Accounting for the price of everything, this spot is in par with that trend. The super burrito needed a bit more spiciness. I don’t recall if they asked how spicy so that could have been my fault. Also got chicken quesadilla and Birria. All were tasty.

As someone who moved to Castro Valley from Hayward, I can honestly say that the choices for Mexican food isn’t as plentiful. Im kinda particular about Mexican food because not many places has the more exotic meats choices like cabeza, lengua, and my favorite tripa. So as I was settling in to Castro Valley, I was very happy to have found Tacos El Campo.

I have been here about 10 times in the 7 or so months I have been living here and have enjoyed every meal I ever had. The family that runs the place is very nice every time I come in. They do offer a discount if you pay cash to make sure you disclose that when ordering if you are paying by cash or card.

The food comes out really fast, Id recommend ordering there in person instead of calling in so your food can he hotter.

A MUST try is their vampiros, which I have never seen on a menu before coming here. It is basically a marriage between a taco and a grilled cheese sandwich. I have been to a lot of taquerias and not many places have these on the menu so I cant stress enough that you should give these a try. If I was younger, I could easily put away 5 of these and a big bottle of Mexican coke. If I tried that now, Id be asleep for the rest of the day and probably gain 5 pounds but if you dont care, go for it, it’s a good way to put yourself to sleep.

I have tried their burritos and tacos and they are solid, I usually get tripa or cabeza. Their tacos some with a side of grilled peppers and onions. There is also a good sized salsa bar as well.

While I do miss Hayward, Tacos El Campa has made adjusting to life in Castro Valley much easier. This is my go-to spot for Mexican food and gets my vote for best Mexican spot in Castro Valley.

Stopped for a bite cause I was starving and man did I pick the right place, tacos el compa was 5 out of 5 in service and quality of food. I think I tried one of each taco and the shrimp tostada. The queso Birria was delicious also.
Then at dinner time I told myself I would try the super quesadilla, amazing. Lots of parking and the establishment is very clean. The horchata was so tasteful. Did I mention that I got a michelada? Don’t judge my appetite, lol
Definitely recommend and will revisit when I’m in the area.
