They have a ton of seating indoors and a few tables outside on the covered patio. Service takes a little while and the food took around 20-30 mins to get to us. This place has my favorite pupusas in the East Bay. They're cooked perfectly and not too much dough. Just a great authentic place that's reminds me of the restaurants back in El Salvador. We got a ton of food to go also and the bill was only $110. Great prices.

Everything was ordered to go about 45 minutes prior to closing and took about 25 minutes to make. The price for the amount of food is decent. The Birria pupusa pizza is comforting so make time for a nap afterwards! Staff was nice and for a business that was closing in less than an hour, it was busy! All the tables seemed to have people in them. Staff were consistently running food to people's tables. Definitely one of the better pupusa options in the Bay Area and possibly my new favorite in the East Bay.

Now, this low-key, casual spot is a regular in my rotation of restaurants, a favorite place to stop by for a reliably good, inexpensive meal with friendly service. Parking is easy in the private lot beside the restaurant. I've never had to wait for a table; reservations are not necessary. The décor and hood are nothing fancy, but the food is well worth the trip. The crisp, chewy, made-to-order pupusas; generous sides of tart curtido; and extra-large sweet beverages (I always get the piña) bring me back again and again.

Crazy popular place given the neighborhood it is in. Talk about a perfect concept in the perfect…read morespot, fits like a glove. In this tiny shopping strip in a very Hispanic hood in Hayward. I once came on a weekend early afternoon and had to turn around and look for an alternative...line out the friggin' door. Came on a weekday late in the lunch hours (2ish pm) and was able to get in the door. But within minutes of receiving my order, a line of over 10 peeps roll in and now the place seemed busy. This place has serious pull. All they do is carnitas, but in true authentic Mexican fashion. Carnitas is straight pork cooked in its own lard. It is seasoned simply (probably just salt) and cooked low and slow until the meat gets incredibly tender. Pretty much 'confit' method which is used in other cultures as well. But in true authentic fashion, in those pots of lard bubbling away, they are just not cooking pork meat. They are also cooking pork skin, one crispy (chicharone), one soft and chewy (cueritos), and also Buche which is the pork stomach lining, so it has a dense and meaty texture, but when confit'd is pretty darn good. You can get these carnitas in taco form, which seemed very popular during that lunch hour. Or you can get it as a combo plate with rice and beans. Or you can get any of those pork items by the pound, which I'm sure the majority of peeps do on weekends to take back home to feed a small army. Combo #3 ($16ish/4*) This is their smallest combo that can feed 1-2. Has about a pound of protein of choice, a small scoop of rice and refried beans, a decent size of salsa and 6 corn tortillas. I ate half there and brought the rest home for a light dinner later. Also comes with a fountain drink, so really nice value given how many meals I was able to get from it. Now when you order a combo, you pick what types of protein you want. You can get just the pork meat, which seems like mostly pork leg meat given the thick fibers in the chunks. It is quite tender and pulls with ease. The seasoning is perfect but is made even better with their thin and slightly spicy red salsa. I tried the 'mixta' option which was pork meat mixed with tender pork skin and even a bit of the buche. Definitely more exotic but very satisfying from my perspective. I think next time I'm going to order by the pound. Get a pound of meat, a half pound of the soft and gelatinous skin and a half pound of crispy chicharones. That way I can make my own tacos at home with all 3 components topped with their salsa and my own chopped onions and cilantro. Damn I'm drooling just thinking about it. Vamos cabron.

The meat was also extremely salty, and we were unable to eat them. The two young women working there were very standoffish and provided poor customer service. One of them was on her phone while taking my order. When I asked a simple question, they looked at me as though I was ignorant instead of answering politely. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, and I would not return.

I really don't understand all of the complaints about poor service at this restaurant. Ignacio is…read morelegendary for his slow or nonexistent service, and equally famous for his ability to socialize endlessly, while simultaneously ignoring patrons, both seated and newly-entering. It simply would not be "Los Compadres" if Ignacio ever stopped screwing around, and started doing his job. And all of the customers would not have it any other way! So please be thankful you have a festive Mexican restaurant with delicious food and a truly entertaining and colorful character in the personage of Ignacio. (Or, as my sainted grandmother would say, "just sit down and shut up!")

From the tacos and burritos to the Crunchwrap. Their carne asada is always tender and you can really taste that smokey, charcoal flavor. My personal favorite is the pastor. It's flavorful, juicy, and always cooked just right. My most recent order was the papa loca. It's a baked potato loaded with your choice of meat, onions, cilantro, sour cream, and guacamole on top. They definitely don't skimp on the meat. Every bite was packed with flavor and honestly it's become my favorite item on the menu. The food is consistently good, portions are generous, and the staff is always friendly. It's been great seeing them grow over the years and they're one of those spots I keep coming back to.
