    Great Mexican food and friendly staff. Every Tuesday they have Pastor night where you can get tacos, burrito or any other type of food with delicious Pastor meat. Love this place

    A friend was in town for a few weeks and went on a quest to find the best lunch near his hotel. Metro Balderas 1 is top notch authentic mexican food for taqueria prices. The El Pastor is to die for. There's a guy in the back roasting meat on a spit that he cuts directly onto the tacos. This is a neighborhood spot so the parking is extremely limited, only 2 parking spots when I visited and it took some time to find street parking but was oh so totally worth it.

    This is a great little Mexico city authentic Mexican food. Their big quesadilla is not your typical flower tortilla, it's made of corn dough the tortilla is hand made in a long oval tortilla, ordered mine with chicharon and cheese its was delicious.

    Small place, not bad. Not enough parking spots but you gotta eat, right?. They give you some chips as an app and they are home made. Tacos 'al pastor, asada y suadero' not bad even though I think is kind of pricey, but I guess everything in CA is a lil' bit pricey.
