Decided to have Mexican at the spur of the moment. My wife had seen El Taquito (2) and suggested it. We arrived and the staff were friendly, welcoming AND helpful. Three (3) salsas came with the complimentary chips. Very tasty and spicy. My wife ordered Chiles rellenos. She raved about them. I ordered Chili Colorado. Very tasty. Portions are more than adequate as we took some home. Service was great. Definitely a "Do Over" for us. Try them, you will like them and be pleased. read more

My cousin comes here a lot and I decided to go eat with him and some friends. The portions look huge! My friend ordered a burrito and that thang was big! I just ordered one taco because I wasn't too hungry, but I killed it. It was delicious! Nice, chill atmosphere. Server was great, the place was clean. Cute bright decor. Wouldn't mind coming again if I'm ever in the area. read more

Me and my buddy Cisco ordered one super wet burrito for me and he ordered two Lengua tacos and two drinks the bill was $48.73 and we were shocked mind you we've been going to both spots for over 20 years and the tacos are usually $5 each it's now $800 and wet super burrito used to be I think around $14 or $15 it's now $18 plus $2 extra charge for my carne asada meat? It's just ridiculously high and we're not cheap people we don't mind paying for good food but we both felt like we got robbed because why are we getting charged extra after we paid the price for the item if that's the case will take our business elsewhere that's price gauging to us especially when we usually eat good tacos around Hayward for $350 each just imagine you taking your family out to eat at El Taquito your paying extra charges and good luck to the regular customers let's see if your gonna continue to go there.

Tacos are amazing cocktail amazing don't sleep on this spot they have two locations both are great

$44 for a regular grilled chicken burrito and two shredded chicken. The two shredded chicken tacos were not flavorful at all only like boiled in salt water. The service was nice. The lady at the front was super sweet. Just the food was not that great. read more

Everything was delicious! Buche will always be my favorite here. Our son loves the quesabirria. Hubby gets 2 pastor, 2 buche. You can order a side of grilled onions to add. The chile relleno poblano are perfect and just hit the spot when your craving it. Then wash it down with refreshing Jamaica. Service is always on point and we have never had anything less than exceptional treatment. read more

When you walk up, you walk thru their nice patio with plenty of seating. Place is nice inside also. Placed our order over the phone and it was ready when we came to pick it up. Service is okay, since it was pick up it was a quick interaction. I was not a fan of what we ordered which was chicken tacos and a quesabirria. The chicken tacos were big and had a lot of meat but the tortilla was really dry and hard and it just had pico de gallo on top which didn't taste like it was fresh and I kept bitting into weird texture pieces of chicken, and also there was some carne asada pieces mixed in it and I don't eat beef. The grill must not be cleaned properly. The quesabirria was my coworkers order and she said she wouldn't order again, and that it was not crispy at all but more of a soggy texture. The agua frescas were good tho! I will give this place another try tho to see how their other items are. read more

I absolutely love this place. I start thinking about what I'm going to order while I'm still on the plane, and the moment I land it's my first stop before anything else. The flavors are mouthwatering and always consistent. It's a must every time you're in town. Honestly, everything on the menu is delicious, and the staff is just as amazing as the food! read more

Amazing service. The server was super nice, checked on us several times. She didn't rush us and gave some suggestions on what to eat. We ate outside on the patio. The weather was perfect and there were plenty of tables available to choose from. We ordered the enchiladas and a Al pastor burrito. Both were very very good! The cheesy/green sauce that came with the enchiladas was so tasty. it was well seasoned and added so much flavor to the enchiladas The Al pastor burrito had sour cream and guacamole slathered on top of it. The burrito was sooo good!!! We ate every last bite. Great service, great food, nice ambiance! We'll be back. read more

I don't go here much anymore. Latest visit was today. I took a chance and had the crispy tacos with carnitas. The taco shell was good but the carnitas were overcooked and burnt. I've been disappointed with take out orders in the past. There are certain things that are good but I don't think their cooks do well with all the dishes they offer. The agua frescas are more like kool aid and not made with fresh fruit. read more

Came in for Saturday dinner about 7:30pm and got a table fairly fast. They bought over chips and 3 different types of salsa. We ordered Steak Taco with Rice, a Buche Taco and Pozole. The food came out pretty fast. The steak and Buche were seasoned and cooked perfectly. The rice had great flavor, my daughter's favorite. The Pozole had lots of tender and juice pork in it, the flavor was great and authentic. One of the best I had. The service is always great. The interior of the restaurant is very clean and bright. They also have a outdoor patio. Best place for authentic Mexican food. read more

We stopped here from San Jose to eat after getting our car serviced. Stopped by because it was recommended to us and it wasn't a disappointment. The service was amazing. Very nice and attentive. My gf got the 2 taco plate with carnitas and a side of grilled onions. Everything was fresh and the rice was fluffy and so flavorful. I got the steak nachos and when it came I thought the accidentally gave me a family portion. Holy moly was this plate HUGE. It was so dang good though. Chips were nice a crispy. Steak was tender and flavorful also! We highly recommend this place! Will definitely stop by here again. Thought I'd add a pic of the nachos for evidence on how massive this plate was...haha read more

We ordered to-go via DoorDash toda(Sunday 11/19/23) around 6:30. It took about 15 mins. Private parking lot. After we got home, a staff called us and said they forgot one of our burritos. Good thing it was only a 2 min drive so we went back to get the burrito. The staff said they will give us something for forgetting the burrito. When we arrived, they gave us the burrito and gave us $10 cash. So service is good. As for the food, it was ok. We ordered Buche wet burrito, lamb NEW QUESABIRRIA, and cabeza super burrito. We thought we ordered all dry burritos but the buche was wet...not sure if they messed up or we messed up. But the buche was so salty! We couldn't eat it. Cabeza was better but not well balanced. We asked for no salt but everything was still salted. We really liked the quesabirria though. They gave complimentary salsa and chips. read more

It's OFFENSIVE to see this restaurant not getting a solid 5 stars. I don't know what people are smoking. I'll tell you right now, you will not find better Mexican food. Service exceptional. I'll say it's a little bit pricey but that's because the portions are substantial and REALLY WELL MADE. Taquito will not disappoint. Notice any of the reviews that complain should be complaining about their DoorDash service. This is the best taqueria you will find IN THE BAY AREA. read more

Didn't have the best experience on the food the last time I went in, but went back again because it's always been my favorite place .not only was the food spectacular but the flavors were just as good as I remember the first time I went there years ago and the service was phenomenal as well as the ambience .great place to get authentic flavors. read more

The hubby ordered tacos. I didn't take a pic, but he was not pleased. He said the tortillas were hard and the tacos tasted bland. I had the menudo for dinner. Yeah, it was a cold night. The menudo tasted great. Who would have know menudo was good for dinner too. Thumbs up! read more

I ordered the wet regular burrito to go n it was delicious !The agua del horchata was also good n the service was great

I was thinking about writing this review as soon as my food touched the table. The worse burrito I have ever experienced. Save yourself the trip For starters, you have to park Behind the restaurant because there is no parking in front, it is a busy Main Street so you just drive around back and it is a nice size parking lot so parking is no problem. When I walked in, the place seemed like a sketchy hole in the wall but the greeter and waitress was very sweet and prompt. When I sat down I ordered a water and the waitress brought chips and salsa right away. I knew I wanted a shrimp burrito so I ordered quickly. I ordered a shrimp burrito which contains beans rice sour cream guacamole and shrimp. When my burrito arrived, I honestly thought it was a joke, I can not wait until I post this picture but the picture does not show how small this burrito was like it was a kids meal. I felt like I got a bean and cheese burrito from Taco Bell because that's all that was in there and about 3 shrimps. I ate a little less then half and just put my napkin on my plate and asked for the check I felt so disrespected that they would even be comfortable giving me a burrito that replicates Taco Bell's, like really? I just had to get up and walk out after I payed and I still left a tip because the waitress was pretty good but I dont recommend this tired excuse for a Mexican restaurant! read more

Note to the staff: Please make sure your hands and the surfaces where you prepare food are free of chemicals. The chips taste like cleaning chemicals. The wet chicken burrito tastes good, but with the above, it makes me question what else is contaminated with chemicals... read more
