Marjan and I were searching for a new taco house, wanting another establishment's take on the treasured breakfast taco. At the 1604 and Bandera area, we read reviews on Yelp for nearby restaurants, and decided on Metro Taco Stop. The restaurant is on the corner of Prue and Bandera within a strip center of varied retails, plenty of parking fronting the eatery. In truth, we almost passed the restaurant, given the diminutive signage on the front wall. Entering, one notices a well maintained space, recently painted, with perhaps 20 tables for patrons. Unlike some Mexican food restaurants, the decor is more contemporary, eschewing the common decor found so commonly. Facing the patrons one sees an order counter, with menu above the counter. Foods are ordered, and taking a number, items are delivered to the patrons. We are impressed with the friendliness and good cheer of the two staff working the counter. Behind the counter, Raul Avalos, proprietor and chef is seen working the stove. We learned that the restaurant had been in service for 12 years, and the website advertised a different take, a refreshing offering of traditional Mexican fare. Our taco choices today: machacado, carne guisada, bean and cheese, and chicken fajita, all on flour. The machacado we considered comparable to any other we had enjoyed elsewhere, typical innards, typical spicing. The carne guisada was of cubes of beef, the sauce somewhat bland, and in my opinion somewhat heavy on grease. The bean and cheese was a cut below what i had enjoyed at most other restaurants. The chicken fajita, one of our all time favorites, was a major disappointment: excessively laden with bell pepper and onion, and light on the fajita, light on the minimal seasoning. We have our number one Mexican restaurant (review can be read on Yelp), and we measure offerings compared to that standard. I was raised on delicious Mexican food, literally the food that Mom and Grandma made, ergo my two frames of reference. We really wanted to like Metro Taco Stop, and reading reviews of other Yelpers, many patrons do enjoy their offerings. We have to honestly mark the restaurant with 3 stars. read more

4 Stars because the service is always friendly, prompt and the food comes out very quickly. The staff is very attentive. Most of the food is good, but the beans I had to remove 1 star. They have a tin-y taste like if they came from a can or rehydrated, extremely bland. Everything else is great. read more

I was disappointed with my experience at Metro Taco Stop. My enchilada plate was mediocre at best. I had good memories of the tacos. The food was just okay and I will just get tacos the next time I think about eating there. read more

Excellent customer service. No other customers were present during my visit, this could be due to the location. It is tucked away in the corner. The fajita tacos were ok. The beef used was similar to that used for pepper steak. Clean establishment. read more

I'm giving this place one star because of slowwwww service. My boyfriend and I went in and we waited about 15 minutes for water and 25 minutes for chips and salsa. The food didn't come out until about an hour later and we only ordered the fideo loco and some tacos. Slowest service I've ever had in my entire life. I tried to give this place a second chance because the first time I came here, an ordered 2 bean and cheese tacos and those took 30 minutes for a to-go order. No refund or discount was offered. It kind of looked like the cashier forgot to hand the ticket to the kitchen. Our drinks were empty and they AVOIDED eye contact. I'm never returning to this place. Don't waste your time here. read more

One of the most authentic Mexican establishments I've been to in Texas. Wife had Menudo Sopas and Tripas. I had Enchiladas Verde. All scrumptious. An almost out of the body experience in the food arena. Can't wait to come back on our next trip to San Antonio. read more

Metro Taco Stop - Three eggs, beans, potatoes, and tripas taco guacamole, and onions. - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Tacos were great! Service was quick! Nice and easy little spot! A little bit hidden but a gem!

Pickup orders only, no dine in which is smart in the time of covid. All employees are wearing masks and they provide hand sanitizer at the entrance for you to use before entering. Service was super quick and friendly but the food was just okay. The menudo wasn't bad but just seemed to be missing something even with the lime and onions added. The carne guisada was super bland and it seemed that the meat wasn't stewed long enough to give it the carne guisada texture and flavor. We did enjoy the mini tacos al pastor though. The al pastor tacos were flavorful and the meat was tender. I just wish that I could say that everything I ordered was great but just a note to all, skip the carne guisada and go with their street tacos. read more

This is my first time here. I am very impressed. The salsa was so on point that I want to buy a jar to take home!!! Everything I had tasted great. Well...actually just bought an 8oz of salsa. Ok back to the review...great tasting. It's a small restaurant but geez you will not be disappointed. The beans have a lot of flavor. And they are not skimpy on the avocado, as you can see on the chalupa. read more

Service was not acceptable they charged me $36 for 4 tacos and then would not give me back the difference. Wanted me to get the police involved for a $12 difference. Tbh no need to come here. It was empty and an embarrassment that they couldn't charge me back. Honestly less then one star food was nasty and rushed read more

I'm so Caucasian that I make Bing Crosby and The Rhythm Boys look like Ladysmith Black Mambazo, so I'm wholly unqualified to comment on the authenticity of any food other than boiled potatoes. As I drooled over a plate of barbacoa and eggs at Metro Taco Stop -- a quaint breakfast/lunch Mexican joint on the Northwest side of town -- an older patron smiled at me as if to say, "You know the good stuff, kid!" I was in an uncharacteristically social mood, so I struck up a conversation with the gentleman regarding the authenticity of the scrumptiousness sitting before me. Me: Esto se ve deliciouso, no? Him: Hiciste una sabia eleccion! Tienen la mejor barbacoa este lado de la ciudad. Me: Es autentico? Him: Mas cerca se puede llegar a la barbacoa Mexicana real dentro de las 300 millas. That last claim is debatable, as I'm sure many taquerias on the Westside offer barbacoa just as delicious and authentic, but I appreciated his insight and enthusiasm. My experience with Metro Taco Stop is limited to breakfast service, but I was so impressed that I plan to return many times for breakfast and lunch. The barbacoa served here is indeed the stuff of dreams: tender, silky strands of heaven suffused with melted fat and collagen from the "cachete," or cheek of the cow. My plate came with the standard additions of fresh cilantro, minced white onion, and a generous serving of lime wedges. I was impressed with the portion of meat, which yielded three full tacos. The cubed breakfast potatoes and refried beans that accompanied the plate were fine, if unspectacular. I squirted several dollops of incendiary housemade habanero salsa on the potatoes, transforming them into something worth savoring. Too much is never enough for the Mysterious Ryan M., so I ordered a machacado taco a la carte. It was a San Antonio Tex-Mex breakfast staple done right: strands of shredded beef, perfectly scrambled eggs (not too soft, not too hard), diced tomatoes, onions, and chunks of fresh vein-in jalapeno. The flour tortilla was soft enough to be palatable but sturdy enough to contain the various salsas I added (tomatillo, roasted tomato/jalapeno, the aforementioned habanero) and juice from the tomatoes. Is Metro Taco Stop the best place for a Mexican breakfast in San Antonio? The competition is fierce, particularly on the Westside, so probably not. Is it the best place for a Mexican breakfast on the predominantly white Northwest side of San Antonio? Quite possibly! Chef/owner Raul Avalos certainly has the culinary gravitas and business acumen to run a great restaurant. Prior to Metro Taco, he led the kitchen at many restaurants in Mexico, including an upscale sushi bar and a Brazilian churrascaria. Judging by his amiable interactions with customers, many of them undoubtedly regulars, I think he's found his niche here in San Antonio. *You might be surprised to learn that I speak Spanish somewhat fluently. How can this be? The answer is simple: He, the Antichrist, will speak many languages, but not one word of Latin will come from his lips. This is true, for I always struggled with the Etruscan and Phoenician alphabets. Actually, I learned Spanish in college by watching "Destinos: An Introduction to Spanish," a video learning tool disguised as a dull telenovela wherein Mexican and South American characters speak very slowly (e.g., "Ho-la, mi lla-mo Rac-quel Rod-ri-guez. Don-de es-ta tu perr-o, Be-to?"). See link below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWXjP7BLKZM read more

Great food great friendly service and reasonable prices. Employees are extremely nice and helpful! I'll be back!

We absolutely love Metro Taco! The only complaint would be there's no dinner hours! Service is great and the owner is so sweet. Hopefully they open one in Boerne soon as we'll be moving there. We'll miss this place though. read more

Great, fresh and homemade tacos made by Raul. It was delicious and great customer service. 10 out of 10 recommend.

We stopped by on our way to a meeting off Bandera. Great 'DF' style taco & sopes. It's very popular with its regulars. After having a most generous taco de picadillo I can see why! We're coming back to try their breakfast! read more

Stopped in yesterday for a quick bite. My husband got the potato and chorizo taco and a bean and cheese. I got the miga and bean and cheese. The bean and cheese were delicious. The tortillas were great. The chorizo and potato according to my husband was fantastic. The red salsa was some of the best I have had in a long time. The migas taco was super plain. I wouldn't order it again. The service was good. Staff was friendly. The place was REALLY clean. They also had a good health read more

Born and raised South Texan, so I'm pretty picky when it comes to breakfast tacos. This place seriously makes some of the best. The tortillas are perfect, the salsa has great flavor and just the right amount of heat. The eggs are always cooked perfectly and the chorizo is so good. These are some of the best breakfast tacos in San Antonio. A must try. read more

Love this spot!!! They have wonderful customer service, their staff is always joyful and very hospitable. The taste of everything I have tried has been delicious - from their chilaquiles to their menudo to their breakfast tacos! I took breakfast tacos to work one day and everyone loved them and asked where they were from. I think so highly of this place! read more

I'm giving three stars only because my husband enjoyed his tacos. We ordered carne asada with grilled onion and avocado and potato egg and bacon. My tortilla was really cold and missing the avocado. Barely had onions or couldn't tell there was any. The carne asada was definitely missing something. My husband enjoyed his tacos but needed salt. Instantly my stomach turned. Don't think I'll be going back. read more

This place is absolutely amazing. I'm from down south and it's been a pain to find some good quality authentic tasting mexican tacos. Their Asada is to die for, their barbacoa tacos phenomenal. I highly recommend coming here if you're looking for tasty food. read more

On our way back east, we crashed locally in San Antonio before heading out to Houston. After being told that Mexican food isn't kicking it over here in comparison to what I've had or to neighboring major cities, I was told about better than decent, good homemade tacos and platters at a spot nearby. I'm from the east coast, we have Waffle House -- an inexpensive and quick homemade breakfast spot littered all throughout southern MD, VA, and all the way down to the south-- and Metro Taco is just like them. Now, portions are much larger given that we're in the great big state of Texas! My large order of horchata (a large cup holding a little less than a wine bottles worth of liquid) was $3 and the tacos weren't the small flour tortillas... it's the size of my face. Basically to say... come eat some bomb tacos made hot to order! Chicharrón with egg was so so crispy and delicious, bacon or chorizo with egg is my go to. read more

Metro Taco is a quick, reliable, affordable restaurant that my family frequents (every single week) and we love their breakfast tacos! The chilaquiles are THE BEST, carne guisada and barbacoa are also great choices. I like bean and papa as well as the chilaquiles.

Huaraches are fire.. The tacos and lemonade are good, but pretty average to other spots. The habanero salsa is one of the best I've had in Texas. If you're nearby this is a worry pit stop read more

Our first time here and yet after taking to the owner they have been open nearly 8years. It was great hearing their story and culture from coming from outside Mexico City. Their food is delicious and full of flavor. Hands down a must go to for the freshest tacos you have ever had and their authentic original food. Hell even the rice and beans were so much better than other places. This is definitely a place we will continue to come back to even having to drive 20+ minutes to get to. Please support our locally family owned restaurants. This one gets all thumbs up. read more

OMG, this is my new favorite taco place! The tacos are excellent! Bean and cheese is great, in corn or flour tortillas. The papa ranchero taco is full of delicious tasty potatoes and more than enough for a meal. Bacon and egg was also great, and the horchata is unbelievably good. Best of all, they take Covid precautions seriously. They have sanitizer as you walk in, sign that says not mask, no service'. Employees are wearing masks, gloves, face shields, and the restaurant is impeccably clean! I would recommend this place to anyone that enjoys delicious Mexican food in a safe and clean environment. read more

Metro Taco Stop - Papa ranchero, bacon and egg, bean and cheese - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Typical Mexican fare. We had cheese enchiladas and ground beef tacos. It was OK. Barbacoa taco was on the large side with lots of meat which was good and not greasy. Cilantro looked like dead grass, though. Hot sauce was spicy. Tortillas were OK, but they don't look or taste homemade. Mediocre at best. read more

We were in a different area and needed some food. Had a taste for some breakfast tacos. So we chose this place. Very empty, looked clean. Didn't smell like food was cooking. Nothing in the air said Mexican food was being prepared here. I ordered one papa y chorizo taco, one picadillo and one chorizo y frijoles. I enjoy onions and cilantro so I added that (possible up charge). I also added cheese (possible up charge). The lemonade looked like old dish water so we kindly requested ice water. The green sauce didn't have much flavor. The red sauce had a bit of flavor and was less spicy than the green. The tacos were ok. The chorizo lacked flavor. Or at least there wasn't enough mixed with the beans or potatoes to let me know it was there. It took a good while to receive our food. Which was weird because we were the only customers in there. We spent about $13 for sub par breakfast tacos. Been there done it don't have to do it again. read more
