Just moved close by, and figured I give them a shot an order a few asada tacos... just to see how they measure up against some other taco trucks.. that I go to a few more miles down the road. $4/$5 per taco not enough meat, although I did like because they wasn't over salty! Was literally given 1 tiny slice of carrot and 1 tiny peace of pepper on the side lol I would not return this spot isn't worth $25+ for tacos because portion is small and tacos are over priced, as a grown man you would need 4/5 for sure plus a drink read more

My favorite staff, favorite food and convenient location for me. If i could give 20 stars i would read more

This just might be one of my favorite taco trucks. Not that I've been to many, but the two times I've been here were delish and seemed so authentic. Sorry, this Asian girl isn't an expert on Mexican food but for whatever it is worth, I enjoyed the food I've received. And the staff is so nice. Can't wait to come back again for another bite! read more

True taco truck tucked into a busy industrial neighborhood, and even though I've only been twice, it does seem popular with good traffic. There's a few communal tables outside if you don't want to eat in a car. So I've only got tacos here. Their Tortas (sandwiches) seem to also be quite popular here, but since those are usually much too big for me during the lunch hour, I still haven't tried one yet. But in the 2 times I did get tacos here, they were both quite different in style. So I'm assuming depending on which cook you get, you may not get the style you are into, if you are into a particular style, which I am. First time I tried 2 types of tacos. These tacos seemed a bit more basic where the small tortillas were just warmed on a griddle to make them softer and pliable. Second time trying the tacos were griddled with more oil so it had a more pronounced crispness without being brittle. I like this type of tacos much more. Tacos here start at about $3 per and go up with certain items like lengua and tripas. Pretty standard pricing for these days. I used to remember when one could get a 4 taco lunch and a drink for under $10. It was like that for over 20 years of my adult life. Now gotta spend about $20 for lunch. Meats Tried: Carne Asada (3.5*) Pretty basic and standard. Suadero (3*) They use brisket so not OG suadero. It is meaty but could have been cooked to more tender then crisped more on the grill. This just seemed like cubed brisket. Lengua (4*) Pretty proper, no complaints. Tender yet meaty. Definitely needs that salsa to make it pop. Chicharon (2*) I got this once cuz they were out of carnitas. I usually like chicharon whether crisp and fried or re-cooked in a sauce. This was cooked in a sauce which I was looking forward to. But the chicharon pieces were straight fat and I had a hard time with the texture. Usually most chicharon are they type with a bit of meat attached to that skin. Not here. Good thing I only ordered 1 cuz I wouldn't have been able to muscle down 2. I'm sure I'll run into them again, hopefully I can get someone to split a torta with me. read more

Delicious veggie tacos! Plus a nice, friendly owner. Thank you! Will definitely be back.

This place is way over is way overpriced. They charged $13 for a bean and cheese burrito and the food is not even good. How can you mess up a bean and cheese burrito? read more

One of the best in Hayward!!! I have gone to their storefront location on Tennyson Ave which is also awesome but I've always been partial to the truck on Whipple Rd. I get the veggie tacos and the nachos and they taste amazing. The service is impeccable and the ambiance is exactly what you can expect from the taco truck but the Tennyson ave location has a nice interior read more

I come here often, they have pretty good tacos. I always go for the basic Asada, Al pastor, and or Lengua which are all good, sometimes I think the Lengua can use a little more flavor but all in all it's good. My brother ALWAYS gets himself a Hot Cheeto burrito with Asada and it looks very appetizing. If I'm not mistaken they take cash and card so that's always a plus. Also I do believe they cater. read more

Been coming here for years, since the burritos were $5. Times have changed. They're located across the street from target next to the mobile truck depot and Chp office. They pretend not to speak English, over charge and skimp on the food. Use to be the go to place but, just another truck hiring immigrants trying to pass as good cheap good food. I do not recommend going. read more

This was a unplanned stop and glad we choose to do so. I got the super Carnitas Burrito and the meat was perfect. I was picking it out and Eating it on its own. The over all flavor was also great. I was on lunch and did not get to take pictures of truck. I did see you can call ahead which is always nice. I will return when I'm in the area for sure. read more

Came here for Saturday dinner. Located in small parking lot. No tripa. Ran out of cabeza. Ordered lengua super burrito, taco el pastor, chicharron, asada. 18$ total. The super burrito wasn't very super, no sour cream, not much meat, lots of rice and beans. The tacos were alright. Chicharron was pretty spicy, but the rest of the meat weren't very flavorful... read more

I got back home and we were missing 6 tacos out of the 24 we ordered. And when we called to try to give a refund, they can't do it over the phone. "We aren't suppose to do that" Well, you're not suppose to have horrible customer service and you're also not suppose to miss 6 tacos. We ordered $95 dollars worth of food which were 24 tacos and 2 quesadillas. After nicely asking for extra salsas, the cashier, rolled her eyes at me. After purchasing 95$ worth of food and 24 tacos I'm pretty sure it's normal to ask for some extra salsas. After she rolled her eyes at me, I asked firmly but nicely, "did you just roll your eyes at me?" We basically come here once a week and about order $95 dollars worth of food. I called to talk about the interaction and they said they would talk to her, however, after asking for cashiers name.. Brianna hung up on me. I have had good interactions except for this lady who is 98% the cashier. What a sad life you live if you must roll your eyes on a simple request. Pathetic. She consistently has a sorry, sad, hates-her-life attitude and I hope she becomes a much happier person for everyone's sake who has to have an interaction with her. Also, this cashier tells me the TOTAL is $86 but it was charged $95 which is 11%?????? Is she giving herself tips each time because it's always more than what they actually tell you. read more

If there was a way to make this zero stars with an attached review that would be more appropriate. Ordered a super burrito. Was charged for a super burrito. Was given steak, beans (I asked to not have) and rice, No cheese- with a small cup of sour cream. I'm suppose to open up my taco truck burrito and pour on my own sour cream into it? First time here and a huge waste of my money that I work my ass off for. Also their salsa sucked. How the hell are you a taco truck in Hayward and ur salsa and your food sucks this bad. read more

I tried Tacos La Chaparita for the first time and I have to say they are on point. Food was very tasty and authentic, salsa's were good. I tried cabeza, chicharon, asada, al pastor and carnitas. The fried chicken tacos were flautas they were nice and crispy and also very good. This place is a hidden gem. If you like tacos this is a must try. read more

This truck is good and consistent, the carne asada and al pastor are my favorites. If I'm not feeling tacos or a burrito, the torta Oaxaqueño is a great alternative. Service is standard...it's a taco truck. Gets busy at lunch but you can call ahead. Cash only. read more

There are two types of people in this world and they both like tacos! I'm super thankful that Hayward's Tacos La Chaparrita taco truck decided to stay open for bidness during shelter-in-place. Sometimes Taco Bell just doesn't do it for me. I only say sometimes because I love me some TB, but there are times when a woman wants something a few notches above bootleg. The tripas tacos from here were good. We also ordered carne asada and birria tacos, but those were just okay. The salsa wasn't show-stopping, but it wasn't bad either. Overall, a solid pitstop for tacos in the area. Thanks for continuing to satisfy the cravings, Tacos La Chaparrita! #ThankYouThursday read more

Really good big portion of meat great flavor fast service i will be back good chilli friendly people awesome taco spot

Their new restaurant on Tennyson Rd is just as delicious as the truck. Had asada tacos and a milanesa torta. We have also had buche and cabeza tacos from the truck. The restaurant is super cute inside. I only wish they would dilute their fabuloso cleaning solution before they clean. (Or whatever they clean with, I smelled fabuloso) While I love the clean smell, it was a very strong smell that made me want to leave. I will definitely return and hopefully the smell is gone so we can eat there. read more

Literally EVERYTHING I've ever ordered there was superb!! The best truck in the East Bay!

The food is good here depending on the cook as guess some days I love it some other times the food is not well made ‍ weird right.? Sometimes they're charging extra for the salsa, some other they will just ask how many more. read more

3-years later and this place is still my jam. They have a new truck, same staff, same goodness. Their prices have gone up slightly, but now they accept credit cards, so that's a huge plus (forgot to bring cash). I can't so more that hasn't been said already. The bay is expensive and Mexican food is always hit or miss. This place never misses the mark and is still very cheap. I traveled down to see a friend and this was the first place I visited, just that good. read more

The food is good but they put raw onions on EVERYTHING. I like sauteed or cooked onions but I hate raw onions. My job gets tacos from here about once a week so I've only learned what has onions on it by trial and error. All tacos come with raw onions. The guacamole has raw onions mixed into it. I ordered the super nachos today and the description did not list onions so I ordered no guacamole because I know that has onions. Guess what the nachos came with. A buttload of raw onions. I just think if the description doesn't list onions, they shouldn't be on it. The worst part is that they put onions on before the sour cream so there were a few bites where I about died because of the onion sneak attack. Otherwise the food is really good. The al pastor is my favorite. Just make sure to ask no onion even when you think the order won't have onions read more

Just small burrito trailer is located right across from city sports off of Whipple. I decided to try it after a workout few days ago. I ordered a super chicken burrito. The size is decent, taste is solid. It was moist I had asked for no beans but they added it. I didn't bother to ask them to re do it... you don't get any chips and salsa though... burrito was $6 and $1 for a can of Coke. Pretty reasonable. If I was near by I might try their tacos but it's not worth driving here just to eat. 3.5/5 but I voted it 4 stars. read more

Found a place for an affordable lunch in the Union City Area. $2.00 tacos each, .75 Cents for beans, .75 Cents for rice. The salsa and avocado was also .75 Cents each. The pickled vegetables was added for free. Had it delivered from Door Dash. Everything is fresh, tasty, and delicious. Not to mention not greasy at all very healthy for you. Try the rice it's perfectly seasoned and fluffy. The meat is not overly salty it's just right. This place is lit A/F and it's off the hook. read more

This is the best Mexican food truck I've ever eaten at. Even though they're always pretty busy and a line forms sometimes, they prepare your food fast!

I love burritos and they do them right! read more

This taco truck is clean, unfussy and the service is friendly. The torta la Chaparrita is big - filled with avocado, spicy chorizo, ham, queso, and a pineapple ring. A combination of sweet and spicy that is surprisingly good. My boyfriend's $2 tacos were also good. Everything was pretty fresh and I liked their salsa as well. They have a tent and tables set up by the truck for a quick meal read more
