Metro Balderas

I'm already a regular at their Willow St. location--this place is an improvement on that! I'm thrilled to have the same menu in an all-indoor setting. Tacos al pastor ($1.25 on Wednesdays), huaraches, and chips & salsa (free) are great as always. You still order at the counter and get your food brought to the table of your choosing. There's a TV instead of loud music. It's easier to relax with the traffic shut out from the colorful dining room. I'm making this my go-to taqueria from now on

Great menuQuick service Fresh flavors the cilantro sauce was excellent and a bit spicy

Authentic Mexican food ! Had tacos al pastor ! So flavorful with pineapple of course ! Fast service ! Nice authentic ambiance. First time at this location. Lots of parking. My friend had the carne asada plate . It was tasty !I will return !

Service here was great. Everyone spoke perfect English and I think food is authentic. Ambiance is nothing to talk about. You order at the counter, and they bring the food to your table. Surprisingly my meal came with a side of chips and salsa. I asked for water and it was served in a small plastic cup. The workers there make good eye contact but I guess I should've hollered for a refill.Unfortunately, their carne asada plate just didn't do it for me. The beans and rice were standard. The beef was charred well, but it didn't get much flavor. I tried putting the green sauce and other sauces but it just didn't work for me. It came with fresh handmade tortillas though and you have the option for corn/flour. They came piping hot.I still like this place, and I want to order more familiar dishes like tacos next time. Maybe try their burrito or mix/match various items. I almost gave this place 3 stars for lack of flavor but it could just be my savory palate.

If you're craving Mexican cuisine, this place is a solid option. Of the three locations I've visited, this one stands out as the best and most spacious. It offers more accessible parking and better lighting, and the staff is friendly and helpful.On this occasion, I ordered a vegetarian burrito and requested to add an egg (which they accommodated without any issue) to have a vegetarian "breakfast burrito. " My friend ordered a pambazo, and as you can see in the photo, you will not go hungry.The portions are generous, the prices are very affordable, and the dishes I've tried have always been well-seasoned. It's an added bonus that they provide two bottles of homemade sauces--one green and one red.

I ordered a torta of milanesa and it was delicious . Love the fun decor and mural painted walls.

Bienvenido, greetings by the staff as I came by on a Thursday morning and the interior has a warm ambiance surrounded with array of Mexican memorabilia collection including photos of Cantinflas and lucha libre wrestlers along with a large plasma screen a great place for families and party goers. Menu is bilingual and easy to order at the front counter. I chose pambazo a Mexican chorizo/potato sandwich similar to torta add $1.50 for fries and for drinks orange juice. I was quite surprised by the size it was more generous with all the fillings comes with chorizo, potato, shredded lettuce, onions, garlic, slaw and layer with guajlio chili sauce. It was more than fulfilling and definitely appetizing es muy deliciso great for brunch or late night snacks. Pambazo is my kind of dish for its authentic Mexican style meal and every bit of it so amazing a real bombshell. My go-to would definitely come back ample parking in a small tightly knit shopping center.

Rating this place a 3.5 rounding up to 4. There's a small parking lot in front of the restaurant and the interior is clean and spacious with plenty of seating.I ordered the al pastor super burrito which was around 7-8" long. There was a good amount of meat in there (not an insane amount, but they don't skimp), and the al pastor was pretty tender and was flavorful. The rice was a bit too soft for my preference but overall the burrito was good. I also tried the steak which was a bit dry and prefer the al pastor. The salsas here were alright and nothing special.The value for the burritos is great with the super burritos being around $11. Definitely would come back because that's a steal nowadays.

3.5 stars but rounding up to 4. The tacos were above average and the quesadilla was decent. It was a hot day and I was hoping for some fresh OJ which they unfortunately did not have. The murals on the wall were cool, the music was fun and it felt like being in Mexico while we were there.

Favorite taqueria in the bay! Al Pastor is amazing And the overall atmosphere is always lively + wholesome. Only thing I personally think could be a bit better is their salsa. But the meat itself is enough to carry the flavor.
