Chicken picadillo tamales- picture seriously doesn't do them justice--They were perfect!
Teresa S.

My daughter recommended this place to me. She loved their weekend food items, which I will try another time. I special ordered their holiday-time tamales. Watch their IG posts for announcements! They are the best tamales I've ever had, and I have had many homemade tamales. I ordered the pork tamales and the chicken picadillo tamales. They are huge, moist and don't have too much masa. Perfectly seasoned. I purchased them raw (masa) and frozen so I can pop them in a steamer anytime I crave them. Their location is easy to get to. Really cute and quaint spot. Everyone has been friendly and helpful when ordering.

Quesabirria  spread with 2 today's special asada tacos

For some good homemade tasty quesabirriaa, this is one of my top places for them. Like most delish spot, they are only open weekends but get this you can order this for breakfast! As the pandemic has shifted our lives, restaurants have also changed to better meet personal demands. I can't blame humans for wanting to juggle a paying job to support their desires and needs. Since the pandemic I have noticed more shops closing early, which leads to me having an early dinner. Orders can definitely be phoned or dm'd ahead of time to avoid waiting. Don't a expect to see a storefront as this is located in behind a house. The fabulous handmade tortillas and cute patio does make you feel like you're part of their family. The zen atmosphere makes it a pleasant getaway too. The quesabirrias are a must and comes with all the toppings and hearty consume. We also tried the asada taco special of the week and that hit the spot as well. The meaty cheese combined with the tender meat filled my stomach with joy on the damn cold day. I'm going to be a repeat customer!

My daughter's quesabirria the size of her head lol

So we were in the area car shopping and we got hungry as usual. I went to my yelp my reliable source and I saw this place. One other yelper said a gem and it truly is. It felt like we just discovered a treasure chest. Upon arrival I was a bit worried but im so glad I went in the driveway. The people were really friendly and welcoming. There was music and it was superbowl Sunday so everyone had their jerseys on. It's beautiful to see family get together. The tortillas are hand made the meat was perfect tender soft. The salsas were super delicious. I tried their oil based chile and let me tell you I make my own and have my secret pinch I use cinnamon on mine and I tasted peanuts on theirs and it was really good. We will definitely be back if we are in the area or if our tastebuds want some more. I cook at home but we were busy today and hungry hangry at some point. Lol but for sure super good and worth the money . Definitely recommend to my yelpers.

All I can say I wow! The quesabirrias were delicious! The handmade tortillas were chefs kiss. Ingredients tasted so fresh I didn't feel guilty eating the greasy quesabirrias I'm used to from other places. They are big in size too I could only eat one and a half. Salsas were delicious too. Can't wait to go again! My picture doesn't do it justice but I ate before I could take a good picture.

QuesaBirria

Found this place on Yelp and based on the reviews, I took my daughter who is obsessed with Quesa Birria tacos. Followed the direction to find that you walk down a long residential driveway and as it turns out, it was a truck parked right outside the home. It was quaint and inviting with a patio with tables and chairs so you can eat your tacos there. The woman who took my order was friendly. Since we started this Quesa Birria craze with my daughter, we have been to a few different places so we know what they should be like. My daughter and I each had an order which came with 4 tacos. The tacos were ok but the ratio between cheese and meat was quite imbalanced. The tortillas were huge and had so much cheese that is might as well have been a cheese quesadilla and lacking meat based on others that I have had. It came with the consumme with a side of onions, cilantro and two different types of salsa. Personally for me, it wasn't a hit as it had too much cheese with very little meat and the consumme was ok but could have used a little more flavor. I can appreciate ambitious goals to have this place outside a residence but based on the reviews, I guess I came with some higher expectations that sadly wasn't met.

Seating

Been here a couple times and is one of our favorite places for birria! Seating is nice 2 little tables in the backyard with a canopy over the top! If ur craving birria I would highly recommend I would even say best birria tacos in the bay! Only take cash Venmo or Zelle as a heads up.

We came here for the first time yesterday looking for a Birrias place. It was a little confusing to find at first because it's located in the neighborhood but we called and we found it! The food was really good! We got the birria tacos which comes with 4 tacos and a consome. It was in a cute little backyard with a canopy tent set up!

Handmade tortillas are the best! I order 1 quesabirria plate to share , we were both full. The tacos are amazing too and perfectly crispy. Can't wait to be back.

Quesabirrilla with consome. Also ordered beans and rice separately~

It was soooo goood, nothing like home made quesabirrilla. Seasoning done just right and the salsas they included were helllaaaa good. The beans were refried but they were really good, also the rice (´`) Will definitely order here again!!!!! ( ̄ ̄)

Breakfast Chorizo Burrito is not on the Menu but you can ask for it. The tortilla is soft. The…read morefillings inside the burrito are refried beans, Chorizo & Eggs, potatoes and cheese. It was soo good. The table salsas were super bomb too! They compliment their food soo well. They have 3 Salsas. A Red Smokey salsa Spicy Orange Salsa medium not spicy Salsa Verde not spicy but yummy. The service is good but not too fast. They are mainly a sit down spot tucked off with parking in the back. Plenty. The decor inside is simple but bright and fun. They do not allow outside drinks which is cool because they offer Jamaica and other beverages.

Browsed through a bunch of Reddit posts, stating this was the best taqueria in Hayward…read more FYI, It was soooo hard finding this location with Google Maps and not being a Hayward local. We went in circles... the turns are short. ***does not allow outside food or drink inside (unless it's for health reasons)*** FOOD: Ordered 5 tacos at $3.95 per taco, no matter what the meat is. 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. Ordering takeout, they immediately provided all types of salsas without asking. SERVICE: Takeout orders didn't have much service. Directly handed the bag of food. VIBEZ: Mainly males and construction workers. Casual. Fast dining. Standard taqueria vibes. 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.
