    Grill pit in rear.
    Victor G.

    El Asadero Poblano has it's 2nd location in the rear of a Valero gas station. Not a taco truck. Food is dispensed in a tented area. A grill is behind the serving counter. Hours in the evening 5-10 weekdays. Weekends 4-10. Forgot to take pic. My memory isn't perfect. Posted what I roughly remembered. Ordered at cashier station in the middle. Pick up floor at the window next to it about 5 minutes later. Behind the cashier is the self-serve salsa station. A dine-in table is in the corner next to salsa station. No marked area for parking. 1 is alongside the gas station. The other is alongside sidewalk area. Not much decor, music from a boom box. Patrons were all amigos. Offerings (Tijuana-style, Mexico): meat plate, tacos, burritos, tortas, quesadillas, quesatacos. Mulitas, Memelas, Aqua Fresca, vampiro Bites: cabeza/pastor tacos (2/$7j -garnishes of grilled onions, guacamole, cilantro on housemade corn tortillas. Got red & green salsa, jalepenos, onions & lime squeeze from salsa bar. Pastor was slightly dry, not tender. Green salsa mild. Cabeza was moist, tender. Red salsa pretty spicy. 4.5 stars Worthy! Quantity: very good Quality: perfecto. *planned to order vampiro. Forgot. This location better than International one. Definite repeat.

    If you're looking for TJ style tacos, look no further!!! Tortillas are made fresh right in front of you. Their al pastor is one of the best I've ever had. Carne asada is grilled over charcoal. Unlimited salsa bar. Reasonable prices. Wish they had an actual store front but sometimes the best food comes from a parking lot of a gas station.

    The middle of the night Insta reel death spiral led me here to the Hayward location of El Asadero Poblano. Our favorite Tijuana style taqueria is Mi Reynita but we were thrilled to see this place open just a few minutes down the street from us so we decided to give it a try. Rating Breakdown: 1.5/2 Stars for Taste -- We tried the asada, cabeza, lengua, al pastor, and tripas. Our favorite is the cabeza, which was tender and just the right amount of fatty. I'm not usually a fan of asada because it tends to be too dry for me, but the asada here had a good smoky flavor that made it a surprising winner. The al pastor was juicy but I was sad it didn't come with any pineapple. The lengua was pretty standard, it didn't stand out much to us. I ordered the tripas in a corn quesadilla. The handmade tortilla itself was chewy and delicious, but the cheese inside wasn't melted all the way and it felt like they skimped a bit. They were generous with the tripas , but even though I asked for it extra crispy, it came out a bit soggy/chewy and offputtingly oily. There were three types of salsa. The green mild salsa was kind of bland. The super spicy orange one felt more like pain without flavor. We liked the medium red one, which had a nice balance of flavor and heat. The horchata was creamy and sweet, the way I like, but my husband prefers the more watered down version. 0.5/1 Stars for Value -- It's $3.50 per taco, which is pretty standard nowadays. The quesadilla was $13, which felt expensive for what I got. There is also a $2 upcharge per item for tripas and lengua, which I found a bit steep. This is why I ordered the tripas as a quesadilla since it's also $2 but you get a lot more protein. The aguas frescas are $5, which is cheaper than some other places. 1/1 Stars for Customer Service -- The server at the front was super nice and helpful. You order at the front and they give you a ticket to give the kitchen to start your order. The salsa and grilled jalapeno/onions are self-serve. The truck next to the gas station so parking is limited. You can pay with cash or Zelle. Bonus star because although it does not beat out Mi Reynita in our hearts, we would come by again for tacos if we are too lazy to drive all the way to San Leandro. We would skip the meats with surcharge and quesadilla. They didn't have the fresa con crema agua fresca this time, so I would come back to try that next time!

    Burrito

    Had a big ass burrito here . It costs $25 but fed me all day. Usually when you buy big burritos, they tend to lose the flavor because they are so big, but not this one. It was super delicious and flavorful. They also have some great sauces and a small vegetable bar to complement the burrito. This is a real review. I was not paid anything. This place is actually real good.

    AMAZING service and quality of food. The meat was very savory and well made. We got a burrito, tacos and a mulita de asada. It was delicious omg the best burrito I've ever had as of now, very filling. The tacos are made with hand made tortillas, and to top it off the salsas are self served. I definitely give this place a 10/10 and will be coming back very soon. Please support these kind people they are doing an amazing job. The commute from San Francisco Airport is very close coming down the bridge.

    Plain asada burrito

    Very disappointed.. We were looking forward to really liking this spot for a new to go taco truck close to home. Asked for asada and pastor burrito, NO pastor. No sour cream. No cheese. No guac. No salsa.

    Was craving tacos and saw this place on google and had to try it out, I have went to there oakland location but since they have one in hayward now its so much closer. BOMB TACOS I definitely recommend this place if you like homemade tortillas. The workers were very friendly and nice as well. If your in hayward try this place out

    English and Spanish review…read more 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.

I've had this place bookmarked for a year now, and I went there yesterday at 10am to get some food to go. I was greeted by a lady there. She was friendly and complimented my dress. I got a Carne Asada Taco, Al Pastor Taco, and a Gringa. I asked if they had chips and salsa, but she said they do have salsa but no chips. That's different. I've never been to a Mexican spot that didn't have chips. The place looked clean and vibrant. There were plenty of parking in the plaza. There were plenty of seating as well. Maybe it was still early so no customers were there when I was there. After waiting for about 5 mins, she brought me my bag of food. She complimented my look and bid a good day. So sweet & nice! I enjoyed the food when I got home. Everything was very yummy! The meats along with the veggies were all super tasty. The green salsa had a nice kick to it. The cucumber (?) slices were refreshing. I think I found a new fave Mexican spot! Just need to get some chips from a store! Lol :)

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.

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. :)

    Was looking for a taco spot after an event in San Jose. I could've stayed in San Jose but the rain…read morewas super heavy and I wanted to go somewhere closer to home. 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.

    ‼Absolutely horrible tasting food that is ridiculously over priced oh my god. NOT WORTH MY $44 !…read more I got these food items: Asada tacos- 1/2 of the taco meat was just big oily chunks of fat, I spat it out immediately. Rest of it was tolerable to chew. Tortilla was dry and oily. Al Pastor tacos- bland meat with a lingering dry pepper aftertaste that makes the meat taste old. Took one bite and was immediately repulsed. Chips and dip (guac and salsa)- chips are oily and hard to chew. Guac was bland, no garlic or cut tomato. Salsa was a viscous sludge in a small tub, had the same pepper taste as the Al Pastor. Horchata drink- too much cinnamon and saw multiple lidded to go cups of this already made in the fridge behind the register, no expiration dates on them. ALSO PLEASE UPDATE THE PRICES ON YOUR MENU, I was charged $11.95 for the chips and dip but the menu says "house chips and guac $9.50" ... how is salsa $2.45? Only positive thing I would mention is that the free tiny salsa, slice of lime, sliced radish, and pickled jalapeño and carrot was nice of them. Wish the pickled veggies didn't drip vinegar all over the bag (it was wrapped in tin foil). Never been here before and never coming back again.
