The sauce has its own unique flavor and the burrito itself is huge. I finished mine but was completely full after. My wife enjoyed the tacos and usually one or two is more than enough for her. This is an updated review and this place continues to be solid. The staff is hardworking and friendly! Dining in is just as good.

Came in for a Wednesday dinner and it wasn't too busy, which made for a relaxed experience. Service…read morewas prompt and attentive throughout, and there seemed to be plenty of staff on hand. 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.

My husband passes by this restaurant all the time and had been wanting to try it for a while, so we…read morefinally gave it a shot this morning. When we walked in, there was only one person handling everything--taking orders, working the register, and serving food. At first, we thought it was a semi self-service setup, so we ordered at the counter and then found a seat. My husband ordered the steak breakfast, but the steak was unbelievably thin. I got the super burrito, which was not "super" at all--the portion was smaller compared to other Mexican places, and the flavor was pretty bland. We spent about $46 in total, including tax and tip. At least we got to try a place my husband had been curious about, but unfortunately, it's not somewhere we'd come back to.

A friend recommended this to me and I finally drove out to give it a try. I was greeted as soon as…read moreI walked in and was seated right away. Everything on the menu sounded so good and had to go with the shrimp ceviche and carne asada plate. While I waited for my order, I had fresh salsa and fresh chips. I could not stop eating the chips and had to keep on ordering more. The ceviche was super good and the carne asada was super tender. The rice and beans had the right amount of flavor and the jalapeño had the right kick. The server was really friendly and gave great recommendations on drinks. The restaurant had good lighting, noise level wasn't too loud, and the vibe was pretty chill. Plenty of parking and easy to get to. I drove across the bridge to try this place out and I would do it again! I highly recommend The Mexican Restaurant and Bar if you're craving super tasty food and great drinks with a group of friends or a date night.

CUSTOMERS BEWARE Sat at the bar and had lunch and drinks. I…read moreasked to upgrade my tequila. Not an exotic one. When I got my bill, I was charged an extra $40 each for my two drinks! This was on top of the regular price with the regular tequila. The bartender explained that there was nothing they could do. So I asked for the Manager about the $80 extra charge. Her name was Katalina. I told her that I was not made aware of the told of the extra price. She calmly explained that it is The Mexican's policy to not disclose the price of upgrades. She refused to make an adjustment. Won't be back. Simple as that.

Browsed through a bunch of Reddit posts, stating this was the best taqueria in Hayward…read more FYI, It was soooo hard finding this location with Google Maps and not being a Hayward local. We went in circles... the turns are short. ***does not allow outside food or drink inside (unless it's for health reasons)*** FOOD: Ordered 5 tacos at $3.95 per taco, no matter what the meat is. Lots of meat. Lots of onions and cilantro. Lots of lime slices provided. Radishes provided...wished there was more. Surprised there wasn't any jalapeños provided. Ordering takeout, they immediately provided all types of salsas without asking. SERVICE: Takeout orders didn't have much service. Directly handed the bag of food. VIBEZ: Mainly males and construction workers. Casual. Fast dining. Standard taqueria vibes. Located on their own grounds with parking in the rear (may be a tight squeeze and complicated especially during peak times). Would I come back? I want to try their burrito. :)

Anyway, I came here randomly for lunch because I really liked the one in Dublin. I ordered a quesadilla and 2 tacos with a drink. Honestly it was kinda steep, but that's just how the economy is now. The salsa bar was stocked and it was hella good. The service was nice and everyone greeted each customer so it was good. It was crowded when I went, but there was plenty of seating for everyone. Will come here again if I'm in the area.

Pretty sure I came here in my pre-Yelp days. Lots of parking in lot. Seating in adjacent room provides lot of seating. Ordered at counter, paid, food came my chosen table in 5ish minutes. Quick, Courteous, Efficient service. Self-service drinks, salsa bar & fried tortillas bar. Fried tortillas too thick & too fried for my taste. Offerings (Mexican): tacos, burritos, specials, nachos, drinks, quesadillas.. Salsa bar had jalapeno slices, salsa, radish slices, lime squeeze, mix veggie salsa (quite spicy), carrots. Bites: cabeza & lengua soft tacos (@4.55) -soft tacos probably house made, 4" in diameter, full size tacos? Filled to brim with moist juicy pieces of Cabeza, lengua, grilled onions, cilantro... 4.5 stars worthy! Quantity: reasonable Quality: fresh ingredients. Great salsa bar. Lots of seating. Food scoop ready.

Prefer the Al pastor over the carne asada but both were good. Also had their mango passionfruit agua Fresca - was refreshing on a hot day, lean more mango. Was easy to find seating and parking - went there closer to opening time

Came around 7pm, ordered pretty fast, food itself took maybe 45 mins, but I mean they had a LINE of people there. AND everything is sooo fresh. They cook and prepare everything in front of you. From the meat, to the smoked peppers, etc. You can also get your own cilantro, pineapple salsa, hot sauce, onions, etc at the little condiment bar. I got the Taco Yaqui , my cousin got the Chorreanda. the Taco Yaqui was FIREEEEE. Every single bite was so yummy and juicy and flavorful~ You gotta try it at least once. I would sooo go back I just gotta be prepared for the wait now esp since its outside hehe. BUT the workers and service was so great they provided us chairs while waiting. Super recommend!!

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. Definitely will be back.

A friend recommended this restaurant…read more We arrived at 11:30am on a Wednesday and were seating immediately. Our party of 3 ordered a Charcuterie Board and Ceviche Trio to share. For our entrees, we ordered the Argentinian Skirt Steak accompanied with Frites, Sautéed Greens, Fries and Chimichurri Sauce -- and the Mezcal Glazed King Salmon with Cashew Relish, Purple Potato Puree (so interesting!), Shaved Brussels Sprouts, and Chipotle Butter Sauce. Food was fantastic -- straight to the point and with boldness from the Latin influence. The ambiance aims for a higher end dining experience, and there is a full bar with additional seating. Must be a local favorite for Happy Hour and dinner. Jonathan was our server -- shout out to him for his efficiency, attentiveness, and professionalism. He responded at every interaction with enthusiasm and a smile. Would definitely return.

I started with a margarita and it was delicious. I would highly recommend the fried calamari and the Del Toro salad with medium well steak was so flavorful and the steak was grilled perfectly. While the starters were wonderful, the main dishes, Mary's chicken and boneless short ribs were tender, juicy and flavorful. If you're in the area, you've got to stop by. So worth it.
