Shako's Tacos.

First Timer. A+.We came back for 2nds. Lol. On the side note, we haven't had proper lunch and dinner. We got carne asada. Love how their carne's are not too marinated salty. It was delish. I'll take a pic next time. Update: Went back. Here is what it looks likes. For Me, I don't like the beans though. -_- For some reason, it tasted better when I first tried it. Lol. Prolli depends on how it was made or whomever cooked it. Or whateva.. Peace.

Their truck was at a local event in Sunnyvale and between this and a $22 personal pizza, we went…read morewith this truck. So many options to choose from, but we decided on a banh mi, a chicken and rice plate, pot stickers and eggrolls. The sandwich was delicious! So much flavor and perfect size. The plate was good as well, but I think the eggrolls were my favorite, which I'm a sucker for. I felt eveything was proved fair and although the riders took a little longer than expected to come out, the line was also very long and alot of people were waiting, so being busy, I understand. If they're in the area again, I will for sure be back.

I was working from his room to stay busy but after 3PM, I was getting antsy. After Gavin was out of the recovery room and back to his room, it was after 5PM, so I went downstairs to get something to eat. I ordered a banh mi chay, an order of mozzarella cheese sticks, and a bag of shrimp chips. I didn't wait long for my order and was glad that they accept cards. I was able to stay on top of my religious dietary needs and enjoy my meal despite everything Gavin and I were going through. + friendly service' + The banh mi was delicious, the baguette was crunchy, filling savory + the mozzarella cheese sticks were very good and comforting, too An unfortunate way to enjoy a meal, but I appreciated it.

I FOUND THE ONE!!!…read more I found the Filipino restaurant I'll keep coming back to and probably eat at almost every week! They have all the food I've been craving -- from ihaw-ihaw, silog, empanadas, and siomai to something I've REALLY been missing from back home: *Filipino-style shawarma wraps!!! Like, WHAT THE HECK?! How is it SO GOOD and SO CLOSE to the taste I've known and loved back home?! I've tried a couple of places and people selling Filipino-style shawarma, but THIS ONE HITS HOME. I came early today, 10 minutes before they even opened. They still took my order, and I patiently waited outside. And let me tell you, I DID NOT REGRET A SINGLE SECOND OF WAITING because IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!! It was so good that I literally had to ask my partner if he'd let me have the rest of his because I WANTED MORE. HAHAHAHA! Huhu, thank you for bringing a little taste of home here. You have no idea how happy this made me! You'll definitely be seeing me there often from now on!Consider me a regular. HAHAHA!

First time trying EMS Kusina in Hayward and honestly... SO GOOD…read more I've been going to them since they had their food trucks, so I'm really happy they finally have a restaurant nearby! I got their chicken inasal and it did NOT disappoint. I also tried the kwek-kwek, and omg so good! The sauce is seriously TOP TIER. It really gave me that feeling like I was back in the Philippines eating street food and they also have their cantaloupe juice, REALLY GOOD! I also know their iskrambol is really good, so I definitely want to try that again next time I go! If you're craving Filipino food, you NEED to try this place. Definitely worth checking out, and I'm so happy they're in Hayward now!

You would expect a punch for flavor from birria. The consome was good on its own but once you dip the ball, all the flavor was gone. The Cheetos also didn't have any flavor, so it just seemed like a cheese balled dyed red. The pork sisig from the Filipino truck was also disappointing. The rush was over cooked and mushy.

It was pretty calm during the day and didn't seem to get a crazy amount of foot traffic, which I actually enjoyed because we were able to sit down, relax, eat, and enjoy the atmosphere without it feeling crowded. Between our food and drinks we spent around $46, so I would say it's moderately pricey, but everything we had was good. I had a birria taco from Mi Lindo Apatzingán, my husband got four tacos, and we also got rice and beans that we really enjoyed. Our food came out pretty quickly, definitely in less than 10 minutes. We also got sour apple drinks from Las Cherry's. The drinks took a little longer, over 10 minutes, but there was only one girl working at the time, so it was completely understandable. The drinks were refreshing and I definitely want to come back and try more of what Las Cherry's has to offer. I really like the whole concept here because there are so many different food trucks in one place. There's plenty of covered outdoor seating, TVs to watch while you eat, and colorful decorations that make it a fun but still calm and chill place to hang out. Even with some of the trucks being closed, there were still plenty of options. I would definitely come back, especially to try more from Las Cherry's and the potato food truck that caught my eye!

Shrimp'n Ain't Eazy - Vampiro Taco

I was excited to see Shrimp'n Ain't Easy back for Gordon Biersch Night Markets for Summer 2026…read more Their Chop Cheese and Cheesesteak are still my favorite menu items, with juicy shrimp and crispy meat in each bite. Sometimes they provide green tomatillo sauce on top of the traditional orange sauce, which is great for cutting through the grease and cheese as it's tangy and sweet. We tried the Magnolia Chop for the first time and while this was great too, the hot link makes everything slightly saltier than I'm used to and is much more heavy and filling. I'll stick with the cheesesteak or chop cheese next time but will try more of their menu items going forward. Food arrives quickly even during the crowds and long lines at the night market. I've never waited more than 35 minutes combined for both the line to order and being called for our number to pick up our food.

Really insanely tasty and decadent seafood tacos, hard to believe it's from a food truck…read more I just tried their Crab Taco and it's my favorite item now. Very generous with the crab and huge succulent shrimp. Super cheesy too. I'm actually glad it's not also vampiro style. Whatever you order, be ready for the cheese, because they are super loaded, and luckily I love both cheese and seafood. For the quality and generosity you get, these are well worth the price (Crab - $10, Vampiro - $8), and I was quite full after these two. Very fast service too, even during busy afternoons.

Their prices for food are very fair and reasonable compared to other places. I ordered the Carne Asada Supreme Burrito and that thing was HUGE. You can tell all of the ingredients were fresh and the taste did not disappoint one bit. I'm hoping I can try out the other items on the menu and see how the tacos and quesadillas are. In terms of location, it's not in the most visible area since it's in the empty parking lot across from Olive Garden. So you really need to be driving by close to see that there's a food truck nestled over there. I'm sure if this was in a high traffic space, more people would be coming here.

Frozen churros should be arrested for false impersonation. I was going to stop by Cardenas Markets to get Tres Estrellas Churro mix which is like bisquick for churros and make some at home. I highly recommend this mix and it even comes with a piping bag but you should have some experience of making choux pastry dough since the directions (for me anyways) have always been wrong. However, since I'm planning on baking lots of cookies tomorrow I decided to jump on Yelp Bay Area to find a nearby churro vendor. We could've gone down to Our Lady of Guadalupe Church or Christmas in the Park where there is one good churro stand down by Quetzalcoatl. Again, the other stands have those fake frozen impersonators but since I didn't want to search for parking I decided to go with the Yelp recommendation of Churros El Guero in front of Fresco Market next to Eastridge. This is also a very busy spot but we were able to score a parking spot right away. Unfortunately, the churro guy had just arrived and his oil was still heating up so we were patiently people watching. This is when we noticed lots of people going over to this haphazard outdoor dining spot. This was not the ideal spot to visit since the weather forecast has been falsely taunting us with rain all day. Since it was now noon we decided it was best to eat real food before munching on something sweet. I had never been to Elma's Taqueria which is connected to Fresco Market probably because I don't like that market. I went in once when they first opened and it stunk. Literally and figuratively. Nope, I'll pass. The line for Elma's was impressive so we strolled up to the outdoor window and looked up at the menu. It's basically Birria everything. Birria de Res (beef) and Birria de Chivo (goat) in a bowl, tacos, quesadilla, quesabirrias, etc...and daily specials including Menudo today. Since it was packed we shared a table with a gentleman from Michoacan while waiting for our order who said this is the best birria anywhere. He said even in Michoacan this is would be the best birria. High praise indeed. My verdict. It was good. Well seasoned, juicy and generous portions. I could only eat one taco so we packed up the rest to bring home and walked back over to the churro stand. Remember the churros? I did. In fact I remembered hiring El Guero to do some events for me in the past where he brings his pot of oil and makes fresh churros on the spot. Then you can have him fill it with chocolate, strawberry, caramel or other fillings. $3 each or 4 for $10. We opted for 2 originals, 1 chocolate and 1 strawberry. We gave him the cash, brought them home and plopped down to enjoy our fresh churros and we were happy. End of story.
