Tacos El Metro

Tacos El Metro - Review - Northwest Dallas - Dallas - The Infatuation

"Stashed behind a gas station in a strip mall, Tacos El Metro is a step above your average taco joint. There’s full service and a fully stocked bar, so you can settle in and watch a game on TV or get your family’s taco Tuesday fix. And while tacos are in the name, the tortas and quesadillas are what keep us coming back. Our favorite is the chicken tinga quesadilla: a plump, cheese-filled masa pocket stuffed with adobo-simmered chicken, deep fried, then piled with shredded lettuce, crema and queso fresco. For bigger appetites, there’s two-handed pierna de puerco adobado torta, where pickled vegetables and marinated pork leg are sandwiched between a cheese-topped bolillo toasted on the flat-top until crisp. Wash it down with cinnamony, creamy agua de horchata. It’s an elite combo." - Desiree Gutierrez
