Metro Balderas 1

With many taquerias available in San Jose, it's so hard to choose just ONE favorite place. One of our recent finds was Metro Balderas and it easily became one of the places we would dine at again. My go-to protein is al pastor and I'm happy to say that the al pastor here is absolutely delicious. It's tender and deeply seasoned, topped with pineapple to balance it all with some sweetness. They also offer a taco deal on Wednesdays as well so if you didn't get your taco Tuesday fix, THIS is your place.There is parking on the side with 4 spots but you could also park down the street as well!

I stopped by Metro Balderas for a quick lunch before heading back to the office.I ordered a burrito and it was made well; study and grilled. My only complaint was the Al Pastor since it was lacking in flavor this time. In general the service was quick and they bring your food to you if you dine-in. Also, free chips if you dine-in!

This was a very authentic Mexican restaurant with traditional ingredients. Al pastor has always been my favorite so I was excited to try the Al pastor tacos. It's probably better to go on Wednesday for cheaper Al pastor tacos. Overall, the tacos reminded me of tacos el gordo with the style of Al pastor. I wish there was more pineapple ingredients. It came with an order of chips and salsa. All of the salsas are very spicy.

If you need a quick and delicious bite, look no further. Metro Balderas (both locations) never disappoints with their great tacos and burritos. I personally love getting the lengua but they are known for the al pastor. This is also one of the more affordable taco spots in the area and they really pack the tacos with meat! I feel so lucky to have them in my neighborhood!

SOOO GOOD!! The el pastor tacos are yummy! I can't recommend them enough. They give a solid amount of meat, the sauces are great (esp the red one), and the pineapple with it is chefs kiss. Parking is kinda hard to find but I recommend driving down the street where Martha's Kitchen is, I was able to find a good amount of street parking there.

Tacos and burrito were okay. Good customer service. Limited parking space, street parking is available.

Wow, came here to try out their tacos and they were amazing! I love corn tortillas much more than flour, and for some reason I can't find very many places that do corn around where I live! So was super excited to get the corn tacos here. The prices are great too - I paid about $10.50 for three tacos! Parking directly across the street is tough but there are plenty of spots if you drive a block or two away.

We are finishing up our Halloween night and found this place via Yelp. The reviews looked promising and I was craving tacos. The al pastor is really good and has diced pineapple which makes them super good. I give the Al pastor a solid 9/10. The carne asada is even better and I'm picky when it comes to carne asada. The carne asada was a 10/10, salsa verde tops it all off and some Jamaica for the win. Definitely glad I found this place.

By far the best taqueria i've been to in San Jose! I haven't been to a place with better Al pastor or carne asada tacos yet. The pastor tacos are $1.35 on wednesdays and the pineapple pico is delish. 10/10
