Tacos Gonzalez shares a parking lot with Tommy's Donuts. Didn't see food truck on initial drive by. Saw canopy tent with "Taco Tuesday" signage. Food truck actually parked behind canopy. Only truck had decor. Plenty of parking in back. Didn't open till 3. 1 hour late. Music via boombox. Menu posted on side of truck. No pricing. "Authentico Sabor Casero" written on food truck=authentic homemade. Offerings (estilo Tijuana/Tijuana style): desayunos (breakfast), tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas, platillos, nachos, mulitas, guarache, bampiro, Aqua Fresca. Sips: Guava (L. 6?) -refreshing with no ice overload. Tastes naturally made. Not a lot of sugar. Bites: suadero (brisket), lengua (tongue), pastor tacos (12.50?) paid 18.50 total -tortillas house made. Not the usual. Thick & grilled. Garnishes of guac, grilled onions, lime squeeze, jalepenos, radishes, cucumbers. -self serve salsas. Proteins skimpy, tasty. -lengua melt in month juicy. -grilled pastor had slight smokiness, accompanied with cucumber morsels. -brisket melty & juicy as well. 4ish stars semi worthy quality: very good. quantity: skimpy Note: Taco Tuesday (2)
With taco trucks all around the East Bay, it's always hard for me to decide on which one to check out -- Tacos Gonzales hit and was exactly what I needed. Space is in an empty parking lot with lots of parking and street parking. There's a space to eat and a mini sauce bar to take from with 3 different salsas. Service is quick and friendly. The food was really good!!! The al pastor here is chunkier than what I'm used to but it was really tender, tasty, and had nice fattiness to it. I also tried the lengua and their carne asada. I really enjoyed the lengua and the carne asada was good but not as good as the other two! They serve their tacos with radish, pickled carrots, and lime. You have to get sauce from their sauce bar. They don't put any sort of guac or sauce on it ahead of time - at least from the ones I had. All good though - the flavor of their meat was what I'll be coming back for for sure. Excited to come back here and try a torta!
Order: 1 Super Burrito (half carne asada, half lengua, with everything) 1 Large Agua Fresca (half pineapple, half guava) 3 Carne Asada Burritos (with everything) 1 Birria Ramen 1 Horchata Total: $58.14 (tax included) Location: Right on Foothill Blvd inside the Tommy Donut parking lot. There's easy access with plenty of parking available both in the lot and on the street. Ambiance & Service: Outdoor seating is available within the tent space. The ambiance is fine for casual dining. Service was great--shoutout to the young man who took my order; he was super friendly and welcoming. Heads-up: there are no prices listed on the truck, so it's best to ask before ordering. Food Review: Carne Asada Tacos: Loved them! The meat was tender and had no fat. The handmade corn tortillas were a huge plus. Salsas had just the right spice--flavorful without being too hot. I do wish they included pearl onions and nopales. My to-go order only had a grilled Serrano pepper. Birria Ramen: This one fell short for me. It lacked flavor and tasted watered down. There were no real chunks of birria, just small stringy pieces mixed in with lots of cheese. I'd rate it 5/10. I'd like to try it again, but not as a to-go order. Agua Frescas: Very sweet but good! They offer horchata, guava, pineapple, hibiscus, and tamarindo. Salsas: Three self-serve options--two red and one green. Super Burrito: My husband gave it a solid 9.5/10. He loved the tender meats and flavorful mix. Overall: I would definitely recommend this place. It's convenient, delicious, and worth checking out.
This place is hella good! Some of the best Mexican food in the area. Loved the flavors of the meat, especially the al pastor. We got two super burritos, al pastor and carne asada. Total came out a little over $30, which is expected for the bay area. The customer service could be worked on and the amount of salsa they give you is so little. The worker looked like she was annoyed at me the entire time, I had to force a smile to soften the situation. It honestly was uncomfortable. They give you tiny plastic cups that fits probably only 1 tablespoon amount, not even the sauce cups. Therefore, it's best if you eat there so you can get enough salsas for your food. The burritos were massive and came with tons of meat. They were so filling, I ate only half of the burrito and was full. The burrito was heavenly with the sauces, just wished they gave us more. I had to use other hot sauces at home to finish the meal. They do have a taco special on Tuesdays for about $2. The parking is plenty, lots of parking in the lot area.
These tacos are by far the best I've had in Hayward! They have a dine in area and also the option of calling in your order for takeout . I like how their tacos are made with hand made tortillas ! It's my 4x coming here and they never disappoint, my go to are always the Al pastor and asada they're hella good. I also like their honey dew agua fresca.
Some of the best tasting tacos in Hayward. Good selection of meats and aqua frescas. Workers are friendly and efficient.
So far the Best tacos in Hayward! The family and I have been here 4 times already and these are by far the best tacos in the area. The menu doesn't have prices listed so you can ask when ordering at the window. I love the pastor tacos here they're the best ones I've had around. The tortillas a mano definitely make the tacos more delicious. They also have aguas frescas, so far I've tried the tamarindo, jamaica and melon and they are very tasty and definitely not the powder mix you find elsewhere. Definitely a must try!
I pass this food truck daily on my way back from work, finally tried it and it did not disappoint! Handmade tortillas for the huaraches and their mulitas, plus they grill their carne asada over coals! If you are in the area, make sure to stop by, everything here is delicious and the customer service goes above and beyond. Fresh salsas and fresh aguas frescas too, trust me it was an amazing find and I'll be recommending it to everyone looking for a new taco spot in Hayward! You can dine on site at one of their tables, or you can take your food to go!
Burrito was good but the salsa def enhanced it. The pastor texture was great but had no flavor . Nice slices of meat but again couldn't taste it. Employees were extremely nice and there were tables available. Huge plus is they also accept card.
Delicious food held back by frustrating service Pros: Amazing Tijuana style tacos only on Thursday-Sunday. on these days there's an extra charcoal grill cooking thin cuts of steak. The tortillas are homemade and are light and airy. Wish the guacamole was a real guac and not a salsa hybrid though. Went on taco Tuesday, and they were regular tacos, meat quality wasn't as good as the Tijuana style and tortillas were store bought, crisped up slightly. Still very good and unbeatable at $2. There is also no condiment bar when I went on Tuesday. Also tried the asada fries and they are the best in Hayward! Cons: I have no idea what anything costs, they don't list out any prices. There is a credit card surcharge which they don't disclose and I don't know how much it is, maybe a dollar? the hours listed on Yelp, google, and even their ig is wrong. We went at 2 but they said they weren't open until 3. Food can take a while especially with a line and it can get pretty cramped, also difficult to get salsa as you have to ladel it into these super tiny solo cups. A dispenser would be so much easier.
My wife and I tried this place for the first time and we were not disappointed I tried the Super Burrito with asada and the ratio of ingredients was perfect. My wife got the Birria Ramen and it too was . Super favorful and the "to go" packaging was a nice touch. We also grabbed a Torta for my son and I'm sure it'll be great when he gets home. The meat that was in our food was delicious with little to no chunks of fat. They offer a lot of protein choices so be prepared to be overwhelmed. Oh, and the green salsa is some of the best I've had. We can't wait to try more items. Super friendly staff. FYI, They do cash and cash apps like Venmo and Zelle but no debit/credit cards.
Finally got to try this spot. The tacos were good my husband and I had al pastor, lengua and suadero. The al pastor comes Tijuana style my favorite. The hand made tortilla was perfect thickness to where our taco didn't break which was a plus. They have all the toppings available for you to grab and big dj speaker with the cumbias so the wait was nice as you listen and dance a bit lol They have a variety of other things such as flautas, sopes, huaraches etc maybe I'll try one next time

English and Spanish review. Alerta por danos a la salud.!!! Encontre dos pelos uno Rojo y el otro Cafe. El pelo Rojo aprecio en mi orden de tacos. Y el otro pelo aparecio en mi orden de quesadilla. Mientras mi novia se comia la chimichanga yo abri la orden de quesadilla y mientras comia le encontre un pelo que no era mio. Se lo removi despistadamente para que mi novia no se diera cuenta y que no le diera asco. Pero all continuar con su orden de tacos a Ella le aparecio un pelo bien Rojo que nadie en carro tiene pelo Rojo. Aparte el processo de elaboracion de nuestra comida se notava demasiado que prepararon la comida sin ganas y sin cuidado de la salud del cliente. Como todo Mexicano y respetuoso cerramos la orden de tacos y la orden de quesadilla y procedi a pedirle una devolucion de dinnero por las dos ordenes de comida Con respcto. Al pedirle la devolucion dinnero a la senora que me attendio y me dio la orden no se nego pero trato de negar que Ella no encontro un pelo en nuestra comida. El pelo de Ella es Rojo como el pelo que nos aparecio en la orden de tacos como diciendo que estava levantando falsos. Yo nunca tengo ese tipo de intenciones de hoder a la raza. All final me regreso el dinnero de la orden de tacos y la orden de quesadilla . Y todavia sus ultimas palabras eran que Ella no encontro un pelo en nuestra orden Cuando claramente era lo contrario. Estoy seguro que habia mas pelos en la comida porque me alcanse a comer la mitad de la quesadilla cuando descubri el primer pelo . Una hora despues me dio chorro del que te da por comerte un pelo algo que nunca me pasa. Esto que digo no es falso ni lo hago con proposito de danar la reputacion de un negocio. Yo jamas regresare a este lugar. Hay muchos otros negocios honestos con intenciones y servicio honesty. Ojo y cuidado all cenar en este lugar. . . . . Health alert Me and my girlfriend ordered tacos,chimichanga, and a quesadilla. When I finished half my quesadilla the other half had a hair clearly not mine,while my girlfriend was working on her chimichanga I slipped the hair away so she wouldn't be disgusted. But when she opened the order of tacos we discovered a red hair like the red hair on the lady that took and prepared our order. With all due respect we closed both orders and processed to ask for a refund. When I asked the lady with the red hair for a refund because there was a hair in both orders,she took both orders and than claimed there wasn't any hair on the food until I showed her pictures she proceeded to refund me for both orders. But she still claimed that she didn't find any red hair to imply that I was lying. We have proof in the pictures and my intentions are not to trash an honest business. But if she is willing to go into denial while refunding me my money it seems like she did this on purpose for us to not come back. An hour later I got the runns like if a had ingested a hair. The food is very good but the intentions and service from this establishment make me feel like the maybe im not welcome. Personally I won't be back because there far more taco spots 10× better with service, elaboration process,and care for the health of the client. Im not making any of this up to tarnish a business im only being honest. read more

Visited on a Friday evening around 6pm with a friend, taco truck had maybe 5-8 other guests but not too busy, was able to place our order pretty quickly. 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. read more

I went to this taco truck located in Hayward and ordered 3 tacos and a steak burrito. The taco meat was burnt and not fresh and the burrito had burnt steak meat inside the burrito. It was so terrible I throw my food away from this spot. I may try again, but it was a bad experience eating from this spot! read more

Been here twice so far and they did not disappoint! Taco Tuesday $2 but only regular tacos no Tijuana style on taco tuesdays. The second time I came I ordered Tijuana style tacos which was amazing and lengua tacos that literally melts in your mouth it's so tender. I never I had lengua that's so tender like that. The tortilla are made fresh. thick and grilled and their meats are so flavorful and char. Highly recommend the pastor and lengua! Service was fast and quick. Horchata is a must! Found my new go to for tacos! Outdoor canopy for seating/dining and plenty of parking. read more

I would give this place full stars but they started getting real cheap with the radishes and peppers. Doesn't matter how many tacos I order they always give me ONE slice piece of radish. When I say I'll pay for more they give me 2 more slices...maybe I am use to when taco trucks would give you a bag of pickled radishes and peppers but at least give a slice per taco. And when you ask for more there is always attitude. read more

THESE ARE THE BEST TACOS IN HAYWARD - I can't find a place in the nearby area of CV-Hayward-Union City that comes close to Tacos Gonzalez's quality. My boyfriend and I love coming here because the service is solid, the food (tacos and burritos alike) is delicious, and the aguas frescas stay refreshing. The truck is posted up in a lot next to a bakery about half the week, surrounded by some tents and tables for on site dining. The have staff outside the truck who work on roasting peppers and help out customers with serving the various types of aguas frescas. The carne asada and al pastor tacos here don't miss (there has been times where we order a second round just because it does the job well!) I recently tried an al pastor super burrito here and was impressed that the portion was a perfect size, that they threw in pineapples in it, and also that it didn't leave that heavy greasy feeling most burritos do (I didn't have a food coma after but I did have a flavorful, well seasoned meal!). If you're ever in the area looking for Mexican food, find this truck and try all the goods! read more
