    La chaparrita
    Maria S.

    This place was cute and clean. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the burrito I ordered could have had less beans and more meat. But as far as flavor it was good. The tacos were good. Our food came out quick.

    Ready for a great meal... we picked burritos; carne asada $14.99  is a good choice too.

    A Family owned place, very clean and welcoming. They also have a food truck, so they are already experts at working together quickly as a team. Lots of choices, we each had burritos- me a Supremo, hubby a Californian. The beef was steak, well seasoned and a good portion with beans , sour cream, cheese, rice , sauce, salsa. Hubby had added Guacamole and onions, Came with fresh thin hot tortilla chips, pickled veggies- salad with radishes, peppers, cauliflower, a nice addition. Enjoyed the festive colorful eat-in dining area, pretty tablecloth -table for 4. Lots of room, space in between tables made our meal relaxing and enjoyable. Enjoyed Mexican Coke and Fritos- the meal was served quickly. Great service too. Easy parking- lot to the side. Easy to get to freeway. Clean bathrooms. Thanks for a good lunch. We'll be back.

    Came on a Sunday and their menudo was so good with the fresh tortillas and their super tacos were so good. I asked if they could make the tortilla crunchy for the taco and was so good for the price. I definitely recommend

    Do yourself a favor and order some food from this place! Food it's incredibly delicious. I'm a taco lover and I can tell you this restaurant will be on my favorite list when it comes to tacos. Also they have the hot Cheeto burrito and it was amazing, super cheesy !! Decoration of the place 10/10. Service 10/10

    Not bad at all! Our first time ordering from Grub Hub. The food arrived hot and fresh as it was made and was not cold in any way. They do give you lots to eat. My burrito looked bigger than most places that served up Super Burritos. Did not take that long to arrive. But glad we tried out something different for a change. If we are ever in the area we may consider trying this out. Note - I noticed in the app, it had a number 2 next to the business. I am not sure if this signifies it's a food truck or something or if it's another branch of the business. Nonetheless we're happy we tried and liked! $33.00 for Sopes, Burrito and a Soda before tip and delivery.

    One of the few places to get good Mexican food, including faves like a burrito bowl (that's not from Chipotle) and a hot cheeto burrito. There's plenty of vegetarian options, as well. I've only been here twice after phoning in an order for take out and have been extremely happy both times! The hot cheeto burrito is out of this world! Will definitely come back for a true dining experience to enjoy the cute and authentic décor and try the tacos.

    Spec-taco-lar food! Hayward is very lucky to have a more formal location for this awesome Mexican food spot. I believe La Chaparrita had a food truck for several years with a strong following in Hayward; but, they now have a brick and mortar location here at 44 W. Tennyson. Take that as a great sign their food is tasty. So far I've tried their tacos, burrito bowl, and quesadillas. I have been extremely impressed with the freshness and taste of the food here compared to other Mexican restaurants (especially the chain spots like Chipotle). The tacos were so tasty I barely blinked a few times before they were gone; the quesadilla impressed me with the quality and taste of the meat (I ordered carne asada). Not to mention, the portions were more than adequate for leftovers. 400% I am going back to try their other options such as the hot Cheeto burrito. Did I mention they're also affordable and available through ubereats and other apps?

    Torta la Chaparrita
    Ariana H.

    The food was on point. My husband got the super burrito that he loved. Had some crunch to it and it was THICK. I got the Torta la CHAPARRITA that had so much meat and great seasoning. Honestly can't wait to go back and try their other items. It was an authentic Mexican food experience. Loved it.

    Hot Cheeto Burrito

    Finally got the chance to try this place out, and it was pretty good! I've been looking for a hot Cheetos burrito, and this one hit the spot. We ordered two burritos one hot Cheetos with Asada the other super burrito(my partner enjoyed this) with asada as well. The beef was a bit chewy but only in a few spots, so the texture was really the only issue I had. Flavor was great, service was good, the food was walked out to our table, overall pretty chill place with decent eats. Check it out if you need a quick heavy lunch. 4/5

    Beautiful layout

    To start this review off I just want to say that when it comes to Mexican food specifically I am very picky, i've lived in Hayward for years and so many people till this day will recommend Senaida's, which is right down the street but I really believe that people only go there because it's drive-thru and convenient. I say that because I've been there three different times and got three different dishes and I've never been impressed by their food, I decided to try this place and oh my gosh I've found my Oasis! This is what I've been looking for, One of the meat was greasy and the beans are made just the way my Nana makes them! The inside of the restaurant is clean and has an open floorplan, I ordered a carne asada sope and taco al pastor with rice and beans, next I'll try the hot Cheetos burrito! Maybe today! Great job! I'll be a regular for sure!

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.

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.
