The food was fine, not overwhelming but it was served hot in temperature which to me is very important..The woman that was very friendly and the (ambiance) restaurant was very clean.. I probably would go back to explore the menu again..

Casual spot for burritos and other Mexican food with a salsa bar! My friend and I were hiking nearby and wanted a hearty meal. Taqueria Extra looked good, so we decided to give it a try and it really hit the spot. We parked in the attached parking garage. There's one floor specifically for patrons of the square and has free parking. We came by Saturday around 1 pm and it wasn't too crowded. We each ordered a burrito - I got the regular burrito with steak ($11.99) and my friend got the grilled veggies burrito ($11.99). We each got complimentary chips and helped ourselves to the salsa bar, which had 6 types of salsa ranging from mild to extreme. The food came out quickly. Both burritos were massive, especially my friend's veggie burrito. I was starving when I came, but even then it was a struggle to finish the whole burrito. We both really enjoyed the food and thought they put a lot of meat and veggies in the burrito. Would definitely come back next time we're in Walnut Creek and want a quick and casual meal!

This taqueria is a gem! The steak and bean burrito was absolutely incredible--tender, flavorful steak paired perfectly with creamy beans and fresh toppings. The veggie burrito was also solid, with fresh ingredients and great flavor. The employees were friendly and efficient, making the experience even better. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a casual meal. A great spot for delicious, satisfying burritos that hit the spot every time!

Wife and I had lunch here today. Was pretty busy with a mix of shoppers and construction workers. I got the salsa verde plate and wife got the carne wet burrito. They have a salsa bar, which we like, but you ask for chips. Food came out fast and it was tasty. Wife's wet burrito looked great: had red sauce and a lot of pico de gallo on top, which I've never seen before. My salsa verde was well seasoned. Self serve soda machine too. All in all, good choice for lunch.

I ordered four tacos--two beef, one carnitas, and one grilled chicken. All tasted fantastic. Chips and salsa are very carefully measured, but tasty. Service was extremely fast. The dining room is bright and clean and there's a TV for those who might want to see a sports event. All around a good dining experience.

Decided to come here after reading lots of positive reviews about this place & gave it a go. On the menu there is a large selection of various meat choices you can choose from which I really liked a lot. The service was good & quick. The food I tried is the California super burrito. I was intrigued on getting this because the California super burrito has French fries in it & I haven't been to a Mexican restaurant that has a dish like that. I can't rate the crunch factor on the French fries as I ordered mine to go & ate it at a later time, tho the burrito was delicious. The salsa bar was really clean, I got the mild salsa & it was really good! Perfect amount of acidity & flavor to it.
