Metro Balderas Aztek Food

Basic counter service. Order off the menu on the wall, pay at the counter, take a seat, and they bring your order to you. I had 4 shredded beef takos. I'll describe them as flautas. Good flavor. I liked the 2 salsas on the left. The two on the right were good but common. I'll look forward to trying more menu items.

I'm addicted to the Taco Arabe. The meat tasted like it had a middle eastern flair; I've never had anything like it in a Mexican restaurant. Watch out for that guacamole salsa though, it's got a bite! These were also the best Birria Dip Tacos I've tried. Mind you, I'm not a connoisseur, but I never understood the hype. Now I do! The street tacos are ok, but Birria and Tacos Arabe are amazing! I'll come back for those in a heartbeat!

I heard about this place through a friend. I had a passed by the location before they opened always anticipating and hoping the Mexican food was good. Let me tell you, delicious! We had a little bit of everything Asada Al pastor Árabe Our favorites were the Al pastor with the bits of pineapple. So yummy! As a foodie sometimes you don't know how to stop so I ordered a torta that I ended up eating the next day. Only regret was not getting Al pastor. Great service, friendly people at the mom and pop taco spot. Will come again. :)

Big place with good tacos. I really enjoyed the tacos Al Pastor. The are the real deal, made on a spit-grilled trompo with the pineapple on top. Salsa bar has good options for decking out your tacos. The Taco Arabe wasn't my favorite. This place reminds me of a taco restaurant you'd find in Mexico, right down to the scribbled out menu items. Staff was really friendly.

The best birria tacos I have had in Denver! The tacos are super fresh and the lady is super nice. Amazing hot sauce choices. Additionally, can choose the type of protein in your birria taco. A fast casual restuarant.

Amazing food! Really taste homemade true authentic Mexican food, literally straight outta mom's kitchen highly recommend this place!! Staff is so nice and so friendly!!

Had lunch here today after seeing this place on social media and WOW! The elote was sooo good and the quesabirria was AMAZING! Also the restaurant was so clean!

What a hidden gem in Aurora. I saw this place come up a few times, drive by it a few times, and saw it on social media so I just had to try it. The food here is super delicious. I ordered a barbacoa burrito and when I unwrapped it, I had my doubts because when restaurants serve a huge portion it's usually ok at best. The barbacoa is very good (full of flavor), it had rice, beans, cheese, and it did not need any additional help like hot sauce. Its perfect the way it is. I will definitely be returning to try more.

The only thing holding Metro Balderas Aztek Food from the illusive 6th star is that I couldn't order a beer with my lamb dip takos! They shun the letter "c" with phonetic simplicity across their menu.Joking aside - awesome food, and friendly service. This taco shop is worth your time! Just get the takos to go and buy a 6 pack at the convenience store across the street. Good living!!!

Admittedly I'm more of a burrito person, not huge on tacos. Hence I did not realize they were so small! But delicious. Will go again. Three tacos is not a meal, though it was under $10. Next time I will get more food from this place. The salsas were very fresh and tasty.
