Breakfast Chorizo Burrito is not on the Menu but you can ask for it. The tortilla is soft. The fillings 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They are mainly a sit down spot tucked off with parking in the back. Plenty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor inside is simple but bright and fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They do not allow outside drinks which is cool because they offer Jamaica and other beverages. read more

Browsed through a bunch of Reddit posts, stating this was the best taqueria in Hayward. 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: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mainly males and construction workers. Casual. Fast dining. Standard taqueria vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. :) read more

I've been looking for good Mexican food in Hayward with quality protein. We got their super tacos with carne Asada and al pastor. It was very very good and we'll be coming back. They make it ready to order so it takes a little longer but worth it for the quality. Keep it up! read more

Food was amazing! They make their own tortillas daily. My entire family, kids included loved the food here. The staff were friendly.

Popped in to pick up a quick lunch on a Sunday as I saw the Yelp reviews were solid. It's a little off the beaten path (or off the main road) by the Amtrak station in Hayward. Parked in the lot next door, seemed a bit sketch so thankfully it was daytime. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nothing fancy inside, just your normal mom and pop, divey kind of place[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Got an al pastor super burrito and a carnitas super nachos. Both of these dishes were over $15 which seems a bit pricey to me but I realize it's kind of the going rate these days for burritos. Good sized portions, solid spot for Mexican food. The reviews on the tacos are great, got to try those next time! read more

This place was great. The fish tacos is what brought me here and it is the fish tacos I must too recommend. I drove a little out of my way to get here and would say it was worth it. Chips and salsa were fresh and delicious and the horchata was pretty tasty as well :) read more

Shockingly good tacos. I would give this place 6 stars if I could. It's a typical Hayward taqueria...so be prepared for that and make sure to park in the back lot. We tried Cabeza, carne asada, and al pastor tacos. The cabeza is so tender and the al pastor was so juicy- and both were extremely well seasoned. I'd pass on the carne asada though...also the salsas were TOO good. A must-try. read more

Taqueria Familiar - Mexican Near Me - Hayward, California

We at at this restaurant a LONG time ago when it was a Mexican seafood restaurant, also family owned/run that was great. We were sad when it closed. Thanks to Yelp, I learned it's been reopened as a Taqueria. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As others have mentioned the patio is a lovely, cozy setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like the fact that Taqueria Familiar is "off the beaten path" on Meekland Avenue which has NO other restaurants on it and the surrounding area is either light industrial or houses.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And as others have said, they do have the off street parking lot behind the building. The menu has changed from a year ago. They no longer offer a Vegie menu, which I saw in the menu photos. And like every restaurant coping with price increases on everything, they no longer list prices because they are changing so often. I ordered a fish taco, a carne asada taco, a regular chicken burrito, a "little burrito" which just has beans and cheese and a side of beans, all to go. That was plenty of food for my husband and I as the regular burritos are HUGE. Bill was $35, which is very reasonable for two people these days. The absolute super stars of the meal were the DELICIOUS BEANS and the soft, homemade tortillas. I ate the "little burrito" myself and was in absolute bean and cheese heaven. SO glad I got that side order of beans! The chicken burrito was also excellent. The tacos were a little disappointing. Carne Asada was a bit tough and overcooked, Fish was not really crispy. BUT part of that could have been it was a to go order, fish tacos best eaten fresh. We will absolutely be back and will sit on the outdoor patio to eat. I can't wait to try some of their platos, including the whole fried fish. I didn't mention the service, which was super. Not a lot of interaction with the counter person but she was very friendly and helpful. Check out Taqueria Familiar and be sure to order their delicious and obviously homemade BEANS and flour tortillas! read more

Great food, tasty tortas and excellent service. When they bring you your food they bring three sauces to eat with, all were flavorful.

Tacos are great. They had three types of salsa served with my order. The tortillas are lightly fried and each taco came with long sautéed onions. read more

How does this place only have 45 reviews? The word needs to be spread. The tacos here are delicious!  On a chance, we thumbed through Yelp, and poof, it appeared! Taco heaven!  The super tacos are meaty and packed with all the things right in this world. They are tasty, filling, and just what a taco should be!  The restaurant is over on Meekland, over by A Street Amtrak. You really don't know it's there until you find it. The restaurant is smaller, but there is enough seating on both the inside and the outside. They have parking; it's just a bit tight.  The staff were nice. Ordering was quick and painless, and did I mention the tacos?  We had: 4 super tacos: Carnitas, Al Pastor, and Carne Asada!  Menudo--it was also well done. Tons of tripe cooked down to a meaty, tender bowl of love. It was spicy, filling, and just good old comfort food.  They give you three different salsas - Not hot, medium and Habanero Fire! All three were nice. You just can't beat the heat of the habanero with the Taco! This might be my new go-to! Very impressed! Let's make sure this place gets the recognition and business it deserves!  Remember to support Hayward! Eat local! read more

This is one of my favorite Mexican spots to eat. David & his family really care about serving fresh well seasoned food...it's called FLAVA!

Jamaica and horchata: pretty standard Fish taco: THIS IS WHAT A $5.50 TACO IS SUPPOSED TO BE. Seems to be a new price point for tacos but this one is worth it. Big piece of fish that isn't fishy or too fried. Big pieces of avocado. Lots of salsa Fresca and shredded cabbage. I would like a creamy lime sauce on it but I squeezed some lime on and added guacamole and that was almost as good. Carne asada plate: meat is lean and easy to cut. Beans salty in a good way and rich, great amount and quality of side veg including grilled onions. Enough tortillas for all the food Guacamole is chunky with lime, cilantro and tomato. Not spicy Three salsas served at the table. One really spicy. ( didn't try it. That's what the employee said) We will be back. What a great find Easy parking in back and right off the freeway Bathroom gradeC+. The door handle inside and out and the faucet handle were all dirty but the rest was pretty clean read more

HIGHLY UNDERRATED!!! I cannot stress how hard it is for me to find a fresh chile relleno with cheese that actually melts!! Everywhere I go the chile is either old/spoiled or has a block of unmeltable cheese in the middle. This place has changed the game when it comes to serving fresh quality meals. I also very much enjoyed their cozy front patio! We initially ordered to go but we ended up staying just to enjoy the relaxing outdoor atmosphere. Nothing better than relaxing after a hot summer day with great food, cool drinks and not to mention a great sunset! Service was great! Owner brought our food to us when it was ready. The food was delicious, fresh and well packed together. Pricing was also very reasonable. Highly recommend! Try it once and I can guarantee you will come back! read more

Taqueria Familiar - Chile relleno plate and sopes - Mexican Near Me - Hayward, California

REUPLOADED- Since they wanted to delete my original review lols, y'all can't hide your actions, you can't throw stones and hide hands. Tengan huevos and take responsibility for having shitty customer service. Keep deleting it and I will keep uploading it. :) Original Review: If you're a new customer, avoid this place at all costs. My boyfriend and I went here last night to try a new taco spot after he recently moved to San Leandro from Fremont. What we experienced was the worst customer service l've ever had at a restaurant in San Leandro and that's saying something lols. To preface, l've had bad service in the past and never felt compelled to write a review, but the sheer disrespect and unprofessionalism I encountered here I needed to state. We arrived at 5:45 PM and parked in their lot. Since it was our first time, we spent about 10 minutes looking at the menu in the car. While we were deciding, a large man started shining a flashlight into the parked cars, including ours. I assumed he was some kind of security guard patrolling the lot since the area isn't great. A few minutes later, I was distracted on my phone when I heard a loud thump on the back of my car. I got out to see two kids, about 10 years old, playing soccer in the parking lot. They looked scared and shocked, and there was a man nearby who appeared to be supervising them. However, he said nothing to the kids, let alone apologized for the ball hitting my car. Despite this, 1 was still planning to go inside, until what happened next. The same man with the flashlight came up to my window and knocked on it. When I rolled it down, he rudely asked what I was doing in the parking lot. I explained we were looking at the menu and were about to come in. I also mentioned that the kids had hit my car. His response? Sarcastically, "What do you want me to do about it?" I told him to at least tell the kids not to play around parked cars. Instead of addressing the issue, he laughed in my face, called me a "vieja ridícula". ,ridiculous woman in Spanish thinking I wouldn't understand his machista big body self and walked away. At that point, my boyfriend told him "We can just leave, but before we could, the man told us "Yes leave!" So, we left. As we drove off, I realized I should get their insurance information in case my car was damaged.When we returned, the parking lot had been closed off, but the kids were still playing. The man comes out again and I confronted the man, asking for insurance information. His response? Another laugh and a dismissive, "We have security cameras. You can check if you want." At no point did anyone apologize or even acknowledge the situation. This was, hands down, the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. The blatant lack of professionalism, the dismissive attitude, and the sheer disrespect made it clear this place doesn't value its customers. Instead, we went to Guadalajara Tacos, where the parking lot was well-lit, there were not kids playing soccer, the service was friendly, and the food was fantastic. I highly recommend them over this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A small letter to management: allowing unsupervised kids to play in the parking lot is irresponsible. What if they hit someone's car and caused significant damage? Or worse, hurt someone? It's not the kids' fault they're just children. But it is the adults' responsibility to manage the situation appropriately, which clearly didn't happen here[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Bottom line, don't waste your time or money here. They clearly don't deserve it. read more

We recently moved to CV from Oakland but there ain't no good Mexican food in CV. Sorry, it's true. This place was so delicious. Al pastor torta, asada fries, super nachos, and a super veggie burrito for the family and everyone was happy and well fed. Great prices. I liked the salsas too. The women working there this evening were both extremely sweet. I grew up down the street from this spot, felt nice finding a place in my childhood neighborhood. Will be back! read more

OMG! Amazing! I had four tacos. Two carne asada, chicken, and pork. All were great great! The folk were kind , the food was great, and I will definitely be back! read more

My family was looking for a new taqueria to try and that's when we came across taqueria familiar. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was fairly quiet with 1-2 other groups in the restaurant. We ordered and took a seat on the (really nice) outdoor patio. The staff was friendly, and I believe the owner was there at the front assisting as needed. My husband was going to get all carne tacos, but she persuaded him to try a different meat and go half n half. I got the carne super burrito, and both our options were great. Tbh it was just super clean tasting. The ratio of burrito filling was perfect and i didn't feel it was too wet or dry. Flavors were spot on and I found myself saying "mmm" a few times. I tried the pastor tacos, and they were delicious. Salsas were really good too - green was the winner for me though I'd for sure come back and try some of their other items - the sopes caught my eye. For sure recommend stopping through for a try. read more

I'll start off by saying that the super tacos were pretty good i personally felt like it needed a little more salt and added some to my preference. Salsas were spicy but lacking flavor. My only gripe would be the price 6 super tacos 3 regular tacos 1 bean and cheese burrito 1 can coke 1 bottle coke for total of $75. read more

I can't believe it took me this long to try this place out! The food here is bomb! I got the al pastor super taco and a carne asada plate and both completely blew me away. The al pastor was moist and juicy with a very nice charred, grilled taste to it. It's almost similar to barbecue brisket burnt ends in that aspect. Absolutely delicious. It came with avocado as well and Pico de gallo. The carne asada plate was delectable as well. It came as a huge piece of beef accompanied with rice, beans, pico, onions, lime, and a big grilled pepper. The carne asada wasn't too tough and had excellent beef flavor. The onions and pico were very fresh and the rice was very well made and seasoned with its own distinct flavor. I'm for sure coming back and trying the rest of the items and meats! read more

My second time picking up from this spot and it seems to be very consistent with the flavors, service and quickness. Ordered super burritos, super tacos and regular tacos. All very good flavors, tortillas don't go soggy and fresh ingredients. Tip! I personally enjoy the super picante (habanero) salsa they make, so request it as your to-go bag only comes with the typical red and green salsas. read more

I'm speechless, these are unequivocally the best tacos in hayward. I've tried several in the area: los carnalitos, tacos gonzalez, taqueria y mar, el buen sabor, lalo's taqueria, and taqueria familiar is by far the best. Meat is seasoned boldly and have a kick. It is cooked perfectly. Tortillas are crisped up so they don't get soggy but are not overly greasy. Love the fresh radish and spiced onion too. We've been coming here literally every week because it is too irresistible. There's 3 sauces and all are delicious. read more

Was in the mood for some stick to your ribs, hole in the wall, mom and pop Mexican food and found this spot and saw that is highly rated. " Lets Go!" I told myself and myself put the pedal to the metal! My first impression when I was lord in was "DANG! This place is colorful." I walked to the counter as the menu board was there. The owner (I think) was already to take my order. I explained that this was my first time and I needed a few minutes. I felt a little rushed but I found what I wanted. I wish that I had a little more time to look over the menu though. My choice? The California burrito. Ingredients listed were beans, cheese, French fries, avocado, rice and choice of meat. My choice? Chicken. I took a seat at a very colorful table and before I knew it, a HUGE burrito and a Diet Coke was delivered. Holy Moly!! This burrito could easily be shared!! It came with lemon slices and radishes. The very nice owner also brought over two sauces...one green and mild and one red and a bit spicer. I decided that the red had the best flavor. Burrito was fresh, hot and tasty. It was so big that I could only eat half and took the other half home for dinner. Yes...I will be back! read more

Lovely little 'mom and pop' place. No, I mean it literally. The lady behind the counter was literally holding the cutest napping baby. Aside from the cuteness, the food was great too! I had the breakfast burrito, which was substantial, tasty, and a well balanced substrate for the available sauces and any added meats you want to go with. Wife had shrimp enchiladas with green sauce (the shrimp was not a standard option, but they gamely went along with her kooky idea). Lots of flavor, and went well with the sauces. They brought us these big bottles of sauces, mild, medium, and spicy. I tried and enjoyed the mild and medium. I am a not-so-dating gringo so I shall leave the spicy taste test to you. Friendly staff. Several steps up from 'hole in the wall', with tasty grub. read more
