Tacos El Metro is a legit Mexican taco restaurant in Dallas. If you like your tacos with onion, cilantro, and corn tortillas, bookmark this location. I was pleasantly surprised - no impressed with Tacos El Metro. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Tacos El Metro is open, spacious with plenty of seating. It has a laid back, casual feel without an ounce of pretentiousness. There's a full bar and a refidgerator with grab and go items (I see you flan). There are also plenty of TVs in case you want to catch a game while enjoying your meal. 1 Star. Service - While it's a casual restaurant, the service is fantastic. Our server made sure we had everything we needed, including ensuring the right game was on TV (yes this matters). He also shared some off the menu items, and was great over all. 1 Star. Food - Tacos El Metro tacos are legit. I ordered a barbacoa taco. The warm, tender barbacoa was served on two thin corn tortillas with generous amounts of freshly diced onions, cilantro, and lime on the side. I dressed my taco with the onion and cilantro, rolled my tortilla, and enjoyoyed what may have been the perfect taco bite: the smokey barbacoa was warm, soft and tender while the onions offered up a sharp crunch. You can order it as a platter (3 tacos + beans & rice). And that flan from the fridge? The caramel bite was cool, soft, creamy, and devoured quickly. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. Within my party was a torte and chips with guac/queso/salsa. It all looked fantastic, so yes, I will definitely be back. 1 Star. read more

This restaurant is at the corner of a plaza hidden behind a gas station. We only knew about it through my brother-in-law. When you walk in, you will see 6 tvs showing different channels. So when sit down, make sure you're able to see the TV that you want to see ... Cooking, golf, ... We ordered the taco plate with all pastor, brisket, and chicken tacos. I also ordered their special - chicken tortilla soup. It's interesting that the Special menu doesn't have the price. I don't have a problem asking for the price. Everything was so good! The 3 street tacos was tender and the garnishes were amazing. I loved the grilled pineapple chucks for you to put on your tacos. The tortilla soup - packed with tortilla strips, chicken, avocado, cheese, ... the broth was light and full of flavor. This is a place worth hunting down. read more

Food and portions are great. I ordered the three taco plate with rice and borracho beans with grilled onions on the side. The grilled onions were fresh and tasted like home. The service is very good. Our waiter (Icen) explained what was in the different taco sauces (not just here is some green and red sauce). The manager came by during the meal as well to check on us. Good spacious ambiance with high ceilings, good size bar, Mexican themed. Very clean. read more

My husband came here for tacos only because reviews were decent. We were pleased with the friendly service and spaciousness. We haven't found many decent carne asada tacos in Dallas area and we weren't disappointed. The ribeye carne asada was tasty and came with entering on the side-lime onions cilantro and a nice green sauce. They also had two other sauces available green was creamy and perfect addition, orange was spicy and hit my tongue in a good way. If you're not a spice person stay away from orange. Overall we will be coming back to get our taco fix and can't wait to try the weekend pozole and Barbacoa read more

The good: + al pastor taco is excellent +good queso + full bar + friendly service + good prices Needs work: - waited 30 min for our order (5 tacos total) and the place was mostly empty - it's loud in here due to acoustics of the tall ceiling and concrete floors - no kids menu and the high chairs don't fit well Note: this place is new, so they're probably still figuring out processes in the kitchen. I'll try it again in a couple of months. read more

I've returned to this restaurant several times and they NEVER disappoint! I've usually go to the bar and get a delicious *walnut* horchata. That drink is a dream! The bartender is always friendly and polite. This place is really cool and would happily serve as a spontaneous date night as their decor is displayed joyfully across their walls. I like it, like it a lot! read more

Easily the best street tacos in Dallas. The service is excellent. I have yet to eat here and not have one of the owners or managers come up to me and ask me about my experience. Get the puerco and pastor tacos. Huesitos and chips and queso. But everything I've had so far has been excellent. read more

I came here today to get lunch to-go. The place is new, nice and clean. The service was friendly. I didn't know the size of the tacos and I only ordered 4 for 2 people. The tacos are rather small, as you can see in the photo but they are yummy! We got the ribeye, chicken, and pork tacos - all were delicious. We ordered a side of flour tortillas which are obviously homemade, and so warm and tasty. We will be back. read more

The food wasn't as good as the reviews said. And service was okay. I had an order Togo and The lady taking my order took part of it wrong

This place is a straight banger. The tacos de Puerco are amazing. They get some soft roasted pork, chop up some crackling skin and put it on a handmade tortilla. Incredible. The pastor was a solid contender, too. Ill definitely be back. I hear the quesadilla is really good. read more

The food is fantastic every time, and the service never disappoints. Try the chicken tinga tostada or my favorite, the al pastor trompo tacos. read more

The carne asada burrito is amazing. I get it at least once a week! Staff is very friendly, dining in and take out are both great options.

Mike & Sergio and their staff knock it out of the park. Everything I've eaten in 6 trips has been great.......pastor trompo and fried snapper tacos are my top taco choices; chicken tinga quesadilla is my favorite dish and unlike anything I've ever had. Last nights specialty was Mexican Meatballs which were perfect! I HIGHLY recommend read more

We have our favorite Mexican restaurant (as does everyone), but one night we got adventurous, and decided to try Tacos El Metro on Walnut Hill Lane. Tucked in the corner of a small strip mall, El Metro doesn't look like anything special from the outside. Once inside, SHAZAM! Not your typical Tex-Mex style Mexican restaurant. The staff is super friendly and attentive, the bar serves up a full compliment of cocktails, wines and authentic beers, and the food is out of this world (complete with a whole pig roasting in the kitchen!). We tried the Torta Pastor (the owner's own recipe), and Tacos with Gulf Snapper and Carne Asada. Absolutely wonderful! If your favorite hole-in-the-wall is getting long in the tooth, then treat yourself to Tacos El Metro. It's not Javier's Gourmet Mexicano, but it's an authentic Mexican eatery that is easily overlooked. You won't be sorry! read more

I love this place! Everyone has been telling me how good it is and I finally tried it and I'm here for the second time this week. The food is delicious, the margaritas are amazing and even my kids love it. 10/10! read more

Best place ever. I shit you not. Amazing service! Finally a place that takes care of you when you want good service and have a good night. Their red sauce is in incredible! Make sure to order the Mexican quesadilla and the Tortas with ribeye carne asada! I've had breakfast lunch and dinner at this place in the same day. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

Good stuff. Tomatillo salsa fantastic. Tortillas have great flavor. Rice and beans make nice burrito but need cheese.

As always, good service with even better food. Prices are very reasonable. Location is improving regularly. The huesitos are delicious as are the elote ribs. read more

Service was great, had plenty of space and TVs to watch the game, most of all, the food was wonderful. I recommend the carne asada, pastor tacos and get yourself a chicken quesadilla, it's not your normal kind you see but should be the definition of a quesadilla. read more
