Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Hayward, CA

Kajdien Ahbib Nice waitress that works here. Great big portions. You can make your own plate you want to or order a plate. Reasonable prices. The horchata is a huge portion. The music can be toned down a little but its great. Its an experience you would have to have for yourself.

Jim Wilson Great experience! Authentic and cozy spot with easy parking!

Alberto Mtz The service was excellent, with attentive staff ensuring a pleasant dining experience.

Stepinska Agnieszka “Aki” I was traveling with my daughter and she wanted to get chicken teriyaki. After seeing the good reviews we decided to come here. My daughter got chicken teriyaki & I got shrimp teriyaki with noodles. You do get a lot of food & it is very greasy. My noodles had a bit of too much sauce. It was really cold and drafty inside so wet tried sitting outside but there was only one table right by a busy street. It’s a good place for take out but not sitting in. The restaurant didn’t have a nice ambiance or atmosphere- it is a more order & go place. We wanted a place to sit because we were flying out home so we ended up eating in a car which was a bit messy with all the sauce in my meal.

Parth Savla I love Tin’s Tea Pot! You get this quality food for this price point. I’ve been here a few times and was heartened to see it busier than usual. They totally deserve it! We ordered their vegetable dumplings, a veggie lo mein dish and their rice soup which when combined with the plant was AMAZING!

Wayfarer Vivian “Vivventure” Great family friendly brunch spot. Came in on a Saturday as three adults and a toddler and were seated very quickly. Seating area was quite spacious and the menu felt like a diner menu (in a good way) with a wide range of options. We went with the hungry hobo plate, breakfast sandwich, and the Kitchen Sink omelette. Food came out quickly, was delicious, and had great portion sizes. (And, having parking readily available is always a plus!) Would definitely recommend! Need to come back to try their other Mexican dishes.

Angelina Quiroz My husband is from Honduras, so we love finding places that serve authentic Honduran food. We live in Modesto, so driving all the way to San Francisco for Honduran food is always a mission, that’s why we’re so happy to have La Frontera in Hayward, which is about an hour closer and absolutely worth the drive! We usually order the Pollo Frito with fried bananas, and it is so delicious, crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. I also highly recommend the traditional baleada, the handmade flour tortillas are soft, fresh, and full of that authentic homemade flavor. Our little one loves them too! If you’re in the mood for something refreshing, try the maracuyá (passion fruit) juice. It’s fresh, tropical, and bursting with flavor. And if you prefer something classic, the banana-flavored soda, Tropical, is the bomb! Those are honestly the only two dishes we’ve tried so far, but everything I’ve seen come out of the kitchen looks amazing. The food is always full of flavor and never disappoints. If you’re craving real Honduran food and don’t want to make the long trip to San Francisco or San Jose, La Frontera is the perfect spot. Delicious food, friendly service, and a taste of home just an hour closer!

Ash Russell Dennys Ghost Kitchen, went inside for a to go order, the brisket sandwich does not come as listed, would not recommend! Ick

Amritpal Bhagat **Title: "Delightful Dining Experience at The Habit Burger Grills New Hayward Spot"** I recently visited The Habit Burger Grills new branch in Hayward and was thoroughly impressed. The highlight of my visit was the Teriyaki Char Burger, which was a delightful blend of flavors. The burger was perfectly grilled, with the teriyaki sauce adding a sweet and savory touch that was not overpowering. What really set this meal apart was the unique side option - I opted for half fries and half green tempura beans. The fries were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. However, it was the green tempura beans that stole the show. They were a refreshing change from the usual sides, offering a crispy, light, and flavorful alternative that complemented the burger beautifully. The service at this new location was top-notch. Staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The ambiance of the place was inviting, with a clean and modern interior that made the meal even more enjoyable. In conclusion, The Habit Burger Grill in Hayward is a fantastic addition to the area. Its a place I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal. Whether youre a fan of classic burgers or looking to try something new like the green tempura beans, this place has something to offer. Im already looking forward to my next visit!

Max Sirodan Great place, delicious food, courteous service. It is a pity that the building is small. Portions are large and hearty. We were three and we liked it. I recommend tasting their food and visiting this place. The soups in them are also delicious! We asked him to take the soup home with him. Come and be happy! Thanks for reading my review!:)

Mike Nolan Buffalo Bills is back and better than ever! The food, beer & service is all very, very good! Sat outside with our dog, had a nice, cozy setup and when it got chilly, they turned on the heaters and made it very comfortable for all of us! Cant wait to try everything else on the menu!

Philemon Gonzales Was working in San Francisco. Didnt want to deal with parking hassles to my favorite places there. Decided to try something close to where I was staying. Friendly staff. Helpful. Had a craving. Quick and easy. Did the job. Tasty etc. Will be back.

Hope Lang Some of the best pupusas I’ve ever had! I got the revueltas and the chicken pupusas and they melted in my mouth. The green and red sauces were delicious as well. The workers were so sweet and accommodating to us and let us purchase a bottle of green salsa since it was so good. I would highly recommend stopping here!
