El Taquito Restaurant Dos

Wow ! What can I say ? What a wonderful dining experience is what I can say. El Taquito #2 in Hayward California has got to be one of the best Mexican American restaurants I've been to in my 53 years. As soon as I walked into the restaurant in the late afternoon there was plenty of seating and I was soon welcomed and helped in regards to being served. As I looked at the menu I was so pleased with the vast number of choices I had to choose from for my meal. I was in the mood for a giant Carnitas wet burrito and I was soon to find out that I would not be disappointed. That burrito had got to have been one of the best burritos that I had ever had. In addition, my food server was very kind and welcoming. Even the restaurant itself has a nice Mexican ambience with hispanic art and Mexican musi

I got three tacos here. Taco Al Pastor which had really good flavor but it was super messy with all the juices coming off it. The taco de Birria wasn’t that good. The lamb meat didn’t have much flavor and there was what I think part of bone or something hard in the meat which threw me off. I also ordered shrimp tacos but by mistake they gave me fish tacos. I brought them back to see if they can give me the shrimp ones I ordered and they had no problem switching them out for me. Also, when I was going to buy Jarritos soda they gave it to me free of charge. That’s some A+ customer service there which made this a 4 star review for me. Overall the tacos were ok and I do want to come back and try more of their food, plenty of options to choose from here.

Classic menu, nothing out of the ordinary. There's a patio so we can bring our dog.

I have never had a bad meal here, regardless of what I order. My favorite are the crispy tacos. Small spot, not a fan of the restaurant decor. But I don't have a problem eating at the outside tables. Occasionally I just call in my order to go. The service is good. The reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because it is a little pricey compared to most taquerias that I have been to.

Our favorite Mexican food in Hayward. We’ve been coming here for years. The service is great and the quality never disappoints. We’ve tried the crispy tacos, quesabirria, fish tacos, chimichanga, taco salad (huge) - ALL delicious. Highly recommend!
