Casa Del Toro - Cocina & Tequila

"Came for lunch on a Friday, wasn't too busy, amicable staff and quick service. Food was a solid 4 of 5 as menu doesn't really resemble a cuisine of the title and is more of an American menu, the taste was good albeit not a 5 star. Ambiance was excellent, free parking next door. Would come back."

"Incredible experience!! Wow! Loved our Valentine’s Day celebration! We had Filet Mignon and lobster — no pictures because we DEVOURED IT! Loved our experience here!"

"Wow! Highly recommend coming here for a nicer meal in the East Bay. I ordered two sides for my meal both times I've been here, the ribs and the spicy potatoes. This restaurant makes the best ribs I've ever had: tender meat that falls off the bone and incredibly flavorful spicing with some heat. I've had the ceviche platter here as well, which was excellent and fresh (and I'm not really a seafood person either). Items are labelled on their menu with dietary restrictions in mind. Good wine selection with a full bar. Service is fantastic. Staff is very friendly, attentive and responsive. The only criticism I have is that the acoustics can be a bit loud. This has been my favorite local place I have visited to date!"

"Had lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. Food was amazing and service was great! I love a good fried chicken sandwich and the one here does not disappoint! Chicken was juicy and crispy and the spicy aioli goes well with it! Wife got the Casa Tequila Salad, which was very good as well with the jumbo prawns. They have a good selection of spirits as well. I tried the Peach cider, which was refreshing and went well with my sandwich! There is a kids menu and our toddler had the fideos (noodles with cheese and butter) and she loved it. I would highly recommend this restaurant when visiting downtown Hayward."

"Made a reservation for Father's day brunch and didn't realize that there would be a preset menu for the day, which basically consisting of two courses--a dish from a small selection from their regular brunch menu and two choices for dessert. It was $48/person. It likely is our fault for not looking carefully, but it didn't seem apparent when making the reservation that the menu for the day would be different. Our total came out to be way more than expected because of this. The appetizers were tasty, but portions were a little small, especially for the pork belly. The entrees were very good. Their potatoes were a highlight, perfectly seasoned and very fluffy. The dessert was a bit lacking, in my opinion. The flavor of the flan was a bit bland and not very sweet. Overall, the food was enjoyable. Service could have been a bit better; we had to remind our server that we asked for water a couple of times, and they forgot to take the reservation fee off of our bill until we reminded them. In conclusion, it is worth a try if you go on a regular day so that the prices are not unreasonable and you have more options to select from."
