32 Best Mexican Restaurants in San Leandro

“Fantastic place to get tacos after a round of disc golf at Oyster Bay. Portion sizes are large, prices are good, the staff is super friendly, and most importantly, everything is delicious! The queso birria were outstanding and the carnitas was excellent, both in a taco and in a burrito. As a side note, the washroom was *immaculate*! My only minor niggle is that I didn't think their salsas were up to the caliber of the rest of their offerings. The music was a bit loud for me which is why I gave atmosphere 4 stars rather than 5, but it might be because I'm old. I will definitely be returning!“

“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“A Hidden Gem Right in My Neighborhood

I’ve passed by this Mexican restaurant countless times since it’s just a few minutes from my home, but I had never taken the chance to stop in—until today. My mom and I decided to finally give it a try, and we were so glad we did.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the generous portions.

Most importantly, the flavor of the food was outstanding—authentic, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. It’s the kind of home-style cooking that keeps you coming back for more.

I 100% recommend this place and will definitely be returning soon!“

“Dishes are fresh and well prepared. Excellent drink list. They have a bar themed portion of the restaurant, booth, seating, and countertop seating. Open till 10 last call for food is 930. Large parking lot behind the restaurant makes it easy to always find a place.“

“Even After devouring my torta all I could say was “ wow that was fire” over and over… I got half steak and half chicharrón , the steak was juicy and flavorful and the chicharrón was phenomenal and had the perfect crunch to go with the soft bolillo roll, all the toppings combined were perfect.. from 1 to 5 stars ⭐️ I give it 10 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️from the customer service, to the wait time to the flavors ??‍???“

“Just went to the new Livermore, Ca. Location and loved it! Cinco Taco will now be our default eatery. Ate the tacos tonight and got the Enchiladas for lunch tomorrow. For first time visitors during their opening they gave us a Churro plater that was AWESOME!“

“Good selection of food, nice place to have a quiet meal“

“About once a week I order food from Los Pericos because it’s always delicious. My preference is their tacos pastor. Today I decided to order the super burrito with chorizo & asked them to cut it in 1/2. They went a step further & individually wrapped each 1/2. I knew this burrito was going to be lunch & dinner, they didn’t. It may not seem like much to many, their customer service is awesome!“

“This is old school Mexican restaurant and food and thank goodness it still exists. Maze like interiors with old style decor, frescos on the walls, heavy furniture. It just gets more beautiful as the night comes. Polite helpful servers that know the menu. Lots of new variations but I went with the Chile relleno, cheese enchilada, rice and beans. It rushed me back to my childhood. Enjoy.“

“Clean inside, fast friendly customer service and the food was plated perfectly and very delicious my coworker loves his sope he said it was crispy just like he likes it and I asked him is it better than the other place you like and he said yes I was so blown away by his response that I had to make a review for this place enjoy“

“I travel a lot of work and try a lot of different places but this little restaurant has been one the best places I’ve been to yet. Homemade authentic food with great customer service! Their menu prices and proportions they give you are unbeatable especially in the Bay Area. I highly suggest getting the XL Burrito, you won’t be let down. 10/10“

“New Ownership that specializes in Guatemalan food. El Delicioso is the new name. I ordered a steak quesadilla and it was really good. I asked for pico inside the quesadilla and it was loaded with avocados. I'll be back again to try out the national dishes they serve.“

“My first time coming to this metro location, and the girl misheard my order over the drive thru order speaker.. I wanted one order of traditional flautas, somehow I got 4 tacos ? I was wondering why it cost so much.. so I went in to the establishment (instead of driving around the drive thru again) and explained the situation. Expecting to walk out with the 4 tacos still in hand, frustrated... I was suprised ?... the girl gave me back the $7 or so that I had overpaid, and was given my flautas.. cooked to perfection ??????“

“Went here in December, as I ordered tamales for the holiday! They were delicious! The price was reasonabe for a dozen & a half! Staff were nice. I walked in where a sign was posted to pick them up in line. Gave my name, staff got my tamales, I paid for them and left in just a few minutes! 👍🫔😊 Reasonable pricing for their food on their menu.“

“Todo muy bueno!! Muy limpio Servicio excelente!!“

“Cool hang out and great food“

“friendly staff, ice cream is delicious mangonadas are fantastic :)“

“There aren't too many La Salsa's left but this really is one of the best locations anyways. Come support these amazing hard workers who have awesome customer service and know how to cook! Food is always bomb! Busy shopping center so be patient if its hard to find a spot to park. It's one of the few places I still eat at when coming from out of town. #slurp“

“This place is great. I have been here about 8 times since I found this spot. It's a taqueria, not a full-blown restaurant, so know what to expect.What they do they do exceptionally well. I will focus on tacos. I have had their tacos de Carne asada, Carnitas, Pollo Asado, and Al Pastor.Where I think they excell is on their Carne Asada and their Pollo Asado. The carne asada is fresh, grilled, not dry, quality cuts, and a healthy serving per taco. The pollo asado is also grilled, fresh, moist, quality cuts with a healthy serving per taco. Both are simply seasoned with salt. They garnish their tacos with cilantro and onion. They use yellow corn tortillas, which have a great corn flavor, don't fall apart easily, and add depth of character to the tacos.If you order 2 or more tacos, you can make it a plate and add Mexican rice and beans. For beans, you can choose from black beans, pinto beans, or refried beans topped with cheese. The rice is flavorful and moist. The beans are creamy and tasty (I have tried all).The Carnitas are moist and not salty. The Pastor is the kind with pineapple and is on the sweeter side. Both are good. None of the food I have had is salty.The staff are courteous and quick. This place is located by an HS, so timing matters.

Vegetarian options: They have veggie bowls and burritos.

Parking: The parking lot is adjacent, free, but small.“

“best burrito EVERRR..online orders only“

“I had no idea they had crepes here! I have ordered 6 crepes in the past 3 days, and I can’t get enough of them, they are so delicious!!! I’m glad I found a crepe spot near where I live. As of now there seems to be limited variations when it comes to their crepes, but hopefully they add more crepe styles in the near future. Delicious!!!!!Make sure to give them a heads up if you want the crepe crispier.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of variety from from regular ice cream menu, and many mexican style desserts.“

“Love this location because it’s super convenient and close to home. However, one night I had ordered a Refresca in LARGE, but the girl handed me a smaller cup (Medium perhaps?). Puzzled, I asked “This is a Large?” She lied and said “Yes.” However, the next time I ordered a Refresca, another girl told me “It only comes in one size.” Could’ve told me that from the start. Anyway, the worst experience was at the drive through one afternoon when a young guy who was manning the drive thru kept rushing me through my order. Kid was giving me no chance to look at the new items. He kept asking “Anything else? What else? Is that all?” Like, bro, relax. He didn’t even allow me to keep ordering. He just cut me off and said “Pull up to the window.” Mind you, there was NO LINE — No cars in front of me, no cars behind me. Don’t know if it was first day jitters or he simply has no patience for his job. Oh, well.“
