AMAZING service and quality of food. The meat was very savory and well made. We got a burrito, tacos and a mulita de asada. It was delicious omg the best burrito I've ever had as of now, very filling. The tacos are made with hand made tortillas, and to top it off the salsas are self served. I definitely give this place a 10/10 and will be coming back very soon. Please support these kind people they are doing an amazing job. The commute from San Francisco Airport is very close coming down the bridge.

The middle of the night Insta reel death spiral led me here to the Hayward location of El Asadero Poblano. Our favorite Tijuana style taqueria is Mi Reynita but we were thrilled to see this place open just a few minutes down the street from us so we decided to give it a try. Rating Breakdown: 1.5/2 Stars for Taste -- We tried the asada, cabeza, lengua, al pastor, and tripas. Our favorite is the cabeza, which was tender and just the right amount of fatty. I'm not usually a fan of asada because it tends to be too dry for me, but the asada here had a good smoky flavor that made it a surprising winner. The al pastor was juicy but I was sad it didn't come with any pineapple. The lengua was pretty standard, it didn't stand out much to us. I ordered the tripas in a corn quesadilla. The handmade tortilla itself was chewy and delicious, but the cheese inside wasn't melted all the way and it felt like they skimped a bit. They were generous with the tripas , but even though I asked for it extra crispy, it came out a bit soggy/chewy and offputtingly oily. There were three types of salsa. The green mild salsa was kind of bland. The super spicy orange one felt more like pain without flavor. We liked the medium red one, which had a nice balance of flavor and heat. The horchata was creamy and sweet, the way I like, but my husband prefers the more watered down version. 0.5/1 Stars for Value -- It's $3.50 per taco, which is pretty standard nowadays. The quesadilla was $13, which felt expensive for what I got. There is also a $2 upcharge per item for tripas and lengua, which I found a bit steep. This is why I ordered the tripas as a quesadilla since it's also $2 but you get a lot more protein. The aguas frescas are $5, which is cheaper than some other places. 1/1 Stars for Customer Service -- The server at the front was super nice and helpful. You order at the front and they give you a ticket to give the kitchen to start your order. The salsa and grilled jalapeno/onions are self-serve. The truck next to the gas station so parking is limited. You can pay with cash or Zelle. Bonus star because although it does not beat out Mi Reynita in our hearts, we would come by again for tacos if we are too lazy to drive all the way to San Leandro. We would skip the meats with surcharge and quesadilla. They didn't have the fresa con crema agua fresca this time, so I would come back to try that next time!

Burrito

Had a big ass burrito here . It costs $25 but fed me all day. Usually when you buy big burritos, they tend to lose the flavor because they are so big, but not this one. It was super delicious and flavorful. They also have some great sauces and a small vegetable bar to complement the burrito. This is a real review. I was not paid anything. This place is actually real good.

Plain asada burrito

Very disappointed.. We were looking forward to really liking this spot for a new to go taco truck close to home. Asked for asada and pastor burrito, NO pastor. No sour cream. No cheese. No guac. No salsa.

Was craving tacos and saw this place on google and had to try it out, I have went to there oakland location but since they have one in hayward now its so much closer. BOMB TACOS I definitely recommend this place if you like homemade tortillas. The workers were very friendly and nice as well. If your in hayward try this place out

Food: Al Pastor Taco - good, generous amount of meat, topped with diced onions, cilantro, and salsa verde, the al Pastor had good flavor, wish there was a bit more char and pineapple but pretty tasty, corn tortilla was excellent, soft and pliable with nice toasted corn flavor Carne asada - very good, perfectly cooked steak that was tender with a char from the grill, also topped with onions, cilantro and salsa verde, same great corn tortilla, favorite of the proteins that we tried Suadero - okay, brisket was a bit dry and had the shredded texture reminding me more of carnitas, same toppings as the other taco, generous portion of meat, this one benefited from an extra squeeze of lime juice and some salsa roja from the salsa bar Service was solid, order at the truck window grab a number and wait for your corder to be called. Wait for our food was about 10-15 minute. They do have a topping and salsa bar with two types of salsa, limes, radishes and cucumber. Overall really enjoyed Tacos Gonzales, more of a 4.5 star overall, food was flavorful and freshly prepared. The carne asada was some of the best I've ever had in the bay area.

We were brought fresh tortilla chips to start, which were great, along with a Lazy Susan-style setup of salsas and toppings. Unfortunately, this was a bit of a miss for me--there were raw onions, raw jalapeños, a green salsa, and more of a plain red hot sauce rather than a true salsa. I would have preferred something more traditional like a good pico de gallo or a more balanced house salsa. Ordered a bottle of Dos Equis, which at $7 felt a bit steep. Most entrées were priced between $17-$25, which is pretty standard. I had the carnitas and they were excellent--really flavorful and well-prepared. I also tried a bite of the chile relleno, which was solid as well. Overall, the food was good and the service was strong. That said, it's a bit out of the way for me, and while I enjoyed it, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

Los Carnalitos is in a huge shopping plaza, we went in circles looking for it. Not a typical place you would find a hole in the wall like this in LA. I was skeptical. BUT... boy they proved me wrong. The line was out the door! And I can see why now. They have a cashier at the front, taking your order before you sit down. That's probably why the line was out the door and it took a little longer to get in. We came for the huaraches and I was impressed, they ask if you want nopales (grilled cactus) and we said yes! With protein of choice, the base of the huaraches has so much flavor. It's served with beans on top and some cheese. They have a red and green salsa. They both were good! I really enjoyed the food and service! Ended with a chocoflan and that was yummy too! If you're in the area, give this spot a try! Very authentic Mexican food!

Not a lot of taco spots are open late at 10p but I saw that PNT was open. My family and I pulled into the driveway and were confused because it looked and sounded like a bar. There were a few people standing outside and I asked if this was a bar or restaurant and the gentleman said it's a restaurant. We walk in and got some stares because it was late and we had kids. Didn't matter to us. Everything on the menu sounded delish and they had al day breakfast items. We ended up going with the following: 1. Chicken sandwich- 10/10 my teen loved this. It was a crispy thinly sliced chicken breast with all the fixings, and pressed to perfection. 2. Chicken Caesar salad - 10/10 the lettuce was Romain, tossed in Caesar dressing and parm, with grilled chicken filet. 3. 4 tacos de asada - 10/10 yummy chopped steak, seasoned and grilled to perfection. I'm not sure if the evening chef cooks better or maybe we were starving, but the food was great! Ambience at the time was pretty loud but I figure it's because people hanging out in the bar area. Definitely will be back.
