I ate one of the most amazing wet burritos I have ever consumed. It's a wonderful restaurant with friendly staff and great food. I highly recommend giving it a try.

I was pleasantly surprised at the vegetarian choices at this rotisserie. there was a delicious squash dish, brussel sprouts, corn salad and kale salad to choose from. the restaurant is small but the food is good. I heard the grilled meat is good as well.

this review is for the El Taquito Restaurant at 22354 Mission Blvd in Hayward, CA a group of 8 of us stopped in for lunch last sunday after visiting a hayward cemetery. we had to wait only about 10 minutes for the staff to pull one table from the very front and place it together with another in the very back. none of us had been there before - i found el taquito on yelp and decided we should eat there because of the rave reviews. we were NOT disappointed. my regular burrito w/carnitas was the best i have ever had. around the table were soft tacos, crispy tacos, chile relleno, steak burrito, carnitas, and couple of taco salads. everyone else's plate appeared to be licked clean. there were only two who needed a to-go box. one cousin who is of mexican descent, claimed the food to be totally authentic. when we all started eating, you could hear the ahhhs, and the mmmmms around the table.unfortunately, none of us live close by, coming from all parts of the bay area. but now we know, if ever in the general vicinity and we want a terrific and authentic mexican meal, we will head for El Taquito Restaurant on Mission Blvd!!
