" I’ve visited this place several times, and there’s a reason I keep coming back! The flavor never disappoints. The chicken enchiladas were soft and tender, and the tortillas tasted so fresh. The staff always greets me with a smile, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. If you're ever in Hollister, it’s a must-try. I've never had a bad experience here! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to this taqueria was a mixed bag. While the al pastor tacos were noteworthy, I found the service to be a bit slow. I waited longer than expected for my order, which took away from the experience. The tacos themselves were great—full of flavor—and I appreciated the authentic preparation. However, if you’re in a hurry, you might want to consider this. Overall, good but could improve on service. " (*Curated Review*)

" This spot is a real treasure! The tacos al pastor were so juicy and flavorful, it felt like a mini fiesta in my mouth. The staff was friendly, and though the place was busy, they managed to keep it clean and organized. I am grateful to have discovered this taqueria close to home. Definitely coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Metro Balderas after hearing great reviews, and it did not disappoint. The tacos were fresh, made right in front of me, and the flavor was commendable. They run some killer specials as well, especially on Taco Wednesdays. My only complaint would be the limited seating, but that’s just a testament to their popularity. I’d recommend this place in a heartbeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a very relaxed dining experience here. The tacos were well-seasoned, and you can tell they use good-quality ingredients. I enjoyed the atmosphere as it was clean and inviting. I could see myself coming back often for a quick bite. Prices are fair, and the al pastor is definitely a highlight. Looking forward already to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had an amazing dinner at Metro Balderas! The al pastor was on point, juicy, and flavorful. I especially loved the hint of pineapple sweetness in the taco. The service was quick, and the staff offered friendly suggestions for my meal. The restaurant was clean and had a nice vibe. I'm excited to come back for Taco Wednesday specials! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely adore this little gem! The food is bursting with authentic flavors, especially the carne asada and tacos al pastor. They also offer great deal on Wednesdays with $1 tacos, which is unbeatable. The staff is super friendly and always ready with a smile. However, seating can be a challenge due to limited space. Overall, it's a must-visit spot for anyone looking for real Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
