Their crunchy tacos are my favorite. Hard to explain, I believe it's the combo of ingredients so simple yet so flavorful. I got two crunchy tacos and from their happy hour 3 carnitas tacos that were also delish! Service is always great and fast. They have indoor and outdoor table seating. There is a small side bar seating next to their self serve salsas. They have a great variety of salsas too! Love this place. read more

Taqueria Extra - Food to go - Mexican Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I had a really great experience today and Taqueria Extra. My tacos were made to perfection- and the beans and rice were delicious! Super fluffy rice and perfectly cooked refried beans. Also- so many salsas to choose from at the salsa bar! read more

Casual spot for burritos and other Mexican food with a salsa bar! My friend and I were hiking nearby and wanted a hearty meal. Taqueria Extra looked good, so we decided to give it a try and it really hit the spot. We parked in the attached parking garage. There's one floor specifically for patrons of the square and has free parking. We came by Saturday around 1 pm and it wasn't too crowded. We each ordered a burrito - I got the regular burrito with steak ($11.99) and my friend got the grilled veggies burrito ($11.99). We each got complimentary chips and helped ourselves to the salsa bar, which had 6 types of salsa ranging from mild to extreme. The food came out quickly. Both burritos were massive, especially my friend's veggie burrito. I was starving when I came, but even then it was a struggle to finish the whole burrito. We both really enjoyed the food and thought they put a lot of meat and veggies in the burrito. Would definitely come back next time we're in Walnut Creek and want a quick and casual meal! read more

Decent place to stop for some quick Mexican food. I got an Al pastor burrito, which was pretty flavorful. Staff is friendly and food comes out quickly. They also have a lot of salsas to choose from! read more

I love Taqueria extra! I usually always get the shredded crispy chicken taco and the shredded chicken enchilada Verde. I love all of their salsas! There's usually nothing left on my plate. Love them! read more

I love love the Al pastor very much. I usually only get this meat every time. Happy hour is until 6pm which is super nice. 3 tacos (limited meat options but decent) for $6! The employees are friendly and it is fast service. You order than sit down. They have a nice sitting area outside that my friend and I love. Also good salsa bar very fresh! Recommendations/ concerns- -Add asada back to the happy hour tacos because it's not an option - they used to give chips with each order wether you are eating happy hour or normal tacos and now you have to pay for a basket. My friend and I really loved to come here for chips and tacos but now it's gotten expensive since we have to buy the chips. We passed on the chips last time to keep our order decently priced! read more

Taqueria Extra - Highly reccomend the pastor, it is my favorite! This picture is pastor and marinated chicken - Mexican Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Okay, guys and gals, you should check out this place. Why? The food is good! The price is very reasonable in my opinion. (you can check out the menu in my pics and blowup the photo to get the prices). My wife and I had happy hour chicken tacos 3 different ways, excellent toppings with it. The salsas were fresh delicious varieties. In addition we also had the nachos with beef! It was so loaded we couldn't finish it so we asked for a box and took the rest home. Meal came with chips. The folks were nice and friendly. Restaurant was simple and clean. Plenty of parking upstairs in the parking garage. Movie theater is around the corner so you can get a bite to eat before or after a movie! read more

Solid tacos. Good happy hour deal with three tacos for $6 from three to six p.m. I got Al Pastor and Carnitas and both were good. The only thing keeping this place from being perfect is that chips and salsa are extra. Totally their choice to do that, but keeps it from being a perfect experience. Still recommend as a good happy hour deal in Walnut Creek. read more

Got the veggie taco -- it was yum and full of flavor. I've been coming here for a while and really enjoy the food. I did miss the free chips and salsa that used to come with the order, but overall still a great spot I'll keep coming back to. read more

We came in around 9:10 PM and immediately smelled strong bleach. We ordered one burrito and one carne asada plate, and both were terrible. My boyfriend asked for light black beans, but they added extra. The carne asada was so dry and bland it seemed boiled. The tomatoes were awful too, please never serve them like that again you might as well put them in the salsa. Around 9:30, a staff member started cleaning the restroom, and the whole restaurant smelled like cleaning chemicals while we were eating. It was also freezing inside. I wish I could give 0 stars read more

The food was fine, not overwhelming but it was served hot in temperature which to me is very important..The woman that was very friendly and the (ambiance) restaurant was very clean.. I probably would go back to explore the menu again.. read more

Decided to come here after reading lots of positive reviews about this place & gave it a go. On the menu there is a large selection of various meat choices you can choose from which I really liked a lot. The service was good & quick. The food I tried is the California super burrito. I was intrigued on getting this because the California super burrito has French fries in it & I haven't been to a Mexican restaurant that has a dish like that. I can't rate the crunch factor on the French fries as I ordered mine to go & ate it at a later time, tho the burrito was delicious. The salsa bar was really clean, I got the mild salsa & it was really good! Perfect amount of acidity & flavor to it. read more

Always great service for a great price. You can't beat the tacos and chips. Love this place!!

This is one of the better Mexican restaurants in the area, but multiple times we've tried to place a tacos order for our kids, tried to specify "no salsa or cilantro" - which in theory should simplify the order preparation - and gotten tacos with salsa and cilantro, which our preschoolers don't want to eat. We have tried calling after placing the order, including special instructions. We tried asking the restaurant to add a second menu option for "Kids Tacos" to try to reduce the chance that they would the order wrong. They just told us to keep using the "special instructions" field, which they then messed up. Ultimately we will be switching to a restaurant that can consistently get our order correct. read more

Amazing food! We come here for take out often and it never disappoints. They also have a great salsa bar. read more

Taqueria Extra - Fajitas de Camaron - Mexican Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Wife and I had lunch here today. Was pretty busy with a mix of shoppers and construction workers. I got the salsa verde plate and wife got the carne wet burrito. They have a salsa bar, which we like, but you ask for chips. Food came out fast and it was tasty. Wife's wet burrito looked great: had red sauce and a lot of pico de gallo on top, which I've never seen before. My salsa verde was well seasoned. Self serve soda machine too. All in all, good choice for lunch. read more

Best Mexican joint in downtown Walnut Creek! So tasty & Authentic! I highly recommend !

We've enjoyed Taqueria Extra at work twice in the last month and a half. I had the shrimp fajitas the first time and the shrimp burrito today. Both are good but the fajitas were somewhat salty for my liking. Maybe it was an off day when I had the fajitas in early August, as the burrito I had today was nowhere near as salty. I love that they offer spinach tortillas and the ability to customize orders (type of beans, tortilla, extras). I've never been to the actual location so I can't comment on the atmosphere and service. Their breakfast options, especially the breakfast burrito and chilaquiles, looked tasty so I may try one of those next time. With an extensive menu that has something for everyone, I don't think it will be too long before we have another lunch from Taqueria Extra! read more

I ordered four tacos--two beef, one carnitas, and one grilled chicken. All tasted fantastic. Chips and salsa are very carefully measured, but tasty. Service was extremely fast. The dining room is bright and clean and there's a TV for those who might want to see a sports event. All around a good dining experience. read more

Taqueria Extra - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

A lady that was managing the register on August 12 at 7:15pm was super unreasonable. She said the super quesadilla with meat inside is $14 but if we do a quesadilla without the meat would be a cheese quesadilla. We said OK but we want the beans and the sour cream and the guacamole (the items in the super quesadilla) but she said it would be three dollars extra just for the beans. So now we are basically paying $14 for a cheese quesadilla and having to pay four dollars extra for every item we want to add inside the quesadilla. That makes no sense The quesadilla would come out to about 30 or $40 That is unreasonable read more

Super clean place. Food is decent. Great Salsa bar! Parking sucks! They are open pretty late so if you are hungry at 9pm stop by for a few EXTRA tacos! read more

Taqueria Extra - Mexican Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Food was below mid, no flavor at all and presentation wasn't the best. Customer service was trash, got a combo that came with a drink that we didn't receive asked about it and employee said that the extra one we paid for was the one with the combo then he proceeded to place a cup next to the register for us to grab with no apology. Vibes are not welcoming at all. read more

First time coming here. Always looking for places to eat after a hard workout at Hook'd (Plug). And I wasn't very impressed. Maybe I would've given at least 4 stars if I wasn't shamed by an employee for getting a drink with a cup they gave me. That I didn't even ask for by the way. My chicken tortilla soup was pretty good and I liked all the fixings of fresh sliced avocado, chopped onions, cilantro and rice on the side. My boyfriend got a steak burrito and although he said it was good and gave them 5 stars he MUST'VE just been starving cuz I know he's had better. It looked like a micro burrito. Like he was smoking a cigar. Wasn't even enticing enough for me to steal a bite. I'll leave on a positive note, free chips and salsa. read more

Surprisingly good! Stopped here late at night with friends and ordered the nachos, variety of tacos, asada plate, and burritos. We all enjoyed our food. My favorite was the carnitas taco! I eat consciously and like GOOD food so this makes me a little picky, but even I was pleasantly surprised. This place is deff worth the try! read more

Better prepping of the food. The next day I went to eat what I had left and it was spoiled.

Great carnitas burrito. My favorite spot in the Creek for a burrito with refried beans. Good fresh salsa selection. I'm a regular for sure. read more

We got takeout from Taqueria Limon 3 in Walnut Creek, and it did not disappoint! The husband called in the order, and estimated pick-up time was accurate. There is no parking in front, but there is a free garage (was free today, not sure if it's always free) around the corner. We ordered the following - Super Burrito with Carne Asada and pinto beans - OK, I wished I read the reviews because I would have chosen the al pastor or carnitas because the carne asada in my burrito was very bland. There were some salsas provided, and I had to use the hot one to give it some flavor. The hot salsa reminds me of a diluted version of el yucateco's xxxtra hot hot sauce. The other salsas didn't have any spice to me, and was a bit bland as well. Their green salsa was alright. Super Burrito with Grilled Chicken and refried beans (combo) - this one deserve all the stars. It was their special for the day, and combos on their specials is just a little bit more than the entree itself. It was just a dollar or so more to add on chips, salsa, and a drink with the super burrito. The grilled chicken had so much more flavor than the carne asada. They even let us get horchata as our beverage. So much better than a regular fountain drink! Chicken Quesadilla - the kids got the grilled chicken quesadilla on flour tortilla. It was filling and both kids enjoyed it. Usually they would complain when we get them quesadillas because they either don't like the texture of the chicken or it's "too spicy." They both ate up all of this one, so we're very pleased with that. Will def come back to try more of their menu, along with some al pastor. Yum! read more

Taqueria Extra - Super burritos- grilled chicken and asada - Mexican Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Restaurant looked relatively new when we walked in. We had several options along this street but choose Taqueria Limon 3 for Tuesday night dinner. There were no taco Tuesday specials. I ordered 2 crispy tacos a la cart with chicken and asada along with a Chile relleno & ceviche tostada (fish). He had the two taco plate with shrimp and fish. I liked their salsa offerings. Service was okay, you order at the counter and they bring your food out. Chips and salsa bar were basic but they had several salsas which I thought were nice. The crispy tacos were not real crispy tacos. It's the cold packaged taco shell with meat loaded with cheese and lettuce on top. I won't order this again because it just wasn't good. The Chile relleno came out piping hot covered in a delicious red sauce with peppers and onions. The ceviche tostada was flavorful and had a nice bite to it. However the two taco plate with the shrimp and fish was slightly disappointing. Fish was cubed and shrimp didn't have much flavor. For what we paid for, it was okay but not that great. I guess I expected more but with plastic utensils and self bussing the tables, I feel like the experience fell short. read more

I think this could easily have been a 3/5 review, but I'll stick with 2/5 which usually corresponds to "Could've been better". When I walked in the menu above the cash register was very overwhelming and difficult to follow. Luckily I had looked online ahead of time where the menu is a little more organized, and knew I was ordering a veggie super burrito. Online it said it would come with guacamole and sour cream. I was handed a water cup which I appreciated and a small basket of chips. Easy to find location by the way and lots of seating. Great. Their salsa bar was nice and definitely is something that would bump this place up a few stars also. They had great options. The salsa bar was self serve, and was still very clean and organized. I liked that. But the problem was with my burrito. I was going to take photos of it, but as soon as I cut my burrito in half, our came a ton of sour cream color water and fluid. It was such a wet and messy burrito and I did not appreciate that. There was barely any cheese, and I could not find any guac or sour cream in the burrito whatsoever. I just was not that impressed by the burrito unfortunately! But I think ordered a different menu item might have given for a different experience and could easily get this place more stars forsure! read more

This place is a hidden gem in Walnut Creek for quick and delicious Mexican food. They offer a-la-cart menu, which provides a great variety of options to choose from.

We doordashed our dinner from this restaurant. I ordered shrimp fajitas and I was a bit disappointed in the amount of shrimp they gave me in my plate. I feel like it could have used a bigger portion of shrimp. My boyfriend got a veggie burrito and it was warm to cold when it arrived as I marked in the notes to "MAKE SURE THE FOOD IS HOT". I ordered extra guacamole and it has amazing flavors. I'm sure if we would have ate at the restaurant itself it might have been better, but good flavors!! read more
