    Mexican Chocolate
    Sarah L.

    My new favorite breakfast/brunch place in the area! The pancakes here are super fluffy and buttery. Portion is generous and food comes out fast. I also tried the steak and the pork chop, both are delicious. You can't go wrong with the Mexican hot chocolate either.

    Sunday afternoon busy but service is always quick friendly and the people come and go very smoothly. Never disappoints. Food is perfect every time. Never leave here hungry that's for sure. Diner vibe and my kids especially like all the toys and trinkets for sale.

    Can not remember why I had went to Hayward.My bf and I ended up looking for a spot they made egg rolls because we needed it for an event and saw this cafe and we decided to go and try it it's a family owned business, the two waiters young ladies were amazing and sweet. We ordered huevos rancheros and a Denver omelet it was so yummy and very fulfilling.the place gets super packed.Would recommend for sure.

    I was in the neighborhood and it was brunch time on a Sunday. I have been here a couple of times, they serve a nice breakfast, American and Mexican choices. Walking in, it was packed but a few tables in the back which I have never been. The wait people were busy but friendly. They took my order quickly and the food was delivered relatively quickly too, not rushed. Someone stopped occasionally to check in. On this occasion, I ordered the huevos rancheros. It was a nice portion with rice and beans, whatever. the egg was cooked just so for me to break and have it run on tortilla and rest of my egg. Together with the rice and beans, a good balance. Pay at the front counter by informing the cashier the table number. There was a back up at the counter as take out pick up and paying diners ahead of me trying to get out. Otherwise, an eventual and pleasant meal.

    After years of living in Hayward, I'm surprised this was my first time making it to Rosy's Cafe! If you're looking for a no-frills, hearty breakfast, this is your spot. My husband and I stopped by on a weekend late morning because we wanted a filling breakfast and we definitely got it here. There was a lot of hustle and bustle when we arrived, and even though the restaurant was practically full, we were seated immediately. Service is so quick here so it makes sense that even folks who dined in were in and out. We ordered the country fried steak & eggs along with the chorizo & eggs and a strawberry agua fresca. Both dishes were really good and the portions were huge. If I had to choose between the two, I'd go with the chorizo & eggs again because it was really flavorful. The agua fresca was refreshing, but wish it had more strawberry flavor. It tasted a little watered down. Prices were pretty reasonable all around. Fun little add on: they also sell some toys by the front. You can get action figures and even lafufus. Open for dinner starting 7/31!

    Hobo Plate and Breakfast Sandwich

    The breakfast here is great! I visited for the first time this week and got the large hot hobo and it was spicy and the house salsa they have on hand is so good! If you're looking for a small diner with great food this is a place to check out

    Carnitas Omelette

    First time here, walked in and we were seated immediately. We came on a Sunday and there was lots of customers inside. Restaurant was very busy. There is a lot of seating available, customer service is friendly and fast. The volume inside the restaurant is LOUD as employees holler at each other from across the restaurant and its like an organized chaos going on type of vibe/ambiance (due to the employees and how they communicate) Food is good, very flavorful and authentic I enjoyed my meal and so did my son Prices are reasonable Parking is easy to come by and parking lot is safe No alcohol served (no mimosas )

    First time here, it was poppin! Full restaurant , but we got seated right away. Everyone looked to be enjoying their food and talking. Our server greeted us right away and was very kind. 10/10 food! I would recommend this place for good breakfast freshly made.

    Horrible service, which affects the food delivery. I've directed my office team to avoid this place at all cost.

    AMERICAN VS. MEXICAN ITEMS I follow some "Collections" on Yelp. Rosy's Cafe is listed on the "Collection" of worthy brunches in the East Bay. I wanted to check this place out. The first time I came here was on MLK Day for breakfast. As I walked inside Rosy's Cafe its decor felt as I was eating at a diner in the 1970s and early 1980s. For brunch restaurants the first thing I order is steak and eggs. The reason is I love steak and if I can have it for breakfast I'll order it. What was intriguing at Rosy's Cafe about the steak item for breakfast it was ribeye. Therefore the "stakes" were high. I am not a fan of French toast as I find it heavy for my taste. However the churros-style French toast was intriguing so I decided to order it. For beverage I ordered Mexican chocolate. I set low expectations for the churros-style French toast. After the first bite I enjoyed the churros-style French toast as the cinnamon added sweetness texture. Also the churros-style French toast doesn't taste too eggy. When I received my ribeye steak and eggs I feared that the ribeye was too caramelized. Since I ordered my steak medium rare I felt the steak would be medium. I was wrong the steak was medium well in my opinion. The ribeye was a downer. Since I ordered an American item for breakfast I want to try a Mexican item. I came back to Rosy's Cafe on the first Sunday of February. On the Mexican breakfast items I was deliberating between the chile verde omelette or carnitas omelette. Then I went back and forth between the chile verde omelette or the chicken fajita omelette. I asked my server out of the two omelettes if she would recommend the chile verdi or chicken fajita. She suggested the chile verde omelette as she stated that's the item she orders the most when she eats at Rosy's Cafe. I ordered the chile verde omelette. Since I enjoyed the churros-style French toast I ordered that item again. I was little worried if the chile verde omelette would be too heavy. Most of the time when I order chile verde it for enchiladas. The chile verde omelette was tasty but not heavy. I enjoyed eating the chile verde omelette with the corn tortillas. Sometimes corn tortillas can be tough and rough, but the corn tortillas I ate at Rosy's Cafe was warm and soft. As last time I enjoyed the churros-style French Toast. I would have rated Rosy's Cafe higher, but I can't get over the ribeye I ate the first time I ate here. Even though the steak wasn't tough it also wasn't medium rare as I requested. If I come back to Rosy's Cafe multiple times and enjoyed other items that ribeye I ate still lingers with me.

    This place is a go to for my friends and family. I've been here multiple times and every time is hella good. This last time I came here with friends who are from out of town and they wanted a good breakfast. We got there and were seated hella quick and the service from the wait staff was good. The store is small, but they make it work. The food is good and I like how cozy it is because it initiates conversation. I like how you can get a traditional breakfast and a mexican one.

    Does Rosy's sell chorros?

    No. The closest churros item is the churros-style French toast.

    What are the hours on Sat and Sun?

    They for sure open at 7am but I believe they close no later than 3pm but no earlier than 2pm.

    Did prices go up? I love Rosy's but seems like every time I go the price goes up. I understand everything is going up in price but I go every few weeks and each time the price is higher. Can the Yelp menu prices be updated?? 🥰

    Every restaurant we go to Saint like the prices of everything is going up.price of product cost of doing business. The last time I was at Rosies the prices were in line with everybody else.

    What are the hours of operation?

    We are closed at the moment due to small fire accident We will be back in a month around… Read more

    Why isn't Rosy answering the phone? Are they open?

    Steven V. They answered for me when I dialed (510) 363-8693. Not sure what time you dialed and what number it was that you dialed.

    This review is only for the small banquet room in the back, behind the bar. Our group had a…read morefundraiser event recently and there were about 50 people that attended. I can't say enough good things about the staff that took care of us. Jessica, Pepe, and the manager Luis ensured that our event ran smoothly. Jessica took care of our drink orders and Pepe made sure the food Buffett was regularly replenished. Both of them constantly cleaned up around the cocktail tables, ensuring that the area stayed presentable throughout the event. The Mexican always has great pricing on drinks so the guests enjoyed a variety of them. The food was delish and everything served was not only pretty to look at but also tasty. They also let us use their mic and speaker system, which I think is a plus. All in all we loved having our event at the Mexican and would recommend this venue to anyone wanting to host an intimate event.

    Waste of $100, and we both regretted our meal. It had been a few years since we'd eaten here, but…read morewe had really enjoyed it in the past, so we were looking forward to coming back. 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.

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.
