Arteaga's Food Center - Hayward, CA

Everybody knows that if there’s a state in the US that really loves Mexican fare, it’s got to be California. It’s the home of the country’s largest Hispanic population, with about 14.4 million.

A huge chunk of this number is composed of Mexican immigrants and they are responsible for the ongoing love America has for Mexican food such as tacos, burritos, carnitas, and so much more.

It’s no wonder that Arteaga’s Food Center, a Mexican grocery store in Hayward, CA continues to thrive despite the presence of big, imposing chain supermarkets in the Bay Area.

The store includes a Mexican bakery, which offers delicious breakfast and snack staples that everybody loves.

• Pan Dulce

All kinds of specialty breads are also included in the bakery’s selection.

• Jericalla
• Banderitas
