Taqueria Senaida's

I came here when I first moved to Hayward a year ago but I had a lot of exploring to do! I came back the other day and it reminded me of a place I LOVE back home. Now I can't stop thinking about it!! I got the carnitas baby burrito with beans and rice. It was so delicious and the salsa had great flavor. I can't wait to go back. Fair prices and the baby burrito was as big as regular burritos elsewhere that cost $5 more.

This has been a go to burrito place for 30+ years. Visiting family we swing by early on a Saturday morning and as usual cars on line early. I have always had the happy burrito and the flavor was as always great. Orchata is good and it's always fun as they will put tomatoes in there which is something you don't expect in a burrito but here it works. I have said in other reviews that Hayward has such a wide variety of Mexican food spots and if you are from here everyone has their favorites, this is definitely one of mine. Same family that has been running it since I used to go to Tennyson High so sitting there in the one of two wood benches with the drive through full is always a deja vu moment of years past.

Burrito, chips, salsa, tacos, and agua de Jamaica! Everything authentic and delicious!!

*THEY ARE NOT DRIVE THROUGH ONLY, A REVIEW BELOW WAS INCORRECT* So I've tried Mexican food all over the Bay Area, from the famous places all around SF to that one everybody knows with the orange sauce in SJ, although absolutely NOTHING has EVER exploded my tastebuds so good like the Shrimp Burrito I got from here. Service: 10/10, APPLE PAY ACCEPTED! Really nice cashier, was a little hard to hear him through the little window but he was super nice & patient while I ordered. Food: 10/10 OMG, SHRIMP BURRITO - the shrimp? LITERALLY PERFECTLY COOKED. Not rubbery, not over cooked just perfection. Great smell, great flavor, excellent tasting rice and beans, literal perfection. Pineapple Agua Fresca? SO GOOD. Flavorful and gave me a LARGE amount. Parking: 10/10, it's a drive through taqueria! Although I parked up because they have some really nice benches you can sit at in the shade and enjoy your meal. I wish I didn't live in the Peninsula otherwise I'd come here on the daily honestly. Really good food. Thank you!

This place is drive through only. They have an outside table where you can park and eat after going through the drive through but a very small area. The service is so friendly and casual. The food is pretty good. Salsa is tasty but could use a little more heat. It's not spicy at all. We ordered a shredded chicken happy burrito, Asada super nachos, and crispy chicken taco. Nice good portions and the burrito and nachos was enough for two meals. Cheap, tasty food for a quick meal.

4 1/2 stars for sure. So, a Mexican Drive Thru restaurant. You know this isn't a healthy place :), but it does taste good. I don't frequent often, but when I'm in the mood for nachos, this is my go-to place. Sometimes when it gets crowded, an order taker will walk out to the car to take your order. The nachos aren't like the movie/ballgame nachos with that fake cheese sauce. Although it does have a fake guacamole sauce, which is my FAVE! So the tortilla chips are layered with beans and cheese and tossed in a toaster oven/oven. Since I usually get mine with Carnitas, the Carnitas is then place on top of the cheese and the mouthwatering guacamole-ish sauce is placed on top. They have a really good hot sauce that is great too. A couple other items that I've tried, that are definitely a HIT are the crunchy beef taco and the Happy Burrito, with Carnitas of course.
