UPDATE. They still got it. Their carne guisada is, in my opinion, is the best of the city.

Oliver B.

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.

Walk up and order: super friendly staff!!

Rick R.

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.

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.

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.

Three eggs, beans, potatoes, and tripas taco guacamole, and onions.

The foods great here I come here every other day the same plate for breakfast. The service is great

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.

Chorizo and egg taco. Free with Yelp check-in.

Ryan M.

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

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.

Came here because of a free taco offer for checking in on yelp. That wasn't the first surprise of the day! Great food. Homemade tortillas, great flavor- not bland at all. I had chorizo and egg taco and a machacado taco (my favorite), and they were very above average.

I was pretty hesitant to try this place out because it's pretty new, but it was really good. I can't say it was authentic, but the food tasted very fresh & the tortillas were top notch. Not to heavy on the flour, but not too thin either. And it didn't taste like it was cooked on a grill. Sounds crazy, but it just tasted clean. I dig the interior design. Very minimal & clean. But I think what really had me stoked were the display panels they had their menu on. I'm a sucker for that sort of stuff. Order 2 tacos & the 3rd is free! Gonna have to come back and try one of their plates. read more

I totally agree with one of the previous reviews. The signage is not to par or does not match what the little restaurant actually is. I also wish I would have tried them sooner since I don't live far. Now that I know...I want to keep them as my little secret place. ***They are that good.*** The food is so so buena! Wow...since I tried them, I've been back almost every weekend for breakfast. The Menudo is the cleanest and best tasting I've had. The Huevos rancheros are on point. And the Metro Guaraches (which I had never seen in a menu around here) have become one of my favorites! When I can't decide what to eat I just order what my heart desires and take the leftovers home. I am Sure they are thinking. ...all that good for that girl! They do Not disappoint and everything has been on point every time! My hat goes off to the chef. Keep it simple as is, flavorful and change that sign by the road. It needs to match the colorful mural with Cantinflas,Frida etc. I will continue to visit this little place and pray that when it grows the quality of their food and service remains. read more

I decided to try this place because it's just across the street and I had a craving for barbacoa, so that's what exactly what I got. With the barbacoa plate in front of me along with potatoes and beans I decided to also get a carne guisada taco with cheese just to be on the safe side. The meat was nice and lean with tiny traces of fat which was ideal, as far as the flavor it didn't wow me. I felt it was under seasoned or not seasoned at all, the carne guisada on the other hand was the star in my eyes. It was served with more then enough meat as well as being gooey with cheese. read more

We are a concept that will not fit in the stereotypes of traditional Tex-Mex restaurants. Even though being faithful to the usual ingredients, our approach will prove there is a different type of Mexican essence, since Mexican food principles remain the same yet the minds of those currently in charge of preparing such a culinary art are picturing its modern side based on experience and loving new, contemporary quality standards.

Sadly there was more batter than chicken. The seasoned fries were delicious and crispy.

The grilled fajitas were exceptional - meat perfectly seasoned and peppers and onions perfectly seasoned and cooked. The beans have a great flavor and even the rice (I'm just not a fan of most Mexican rice because it's bland) had a great flavor. The tortillas are the perfect thickness and are soft and warm. And of course - the green sauce - it's amazing! Our server was very friendly and prompt and the food came out quickly on a Saturday evening during prime dinner time. The true indicator of how good this place is - we were the only gringos in the entire restaurant! We will most definitely be back before long!! Well done!!

Our server was very friendly, attentive, and made sure to check on us throughout the meal. The drinks were definitely generous with the alcohol, which we appreciated. However, my piña colada was not quite what I expected. It had more of a milky consistency rather than the icy, blended texture I usually associate with a piña colada. As for the food, it was decent but nothing particularly memorable. I was especially looking forward to the paella, but unfortunately the rice tasted a bit sour, which was disappointing. Overall, the service and atmosphere were the highlights of the experience, while the food left some room for improvement.

We started…read morewith the Pan Fila Conchota combo that is a combination of the two that is 1/2 gallon of hot chocolate made using a base of Abuelitas with additional cinnamon, and cocoa along with something special. It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.

IMMACULATE. My grandma and sister picked up my girlfriend and I from the airport and pulled up here…read moreright after on 4th July weekend. We arrived around 5pm on a Thursday and got in queue which was out the door and wrapping around the front porch. Their host/doorman was kind, he offered the line water on many occasions and made pleasantries with almost all guests as the line moved. It was a hot day so those waters were clutch. By the time we made it to the front of order line maybe 40 minutes had passed. But ladies and gents the wait is worth it. When we plated our trays on the table my family all had heart eyes, and had equally loved our first bites. Their brisket is extremely tender. It's beautifully sliced and made for an amazing welcome back to the South taste for me. I was in heaven. I particularly enjoyed having the fresh pickled red onion for fresh, zesty cuts through the abundance of other saltier elements on the plate. Their menu is slammin! Their sides, and sausages all had crafty ingredients. I enjoyed their spicy link options and their macaroni was delightful. Their BBQ sauce was a nice 4/5 but certainly did the job. As a native Texan who's had their fair share, this was easily some of the best barbecue I've ever had. Top 5 top 5 top 5. I'm of course coming back and looking forward for more banana cream pudding especially. They were small, slightly sweet, and had great balance with the vanilla wafer ratio. That whip cream on top too had me hooked. I couldn't have asked for a better welcome back meal for the bold Texas cuisine, hospitality, and novelty animal and cowboy decor.

I go there every couple of months when I'm near the area. The place is crisp and clean with a minimalistic aproach to decor. Raul the owner has a great personality and talks to his guests. The girls at the register are always very friendly. I usually order the Huaraches. The FUCKING best! Add an egg on top of your huaraches for that extra rich flavor. It has a warm home feeling to it. Never had a bad meal there. Been going there for years. As for the critics who say its too expensive, you must not eat out often maybe only on your birthday and holidays. Going out to restaurants has gotten expensive everywhere do to inflation and food cost. That is life. Bottom line, if I am going to chose a place to go out and eat and have a great experience, this is where i choose to spend my hard earned money! Thank you Raul. Keep up the good work! read more

The decoration of the place is pretty cool. The food was really good. I have been there several times, I have tried their breakfast tacos, some of their plates (breakfast and lunch), quesadillas, tacos al pastor, lengua tacos, barbacoa tacos and everything is good! Even the enchiladas! They have improved their tortillas, they are way better than when they just started. Also, the staff was really friendly and the prices were very affordable. I highly recommend this place. read more
