“Chicken burrito was excellent. The chicken was perfectly seasoned. The carnitas tacos were good not as fresh as I'd like it to be but I did order later in the evening on a Saturday. I liked that the tortillas for my tacos weren't oily like other taco places. I would stop in again if I'm ever in the area.“

The owner was really nice and friendly made me feel comfortable! There is plenty parking and a cute little seating area and also a park for the kids to play around! Highly recommend!“

“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!!!“

“Super interesting experience. Took my kids to a popular park nearby (mia’s dream come true) and this restaurant was walking distance so we checked it out.
Seemed like a popular spot for locals and the owner was soooo nice!!!
The workers did not know English but I used my very broken spanish and was able to order lol
The food was spectacular too. Only slight complaint i had was that the place wasn’t very clean. Their dishes were still dirty, etc.“

“Fresh, hot food! The only down side was that the flan had a slightly burnt taste & it was a bit pricey. Other than that the rest of my food was delicious.“

“My coworker and I found this on a fluke lunch outing
We saw the tortas and knew this was gonna be good
The staff were awesome
The tortas were bomb, the horchatta hit the spot, the salsa actually had good flavor, heat, and wasn't Hella watery. It went great with their chips.
We've been about 5 times in the past month and haven't regretted it once.“

“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.“

“I had El Pollo loco 3 times in the last week .I live there chicken drums and thighs.10-10 stars .Food was hot and ready. I enjoyed it a lot .I ordered a small Mac n cheese and small rice .It was very tasty and delicious. I will go back for sure again .It was fast and ready when I went or the drive through .“

“Amazing food!!!! Waitstaff were friendly and helped me decide what to order. Not my first time there, definitely not my last!!!“

“Consistent and delicious.“

“Had a delicious meal here. The birria tacos r the bomb!! The meat is tender and juicy and very flavorful. The mom is a excellent chef!! The place is super clean. U sit outside under a canopy surrounded by beautiful fruit trees and plants. It is a mom and pop food truck set up. It is not a wine and dine type of place. If u r looking for a place to have good food, this is it!! They r only opened on Sat and Sun and close when they sell out. I would definitely come back here again for more delicious tacos, refried beans and rice!!!😍“

“My mother-n-law got us hooked to this spot it’s absolutely my favorite place to get burritos“

“I popped in 8 minutes before closing time and the server welcomed me with a big smile, and made recommendations I had the Hayward roll and the Culichi rollo The sushi here was great, it is extremely hard to find great mexican sushi, they made it exactly like I asked and they didn't overdo it with the rice and made it portioned correctly with the filling the edges with the crunch I like without it being all chewy and rough, and the way it was presented was definitely a work of art as it should be. I would definitely recommend this place for mexican sushi and the this review is coming from an honest reviewer who previously owned a 5 star mexican sushi restaurant so I know what mexican sushi should be! Thank you very much!“

“A place that does a mangonada justice was finally found! The mango raspado here is phenomenal, with a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors. The base is made from fresh, sweet mango, layered with chamoy and tajín. The crunch of the tamarind candy on top added an extra layer of texture that was absolutely addicting. It truly satisfied the craving. The staff is always nice and friendly, making it a place worth returning to. Best in Hayward.“

“Quick drive thru, used to eat there when I worked in Hayward and we would always go. Hadn't been there in 30 years and it tastes exactly the same. I always got the carne asada super burrito. The salsa goes great with it. Highly recommend if you want to grab a great burrito on the go or to take home or work“

“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!“

“place to be on Taco Tuesdays“

“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...“

“I had a couple carnitas street tacos and she had a couple fish street tacos.Both were really good and tasty especially the fish was really good..Pickled carrots, lime slices, roasted Pico salsa...This is a semi-permanent taco truck.What the deal is is that they have rent on a whole corner plot of land with parking, the truck AKA kitchen, and a large covered seating area for all weather.These guys have been here for years and they operate a nice kitchen.Very consistent, good prices, most extras come with, and cold drinks.“

“When I search for a burrito I’m looking for the biggest messiest flavor packed burrito I can find—Casa Maria’s birria burrito had me on the floor. I went back the next day for the shredded chicken and it was quality meat soaked in a delicious sauce. The spicy salsa was thick, spicy, and amazing. They do not skimp here. They are also friendly and clean. Impressed all around. Don’t hesitate, eat here.“

“Been on road trip from Texas for a week definitely the best we’ve had so far. Fantastic food and service.“

“The food was pretty good and the hand-made tortillas was something unique. I received a good service by the staff. Also, when i tried the camarones empanesados it was on the spot. Thumbs up. However, i feel like prices should be shown because I wasn't able to see until I got my bill.“
