We love this farmers market at the mall parking lot. Located near the Jack's restaurant area this…read morefarmers market is every Sunday and has some great pastries, produce, plants, and kettle corn! We have had great service from free samples, kind staff, short wait times, and FRESH food. We come here often and always recommend this for its size and consistency of vendors. It's a great use of the parking lot space and offers plenty of parking nearby. I can totally see how they could also expand if they wanted to considering the mall parking lot is huge. Also great location being so close to Costco at the mall to get all your errands done in the same outing.

In my opinion, the best-ish farmers market in the east bay. Multiple and varied vendors. Lots of…read moreveggies, fruits, baked goods...Generally utilizes Apple Pay/card payments throughout. Clean up commonly occurs around 1pm with sales happening after 12pm. Lots of parking as it's located at once a vibrant mall. Minus 1 star dude to rude af folks; whether that's customers or vendors. For example, most of the time there isn't someone regulating the samples so folks' fingers are dabbing in there aka hecka gross and throwing the tongs back in the bin with no care in the world.

So if you're looking for a light snack then you'll walk away with plenty of leftovers BUT these churros will put a smile on your face: soft, sweet, and chewy that will make you come back again and again. And watching the dude make your churros in front of you is an experience in itself! Sorry no pictures since they only left me one piece

They served the best Hawaiian Malasadas with a banana filling. These balls of warm dough were generously showered with sugar and cinnamon and served with a side of goat's milk caramel. Price: $7.50. Haven't had malasadas this satisfying since my most recent trip to Maui this year when we dined at The Mill House. We were served with an identical version which was just as satisfying! With each bite, I was transported back to my trip to the islands. I looked at the list of vendors on the Bay area Night Market website and could not locate them. Would anyone know who this vendor was?

Thank goodness we bought our tickets online! Still had to wait in line, but it was fine. When I saw…read morethe big Asian cat, I already knew it was going to be mostly Asian. LOL Now that I read some of the reviews, it's true it didn't say "Asian" Night market on the flyer, but it almost seemed like one, having most of the vendors being Asian, which I was totally fine with! Although, I wasn't able to find any Asian vendors that were shorter lines, so I ended up eating mini burger and fries at Food Truck Mafia, which was like the only short line. LOL. The sliders were really good. The lady that helped us though, was really rude though. Honestly, I just wanted to eat something & not waste my time in the 1+ hour lines. At least I got to have Milk Tea at Bubbly when it got darker at night, when it surprisingly got shorter lines. (hello, night market, surprised it died down quick.) People are saying they didn't get Boba in their drinks, I was OK with grass jelly, which I got to get! So cool these bottles were & a keepsake. I also got to visit my friends booth, "Simply Lovely Catering." Those Hawaiian donuts though. Yummy! Sam's Matcha was worth getting too, because it had green tea AND red bean inside. #HEAVEN It was really cool to see a booth set up for karaoke. Also a booth set up for children's reading/telling stories. My least favorite was the merchandise vendors, I just skimmed through, nothing interesting to see. I would definitely come back.

Awesome food and great service!…read more Some friends catered from Vatos Tacos for a pre-wedding luncheon for some friends in their backyard. The mom and uncle of the owner showed up early to set up and start cooking. They were professional, kind, and very friendly. I was stoked that they cooked everything fresh on site and didn't just have food in warmers. We got to choose among proteins and veggies, and the salsa bar was awesome. Kids and adults alike really enjoyed the churros too! They boxed up all leftovers after the event, so we ate tacos for leftovers and froze a bunch too for later. The only thing one of my friends said was that paying extra for salad wasn't worth it because the salad was just from a bag. Everything was delicious, and I ate too much! I highly recommend Vatos Tacos for your catering needs!

Individuals kept wondering if the flea market will ever be back... And it did come back! EVERY 2nd/SECOND SATURDAY OF EVERY MONTH, March to November, 9am to 2pm And now FREE PARKING! It used to be $2 to park! I gave it the rating I did because/ 1. Since the re-opening, I never purchased a single thing 2. Vendors are all pretty much the same (and it's hilarious some of the faces are familiar and seen at estate sale hunts) 3. Love how they attempt a theme and have added old school cars to the mix! 4. The vendors are not the nicest... they don't budge and are not willing to negotiate (I mean that's the fun of flea markets!) 5. Kind of pricey. Pretty much all antique and used items. A couple of vendors sell new but very "made in China" items 6. Products are often repeated aka the same 7. It's not huge... you could probably walk the entire thing in less than 30 minutes Would I come back? I just love estate sales, rummage sales, flea markets, etc. It's great to walk around especially when you don't have the mindset of "must have to buy"

We came during winter and it was very quiet and small. I don't know if it's always timed like this…read morebut there is a car meetup in the parking lot next to it that the kids enjoyed going to. For summer break we decided to start the day here and find lunch close by. It was much larger and busier than it was in Winter. The great thing is free parking and free admission, the walk from parking to the fleamarket is very close. If you want to sell here the pricing per spot is low and you can pull in easily with your car. I believe each spot is $20 and this fleamarket happens the 2nd Saturday of every month. They do a good job of attracting vendors with that sell newer items in bulk, more classic garage style bring your old junk, plants, antiques, and some food trucks. The coolest thing we did was probably the train ride that goes through the fleamarket and car show. The car show area did smell like something peope like to smoke though :) It does get hot later in the day in Summer so best to come early. We ended up leaving with some nice snacks and old books for the kids.

MENU AND FOOD: This taco stand serves a selection of Mexican favorites at the corner of Industrial…read moreParkway and Whipple Road by Target. SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE: Service is quick and efficient. They are a pop up taco stand without any seating. PARKING: Located near a shopping plaza, customers typically park in the nearby lot. IMPRESSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: This is an our new favorite spot! Their meats are cooked well with food flavor. I usually get 5 tacos with buche and al pastor. They have a self serve topping/sides/salsa bar.

While the lines might make it look like a local favorite, there are some serious concerns that…read moreneighbors should be aware of before stopping by. As a regular in this area, I've noticed a few red flags that are hard to ignore: Zero Visible Permits: Most legal food vendors are required to display their Alameda County Health Department "green placard" and a city business license. This stand has neither. Hygiene Issues: There are no visible handwashing stations or proper refrigeration systems for the raw meat and trompo being served. In a 2026 climate where food safety is increasingly a concern, eating from an open-air tent with no running water is a major gamble. Unfair Competition: Our local "brick-and-mortar" restaurants pay high rents, city taxes, and regular inspection fees to keep our community safe and fed. Unpermitted pop-ups like this one operate with zero overhead, which directly hurts the small businesses that have been the backbone of Hayward and Union City for years. If you're craving authentic Mexican food, please consider supporting the shops that actually follow the rules and invest in our neighborhood. You'll get a safer meal and help a local business stay afloat: Taqueria Fronteras 1 (just down the road on Whipple)--Reliable, inspected, and consistently great. Don Julio's Taqueria--Incredible quesabirria and they actually follow health codes. Taqueria La Placita--A local staple that has earned its reputation the right way. Let's keep our community healthy and support the people who actually pay into our local economy!

If it's a weekday and between 10 AM and 6 PM (call to check as they sometimes close early when they sell out), go to Amelia's and try the Amelia's Taco Dorado (crunchy taco shell in a soft taco tortilla with the works of meat, guacamole, cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream and her own salsa). She also has regular street tacos and Tacos Supreme (comes with guac and sour cream). Hefty portions (she doesn't skimp on the guacamole or meat) and all of her prices are listed out. Best part? Call ahead to give your order to Juan and they'll have your order ready. We've ordered ahead while a few exits away on 880 and also at the start of the Dumbarton bridge. ============================== This has been on my radar since my colleague told me about the best tacos he'd ever had in the Bay Area including al pastor sliced off a trompo, but then Tacos Grill Los Gonzalez disappeared for a while from the Apex used car lot. They're finally back so we did the long trek over to try them twice. I might come back if I happened to be in the area and saw zero people in line, but otherwise, the wait time is too long. They are not lunch time friendly as orders take a while to come out. First visit, there were two people in front of us and we ordered four tacos. It was a 28 minute wait. Second visit, two people ordered in front of us plus one person who picked up their order right as we got there. We ordered six tacos and waited 37 minutes. That is very long for a food truck. The people in front of us were getting impatient and repeatedly asking for status updates. There are no prices listed anywhere so you have to ask about each item or order off of blind trust. The trompo seems to be gone and it appears they use bulk bagged "al pastor" now, or at least it looked and tasted like what you see when taquerias order large plastic bags of pre-sliced, red-dyed meat to grill up as needed. The paper wrapper around each taco is a must because the fresh made tortillas fall apart after one bite, even if you are eating within minutes of being handed your tacos. Other options nearby are Amelia's Kitchen Taco Truck on Decoto with plenty of parking before Regan Nursery, Tacos Sin Fronteras (another food truck) a block down on the same side of Thornton and Mi Lindo Sinaloa (sit down restaurant) on the opposite side of Thornton.

This food truck was serving some delicious hot dogs at the 2023 SubZERO Festival this past weekend…read more Service was great from everyone on that truck, friendly, efficient, and just a welcoming environment overall, even after 9pm on a Friday night. Awesome worker (the one making and calling out the orders) recommended the kamikaze dog, probably cuz he was a pro at making them. I got it without the sriracha, and it was perfect! A sweet and savory combination of flavors, especially with the semisweet grilled bun and thick and juicy beef frank, not your ordinary hot dog, it will have you craving more after your last bite. And the fries remind me of amusement park fries I haven't had since I was younger, not too oily and the taste was quite good, I couldn't resist even though I normally prefer less carbs. Altogether, it made for a satisfying meal. I know the food truck does plenty of private events and catering, but it would be nice if there was a way to more easily find their upcoming locations open to the public, since they don't seem to have an official website or updated social media page. I only knew they were at SubZERO this past weekend cuz of word of mouth. Anyway, if looking for unique gourmet hot dogs and burgers, I recommend Road Dogs.

The Yelp information doesn't reflect that the location that's listed ( 27812 Loyola Ave, Hayward…read more ) is not where the actual shave ice is sold at. This address is a residential house. The restaurant or food truck or business is not at that location selling anything. That would have been nice to know ahead of time. As for the hours that Yelp lists (12:30am to 5:30pm) , we were at that location (27812 Loyola Ave) at that time (2:30pm) on Sunday 11/12/2023, and there wasn't a anything there that was selling shave ice. My guess is a food truck is only for special events at an arranged place that are planned ahead of time. I see that this business has been "claimed" on Yelp and "Verified by business owner over 3 months ago", so it would have been best if the owner updated the company's information on Yelp to explain where exactly this business/restaurant/food truck is located or if it's for special events only. It does say "Shaved Ice, Food Truck" but I thought that meant it also had a food truck in addition to a physical location/restaurant ( 27812 Loyola Ave). I give 4 stars because detailed information is missing and should be added by the business owner.
