El Taquito - Hayward

I have been coming here since I was a kid. It’s always been great. Great food. Great service. Nice family atmosphere. The green sauce is my favorite.

A really great combination between an old school Mexican Family restaurant and a stand selling street tacos, this working class place in Hayward, served me some tacos that were HUGE with meat, and where as I ordered three different tacos, I didn't know that each Taco Order came with Two tacos! Notes: The Carne Asada has that taste like some expert Grandma or Taquero Callejero cooked it. The Carnitas were moist and juicy like I like them, and the chorizo was piled HIGH in the Chorizo order. The tables all have onion, Chile, and two salsas one Verde and one Roja, in a four-way metal tray, as do many old school restaurants especially in Southern California. The spicy Salsa Roja had hints of mint, and oregano, which made it unique, and their flan, was fair, and I think had a little chocolate in it. NOTE: order light! they don't mess around here! Try one order of tacos and then see if you are still hungry, don't be Tragon like me! Great people, really nice, and the Patrona there (the queen bee) reminded me of some beautiful Mexican movie queen I remember from when I was a kid in Veracruz, going to the movies near the Zocalo, but I can't remember her name. This place is real, down to earth food, for real people and I recommend it when you want to get real bang for your buck. Taquito Rocks! Next time I'll try something new.

So first off, it was packed but we were sat immediately. Instantly were brought chips and salsa which were filled the second we ate everything. Then in no time or order was taken and our food was delivered less than 5 minutes later. Everything was absolutely delicious. The portions are huge and I couldn't believe the quality. Service was also very friendly. Absolutely incredible.

Professional courteous food portions large flavor was Authentic atmosphere great wait staff and cooks friendly love loved this spot

A gem of a restaurant that you could easily walk/drive past by without noticing though if you have been there once you would make the trip more often than often itself. My friend happened to drive me down there and we ordered wet style burritos. He ordered a super veggie burrito for me and an Asada burrito for himself. They were kind enough to take our orders even before the grills were fired up as we happened to reach there 30 minutes of so before the opening time. Picked up the burritos and started devouring them. Every bite was so infused with an amazing taste and kept us craving for more with every further morsel. Was a big burrito to finish by itself but we were able to do justice with the serving and it really was a filler. Would recommend this place for sure in case you are looking to grab amazingly tasty and authentic Mexican cuisine. Increiblemente sabroso !!!
