    Carne Asada fries
    Natasha K.

    Not sure what the hype is about. Everything somehow lacked seasoning. They didn't have cabeza, birria tacos, or salsa verde. The tacos were soggy. The "guac" was more like a green sour cream sauce -- doesn't taste like fresh guac/avocado. The main upside to this place might be that you don't have to get out of your car to order.

    Really enjoyed the burrito from this place. This spot opens at 10:00am and 5 minutes before opening they already had a few cars lined up on the drive thru. It's important to note that they only take cash. Looking forward to the next time I'm in the area and grabbing a burrito from here again.

    Carnitas ask for sour cream no sour cream carnitas NOT GOOD AT ALL.
    Maricela C.

    Terrible food, and all they say is SORRY, not the first time however we wanted to give them another chance. Ask for Guacamole and sour cream did not get Guacamole said no cheese they add cheese. Greasy carne asada. Just NOT EATABLE

    Menu Prices Increased

    Use to be a favorite spot for Mexican food but not so much now. With the change in quality, quantity, and extra fee if you don't pay with cash it's unfortunately not a favorite now. And they just did a price hike of their entire menu.

    Super nachos with carnitas and no beans or guacamole.

    Got this on Monday 01-06-2025. Im pretty sure you cant serve Undercooked Pork as its a Health risk but if your into that Senaidas has got you Foreal tho I took one bite and as I was looking through the meat I instantly spit it out. Going to get checked soon. But Careful eating there its hit or miss apparently.

    This has been a go to burrito place for 30+ years. Visiting family we swing by early on a Saturday morning and as usual cars on line early. I have always had the happy burrito and the flavor was as always great. Orchata is good and it's always fun as they will put tomatoes in there which is something you don't expect in a burrito but here it works. I have said in other reviews that Hayward has such a wide variety of Mexican food spots and if you are from here everyone has their favorites, this is definitely one of mine. Same family that has been running it since I used to go to Tennyson High so sitting there in the one of two wood benches with the drive through full is always a deja vu moment of years past.

    Hot Sauce/Salsa
    Wendy K.

    4 1/2 stars for sure. So, a Mexican Drive Thru restaurant. You know this isn't a healthy place :), but it does taste good. I don't frequent often, but when I'm in the mood for nachos, this is my go-to place. Sometimes when it gets crowded, an order taker will walk out to the car to take your order. The nachos aren't like the movie/ballgame nachos with that fake cheese sauce. Although it does have a fake guacamole sauce, which is my FAVE! So the tortilla chips are layered with beans and cheese and tossed in a toaster oven/oven. Since I usually get mine with Carnitas, the Carnitas is then place on top of the cheese and the mouthwatering guacamole-ish sauce is placed on top. They have a really good hot sauce that is great too. A couple other items that I've tried, that are definitely a HIT are the crunchy beef taco and the Happy Burrito, with Carnitas of course.

    Service is very bad, and the prices do NOT match the food quality. There are so many great tacos in Hayward. This is not one of them.

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.

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.

We arrived around 4:30 on a Sunday and were seated in the bar area. After waiting 10-15 minutes with no water, chips, or salsa, we still had no idea who was supposed to be serving us. The bartenders never acknowledged us, and nobody stopped by to even say, "We'll be right with you" or thank us for our patience. Eventually, someone came over and asked if we were ready to order. Our food arrived almost right away, but my fiancé realized his added carne asada was missing. The waiter didn't bring it out until he was nearly finished with his meal because he never rang it in.. I ordered the combination fajitas, and they were just okay. The entire time, there was a woman walking around in a blazer who appeared to be a manager, but she seemed more focused on training the bartender than checking on guests. Had she been paying attention, she would have clearly seen how frustrated we were. When our server finally brought the check, we noticed we had been charged twice for the chilaquiles, plus separately for the carne asada that didn't even arrive with the meal. After another 5 minutes, I flagged down who I believe was the manager to fix the bill. She corrected it and brought it back, but then we were left waiting another 5-10 minutes for our server to actually process the payment. The waiter never even thanked us before we left. Overall, the experience was incredibly disappointing, especially considering how much we enjoyed this place in the past. Neither of us plans to return.

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.
