More than a 3 less than a 4 stars. Came here with a group of 9 for a birthday dinner. Drove past this place hundreds of times and never thought to stop. They have a huge building that can accommodate 50+ parties and even park-let style outdoor seating attached to the building. Our server was on point with our party. He checked in on us and made sure all of our food was correct when it was brought out to us. They didn't mess up a single order. I ordered a beergarita (pictured), honey had a regular and others at the table had mango margaritas. The regular margarita glass was smaller than the mango margaritas. All of the margs we're meh. Nothing to call and Uber over. When trying new Mexican restaurants always start with the carne asada, if their carne asada is not strong, the menu won't be strong either. I had the steak wet burrito and honey had the steak, chicken, and shrimp fajitas. The fajitas came with a lot of veggies and they were good too. Both were good and tasted familiar. Someone in another review said it good enough to go back but nothing to crave and I couldn't agree more. Once we left we found out the same owners of Metro Taqueria own this place. Which is why the food tasted a little familiar. Will definitely come back.

My recent visit to The Mexican Restaurant in Hayward was an absolute delight! After not being there for a couple of years, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had undergone a stunning remodel. The new colonial Spanish vibes create a spectacular aesthetic that instantly caught my eye. For date night, my husband and I decided to sit at the bar, where we were promptly served our drinks. We started off with the Cristalino Tequila flight that was simply exquisite. Since it was a Friday during Lent, we opted for the shrimp quesadilla, which was incredibly tasty and filling. The atmosphere on a Friday night was lively and bustling, with plenty of people enjoying their meals and drinks. I particularly enjoyed the playlist of Mexican music, which added to the overall experience. Overall, The Mexican Restaurant exceeded my expectations with its beautiful ambiance, delicious food, and vibrant atmosphere. I can't wait to go back for another visit

I stopped by here as I was in the area and absolutely loved this place! We ordered a couple of craft cocktails and a few appetizers. The cocktails were delicious and unique and I can’t wait to come back and try the others! The ceviche was fresh and delicious and they were very generous with avocado and shrimp! I usually see other places skimping a bit on ceviche toppings so this was awesome! We also ordered the small tortilla soup, which was very comforting and a little more filling than I had expected. The chicken was cooked well and the broth was flavorful. Other things to note: they have outdoor seating available with heaters above most tables. They also have a large parking with ample parking spaces.

The food wasn't good and very pricey. Long wait to be acknowledged by the weiter and even longer wait to be serve . In addition, this is the only mexican restaurant that do not offer chips and salsa for free. One must purchase a $10.00 small bowl of stale chips and insipid salsa. The main dish was terrible , the meat was overcooked , and the chorizo was hard and old as the tortillas were. The coconut Flan was stale, and the texture was like wet bread. The service was average , and the manager had an arrogant attitude when asked for extra napkins . I do not recommend this restaurant $$$$$
