La Victoria Taqueria

I came here specifically to try their famous orange sauce. I ordered a Carne Asada Super Burrito, which is supposed to come with sour cream and guacamole. Unfortunately, mine didn’t seem to have either, even though I paid extra for it. That was pretty disappointing. As for the orange sauce, I have to say I’m not a huge fan. It wasn’t as hyped up as everyone makes it out to be. I personally prefer a good green chili sauce, but the green sauce here wasn’t up to par either—it was runny and not your typical flavorful green salsa. They also didn’t have a roja sauce available, just a pico de gallo/mild pico option for chips, which you have to pay extra for. The burrito itself was okay—nothing spectacular. I also got an El Pastor taco. It was a bit messy and falling apart, though it did sit in the bag for about 25 minutes before I ate it. I could tell it wasn’t cut from a trompo with sliced pieces; it was more chopped up like asada. The flavor was decent, but I prefer traditional sliced pastor. Overall, it was an average experience. Not bad, but not something I’d go out of my way for again

Amazing atmosphere with some great food. I love their chicken quesadillas, chicken burrito, veggie flour quesadilla, veggie burrito plate. Everything I've tried so far at this location and few others in San Jose, and have never been disappointed. The only time I didn't like my quesadilla so much was when I got it delivered on Doordash - but again, this is not to blame on any location, having it delivered means you most likely are having your food after about 20-30 minutes, and its bound to get soggy at that point. The ambience, atmosphere and the service are great too. Keep up the good work.

Will not come here again. Not recommended. Service is extremely horrible. Food is mediocre. I wanted my beans on the side and they say they dont do beans on the side. What restaurant does that? Go up the street to the smaller taqueria and get better service and better food. Only good about this place is the orange sauce. Period.

Been going to La Victoria in Hayward for a long time at their old location. Liked going there. Everything was pretty and prices were decent but once they moved and built their new modern restaurant on Mission, the prices were raised a lot. I guess the cost for the new -pace and inflation, I guess. This location has enough private parking and place is really fancy with lots of lights and can be seen from the main road on Mission Blvd. Can’t miss it. I love their super nacho fries with carne asada meat. Their fries are a little larger but not steak fries. Sometimes, the fries are a little soggy and other times, the fries are crispy and good when it’s soaked with all the ingredients on top. They are not consistent. I like their super flour quesadillas with carne asada as well but it’s more like a super burrito to me. The flour tortilla is cooked or fried and crunchy, just the way I like it. I like their tacos as well. Better eaten at the restaurant as there have plenty of seats and not always full, and you eat everything fresh. I see more people take to go from here. I always get their famous orange sauce in the bottle to bring home so I can add it to my other other dishes. It’s so good and makes my dishes spicy. Don’t leave this place without it. Service here is quick and food is pretty good. When I get that craving, I do come here.

Aug 2025 upped to 5 stars after coming here for years. Very dependable.had a nice shredded chicken tostada, partner hada couple of tacos all under $22 (See recent update)Good and so far a dependable taqueria to sit down and have dinner at. We normally get the burritos and or burrito bowls which are burritos basically without the wrapping. The grilled chicken is really delicious. We also have the watermelon agua fresca and we will undoubtedly return within the next few weeks. Update Oct 4, 2024. Ordered up a couple of super burritos, with salsa, guacamole and sour cream. All of which either thinly applied or non existent. The pineapple agua fresca was perfect. Disappointed tonight. Not usual as we've eaten here at least a dozen times since my initial review and everything was good.

La Victoria Taqueria in Hayward has a nice interior and friendly staff, but the super burrito bowl with pollo asado was disappointing. The chicken was extremely dry and tough, which made it hard to eat. Maybe it was due to takeout, but still unexpected.

This place is terrible. I will never come back. I asked him for restroom, but she said it was for customers only. I was a customer. I wanted to order. Then I changed my mind and didn't order anything. She has no manners. She speaks with great arrogance.

I enjoyed the food very much my bf and I didn’t have to wait that long so that it was my first time go there and the environment was chill like the music they played I like how clean the spot and service so Definitely recommend to go

La Vics has a spacious ambience that invites you to dine in with friends and family. The wide space makes volume not too loud even when it is filled with guests. Staff are super friendly and the service is very fast! You've gotta try their signature orange sauce with any dish you get from their menu. Highly recommend trying this place out! 5/5 - Asada Super Taco - Very generous serving and packed with toppings! Asada was very flavorful and well seasoned. Loved their guac and perfect with their orange sauce. 5/5 - Al Pastor Super Flour - Their quesadilla dish was very filling! I loved the al pastor mix with pineapple, and it was well-salted and seasoned.

Honestly driving down mission you can't miss the place.. I've been wanting to try this spot for sometime and decided to stop by I ordered the burrito, it tasted ok nothing to write home about but I was expecting more left a big void in the flavor department My sate got the enchiladas I mean look at the picture looks freshly nuked and it even looked flavorless. My date said it was ok not to be rude but I can tell she didn't like it Honestly the shinning star is that sauce they promote and are known for. That addition honestly made the food palatable and saved the evening. So many more greatexican food spots in hayward . I don't think I'll come back

first time to this location in hayward! needless to say san jose had a better experience food was ok, they werent willing to make any special requests like making street tacos i got a burrito there and didnt expect the kick in the salsa at the end of every bite the only nice part was the inside since most taquerias are better all around with a not so attractive storefront

The restaurant rennovation is gorgeous! The only gripe I have is how hard and cold the beautiful tile benches are. Other than that, the food is good, not great, but good. The meat could be seasoned a little bettwr but again, not bad. Very clean establishment and decent service. The warm tortilla ships is a nice touch.

Man, I used to really love this place but it just keeps going more and more down hill and the prices keep going up and up. The burritos are getting smaller and sloppier while the prices continue to increase. The only redeeming quality about this place is the orange sauce. And sometimes even the orange sauce is concerning because the consistency/color of the sauce containers are all off which they really shouldn't be. I'm definitely going to be in the market for a new burrito shop.

The restaurant was very clean, lady in the front register was very nice and accommodating. The super burrito with carne asada combined with the sauce, the food speaks for itself. Even bought a bottle of the orange sauce to go. I would recommend again and again. Also, the agua frescas are worth a try. I had the strawberry watermelon and it was refreshing and delicious.

Go up the street to the smaller taqueria and get better service and better food. Only good about this place is the orange sauce. Period.

I've been coming here often off and on over the years, and this is the first time this ever happened to me, no bueno, there should not be any type of foreign substance in food. I tried to put up a video but for some reason it won't allow me too so you all can hear that a rock was in my food, I should of took it back but didn't have time. I am extremely disappointed in the quality of food, especially with the food prices going sky high, the meal was not worth it.

Came here and ordered the Milanesa burrito bowl. It was ready in about 10 minutes and was a bit smaller of a portion than I was expecting. They also charged an extra 75 cents for lettuce without telling me. The milanesa was tender and juicy but the portion was tiny as the pieces were cut up really small to give an illusion that they give you more meat than they actually do. The beans and rice were kind of tasteless and had no flavor. The tomatoes also were pretty flavorless and didn't taste very fresh. Overall, I thought the food here was okay but not worth the $15.

Place is clean. Overpriced though. The reason why we come here is for the orange sauce but if you really want legit Mexican food with reasonable prices, I'd go elsewhere. I also asked the lady if my quesadilla was included because they all looked like burritos, apparently they roll the quesadillas like a burrito which I found odd. She was a bit annoyed with my question. Oh well.

They never disappont, I commend on them especially the flavors. they are very consistent. I ordered my usual Carne asada super burrito and requested to cut it in half. I like this place, good theme and kinda trendy and also their signature orange sauce! It's to die for! My caviet is the location. This establishment has changed their location a year or so but still they are situated by Hesperian boulevard. I used my Waze app but it kept me on the old address. Hopefully they can managed to contact the Waze app so that the customers will not get lost to the new place.

food was kind of disappointing, after La Victoria was recommended by a friend. I tried her bottled orange sauce, and loved the blistering heat of it--but the batch at the restaurant was sort of mildly garlicky. Rest of the food was kinda of meh--my dining companion threw away half his burrito before we left, and my two tacos had a lot of watery lettuce, which made them taste kind of diluted. Wouldn't come back, let alone go out of my way to eat here

Their super flour quesadilla is a must! Make sure you get extra orange sauce too. Everything is good but the only downside is that it's overpriced for what it's worth.

Haven't been here in years. But my wife brought a burrito home from here in the middle of the week and it was so good. We came back again Saturday. The location used to be in a strip mall but now they have their own building Very clean, supported by friendly service. A super burrito was 1350. I admit it wasn't the biggest burrito in the world. Got the Carnitas, which was delicious.

My family and I picked up dinner here. We tried the carne asada and carnita burritos, and the chicken flautas. We thought the food was good, but nothing special. One of us had to go back to ask for the drink that he ordered because they forgot to give it to him. I would give it 3.5 stars if I could.

Pretty decent, however I feel as though the quality has declined. The menu is on the board, and you order at the counter then pick up your order once it's ready, it's all self service. The location is a bit interesting, with some shady individuals outside, but the interior of the restaurant is nice, clean and modern. I mainly come here for the orange sauce, but it was very salty this time. I ordered the nachos, burrito, and quesadilla. The nachos came with ample toppings, however the chips taste like they are store bought and not home made. They weren't the best. The burrito was mostly beans and rice, with very little meat inside. The quesadilla was pretty decent, but nothing too special. Usually everything tasted better with the orange sauce, but since it was salty, it was a little underwhelming. Unsure if it's just this location, the ones in SJ were always pretty solid.

Service was great. Serving, cashier, seating, and kitchen areas look clean and newly remodeled indoor/outdoor. They accepted my mini poodle in the indoor dining area. Place was not super busy--6 customers and 4 more in/out pick-ups. Great for groups! Now let's get down to it -- the food: We got the Carne Asada Plate and shared for 2 people. 1/5 Spanish Rice - dried out and some bits were crunchy as if it had been sitting out under a heat lamp for so long, short grained not long grained 4/5 Refried Beans - there is definitely some fat up in there but good flavor; not bland. 3/5 Carne Asada - flat skirt steak but ligaments and tendons showing. Lacking flavor. Served with shaved lettuce, fresh sliced avocado, and tomato 3/5 Jamaica Drink - I wish it was more tangy for my taste, and it was way too sweet for what I'm used to. They were served out of the traditional glass jars, so that made me interested because they looked very fresh and homemade but definitely would not get again. No free refills which sucks. It was just a stop along the way to a car wash and visiting some friends and it looked decent enough, but I made the mistake of not checking out reviews before sitting down. Good to try but definitely won't be coming back.

Longtime fan love the newish place. They moved to this location at least 2 years ago now! Same good food at this fast casual taqueria in a nice new setting. They whip the food up quick. They have vegetarian options as well as all the carne you can grub on... seriously you can't go wrong. The taco's are amazing!

They got my order wrong. They require me to have more characters. Here they are. The food was ok. They messed my order up. I also got the horchata, she did not stir it. Straight up just dunked a serving spoon and put In a cup. Overall, would not come back. Is this enough characters.

They really need to step up their food quality and service. Ambiance is fine, no different than any other fast-casual restaurant. I've been going to La Vic's for over 10 years now and have watched food portions gradually decrease and quality degrade (was at an average to low level to begin with) while costs increase. I'm worried that they'll start going out of business if this continues. I love the orange sauce and even order boxes of it to share with friends and family. Today, that seems to be the only highlight of this place. My favorites, the super burrito and super nachos, are not what they once were. The taste is diminishing due to lack of quality ingredients, or in some cases, lack of ingredients altogether. Missing ingredients from an order is far too common. Hopefully things improve, and soon!!

I highly recommend this taqueria! The food was awesome! The food was warm and taste yummy, with the right condiments! The aguas frescas had pieces of fresh fruit! We had Jamaica,mango/cantaloupe, and strawberry/watermelon were refreshing. The service was excellent too! The restaurant was inviting with big windows facing Mission Blvd. and seating was comfortable! We had a carne asada burrito, a carne asada super burrito bowl, chicken flautas and a chile relleno! Their prices were very reasonable. We will definitely return soon!

It's been awhile since I've had la Vic's. I've always wanted to try their new building. I will say it's pretty spacious and bright inside. Service was also good and quick. Although I think the quality had gone down for me. First time trying their quesadilla with Al pastor, and it was seeping in grease. It's sad to know that you only get 2 complimentary containers of orange sauce. It might be worth it if you are dining in for unlimited sauce.

What I got : Nacho fries with Carne Asada They gave me 2 sauces, and I think that's the standard amount. Fries were decent, not hot but warm. The amount of toppings on the fries were proportional. Meat was good Orange sauce always ties the meal together. I love going to this place, service was fast this time around but during dinner time wait times can be a decent wait maybe like 15 mins? Ambiance is nice, I really like their tileing on the side of the wall where yiu would wait in line. I think this La Vics is one of the better looking ones in the Bay Area.

Yummy Mexican food with delicious salsas. The orange sauce and verde sauce have a great flavor. The orange sauce has a nice kick. Anything you order will satisfy your Mexican food craving. The service is friendly and prompt. Ample seating.

First time go there with my bf I enjoyed the food a lot got nacho and carnitas burrito it was so yummy, their service was pretty quick didn't have to wait that long so that is a plus. Also the music they play was cool it like a chill vibe.

I can't emphasize enough how much this place could have used a professional interior designer. They picked 3 different types of tile and just put it everywhere including the bench seating. Design aside, it is impeccably clean and I was surprised that it wasn't busy on a Thursday at lunch time. Our food came out fast. They hand you squirt bottles of salsa when you dine in. They charge you for chips but probably for the best. I ordered a regular burrito bowl with grilled chicken and asked to add lettuce and they charged an extra dollar. The grilled chicken was really dry, as if it was a day old. My friend liked the nacho fries but they were messy. My other friend got 3 tacos with cheese and they were huge! The service was super friendly and professional. Just wish the food was better!

As a SJSU alum, La Vic's holds a special place in my heart. This isn't the location that I frequented, however it's much closer to home so that I can get a quesadilla when I'm craving it. The new location looks like a fancy club more than a taqueria. Which I don't feel takes away or adds to the experience. We didn't dine in when we stopped by here last but I did use the restroom. I appreciated how spacious and bright it was. I don't recall it being anything else so I will conclude that it was clean enough lol Most importantly, they have the same menu at all of their locations. The flavors are all there in the food, as well as the orange sauce and the aguas frescas. Yes, there are a ton of delicious taquerias all over the Bay Area. But nostalgia and consistency win me over when I need a delicious steak quesadilla and the famous orange sauce.

Enjoyable Mexican burrito bowl with equally tasty orange and green sauces. The chips are store bought but the salsa that came with the chips was sliced and tasty. Clean, bright dining area. Friendly staff Good for lunch or a to go

I DoorDash three breakfast burritos today. A little hesitant because it was my first time trying this establishment but let me tell you they did not disappoint. I had the chile relleno and it satisfied my craving. We also ordered the ham and egg burrito adding potatoes, it was very fulfilling. I will go in and try a sit down to have more of your delicious food. $50 for 3 burritos but it was door dash so I'm pretty sure it is less in store. Thank you!

I ordered a supero burrito asked for extra cream it didn't have no avocado no cream and really dry

Food is ok, would come again Customer service was nothing special. The biggest reason for my rating was that it was expensive and the person helping me lied to me. I asked if they made their chips and the lady told me yes. While I was eating, one of the other workers came with a box a store bought chips... chips were also not good

This location is so close to me!!! I'm so happy it's nearby and I don't need to go all the way down to San Jose for a La Vics fix! The Suprr Burrito was exactly what I wanted, and the Agua Fresca was refreshing. I don't know why other reviews complain so much, but this location was clean and fine, with good service and plenty of seating.

I had a very concerning experience at La Victoria in Hayward. When I asked if the orange sauce contained nuts (due to my friend's serious allergy), the staff couldn't give us an answer. We were left to gamble with a health risk, which is completely unacceptable. Food safety and allergy awareness should be a basic responsibility for any restaurant.

When in to La Victorias tonight and there was no wait to order. Restaurant is spacious and plenty of seating. Food came out fast. I ordered the burrito bowl (pastor) and it did not disappoint. Orange sauce never disappoints.

We are not local to Hayward, but lived there many years. We were driving home, when we saw this place, it catches your eyes due to all the lighting, and glass windows, the place was PACKED. We decided to make a u-turn to try it out. I am sure glad we did! The service was good, and we got our food fast. My husband got a torta de milanesa and I got a chile relleno burrito. The milanesa torta was a little bland and did not have much flavor but it was decent. Everything tasted fresh and it was well put together. Now, the chile relleno burrito was FIRE. It was very simple, a chile relleno, rice, beans and salsa. It was AMAZING. I cant stop thinking about this burrito, might make the drive to Hayward just to eat here again. We will try something else next time we go as the torta was jst BLAH, so my review is based on the burrito we had. The place is very clean, and everyone is very attentive.

Super clean & spacious location off of mission in Hayward. Took some stars off for service. Older gentleman, cashier very nice and took my order & gave us our drink. Gave me a cup of ice that I requested for. Then we waited for our order. After 10 + min Never called my number. Asked some young girl employees and they saw me, walked away after I asked them , and had the other employee get my order. Was not complete. Had to go back 2 times, one to get utensils then realized after awhile my tortilla chips was not given, went back & said didn't pay for them . They take your receipt so make Sure you know your number. Other than a few employees that are not customer service oriented, La Vics always hits the spot when you have a Mexican food craving.

Two words!!! Fire sauce!!! I love their orange spicy sauce !!! I always have to order a large bottle of it because it's not only good on there burritos which are amazing but I like to keep some for the house to put on other things ... so good!!! If you haven't tried this restaurant I definitely recommend doing so

There are way too many taquerias on the block and on Tennyson. Becomes overwhelming to decide which taqueria to eat at. La Vic started in SJ and has been in Hayward for a while now. People love their orange sauce but personally it's whatever's to me. Everything tasted ok but nothing special. I don't like how their guacamole taste, like skimpy/ mixed with other stuff, not chunky. The nacho fries were so oily that the parchment paper disintegrated and we were eating pieces of parchment and off the red plastic bowl. And upon finishing to clean up, there was a pool of oil on the table.

Super burrito got a downsize. Food quality still tasted the same. Service was fast and the place was clean.

Gotta love La Vic's! Went in during lunch and got a carne asada and pollo asado super burrito. Carne asada was flavorful and delicious! Pollo asado was on the drier side. I asked for rice on the side since I didn't want it in my burrito, but they do not make accomodations.

Hubby and I was in the area and I was getting a little hungry. I decided to stop in to grab something to eat. I heard about their orange sauce and how great it was, so I ordered a bottle of that and their super nachos with chicken. When Hubby and I got home we ate and it was sooo delicious! We really enjoyed the nachos that we got. We came back at another time because Hubby wanted a burrito, so we came to grab a super burrito for him and an enchilada plate for me. In honesty, we both had better. Their nachos the first time we had was amazing, the sauce is bomb, but the burrito was just OK and so was the enchiladas. I was totally disappointed as it was a bit dry. Service there was good though, the staff was really kind and patient with us. Big dining area and a lot of light. We may come back to try something else and definitely getting the orange sauce again, but will not be getting the burrito or enchiladas again.

It's been a few years since I've eaten here so I decided to give it a go. I ordered a Super Taco w/ Carnitas. It definitely lived up to its name...lol. Full of meat and tons of ingredients. Was extremely good. I also ordered the Super Burrito w/ Chicken. It was pretty good. It comes with sour cream but there were no traces of it in there which was disappointing. I liked the tortilla. The orange sauce is good. Not too spicy but has a slight kick to it. My Fiancé got a Super Burrito Bowl w/Carne Asada. She liked it but thought it was pretty small for the price we paid. All in all I think it's a good place to eat.

Terrible! Bad food, bad service, and you have to pay for chips and salsa. I feel robbed after eating here. No coming back!

Used to be super good, in fact just my order from last week was quite good (4 stars I would say). But today, I ordered the super flour quesadilla and got something much smaller than i am used to compared to even the one from last week it was about half the size. Also much messier and wasnt fully closed, seemed to be more of a taco than a super flour quesadilla. Not a good experience

Super burrito w/ carne asada was okay -- for my personal preference, it was missing onions, cilantro, and I would have wanted the traditional red and green salsa to go with it. They provided a lot of meat which was nice and none of it was chewy or icky. There were parts that I didn't eat as it was just tortilla. The orange salsa that is supposed to be what they're known for I think was not bad, but I usually don't opt for sauces that look like that - it definitely added flavor that the burrito was lacking just on its own. This was a to-go order and I did find that the containers their salsa came in was kind of cool - its a film you peel off -- some of them were really difficult to peel though so I would stab the top with something sharp, but these took up less trash by not having those plastic lids. I was originally wanting tacos, but those also were not offered with cebolas y cilantro at all which I found strange. I still think LA has the best Mexican food - I typically would get mine from street stands or food trucks.

(2.5 out of 5) (Hayward and San Jose) The food here is not good, a 1/5, the ambiance at the new Hayward place isn't bad, and the service is alright, but the orange sauce... 5/5! I'd come here just to get the orange sauce then go to another restaurant and actually get food! When you come get the orange sauce.. let them know Rothyy sent you!

Whenever we're in town we make sure to stop by and stock up on Orange Sauce. 6 bottles of the liquid gold is now safe and sound at home with us after a 5-hour car ride tied up in a bag of ice. As always, the restaurant and restroom were spic and span.

Well the new place is clean outside and inside and the bathroom is immaculately super clean compared to all the Mexican restos out there. That deserves 5 stars i deed. Now the food and service :)...I ordered the super taco al pastor and that was delicious.and decided to order the beef and see if it will satisfy my Super Taqueria taste buds But it was not the same even tho it looks the sane :). My friend got the al pastor huge burrito and no complaints coz yes the al pastor was yummy and we had the juices which really good. I gave them 4 stars for cleanliness and friendliness but please give us free chips or make a combo with it thank you kindly . Went back and tried the food again and it was okay this time. :)
