Came here to grab some tacos after the mariachi fest Tacos are good, fresh ingredients Salsa is good This venue has lots of seating available Street parking only no private parking lot Customer service is friendly Prices are reasonable

Had a grate time here came for the first time Anthony made us laugh so hard love this palace vibe is dope !!

These tacos are the ones known from Oakland. A food truck in a neighborhood that probably isn't for the faint of heart... But today you can get them in downtown Hayward, San Leandro and even if your on holiday in Vegas - they are convenient on The Strip.This location is in downtown Hayward. The Tacos taste the same no matter the location. I've had them at all locations and the only difference is the ambiance and maybe the interaction when you order. The original (or at least original to me... I don't know the official story or the timeline in which they expanded) is in Oakland. Its a food truck that is near the Smart and Final and a bunch of other competition - so you know it has to be good in order to survive. No longer do you have to go to this location. That one is a longer wait and harder to order. This location in downtown Hayward is less chaos and who ha on a random Friday or Saturday evening after bar hopping. Downtown Hayward has a lively bar scene and I wish this would be closer to Dirty Bird or Glenn's pizza joint. The building itself is so much nicer than it has to be. Tacos are fresh and delicious. The turnover of meats and overall popularity of the place ensures freshness which is the most important thing.Other competitors might be Fat Boys or Susy Q's. If your a few blocks away drinking in downtown Hayward its worth the extra walk of a couple blocks.

Pretty good taco place in downtown Hayward!!I went with the taco bowl, they put the sour cream and guacamole on the side for me. It was pretty good, they gave you enough, along with the chips and salsa.Relatively fast service, the day I came it was not too crowded. It did taste just like the Tacos El Gordo I go to in San Leandro, so they are consistent.The inside of this restaurant is very clean, enjoyed eating here!!

And how have I not heard of this place? Me! The Burrito King! To start this was a random pick from Door Dash for lunch.Door Dash did their job fine. Wanna guess? Yup, carnitas super burrito like I always do the first time, Im Trying a new place. Because if the Carnitas is no good, nothing else will be. The smile on my face started when I seen the size of this burrito. And the smile from ear to ear took place after the first bite. Wonderful flavor. The tortilla was grilled. Everything inside was well distributed so every bite was consistent. I'm 3/4 of the way through it now and I'm full. I did add avocado. I would definitely go back or re-order from tacos El Gordo again.If I had one negative thing, the chips were just OK. But the salsa was great. Came with a delicious spicy grilled jalapeño and onion. Very happy.

I liked my chicken burrito! The flavors were amazing! I believe there could have been some more cheese . I asked for extra cilantro and onions . Overall I would definitely order another burrito from here again. The churro cheesecake was good. But it definitely needed some vanilla ice cream to go with it.

Food is so not great but for the price is definity is a no, staff is very hostile when trying to use the restroom, rude and lying that the restroom is out of service when you can clearly see its fully functional.Area looks unclean, needing to wipe down the table and seat yourself before you dine down hereStrong regret coming here for any kind of business, best to avoid this place before you catch something.edit: make sure whoever handles your food isn't the same person taking your cash at the cashier because not once have I seen them wash their hands

Originally from hayward born and raise but recently move out of state. Was driving around my old neighborhood and decided to get some Mexican food. Saw this place and wanted to give it a try. When I walked I was greeted by far the friendliest cashier I have ever seen. She was so nice to me I'm assuming her name was lisset (found out it's printed in the receipt) wasn't too sure what I wanted to order so I asked her for a suggestion. She recommended me to get some tacos and so I did. I purchased 2 tacos of Asada and 2 of Alpastor. I wasn't sure what I wanted to drink so she recommended the fresh rice water (horchata) I went and got that as well. It was pretty delicious. There was also another guy there working with a hat don't quite know his name was but he was super friendly when he gave me my food. Overall a great experience ! Would definitely come back ! I'm wondering if there is a way to recognize their friendly staff.

This place is TERRIBLE! I placed a pickup order and went to get it...girl at counter told me I had to go to the other side of counter to pick it up. No one helped me after that and I stood there with a baby for like 10 minutes while 3 employees just stood there talking amongst themselves. So I just grabbed my food and started to leave only to have them yelling at me to bring MY food back because they didn't "hand" it to me. I was like no one was doing their jobs and I was just standing there and the girl was like "we are busy"...no one was there so not sure what they were busy. I definitely feel discriminated by these people and the food was already cold and gross. I will NEVER do business with this place again and will tell ALL my friends to never go to any of the locations if this is how they treat their non Mexican customers.

Horchata tastes like the powered stuff and really sweet You really gotta ask what's in their tacos bc they don't specify that thier Al pastor has pinappples Meat in general was meh , chicken and steakSalsa bar closed come dinner time ??Overall not worth it
