This place is a hidden gem! Located in the Safeway shopping center in the coroner is Taqueria Extra. I was looking for Mexican food and this place popped up to try. I ordered a super taco and regular taco. They both came loaded with meat and toppings. They tasted so good and I was really impressed. I will definitely be back for more and will be telling my friends about this place! read more

Taqueria Extra - Super Taco with chorizo Regular Taco with carne asada - Mexican Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Im NACHO man when it comes to eating Mexican food being a picky eater. I love nachos but there's a lot of great Mexican restraints and trucks that just dont even hit the bar. after trying this place a few times this might just be my new favorite go to especially because they do Nachos the right way here. What I really love about this place is that they have a salsa bar with pickled radish and cucumbers that im a huge fan of. The green salsa is my favorite as it's garlic, refreshing, and full of flavor. Cucumbers and radish are fresh and crunchy that cuts the fatty taste of the Mexican food. Their quesadillas here are on something as the cheese pull with these is insane. I like how they have a stand where you can order from inside along with the option to dine in where they bring your food out to you. my only fear is that ill visit this place so much that ill be recognized by the staff. read more

A quaint little location in the shopping center catty-corner across from the fairgrounds. We got here in the early afternoon on a Wednesday and saw that they have a Happy Hour special of 3 Tacos for $6 weekdays between 3-6PM. Wow. What a deal! However, we were about 75 minutes too early and too hungry to wait. (Which reminds me, I have a reason to go back!) Anyway, the menu looked great and I chose a taco salad. Now, I like a good taco salad, but I have been disappointed by many other places in the past. But this place has a fantastic taco salad! Wow! Everything was right about this salad. First of all, a lot of places fry up a whole stack of tortilla shells in advance and then let them sit and get stale and rancid. The tortilla shell at Taqueria Extra was fresh and perfectly crispy. I truly appreciate the FRESH part. The fillings were abundant and well proportioned. The flavors all blended together exactly right. The chef is brilliant. I loved this taco salad. My DW got a taco plate which comes with a side salad and a generous serving of rice and beans. I got a taste of the taco and it was flavorful and excellent also. This is a highly recommend and a definitely return to restaurant. read more

Friends recently ordered trays from here for a party and the food was beyond delicious!! I cannot speak to service or ambience as I have never visited the location itself, but based on the menu I absolutely will. Their enchiladas, flautas, crispy tacos and quesadillas are great for events with kids. read more

"Probably the best burrito I've ever had" -my husband. We are Southern California natives who have traveled across the U.S. for the last two years, and this was one of the best spots we've ever had! "The best", according to my husband. Great food, fresh flavors, big portions. Salsa bar with plenty of salsa variety and a variety of side veg too We had the Super Burrito with asada and the California Super Burrito with pastor read more

Excellent weekday happy hour deal for tacos. You can get three different meats; this visit I tried the marinated chicken, al pastor, and carnitas. Each were garnished with diced onions and cilantro. Chips were 75 cents extra and went a long way towards making it a filling meal. The menu has a good selection ranging from breakfast to nachos. Staff was friendly and entertained my questions about what meats they'd recon. I'll definitely be back! read more

Portion sizes, and not much else, unfortunately... I ordered the "Wet Burrito," super, with 1/2 asada and 1/2 shrimp, and half & half red/green salsa. It was the size of a small child. Unfortunately, the pros end there. This meal cost $23.12 after tax, as they added an up-charge for shrimp ($1.50) and "extra" asada ($3.50). When I inquired about the surcharge and what was actually included in the $15.49 base price, the cashier shrugged and said the owner told them not to offer "1/2 portions." Note that I did not order "extra," only half & half. There is no logical reason to simply not charge the customer for 1X "full portion" of the more expensive protein, as other chains like Chipotle and many local taquerias have no problem doing.. On quality, I felt the protein was lacking. The steak wasn't very tender, and the shrimp were small. I also felt the protein-to-filler ratio was off, with far too much of the latter, making the $23 price even worse to swallow (pun intended). Finally, both salsas were a touch too sweet and a bit over-salty. I asked about a spicier option like habanero, and the cashier replied that wasn't possible. Odd, for a Mexican taqueria. All in, perhaps if you order something non-customized and with different proteins, you may fare better than u did, but I can't say I'm running back; and I don't suggest you do, either. read more

Food was excellent, price is reasonable, and staff was very friendly. They're a good value and enjoyable establishment.

I am speaking to the take out service only. The take out was pretty quick right after ordering and they added everything we asked. Now lets get into the food. The super nachos were so good, we asked for asada. As for burritos, i got a big super burrito with cabeza and infortuantely I didnt picture them. Everything was 5/5 and a little gem in pleasanton. Yall better believe this place didnt come to play. Good ambience too! read more

Decent Mexican fast food at reasonable prices. We had five types of tacos for lunch today, and they were all enjoyable. Crispy chorizo tacos were my favorite ($4.89 each) followed by the beef cheek soft tacos (cabeza - $3.59 each). We also ordered the chicken ($7.49 for two), marinated pork (pastor - $3.59 each) and roasted pork (carnitas - $3.59 each) soft tacos. Total bill was about $35. Will be back to try other menu items. read more

Quite surprised with the Shrimp Burrito. Delicious. I would prefer less pepper. Chips were stale and they exchanged another bag for me once I walked in and asked. Still stale. I would prefer them not to bag the chips ahead of time. Service was quick for lunch. Ambiance is extremely casual. Simple tales and chairs. Would prefer slightly cleaner floors. read more

Tried this place with a coworker after our shift and it definitely hit the spot. This is the best taqueria spot I have tried in Pleasanton. They open early and close late! This is not the best taqueria I have had in my life but it's good for for the area. I have not seen any taqueria's in the Pleasanton area. With that being said, the service was okay, the cashier took of us and recommended many items The ambiance was really nice but it did not give me that taqueria vibe to it. The food was great. I ordered the shrimp and carne asada tacos and it was super good l, very flavorful. The restaurant offers a complimentary chips and your choice of salsa from their salsa bar. I also ordered a horchata for a beverage and that was really good as well. Overall I give this restaurant a solid 4/5 star review, will definitely be back to try other dishes and also want to go back for the free chips and order myself a horchata again! read more

I always order carnitas tacos, so I ordered them here, there was so much grease on the plate I couldn't even pick up the taco, it kept slipping out of my hand, I had to use a handful of napkins to sop up the grease so I could eat my taco.I told the Lady about it and she said well that's the way carnitas are, that's not true. Worst tacos ever. Also my husband couldn't even eat-his burrito, it was so dry. Never going there again. The worst. read more

Taqueria Extra - Super Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Pleasanton, California

I must say that their carne asada seems to be the most flavorful. I tried their shrimp and chicken. They really pile it on in their burrito bowls. So I would definitely get a burrito bowl again. I didn't really like the style in which they serve their quesadilla. I'm just a simple quesadilla type person. just meat and cheese onions and cilantro. That's it. staff was nice the entrees and a la carte items were great portion sizes. read more

I've been waiting for this location to open for awhile. I've been watching the restaurant come alive as I live a block away and drive past it every day! I've been to their Martinez location and have enjoyed their happy hour tacos (3 for $6) and their burritos. They have a free salsa bar but they do ration the chips- gotta order an entree to get a small basket. They don't skimp on the meat. delicious! The service was kind. I love seeing a hustle, and only being open for two days, very excited that there were a nice tempo of patrons eating in and taking out. This shopping center needs a taqueria and glad it's this local franchise! read more

My first check-in and review for the 2025 year occurred at Taqueria Extra. I've seen this establishment when going next door to Mike's Bike Shop. I was on my way back from grabbing some groceries and saw a guy on the corner of the street waving a sign that Taqueria Extra is open today on New Year's Day. I'm feeling hungry so thought let's give them some business. First impression is that the establishment is clean. Second impression was the great menu. Today I ordered a chicken burrito but I have my eye on a shrimp burrito and fish burrito for future meals. Service was great. Third impression is that they don't skimp on size. The burrito is huge for a regular size burrito. And chips are included too! Their local competitors started charging extra for chips. The burrito was delicious. I'm definitely coming back again. read more

The food was exactly as expected. the staff were courteous and helpful. I don't love the two salsa rule as my big A burrito needed three plus the carrots were difficult to stuff in the containers. Besides that I liked the food and place. I've worked in Pleasanton and know this plaza very well. I never noticed this Mexican place before so I'm glad I was to find it tucked into the corner! read more

It wasn't my favorite. Based on reviews I expected a more authentic taste. Not what I expected.

Nice lady took my order. The others not so much. Cook look irritated when I asked what's in your breakfast Torta. Place looked clean. I ordered an $11.99 Breakfast Torta and a cup of water. I ordered a chorizo one. It came with bread and mixed in with egg. No lettuce, guacamole, onions, queso fresco was in it. Just chorizo and egg. I also never got that cup for tap water. Worst Torta I've ever had in my entire life. I wouldn't even call it a basic Torta. The name of the restaurant should be called Taqueria Extra Basic instead. Don't waste your time. read more

Taqueria Extra - Extra basic Chorizo Torta. Nothing else in it to even be called a Torta. - Mexican Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Nice, new and clean! Got a variety of tacos - lengua, cabeza, fish, and birria. Very good. My fave was the birria. Good flavor and plenty of meat. Also, the meats weren't over salted like some places. I like that cause I like to pile on the salsa. The salsa bar has a lot of variety and dips seem quality. Be careful the habanero one is legit spicy! Servers were nice, greeted us cheerfully and were helpful. There is a patio where you can sit outside with shade. We sat there and it was a very nice lunch. I'm def going back to try other plates. They also have a happy hour! read more

Cute place, with bright colored decor, good food. We ordered at the counter, and got our food quickly. We got carnitas, shredded chicken, and carne asada tacos. Nice flavor, good size for the price. Good tortilla chips, warm, salty, and a hint of lime, yum! I think the chips were house-made. read more

So I retried because they have good food. The service was a lot quicker. They actually showed me they had a salsa bar as well. I don't know how I missed it the first time lol. The vibe in there is more on the "I'm hanging at my aunts and uncles house"side of things. The food was amazing. They season everything just right. I can now recommend this place. I have had other Hispanic places in the area and I'm not really impressed but I feel like we finally got a good one! Thank you team for reaching out when the error occurred. I appreciate you! read more

Location is nestled on the corner directly between a Bagel place and Mikes Bikes. I ended up here on a Saturday afternoon 11/23/24 because of a coupon of $2 off of $15 minimum so I decided to use it. The place looks like it's family owned but there are 3 other locations in the east bay which is good sign I think . Interior is very nice , clean and has everything you need. They even have 4 tables outside which a mini gate so you can consume beers in that area only . Plenty of parking as this is a huge strip mall with gas station , Wells Fargo & SAFEWAY. I took snaps of the menu because it was posted yet so hop they helps. The menu is large variety of normal Mexican items they even have a small menu. Drinks are free refill but there are only have 4 sodas but plenty of beer bottles and a cold Jarritos! Salsa bar is kept clean with free chips and has up to habanero salsa if you desire . You choose the beans for the burritos. Etc I decided to go simple and have the chicken burrito and it was wrapped up very nicely as you can tear it apart as you bite and hold it. It didn't leak any sauce or anything so that's a plus . Each table has its own napkin boxes, the bathroom is super clean and everything is well stocked and kept clean. Service is great , they are bilingual. They recycle and when your done you take your plastic chip basket to this separate bin. ( chips are free, I didn't eat them but I took them to go in a container I requested they even offered a bag ) All in all- a good experience not the best chicken burrito I've had but it was fresh and the chicken was crispy with big chunks -but it's the value with the coupon. I will try other things eventually. The burrito is big could feed to people literally but not massively huge . REMEMBER WEEKDAYS They have Happy Hour with Taco Deals which are advertised everywhere like on the doors. Come during happy hour if you want to save money. read more

I used to always get this on my way from mountain biking in martinez. Im so glad the opened one here. I think in the dublin/Pleasanton area this is the best mexican food. I've tried almost all the mexican places around here and this is top notch. Flavor is strong, not skimpy and its just GOOD. Highly recommend anybody go here, If it was closer to me in dublin - i'd be eating here all the time read more

Authentic taqueria in Pleasanton! Lots of menu items with much more meat options than other local taquerias. They have dine-in and takeout options. The interior is nice and clean with a good amount of both indoor and outdoor seating. I've tried their quesadillas, tacos, burritos, and sopes. They have not disappointed. They are LOADED with meat and toppings. They don't skimp out on anything. The best part is it's so loaded you'll be able to use your side of chips to catch the extra that's fallen from your tacos. Don't forget the salsa! They only allow you to take 2 salsas per entree which is enough. If you like spicy they've got it! They also have milder salsa for those unable to handle the heat. Their agua frescos are made from concentrate so they're pretty sweet. The horchata is decent enough. The staff is kind and helpful. They also do catering for large orders. If you're looking for a good deal they have Happy Hour Monday-Friday from 3pm-6pm, 3 tacos for $6! Give them a try! You won't regret it. read more

The chicken adobado is fantastic! This is chicken that has been marinated. You can get it in tacos, burritos, etc. The carne asada is great! The flavor is awesome! What I would stay away from is their red sauce on enchiladas and wet burritos. It is probably the worst I have ever had. It's sweet and tomatoey. It does not take like red sauce at all. And it's not that there is no kick to it; its the flavor itself. Really surprised considering they do such a great job on everything else! This a stand in line order and take your seat place! I highly recommend them. Just don't order anything with red chili sauce. read more

I have never felt this uncomfortable in any place I've been at except tonight. If I could left 0 stars I would. Tonight me and my daughter came to pick up our food around 8pm and there was 3 guys in the kitchen and a lady at register. As soon as we walked in the restaurant one of the cooks tap the guy with short hair on the shoulder and started pointing at us then started speaking to him in Spanish. After getting that guys attention he then tap the 3rd guy and started aiming his phone at us talking and laughing again. Me and my daughter felt so uncomfortable and we started asking each other if this is really happening because they were talking and making fun of us directly. For the manager or whoever is reading this. I hope you have cameras in there and check this situation. We were there 12/6 and we may have been the last customers to pick up our food. We got home and we didn't even want to eat our food. I don't know if the guys did something to our food that made us a joke to them but we didn't feel safe eating the food they prepared. Originally our family was very happy about this new place opening up but now we will not be returning after this incident. read more
