“Lalo's Taqueria stands out as one of the best taquerias, offering delicious, authentic Mexican food. The asada burrito is a highlight—flavorful and generously portioned. Tacos and tortas are equally satisfying. Despite my personal preference against the sweeter al pastor, the unique flavor might appeal to others.Beyond the excellent food, Lalo's impresses with its cleanliness. The spot is well-maintained, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, Lalo's Taqueria is a top choice for flavorful and satisfying Mexican cuisine. Highly recommended!“

The cook ?‍? was listening and asked “what do you like?” I gave him three types of seafood he delivered over expected plate was not in the menu, I can’t believe I know this place for over 6 years and never tried it. I was fairly priced and I will definitely come back to try those dishes in the menu!“

We got there at almost closing time (630 pm, they have very limited hours). we had the diablo shrimp meal & chili rellano/flauta meal. Everything was delicious, including the chips & salsa, & the flan for desert. Definitely a family owned business atmosphere, nothing fancy ..even grandma sleeping in the back table after her long day of being there ?? overall... we enjoyed the food and would go back if we were in the area.“

“Okay so my partner and I stopped here after a long bike ride from Oakland, we didn’t have a lock but one of the staff was nice enough to lock our bikes up in their yard. Super sweet of her!Now, the pros and cons of this place:Pros:Pricing: In a cruel world of terrible $6 hipster tacos this place is a shining beacon of hope offering delicious tacos for $3. Burritos are very fairly priced too for the substantial size!Speed: Food was served super quick, and hotFood: The burritos were straight fire, bruh. Tortillas were grilled, they use whole avocado slices instead of guacamole, and their meats were so dank it made me wanna slap my grandma. Also a great meat to rice ratio.Cons:SIIIIIKE, there are no cons. This place is hella sick. Go eat here.“

“I have been absent for a while due to the fact that I've been working on my health and on a diet. But today I decided I wanted a burrito. Anybody want to take a wild guess what I got? That's right a Carnitas super burrito. I've seen this location many times around where I work and decided to try it. I'm glad I did. Plenty of parking nice outside area with seating. And the people inside were very nice and got my order out fast. It was 12 bucks for the burrito and on the first bite. I knew it was worth it. The flavor was fantastic. 90% well balanced all the way through so every bite was almost the same. They even grilled the tortilla which I like. I do recommend this location if you're in the area. I will return. They do take cards and cash and you can order ahead.“

“This is my go to truck in Hayward, I’m lucky enough to live around the corner, this truck makes up for Val’s closing..IYKYK it’s located at the end of Bst.before you hit Center St. and when I drive by Vermont and I don’t see the yellow truck with the canopy I actually get sad, real talk the tacos I get are actually therapeutic. I get 4 Pastor tacos with pineapple and all the fixings, onions, cilantro, and a sauce that is hot but not too hot(if you like it hot)get mild if you can’t hang lol the people working are always the same friendly great people each time I go see them, they even gave me a hand with my car when I was in the rain, ate good and got my car on the road. They do it all lol best flavored Pastor, I’ve tried numerous different trucks and hands down they are the best in the bay. And the price was very reasonable for 4 tacos and a can of coke its 12.50 after 3 dollar tip it was 15 bucks…never spent a better 15 in my life…five stars would be the minimum I’d add a couple more!Parking: Parking is no more than 5 feet away and is always lit good and available most of the time.“

Other than that it was good! The Jamaica was very authentic.“

“The best burritos in Hayward. I HATE that they started using the tiny salsa cups and you have to ask for tops but the burritos and the orange salsa is bomb. I've tried a bunch of burrito spots in Hayward and this one actually gives you a decent size burrito. A Super Burrito should be big. Period. I really need them to get the regular salsa cups again or give me the recipe because I'm tired of looking crazy asking for 15 tops. Lol“

“So we were in the area car shopping and we got hungry as usual. I went to my yelp my reliable source and I saw this place. One other yelper said a gem and it truly is. It felt like we just discovered a treasure chest. Upon arrival I was a bit worried but im so glad I went in the driveway. The people were really friendly and welcoming. There was music and it was superbowl Sunday so everyone had their jerseys on. It's beautiful to see family get together. The tortillas are hand made the meat was perfect tender soft. The salsas were super delicious. I tried their oil based chile and let me tell you I make my own and have my secret pinch I use cinnamon on mine and I tasted peanuts on theirs and it was really good. We will definitely be back if we are in the area or if our tastebuds want some more. I cook at home but we were busy today and hungry hangry at some point. Lol but for sure super good and worth the money . Definitely recommend to my yelpers.“

The place is presentable but small, its style of music and atmosphere is 100% Sinaloan. It is currently undergoing some renovations which does not give a good view of the place. The prices are below average when seafood costs less than 30 dollars per person.Parking: In front of the restaurant“

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!“

Arteagas Food Center Mexican • $$
236 A St, Hayward

“This is a fairly new Arteagas here in Hayward on A street. This is usually the store I go to when I need to grab something quick to cook, since the store is literally a 4 minute drive from my place. The location itself is pretty clean all the stuff that works there is really nice, they are very welcoming as soon as you walk in you are Greeted. The grocery section isn't really big it's actually rather small to be honest. They do however keep their shelves stocked. One of my favorite things to get here is the fresh baked sweet Mexican bread that is freshly made every single morning. This has the softest sweet bread I have ever tasted at any Mexican grocery store. Not too sure how they make their bread compared to everyone else but this is a spot to get soft pan dulce! They also have a small Taqueria. The people that work it are nice the food is tasty, their Asada is delicious. I personally don't like the fact that they use their microwave to heat up half of what they serve or anything that comes with cheese. Maybe it's just me but that sorta throws me off a little. They do have a nice and organized meat section along with Creamery section Overall, this will be my quick pit stop if I ever need to grab something to cook while in a pinch.“

“Craving satisfied! I recently indulged in the mouthwatering pupusas at Los Cocos and they were a hit. Made to order, each bite was a delicious blend of flavor and freshness. I savored both the classic bean and cheese pupusa and the mixta, both soft and delightful. To complement my meal, I opted for a maracuya drink, which was sweet and refreshing, perfectly complementing the savory flavors of the pupusas. Despite being pre-made, the agua frescas were served in generous portions and tasted as if freshly prepared. The spacious layout of the restaurant provided ample seating, making it a comfortable dining experience. Overall, a delightful culinary journey that left me fully satisfied and eager for a return visit.“
