“

“I've been going to The Mexican for years. The food was top notch with an awesome tequila bar. I went in last Saturday, Dec. 21st, 2024 at 5pm and it was empty. That in itself seemed strange. We got seated. No water. No Chips and Salsa. We received menus and that was why it was empty. You're paying for everything at 25% to 45% more than before with many meals and all Combinations GONE. To get a Taco, an Enchilada with Rice and Beans was $38... That's INSANE... We walked out and sadly will never return... He's the same reason Buffalo Bills was a ghost town at 430pm on a Saturday. Went there the day before and it's the same - prices 25% to 50% higher. Out of 3 popular beers. No milk. Menu changes for the worse. Miss Bill and the good food and great atmosphere that used to be since 1983. Another spot I'll never go back to...“
