If you find yourself returning to the South Bay from Berkeley some evening,
stop off in Hayward at  => La Imperial <= and have some GOOD MEXICAN
FOOD!

Finally, I have found a good, West-Los-Angeles-style Mexican restaurant.  The
basic flavor of the place is lots of good Mexican foor for cheap.  The key item is
a *giant* burrito, about 4" by 9", chock full of rice, beans, meat, . . .  and only
$2.25.  The atmosphere is kind of fun, too.  Although the dining room is
basically a bare room, the waiters do a lot of clowning around, leading the crowd
in songs, etc.  We were sufficiently impressed to buy a dozen tamales ($7.00) to
bring home.

To get there, get off highway 17 in Hayward at A Street ("downtown").  Go east
about a mile until it starts getting downtownish;  Jog right, over to C street;  and
continue east a few more blocks to approximately 960 C Street.  They were open
past 9PM on Sunday night.

In Oakdale there are two mexican restaurants.  One is on the main drag on your
right just before you make the left turn toward Yosemite, and is only so-so.  The
other, Romero's, is one block behind that (i.e. on the next street over parallel to
the main drag.  They have the best Chimichangas I have ever tasted; crisp,
tasty, and smothered in guacamole and sour cream.  I've eaten there three times
now and the quality has never let down.  The Chimichangas come in two sizes
(large and huge), and two flavors (chicken and beef, I think); the prices are
around $3.50 and $4.50 for the two sizes.  They also featue a reasonable selection
of mexican beers ...
