There was a living social deal so I thought I would give this place another try. I mean it has been about 10 years since I ate ate the place and they have even changed the name to Asian fusion so why not give them a shot. Ordered the garlic veggies (good), the garlic green beans (yum), veggie fried rice (ok), and the veggie chow mein (not worth the calories to me but not bad), and the vegetarian hot and sour soup (very good). Although I will probably still be on the search for better Chinese food, this place is a great fall back and right down the street from my house.

Tacos Uruapan Taqueria Mexicana
Category:
Mexican
In our house mexican food is just called food. Although a little pricy (2.99 for a veggie taco) they stuff those suckers pretty full and you can make due with 2-3 depending on how hungry you are. They have vegetarian options that would please any veggie who appreciates a good salsa ranchero - go vegan by saying no sour cream and no cheese (don think it is needed anyway). If only you werent 10 miles from my house I would frequent this place any time I didnt feel like cooking.
For only two dollars a person you can have a long walk, look at a bunch of different animals, look at historic buildings, and spend the day with the family. During the winter they have monarch butterflies hibernating in the trees- thousands of them.
Only 2 miles away and a yelp deal - how could not I try this place out? Well call me picky but I expect my Aloo Gobi to taste well... like aloo gobi. All of the food tasted a little bland - Hubby had the paneer tikka masala- not bad, but nothing special. The samosas didnt have much flavor - just an overfried potato. We ordered it hot (but not too hot) meaning American/mexican hot not Indian phaal - and what we received was totally mild. I have a yelp deal for their other location so I will give them another try and press the need for spice. I would say 2.5 - but I will round up to a 3, but I much prefer Tandoor down on Mission.

7 bucks for a veggie wrap is not terrible. It was tasty- although could have used more hummus and I will be back since it is right down the street from my mamma's house. Although she enjoyed the chicken kabobs- she opted not to get rice when she went and got salad instead and said she still felt hungry - I wasnt necessarily hungry after the wrap but I wasnt full either-- so I suggest making it a meal or getting one of the plates.

People definitely come here for the beer. I have been here three or four times simply because my mother lives up the street. Problem-- I dont drink, which means just okay food. They do have a blackbean burger and a veggie sandwiches as well as a garden salad- so they are veggie friendly which is a plus.
I have had the same server 3 of the 4 times and she was great. Last night I didnt see her working and the service was terrible.

For some reason I always want indian food at like 3 in the afternoon, which always results in a sad face since indian restaurants in general close between lunch and dinner. Could it be true is this an Indian restaurant that is open ALL day? Color me excited. So at about 4pm head over to this place with the hubby and the child. Find a small buffet and a small menu- I hate buffets of all kinds, so I order veggie samosas (surprisingly spicy-- ut oh we ordered the food extra spicy we may be in trouble later) and the chutney was GOOD!, bhindi masala, but ask for the tikka masala sauce (they complied making hubby very happy), and the aloo ghobi (yum). Thankfully not too spicy, but could have been a little spicier.
Lots of food for a decent price. Definitely will be back - best I have had so far in the Hayward area, but will keep up my search as well.

Loved the chocolate tasting! Completely informative and the owners are quite nice. They have chocolate for everyone, but man are they pricey --

I love the fact that they have a TON of vegetarian friendly options, but I definitely have had better. They do have parking - YAY and they do have a lot of seating. The salsa was pico de gallo, the cheese enchilada sauce was gross (glad that is what hubby ordered), the tamales were quite tasty, the beans were okay, and the rice was good. I would go back here if I was in the area, but I live about 15 miles away and I am not driving out of my way for this place.

Why You Should Read My ReviewsI'm an average vegetarian
The staff was nice and this is essentially the only yogurt place in town so I am sure I will be back, but man if we get a pinkberry or a red mango in town I am so there.
