    One of the best trucks in Hayward. Welcoming and friendly staff. This was our first time stopping…read moreby and we did not regret it! The carne asada tacos and carne asada torta were hella good. The carne was grilled to perfection and flavorful. They have a seating area that is covered so we decided to sit and eat while everything was hot and fresh. It's located on the side of a busy street, but there is plenty of parking on the side of the road across from the truck and the auto shop. We will def be coming back to try other items on the menu or whenever we are craving quality authentic tacos

    I was excited to try this spot given the high reviews. Maybe we came at an off day but the items we…read moreordered fell short on our expectations. The workers were super friendly and gave recommendations. I got the carnitas plate which came with rice/beans, a couple tacos, and a burrito (believe it was carne asada). The carnitas were almost dry, and lacked flavor. The beans on the plate tasted watered down, and the rice also fell flat. I was pretty disappointed in my $20 plate. The carne asada and al pastor on the tacos also lacked flavor, and I left feeling disappointed. The burrito was also OK, out of everything we ordered it was the only decent item. I wanted to like this spot but the flavors and taste were not there for us. Given several taco spots around the area, we probably have to pass on this one next time.

    Best BBQ in the Bay Area hands down. The flavors a great and not overwhelming. You get great…read moresouthern hospitality here.

    What a gem of a restaurant!…read more We were looking for some bbq on a Sunday funday and were so glad we stopped by. It's in the grocery outlet plaza. Order at the counter and sit and enjoy kind of place. It's decorated simply with a tv that was playing ufc and we were welcomed by Tim who was so warm and hilarious our entire visit. First thing I noticed was how fairly priced the place is. 1lb of brisket is 30 dollars, potato salad is 5 dollars and soda is 2 dollars (some places charge like 4 bucks for a can!) Ordered, sat down and enjoyed some convo with the order and our food came out in about 10min. If there's one thing to get, it's the brisket fries!! Oh my word, the sauce and cheese all go so well with the bbq. I like how their sauce has a kick to it and isn't overly sweet. The brisket was really tender and smoked well. I personally enjoy fattier pieces of brisket but I bet if I would've asked for those cuts he might've accommodated. The smoked potatoes salad is almost a must. Very unique style of potato salad and pairs well with everything. We noticed they also do catering, and the prices for that also look very reasonable. Would definitely considering using them for our next party!
