Tacos La Chaparrita

This just might be one of my favorite taco trucks. Not that I've been to many, but the two times I've been here were delish and seemed so authentic. Sorry, this Asian girl isn't an expert on Mexican food but for whatever it is worth, I enjoyed the food I've received. And the staff is so nice.Can't wait to come back again for another bite!

True taco truck tucked into a busy industrial neighborhood, and even though I've only been twice, it does seem popular with good traffic. There's a few communal tables outside if you don't want to eat in a car. So I've only got tacos here. Their Tortas (sandwiches) seem to also be quite popular here, but since those are usually much too big for me during the lunch hour, I still haven't tried one yet. But in the 2 times I did get tacos here, they were both quite different in style. So I'm assuming depending on which cook you get, you may not get the style you are into, if you are into a particular style, which I am.First time I tried 2 types of tacos. These tacos seemed a bit more basic where the small tortillas were just warmed on a griddle to make them softer and pliable. Second time trying the tacos were griddled with more oil so it had a more pronounced crispness without being brittle. I like this type of tacos much more. Tacos here start at about $3 per and go up with certain items like lengua and tripas. Pretty standard pricing for these days. I used to remember when one could get a 4 taco lunch and a drink for under $10. It was like that for over 20 years of my adult life. Now gotta spend about $20 for lunch.Meats Tried:Carne Asada (3.5*) Pretty basic and standard.Suadero (3*) They use brisket so not OG suadero. It is meaty but could have been cooked to more tender then crisped more on the grill. This just seemed like cubed brisket.Lengua (4*) Pretty proper, no complaints. Tender yet meaty. Definitely needs that salsa to make it pop. Chicharon (2*) I got this once cuz they were out of carnitas. I usually like chicharon whether crisp and fried or re-cooked in a sauce. This was cooked in a sauce which I was looking forward to. But the chicharon pieces were straight fat and I had a hard time with the texture. Usually most chicharon are they type with a bit of meat attached to that skin. Not here. Good thing I only ordered 1 cuz I wouldn't have been able to muscle down 2. I'm sure I'll run into them again, hopefully I can get someone to split a torta with me.

Get your three dollar tacos here !!!I go nowhere else! Shoutout to the primo and prima!!

I come here often, they have pretty good tacos. I always go for the basic Asada, Al pastor, and or Lengua which are all good, sometimes I think the Lengua can use a little more flavor but all in all it's good. My brother ALWAYS gets himself a Hot Cheeto burrito with Asada and it looks very appetizing. If I'm not mistaken they take cash and card so that's always a plus. Also I do believe they cater.

I went to the taco truck off Whipple. Great food, quick service and friendly employees. I went during the heat wave and it was 100° but certainly didn't impact the quality of service. I will definitely be back!

A random day to look for food, I decided to try this place a go!!!! The tortas here are wonderful! I had a torta milanesa , it was really packed and yummy! Great price and wonderful flavor!!!!!! The service was amazing, and they only have one table , most folks to go or their car. I would definitely recommend to try it out!!!!!!!!

Been coming here for years, since the burritos were $5. Times have changed. They're located across the street from target next to the mobile truck depot and Chp office. They pretend not to speak English, over charge and skimp on the food.Use to be the go to place but, just another truck hiring immigrants trying to pass as good cheap good food. I do not recommend going.

One of the best in Hayward!!! I have gone to their storefront location on Tennyson Ave which is also awesome but I've always been partial to the truck on Whipple Rd. I get the veggie tacos and the nachos and they taste amazing. The service is impeccable and the ambiance is exactly what you can expect from the taco truck but the Tennyson ave location has a nice interior

Everything was very good i had a torta milanesa very fast to get my order with good attitude towards the customer

They were amazing. And the food was delicious The truck is very clean highly recommend to everyone Definitely come back
