El Indio has quick and friendly service. The menu size is focused and they have a lot of meat options. I got a super burrito with Pastor and it hit the spot. The flavors are great and the burrito is well proportioned. read more

Skip it. Came here for lunch yesterday and got 2 lengua tacos and an asada taco. The asada taco was super greasy and and not much flavor. The lengua tacos were also under salted and pretty bland. There are way better options in the area for Mexican food. Skip it. read more

Asada burrito / lengua/ cabeza 10/10 thank you good price as well and better than metro/ guadalajara taqueria

Tacos are dry, needed flavor, bland, and the mest is not soft, needs much more time cooking. Not going back again. Los tacos estaban duros, sin sabor, necesitaban cocinar la carne mas tiempo, no regresaremos, que feo que vendan comida asi que tengan negocio y no sepan cocinar bien. nos salio mucho dinero y para wue no sirviera, no esta bien. el restaurante indio 1 esta mucho mas mejor, respecto a los cocineros. read more

This place has been around forever! I hadn't been in years because I don't live out here anymore but I stopped by because I wanted a burrito and they did not disappoint!! The first bite I instantly knew I'd be back! Thank you guys! It was everything I was hoping for in a burrito! I got to pet the kitty too! read more

El Indio II - Petting the kitty while I wait on my food. - Mexican Near Me - Hayward, California

This is our go-to location for Taco Wednesday (we prefer carnitas to Tuesday's chicken, since the discount taco flavor changes every day of the week). Absolutely amazing tacos. Used to be $1 for the flavor of the day but had to raise prices to $1.50 due to the pandemic inflation. You can of course order whatever flavor you want any day, but I'm never craving a certain meat so much that I'm willing to pay over twice as much to avoid waiting a few days. They also sell other things (burritos, quesadillas) but the tacos are the star here. Buy a dozen and share with friends and family. I love the little stewed carrots you get alongside them, too. Despite being a food truck, they are reliably present at this location every time we've come by for years now. They do also have a physical restaurant location (not found on Yelp, I forget the exact location but it's advertised on the side of the truck now) but I almost prefer the food truck since the restaurant is a little stuffy and it felt weird being the only people there. There's outdoor seating nearby if you want to eat there, usually plenty of parking. read more

First off, this is a taco truck and it's super burrito is now $15. Ordered the Carnitas SB because it's always good and they gave me Carne Asada instead, like I wouldn't notice. Also, they gave me a regular burrito and not a super, like I wouldn't notice, and charged the super price. I guess they aren't doing the carrots and pepper anymore either. It's a sad day in Hayward. read more

It's not the same as it was back in September 2021. I just had it last night and it did not taste the same as it did before. The $1 tacos are the reason why I came here and it was the most delicious tacos for $1 Ive had. Now last night was something else, the tacos were dry, the meat was extremely less, and the taste was not there. I know inflation has hit them hard with them having to upthe price now to $1.5 but yesterday was not it! read more

Worse tacos ever!! I order 4 al pastor tacos $3.50 each, it was all tortillas with flavorless salsa, barely any meat. Each taco had a few pieces of meat with mostly fat chunks no seasoning or flavor. It was a water down ketchup taco. First and last time eating here. Sadly!!! read more

When you first pull up, it looks sketchy, but the food won't disappoint. I tried their steak quesadilla and enjoyed every bite. I would have loved an agua fresca, but you can't have it all. I'd definitely come again if accompanied by a friend (because of the surrounding area). read more

Got a super carne asada burrito yesterday, it was gross! Nothing was super about it, hardly any meat and it was tough with gristle. The flavor was off! It was on the smaller side and cost $13. Never again, there is soooo much better tacos/burritos in the area. read more

Nevet Ever Ever Again will I give this truck my money,horrible food.I tried this truck 2 years ago and is was not good at all,I tried to give them another chance today and the food still sucks.The Carne Asada Tacos are still not good Yuck,at 2.75 each you get these small nasty tacos that are just not close to being good,the flavor is not good at all I got some Menudo that taste like someone poured a whole container of Accent in it.Like I said never again,go to Oakland in the Fruitvalle district to get better food,way too many better trucks out there rather than waste your money on this garbage.Wish I could give zero stars, read more

Great food truck! Staff was super cool to chat with and the food was great! I got a carne Asada burrito and last time I got tripe tacos. Both were really good. The tripe was super crunchy which is how it should be. Keep it up! read more

3 carnitas tacos and a coke $4. It is soooo good. I buy whatever specialit is for that day. Never disappointed. Been going 20+ years. Now I take my kids and they adore it. It's our spot read more

My favorite taco spot EVER! No other tacos come close, seriously. Maybe it's how oily the tortillas are, I don't know, but these tacos are amazing. I always introduce people to this place, and everyone seems to agree that they are bomb. The chicharron is my go to, but I'll occasionally switch it up and get chorizo. I've tried other things, like tortas and burritos, and they're ok, but what you need to get here is tacos. If you're not picky, make sure to check out their taco of the day; each day of the week they have a different taco for $1. And remember to bring cash! read more

This is a great go-to taco truck! The carnitas, asada and al pastor are all delicious. It's definitely best to go for the $1 taco of the day (a different meat every day of the week; sadly asada is not one of these) as regular prices are $2.50 per taco, which is a bit high but it seems like the going rate nowadays. We went on Sunday and I got the $1 chile verde tacos...really tasty! I love that they have outdoor seating, nice to sit in the sun and enjoy your food. This is just a good old taco truck...nothing fancy just really good tacos! read more

Amazing, amazing tacos and quesadilla!! They only take cash but it's best tacos I've had in Hayward

Best tacos in Hayward hands down ! Their lengua and carne asada are delicious! Especially the asada, little to no gristle or fat... That's my #1 compliment...no gristle or fat on their meat. Other taco trucks or even some RESTAURANTS have fatty meat.... But not here, delicious! INDIO es muy bien! read more

el indio has taken taken over this spot from another vendor. is it any surprise that the prices would be higher? tacos(1.50) burritos(5) supers(6) they have a especial in spanish of a daily taco (1). pork livers, pork somach, cabeza, chile verde, etc. are the flavors. the wednesday one was cabeza (beef head). the cabeza taco was kind of mushy. hope my brain isn't affected likewise. it was also bland. free salsa is available outside the taco truck. service fast. read more

Fatty meat in tacos. They told me that sour cream and cheese and guacamole came in the super burrito but there was none. I also asked for sour cream and cheese on the tacos, got home and no sour cream and cheese on those either. I thought that the hot sauce that I had to ask for would make things taste better but the sauce is disgusting. read more

Fast service, bland food, high prices. It always smells good and I finally stopped by. I should've went to tacos el gordo.

Tacos for $1 and the quality of the tacos are good. I've also had the burrito and quesadilla and it is good as well. Hopefully they can put steak tacos on the $1 menu some day . read more

The worst burrito I've ever had it was nasty af and the cilantro was old...the rice was all hard and bunch of fatty pieces of steak and no flavor read more

Return torta twice because I found hair on it and even the owner white hair if you know him you know he got hair on his ears nose so who knows where is came from disgusting. First time I return it they told me they where going to sing me a song which in Spanish means an offensive lyric of a song super unprofessional. For women they make you feel so uncomfortable and even try to flirt with you after you told them to stop and that they make you feel uncomfortable when staring straight at you and winking with their old raggedy selfs read more

Just to be clear, this is El Indio II, the taco truck. They also have a brick and mortar location on the other side of the freeway but this review is for the Taco Truck. The dollar tacos are awesome! You can't beat them! My favorite is Wednesday--Carnitas. The pickled veg is great on the side. The location is kind of seedy so I tend to take my food home to eat but if you can't wait to eat these juicy and delicious morsels, then go ahead and eat it at the outdoor tables that they have. There is an onning so even if it is raining, you're covered. read more

Very disappointed. Only taco truck I know in Hayward - unlike Oakland that has dozens to choose from. Ate here years ago (6?) and it was great. Don't know if it's a new owner but it was very disappointing. Food was very average ( think of a can of soup - not bad not good- just food) Friend stated, "how do you mess up a vegi taco?" And didn't finish it. Might try again to see if it was a bad day, but I doubt I'll ever go back. read more

Probably the beat taco truck i found in hayward so far there aint to many others but every time i go here the burritos are consistently good as long a i remember to ask for no lettuce WARNING!! Ask for no lettuce!! It doesnt belong in a burrito read more

This spot is my boyfriend and my favorite taco truck! The people working are so nice. If you want tacos definitely go to El Indio II!!

On Oct 2nd decided to stop by to get some tacos with my family before our road trip, and let me tell you not only there Tacos are over price there not good at all, I honestly don't mind paying for tacos, but they better be good. I'm Mexican and I know what a good taco should taste like. Never coming back read more

The prices here are a little on the higher side, especially for a cash only taco truck. But I usually come here for the 99 cent tacos and usually never disappoint. Theyre pretty big too and are loaded with meat. read more

I'm from Oakland and consider myself a connoisseur of Taco Trucks. Most really good ones specialize in at least one treat that makes it stick out. (ie seafood, super burritos, etc) Something only they do right. This place does steak tacos right. Their a bit pricy at $2.00/ea but worth it. Three fill you up. They're made from solid steak meat too so you know you're getting the real thing. They also have a covered area to eat with a nice view of the A Street scene. They offer daily $1.00/ea taco specials with rotating kinds of meat depending on the day. Wednesday is Carnitas day but the meat tends to be a bit on the dry side for me. Stick with the steak tacos and you'll come back for more. Chow! read more

My go to spot for years when I lived on Royal. Its easy, fast, and open late. The food is better than most of the fast food restaurants in the area, and the price is reasonable. They always hook up the steak burrito the way that I like and my kids love the tacos. read more

I did not like the food period.. ordered a carne asada burrito and it had way too many pieces of fat in it.. the flavor was horrible

The old Indio was awesome. The new generation Indio is poo. Raw rice in my burrito ? = crunchy rice burrito was disappointing . Rude ass workers . And doesn't seem as sanitary read more

Worst food I've ever tried!!!! Honestly I ate here years ago and food was decent but omg was I disappointed their meat tastes old and it's super chewy they have the super cheap plates and only give you one so by the time you reach the table the plate is soggy and your food about to fall off from it. And they charge $2 per taco ridiculous too much for such poor quality I would not recommend this place at all!!!! read more

Love their tacos, their salsa and their carrots!! The placement of the truck looks sketchy but the food begs to differ. They have a different taco(meat) for a dollar everyday. Personally I love Fridays buche. They're pretty friendly dudes too. There was an older guy here at some point (maybe the owner?) that was a douche! Charged me for beans on my tacos! But I haven't come across him for a while. Btw we drive all the way from Oakland to get these tacos so you know it's real! :) it's safer than oakland lol read more
