Nestled in a nondescript strip mall, this family-run taqueria serves up authentic Mexican dishes made from scratch, delivering Mexico City flavors right to your plate.
"A sit-down restaurant in a nondescript shopping plaza in Hayward, Los Carnalitos turns out incredible food even beyond its exceptional tacos." - Dianne de Guzman, Clair Lorell, Paolo Bicchieri
"From the symphonic blend of top-quality flavors in the kitchen to the brightly hued dining room walls decked with Aztec-inspired figures, this family-run spot delivers a taste of Mexico City. The two brothers behind this operation, which started as a wildly popular food truck, present delicacies like huaraches and quesadilla de huitlacoche that rarely appear on other menus in town. Here, quesadillas are made from house-made tortillas, so try the one filled with squash blossom, queso fresco and tomatillo salsa. Tortas are a draw at lunch, while the pambazo—with bread dipped in guajillo sauce and then seared—is divine at all times.The $2 tacos featuring tender suadero and al pastor are a delightful surprise, not unlike their selection of agua frescas." - Michelin Inspector
