I think for the price and especially in walnut creek this is a really good value for a decent quick meal! It's also really nice they have a salsa bar and include chips with the meals where a lot of places do not.

The food wasn't bad. My tortillas were dry and not great. But the birria was good. However, I really don't like the atmosphere of restaurants using plastic forks and plastic ramekins for customers dining in. It cheapens the experience. This place has counter-only service, making it more akin to a fast food restaurant than a nice taqueria.

All in all, I’d have to say this is yet another one of those order-at-the-counter taqueria places. Sometimes that model means the focus is really on food quality and bold flavors, but in my opinion, that wasn’t the case here.
The kitchen is open, so you can watch the food being prepared, which I do appreciate. As for the flavors, they struck me as pretty average overall — nothing stood out as particularly memorable or unique.
I ordered the two-taco plate: one al pastor and one chile verde. I was intrigued by the idea of chile verde in a taco, but when my plate came out, I was disappointed by the portion size. There was barely enough meat to make one taco, much less the usual “two tacos from one” that’s common when they provide double tortillas. The al pastor also fell short — a bit dry, and not nearly as flavorful as versions I’ve had elsewhere.
On the positive side, the rice and refried beans were both very good, and the salsa bar had some solid options. That said, I didn’t love seeing a sign limiting customers to two very tiny salsa containers per order. I doubt they enforce it, but it left me feeling a little awkward about taking a third, especially after spending around $35 for two plates.
Overall, I wouldn’t call this a bad experience — just not particularly satisfying or interesting. Nothing about it would prompt me to come back if I lived in the area.

Taqueria Extra is my go-to spot for takeout, and it never disappoints. I always order the carnitas tacos, which are consistently flavorful and satisfying. Their rice is especially good—so good that I usually skip the beans and double up on it!
One of the best deals around is their combo: two tacos, rice and/or beans, a drink, plus chips and salsa—all for around $15. The chips are fresh, and the salsa has a great kick. For the quality and portion size, it’s a fantastic value.
If you're looking for a quick, easy, and tasty lunch, this place is a solid choice. Highly recommend!

The burritos were awesome! Meat was very tender and flavorful, guac was super tasty. They were made exactly as we ordered which is important because my partner is lactose intolerant. There was enough food I couldn't finish, and I didnt even touch the chips until the day after but the chips were still perfectly crispy and not stale! Which to me says that they were super fresh when we got them.
Fast and friendly service, variety at the salsa bar, nice patio outside. They also have aguas frescas if you're just looking for refreshments!
The food was bland, old, and overpriced. I would not go here again, the food had an odd fish-like smell and taste even though it had no fish in it??? Kind of gross and mad me sick.

I drove from Danville to pick up a burrito that I had placed in order over the phone. Unfortunately, this location has not updated their prices. When I showed up. They did not honor the price. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my order. I am not headed to Bridges restaurant for a steak dinner instead of the burritos.
Very accommodating to food allergies. Staff are very friendly and kind. Food is fresh, affordable, and delicious. This is out go to Mexican food place.
