I literally have lived five minutes away from this place for over five years and I can't believe this is my first time coming here. I ordered a torta and wowwww just woww. So goooood. I will be back to try the menudo and chilaquiles for sure.

Me and hubby went not long ago because I was craving a torta! The tortas were SO good! The flavor was there, the tortas were huge, and the service was great. Oh, and lastly, their Jamaica was delicious too; considering that I'm pretty picky with my Jamaica, this one was delightful! We are definitely going back.

A little hole in the wall with great food and excellent customer service! We orders the cubana- the bread was so soft and the meats were super tasty. We also had a taco de suadero- soooooo good! I highly recommend and know I'll be back soon.

Went there on a slow evening and i dont know how it wasn't crowded since it was friday after working hours. The food was sooooo good my husband and i got tortas and a gordita to try and everything was fantastic. All food was fresh, my daughters quesadilla was made with a fresh hand made tortilla which was delicious. The decor and ambience was also great, they were playing music and this is the closest to Mexico city food in the Bay Area so 10/10

Finally tried out this place out and was not disappointed. They have a small parking lot with less than 10 spaces, but there's also street parking available. They have a cute photo op area with a buggy right as you walk in. They have lots of tables which makes it a great place for groups. I got the Torta "El Chino" which was HUGE, I could barely finish half. It did have a lot of flavor which surprised me. I would decide it'll order again or try another torta, but probably will share with someone next time. My brother got the machete "el Juanga" which also had good flavor, but I felt it was missing more cheese. The person taking the orders was nice and gave good explanation of the dishes and gave recommendations. I thought it was a bit pricey, but overall I would return and recommend if you want to try Mexican food based out of Mexico City.

If you're in the mood for a HUGE, filling, delicious torta, La Casita Chilanga is the spot! The fillings are piled high with so much flavor, and bread is toasty and soft on the inside. My bf and I each got a torta but they are easily shareable. I've been craving a good torta Cubana and I've been severely disappointed with some other places I've tried. I went for the Cubana and OMG...every bite was as satisfying as the last. and I devoured half (the small half), because I also got a Gordita... another hitter! The shell was crispy, the filling was hot, cheese was melty. Hella good! I was expecting a small gordita... nope! Big portions! The ladies were very nice. We actually walked up to the counter to order, but they gave us menus and told us they would come by and take our order since we were eating there. We were given chips and green salsa. Later they offered us an orange one. Both were good. The green was actually the spicier one of the two. Nice kick. The only "complaint" is that we were given a bowl of broken chips. The second bowl of chips was better. They wrapped up our tortas when we asked to take it to go. The place was pretty full. I think maybe only a table or two were available. (It was about 7pm on a Sunday). The place isn't a huge space either tho. It's worth mentioning that most tables had bowls of barbacoa, It has me interested in trying it the next time. I'm definitely coming back!

La Casita Chilanga finally opens in the vacated Southern Flavors' space. Interior similar with a new ambience. Speciality is Mexico City street food. May have tried their taco truck on the peninsula. Upon entering, was greeted & seated. Associate helped in ordering since vocabulary weren't the usual. Offerings (menu in Spanish): tortas, burritos, tacos, machetes, alambres, garnachas, gorditas, pambazo, Bebichas (drinks)... Eats: machetes-El Ricky M (De Suaperro Y Queso Jaldra 16.95) suadero (brisket meat) & cream cheese. -machete is a long corn tortillia that looks like a quesadilla. Small pieces of suaperro with lots of cream cheese within. ate it a bite at a time, using a knife to cut. *meat tender, not juicy nor flavorful -comped thick fried tortilla tasted authentic, commercially made. Salsa & red salsa was addictive, hot -small salad tasted fresh with lettuce. Tomato, avocado. Drink: Tepache (pineapple L. 4.50) aqua feesca -tasted earthy, little if any sugar added. -hearsay this drink very popular in Mexico City. -sampled temporada (tamarindo) & jamaica, slightly sugary & earthy. Pass on Horchata cuz too sweet. 4.5 stars good value. Doubt it would have traveled well. Food isn't fancy, basically street food. Tables mostly filled with Mexican Americans when i left. Hispanic Heritage Month: 9/15-10/15.

Portions are huge! Got the super aguila torta and shared with my sister. All the meats blended together so well no question that the food is top notch! Service is great too they're kind, don't be intimidated by the all Spanish menu they speak English and can help you pick out the right plate you're looking for. The restaurant is well set up, lots of room and they have half of a Volkswagen Bug and a back drop of "El Ángel" that makes a cool photo opp! One thing I think they can improve on and is why I didn't give a 5 star is perhaps investing in some AC or some type of cooling system because it was hot humid in there, pretty unpleasant while eating. Outside wasn't nearly as hot compared to how thick the air felt in there. But I pulled through for the food which is 100% worth it! New Hayward gem, very authentic and delicious. Returned on Saturday to try out the barbacoa de chivo which was delicious and to my surprise they added a big blue fan to keep us cool lol!! Shout out management for making that happen!! 5 stars
