I got the carne Asada fries and Horchata. It was delicious! Altho they open as early as 9am they don't have breakfast burritos. There's only one person working so be patient, it took us a while to get our food but it's worth it. There's only seating area are clean and comfy. I will come back again! read more

Taqueria Metro Basilica - Chicken burrito with no beans. - Mexican Near Me - La Puente, California

Grabbed dinner here for the family. We just moved to the neighborhood this past December and there are a lot of Mexican places to choose from around here but I'm glad I chose this place. I surprised when I showed up and they had AC. It was a warm day, I know now I can dine in if I want. Over all, It was delicious. The pastor was so flavorful. The carnitas burrito was good too. My son had the asada burrito and he's a picky eater and he loved it. My mother in law got the chicken quesadilla and no complaints from her. The burritos are a nice size and I didn't feel overcharged. That's rare. We will be eating here again. Thanks to the other who reviewed this place. It's the reason I tried so hopefully this review helps others. read more

I have gotten a burrito of Asada and Tacos with Pastor. And everything was so good. The Pastor had so much flavor and the burrito was good. I had to get with no chile and onions because my little one doesn't like all that. I got cheese in my burrito and she is a picky eater and let's just say she was grubbing on my burrito. I never had eaten inside I just usually order to go. But the service has been good no complaints here. I would keep on going back. I wish I would have taken a pics but when I remembered it was to late. read more

All their menu is delicious My favorites Pozole Taco de tripa bien dorado Sope de alpastor Taco de chorizo yummy read more

This place has my heart, my family and I have been coming here for years. Their caldo de res, pozole or menudo on a rainy or cold day always hits the spot! The tacos and sopes are my personal favorite and are a must when I'm in LP visiting my family. The staff has always being cordial and in busy nights try their best to keep things flowing. Don't let the old look of the place fool you, the quality is great and most importantly the food is DELICIOUS and affordable. read more

Our go to taco spot! Parking is convenient and the service is quick. Taqueria Metro Basilica offers a variety of menu options from tacos, burritos, sopes, mulitas, and more. The protein options include all the standard options ranging from carne asada to buche. My favorite order is an al pastor mulita with everything on it. The mulita comes with ample amount of meat and cheese + sliced avocado. It's delicious with their red salsa. read more

Taqueria Metro Basilica - Mexican Near Me - La Puente, California

Great service. Went really late at night and owner was nice and friendly. Food is amazing! Carne Asada, Carnitas and Tripas are seasoned well. The sopes were yummy! But wished they had Crema on top and bigger slices of avocado. The creamy green (could be avocado?) salsa was really yummy! Red and green were tasty, too. We liked that they still have a salsa bar and side accompaniments of cucumbers and pickled peppers & carrots. Typical taqueria. It was decent and clean. Tables were wiped down. Definitely driving down again! read more

Got a burrito from this place. Have been coming here for a while without major issues like this one. The burrito tasted like it was soaked in perfume. Absolutely disgusting. A waste of money and entirely inedible. I'm not sure what their hygiene problems are but I'd prefer if my food didn't taste like the inside of a Macy's perfume counter. read more

This place was just ok. Meat is already pre cooked so nothing is made to order. At least all the taco meats are. They have a "salsa bar" wich is nice since some places can get a little stingy with their salsas. read more

Definitely a great spot to eat at if you're in the area. I know there's a lot of choices around but this place has been my go to since 2005.

Great legit mexican food and friendly staff... Tacos and Mexican Coke! As good as it gets. read more

Always good reasonable also quick. Service ver nice. Open late salsa is homemade mmmmm

A coworker offered to bring a few of us lunch today from here so I have not actually set foot in the place but tried the 3 taco special. For $6.50 I got 3 tacos al pastor with beans, rice and a drink. I Thought that was a really good deal! The tacos where delicious. I loved the grilled onions and the red salsa. The portions are good too, I wasn't able to finish it all. Overall I'd say this place is great. I'd definitely order from here again. read more

Go to the truck. The al pastor burrito is good enough if you're craving some authentic Mexican and this is the only spot around and open.

Friendly Staff and tasty food! The pozole here is the best as same as tacos de cabeza, you can't go wrong with those 2 options

Great to RTAS and great service the menu is all delicious and it's never a wait when ordering food

Because of the name I thought this must be good, wrong!! I ordered a buche burrito and had the most disgusting meat I have ever had, and tasted like canned beans, for the price not worth it. Not coming back. read more

not only is the food amazing but the workers are so nice legit a 10/10 experience. Plus the prices aren't too expensive.

My go to taco place in the area when I'm not able to drive out to LA for Ave 26. Taco special $5.50: 3 tacos (CARNE ASADA), beans, rice, chips, grilled onions, grilled pepper, and a soda. ABSOLUTELY STEAL. Fills you up, gets the cravings out of the way. Always consistent. Service quick, food is quicker. Cash & Card accepted. Parking is abundant. That is all. Go here. read more

Love their authentic Mexican food and great service. We've been going there for over 14 years.

I like this place but it's looks a bit off putting. Doesn't look exactly clean. The food is decent and the prices are okay so that's why I keep going back, but the moment I find a better Mexican spot in running to it lol my favorite is carne asada sope and you have to tell them no salsa otherwise they slather the spiciest salsa on everything and you're food is not edible. read more

I've come to this place for a long time. They have pretty tasty food. Their service is fast and friendly, I hadn't been to the actual restaurant in a while but they have carry out only the food is still delicious read more

I went last night to buy a burrito and was very disappointed I have been going there for a while but had stopped and last night I decided to stop but the food is not the same anymore I don't know if is a new cook or what but the burrito was very small the rice was hard and it tasted like it was undercooked the didn't have any flavor and to top it all off the price was ridiculous we payed $10.00 dollars for something that tasted like nothing so sad never going there again ...... read more

Have been going to this taqueria for a longtime and it was good for the must part, but last night my wife and I got a burrito de asada and we got food poisoning, they have big freezers that can be seen from the lobby and I noticed that they pulled the carne asada and the worker juts slapped it in the grill, who knows when it was prepared and how long had been in the freezer, the girl who took my order she seemed to be a new employee and she seemed to have a hard time taking the orders which it's understandable, but instead of helping her the rest of the employees kept on being rude to her and making her uncomfortable, also the same thing with a cook, can tell they were both not being treated in a professional manner, was very disappointed and disgusted from what I seen while being there, I can assure that we are not coming back. :( read more

Do not judge a book by its cover!!! It looks a little funky from outside but the food hits home here!! The salsas are hot and flavorful which is the important part for me and the food is delicious and tastes homemade! I love love love the al pastor. The burritos are a good size and the food is cheap for how good it is. Service is fast and friendly. And I can't forget the grilled onions they give along side with every order, they are so bomb. read more

Taqueria Metro Basilica - Best Tripas ever - Mexican Near Me - La Puente, California

This place is bad in every sense. Went here late Friday night to get the 3 taco special with rice, beans, and drink to-go. Never going back again. The 2 lengua tacos were shredded and gushed with water when I bit into it. Not juicy but watery like as if literally soaked in water to defrost or something. The third tripa taco was minced, burnt and unrecognizable as tripas. Ordered an extra al pastor taco and it was minced and dry. That isn't even why I'm giving it 1 star. It gets worse. The rice was slimey at first bite. I took another bite, still slimey, smelled it, and yeah, spoiled. To top it off I tried drenching the tacos in sauce. Red sauce, fine. Guess what though? Green sauce was bubbly and spoiled. I hate this place so much right now. The only thing good was the horchata drink. Response to Daisy V. : I know the intention is not to serve the spoiled gross food I got but that's honestly what I received and not exaggerated even slightly. I wasn't going to drive back 4 miles to ask for a refund of $10. Maybe it was fresh during the day but definitely spoiled when I got there. read more

A hidden gem with the most delicious al pastor tacos and burritos! I love the grilled onions they throw onto the tacos, definitely gives it more flavor. Workers are friendly and gets the food out in a timely manner. It can get a little packed during dinner rush but worth the wait! There are plenty of parking spaces out front, store accepts both card and cash which is a plus! Definitely worth a try! read more

Been coming here for a few years now and never really can complain. Food is delicious and good quality, prices are great. If you're in the mood for mexican food i definitely recommend this spot. read more

This restaurant has the best burritos, hands down. They are generous with their portions and they give you a variety of salsas and vinegared onions and carrots. They have an assortment of beverages including horchata, Jarritos in different flavors, Mexican Coke, etc. read more

SOOOOO after some pretty severe emotional taco related distress.....and sobbing myself uncontrollably to sleep last night based on my taco terrors at Metro.....I did what any compassionate, forgiving human being would.....gave 'em a second chance!...out of the genuine kindness of my heart....and because I was REALLY, REALLY craving those gawdamned tacos they DID NOT give me yesterday! I'm all about redemption....and really....doesn't everyone want a happy ending? No, no not the massage parlor type....PLEASE, minds out of the gutter people...I'm talkin' 'bout tacos! I phone in my order for 2 tacos de buche (pig esophagus) ($1 each) 2 tacos de pastor and 2 de cabeza (79 CENTS EACH!) AND a carne asada burrito for the wife ($4) I arrive and politely tell them my sob story from the last visit....they were super cool! Amazingly apologetic, knocked off the price of whatever I overpaid AND threw in extra food! AGAIN....it's ALL about customer service my friends! LONG story short...the tacos were ALL right on the money http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/bUeDiKTyn3yqJmbkhHHN9Q/l ...no complaints....I gobbled 'em all up like senor pacman at a taquiza. The wife chowed down on her carne asada burrito http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/PTIbqV_no3pv9fmiamMfEQ/l with nary a gripe. Yet another tumultuous taco tragedy averted by forgiveness and ending with me stuffing my mouth with so much meat it would make Jenna Jameson proud. read more

This place is across the street from Boca Del Rio and while eating my food here, I was wishing I had gone there instead... First, let me complain about the bitch that works here. Since they don't have their hours listed on yelp, I tried calling to find out when they close. This bitch picks up the phone, can't answer my question because she doesn't speak/understand English and just hangs up on me. I call back later and the same bitch hangs up on me. Seriously, is there nobody there that knows English? And this must've happened a few more times that night until I had enough and just decided to go out there (-1 star). So I get there and see their hours: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/taqueria-metro-basilica-la-puente?select=40xAw4J9hVJe5Ix4mPGBqA#40xAw4J9hVJe5Ix4mPGBqA and luckily made it in time to try their tacos. I went with the tripas taco that some yelpers were raving about in addition to the carne asada and al pastor ones. Tacos here are hella cheap, but they are hella small so make sure you order enough. I did not like the tripas taco. They were greasy as hell and pretty nasty; too much of the intestinal contents... The other tacos were okay but man, that tripas taco really left a bad taste in my mouth. If I were to be in this area again, I'd probably go across the street to Boca Del Rio instead... read more

Tacos aren't the best but not the worst either. Def not my fave item fm here however my hubby does fancy their asada and tripas. I will only eat their carnita tortas which aren't too shabby. Sopes ain't no King Taco but will do the job. Green salsa is aiight. I do have to say though that the 'blonde' broad at the counter not nice. Could it really hurt to be a smidge courteous? The older lady w/the dark hair who works nights is a hell of a lot friendlier. That is all. Good day. read more

The Yelp did not fail us with this find. Thank goodness because my friend and I were a little scared. The tacos were really good, though. I'm a white girl from TX so what do I know about authentic Mexican tacos? Absolutely nothing. I just have what we have in Dallas to compare. And by golly these were some of the better tacos I've had. This was a great cheap find! Bonus for having Coke in a bottle. read more

So I'm a fan of street tacos, and whenever my taco empty light goes on this is where I come since it's nearby. Would say it's the best around where I live. Staff is actually super friendly, and I always go with the Carne Asada - maybe mix in Al Pastor here and there. I always get it to-go, but I would recommend eating it there while it's fresh since it does get a little soggy. So if you want OPTIMAL taco pleasure eat it there, otherwise take it to go if you in a hurry. read more

Tacos.....Tacos.....Tacos.....I WANT MY TACOS...still house sittin' for my homeboy and I don't know this side of the hood too well so I'm just trying out different places. These Tacos are like (Tacos Mexico) in size very small but only .79 cents 2- Carne Asada Tacos 2- Al Pastor Tacos 2- Carnitas Tacos 1- Tostada de Carne Asada The Carne Asada very good taste cooked well small pieces two thumbs up but I'll give a slight edge to "Boca del Rio" on the Carne Asada who is just across the street! The Al Pastor cooked to perfection and flavor was OH SO good! So much better than "Boca del Rio" The Carnitas was also cooked very well, still moist and not overcooked and dry, also the Red Salsa was very good. The Tostada at $2.99 was probably more filling than all the tacos put together, as there was more meat, lettuce, cheese etc. well done. I think this place is very good but next time if I were to go back JUST FOR Carne Asada I would go to Boca del Rio as the Carne Asada is better and you get more food for the money! But if your in the area I would say give them a try!.................... read more

Prices have gone through the roof!!! 9 dollars for a burrito that gives you the runs!! The lady at the register is so grouchy and gives a dirty face when ask for more salsa. Come on lady I'm paying top dollar for a meal and you get angry for asking for more salsa? Jeez read more

Not the best tacos but definitely hits the spot when I'm craving chicken tacos! 1.09 each which is pretty cheap! I would have given them 4 stars but it really annoys me when establishments charge to use ur debit card! They charge a $1.00 for each transaction, 1 whole dollar! Outrageous! That's a whole taco I could of bought! Anyway that's why I deducted a star... I hardly ever carry cash so its only once in a full moon like tonight do I ever find myself with a 20 in my purse. Service is quick and the people are nice! Decent tacos overall! read more
