The service was fast…read more For starters we had the chips and salsa, the chips were standard and the salsa's was very good. We both decided on taco combo plates Missy had the soft tacos one carne asada the other carnitas. I had the same but with crispy taco shells. Our compliments to the Chef's and the wait staff. Bring your appetite with you. Good food and good atmosphere.

Came in for a Wednesday dinner and it wasn't too busy, which made for a relaxed experience. Service…read morewas prompt and attentive throughout, and there seemed to be plenty of staff on hand. We were brought fresh tortilla chips to start, which were great, along with a Lazy Susan-style setup of salsas and toppings. Unfortunately, this was a bit of a miss for me--there were raw onions, raw jalapeños, a green salsa, and more of a plain red hot sauce rather than a true salsa. I would have preferred something more traditional like a good pico de gallo or a more balanced house salsa. Ordered a bottle of Dos Equis, which at $7 felt a bit steep. Most entrées were priced between $17-$25, which is pretty standard. I had the carnitas and they were excellent--really flavorful and well-prepared. I also tried a bite of the chile relleno, which was solid as well. Overall, the food was good and the service was strong. That said, it's a bit out of the way for me, and while I enjoyed it, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

My husband passes by this restaurant all the time and had been wanting to try it for a while, so we…read morefinally gave it a shot this morning. When we walked in, there was only one person handling everything--taking orders, working the register, and serving food. At first, we thought it was a semi self-service setup, so we ordered at the counter and then found a seat. My husband ordered the steak breakfast, but the steak was unbelievably thin. I got the super burrito, which was not "super" at all--the portion was smaller compared to other Mexican places, and the flavor was pretty bland. We spent about $46 in total, including tax and tip. At least we got to try a place my husband had been curious about, but unfortunately, it's not somewhere we'd come back to.

Came in on a Saturday Night about 7:30pm, place not too busy and got a table fast. Our server…read morebought over some fresh chips and salsa and took our drink order, we both had their Michelada which was pretty good. We ordered the Bistec Flameado, Steak with Chorizo and Melted Cheese on top, also came with refried beans & rice. The steak was seasoned well and tender went great with the Chorizo. The refried beans and rice were good. We would differently return to try other items!!!

A friend recommended this to me and I finally drove out to give it a try. I was greeted as soon as…read moreI walked in and was seated right away. Everything on the menu sounded so good and had to go with the shrimp ceviche and carne asada plate. While I waited for my order, I had fresh salsa and fresh chips. I could not stop eating the chips and had to keep on ordering more. The ceviche was super good and the carne asada was super tender. The rice and beans had the right amount of flavor and the jalapeño had the right kick. The server was really friendly and gave great recommendations on drinks. The restaurant had good lighting, noise level wasn't too loud, and the vibe was pretty chill. Plenty of parking and easy to get to. I drove across the bridge to try this place out and I would do it again! I highly recommend The Mexican Restaurant and Bar if you're craving super tasty food and great drinks with a group of friends or a date night.

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.

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. :)

Honestly this place isnt too bad. The parking is rough at times because it's literally in…read moreSouthland. And the drivers, eeeeeuuuuuggghhhhhhh. Anyway, I came here randomly for lunch because I really liked the one in Dublin. I ordered a quesadilla and 2 tacos with a drink. Honestly it was kinda steep, but that's just how the economy is now. The salsa bar was stocked and it was hella good. The service was nice and everyone greeted each customer so it was good. It was crowded when I went, but there was plenty of seating for everyone. Will come here again if I'm in the area.

Great service, sensible prices and great portions…read more To note, I'm vegan so my review is strictly on the one item I ordered. The cashier was kind and accommodating in building a vegan friendly burrito for me. The burrito itself was okay, but the salsa and pickled veg made up for it. I'm rarely in Hayward and really just stopped by here in a pinch. Los Pericos delivered on what's needed and I'm sure based on how many people I saw come in and out while I was dining in, this is certainly a place for regulars in the area. The restaurant is set up for casual fast dining with plenty of booths with benches for groups of 4-6. Defnintely happy this place was here when I got hungry while running errands in the area.

Taco Yaqui carne asada, and regular taco Al pastor…read more Taco Yaqui was really good and cheesy! Head to the salsa bar under the tent and add your pickled onion and choice of salsas. Prefer the Al pastor over the carne asada but both were good. Also had their mango passionfruit agua Fresca - was refreshing on a hot day, lean more mango. Was easy to find seating and parking - went there closer to opening time

Came around 7pm, ordered pretty fast, food itself took maybe 45 mins, but I mean they had a LINE of people there. AND everything is sooo fresh. They cook and prepare everything in front of you. From the meat, to the smoked peppers, etc. You can also get your own cilantro, pineapple salsa, hot sauce, onions, etc at the little condiment bar. I got the Taco Yaqui , my cousin got the Chorreanda. the Taco Yaqui was FIREEEEE. Every single bite was so yummy and juicy and flavorful~ You gotta try it at least once. I would sooo go back I just gotta be prepared for the wait now esp since its outside hehe. BUT the workers and service was so great they provided us chairs while waiting. Super recommend!!

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.

A friend recommended this restaurant…read more We arrived at 11:30am on a Wednesday and were seating immediately. Our party of 3 ordered a Charcuterie Board and Ceviche Trio to share. For our entrees, we ordered the Argentinian Skirt Steak accompanied with Frites, Sautéed Greens, Fries and Chimichurri Sauce -- and the Mezcal Glazed King Salmon with Cashew Relish, Purple Potato Puree (so interesting!), Shaved Brussels Sprouts, and Chipotle Butter Sauce. Food was fantastic -- straight to the point and with boldness from the Latin influence. The ambiance aims for a higher end dining experience, and there is a full bar with additional seating. Must be a local favorite for Happy Hour and dinner. Jonathan was our server -- shout out to him for his efficiency, attentiveness, and professionalism. He responded at every interaction with enthusiasm and a smile. Would definitely return.

I started with a margarita and it was delicious. I would highly recommend the fried calamari and the Del Toro salad with medium well steak was so flavorful and the steak was grilled perfectly. While the starters were wonderful, the main dishes, Mary's chicken and boneless short ribs were tender, juicy and flavorful. If you're in the area, you've got to stop by. So worth it.

It's a place when you want to try authentic Mexican food.
