Metro Taco Forest Hills Reviews
The cutest and coolest spot! Decor was eye pleasing and had such a cool vibe. Staff was so very friendly and helpful. Drinks were top notch! Most drinks came in a funky container... Chinese food take out box, bathtu, hearts etc. they drinks weren't just cute, they were delicious! Food was amazing! We ordered 2 appetizers, an entree each and shared dessert. All amazing! Can't wait to go back.
I came across this place during a search and I knew I had to go there. Instantly loved it, the decor and the music. It's really cute especially the rubber ducks corner. My blue lagoon drink was good and strong. The sushi rolls were delicious. The cauliflower tacos were healthy. The bill was very reasonable. Super friendly and attentive staff. Will be returning.
Went to Metro by Fabrika for the first time and I can’t wait to go back. I was really impressed. The Caribbean roll was so unique with the plantain and mango on top, and the chicharrón ceviche had the perfect mix of crispy and fresh. I also tried the shrimp linguine and the skirt steak and both were cooked perfectly. The cocktails were creative the Moonwalk was my favorite. Ended with stuffed churros that came with caramel and ice cream and they were amazing. The atmosphere is such a vibe without being overwhelming and the service was great. Definitely a spot worth checking out.
The service was fast👍. The waiter made great suggestions. The food was amazing and the drinks made to perfection. Can't wait to return again with friends. Strongly recommend this place The atmosphere is relaxing 😉
I LOVE this GEM!!! The decor here is so cute!!! If you love rubber duckies…run over! The food was amazing while the presentation brought it up to another level! The drinks were very fun and creative! I had a great experience and would love to visit for happy hour with the girls! 11/10!!!
Atmosphere is amazing! Food was delicious 😋 Drinks were so good and fun! A must go for anyone!
Im so impressed with Metro by Fabrika and loved the menu. I came to celebrate my birthday here and had an array of drinks and food. I highly recommend this restaurant and our server Carlos was so attentive. I also loved the story behind the ducks, such a personal touch 👏🏼.
Went on a Friday evening with a friend for dinner and drinks. We were immediately greeted and given a table. Great atmosphere, they had the best salsa music playing but not too loud where you can still have a conversation. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. We ordered the rib eye medium but it did come a bit over but still very flavorful. The guacamole was really good too. The star for me was definitely the creative and tasty cocktails. I will absolutely be returning!
Excellent food. Wait staff were so attentive and friendly. Came for a birthday party, table of 8. Good music. Highly recommend the guac, skirt steak, desserts looks excellent as well!
Walked past this restaurant on a Friday midday and decided to give it a try. The vibe is super cute with a fun duck theme, and they have a patio area that gives off vacation vibes. Their drinks are very aesthetic and, to my surprise, actually really tasty—and the prices were affordable. The food was great! I ordered the Dragon Roll—presentation and taste were 10/10. We also tried the tuna tartare and the chicharrón ceviche—also 10/10. We started on the patio but ended up indoors because the bugs wouldn’t let us live 😅. Thankfully, the inside had just as much of a vibe, so no complaints. Loved it and would definitely go again!
The Food, Service and Atmosphere is amazing! One of the best restaurants in Forest Hills. They change menu and interior and looks outstanding. We have met owner Chichi and he was super friendly and welcoming! We definitely will Be back soon! Highly recommended place!

Excellent atmosphere, incredibly great food that is fresh and well prepared. Outstanding presentations. Service is absolutely next level. The areas are very well maintained, clean and well distributed. Certainly recommend when coming in from out of town on business or pleasure. Great vibe. Definitely will be back.
I’ve been here twice once to celebrate my bday which was awesome, they really catered to us and made sure we were taken care of. The place is beautiful , many instagram picture opportunities i this cute spot. Music is great, staff is friendly and welcoming. Everything i tasted I loved, drinks are so good and creative. Love love this spot! It’s a must try! They also have an outdoor patio which is cool. This is a gem!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Metro Restaurant is an absolute must-try! I celebrated my birthday here, and I must say, every dish was exquisite. We started with the beef and chicken arepitas, which set the tone for a fantastic meal. The Ahi Tuna Tostadas were delicious 🤤, and I highly recommend trying the picaditas! For sushi enthusiasts, the dragon roll is a standout, and for those with seafood allergies, the Que Chimba roll offers a great customizable option. Their drink selection was equally impressive! My favorites included El Jefe, True Passion, Piscoco, and Me Enamore—each one was refreshing and flavorful. Dessert was the cherry on top, with the Mango Passion Fruit and their chocolate lava cake being absolute delights. What truly elevated the experience was the service and atmosphere. We had a DJ playing all our favorite music, creating a vibrant vibe, and the service was exceptional—staff were always checking on us to ensure our needs were met. Honestly, it was the best service I’ve ever had! Overall, Metro Restaurant made my birthday unforgettable with its outstanding food, lively atmosphere, and top-notch service. I can’t wait to return! THANK YOU!
This was my first time back since the new owners took over. The food was fantastic. The drinks were great. Staff was super helpful and attentive. We will be coming back for sure!

Great food by the chef and owner Washington and the menu is on point for latin pan American flavors. Appetizers, entrees, main dishes, are all salivating and the desserts even better. The place has big screens for sports or events, you feel like u are in a big family reunion, and they have an outside patio to chill or smoke. Located in Forest hills not too far from the city I must say anyone who wants amazing Latin food good service and better atmosphere must visit this place!
I’ve been to their other location fabrika and had a good experience so I decided to check out this spot. I didn’t realize there’s no air conditioning so my friend and I were extremely hot. We had about 5 cocktails each and they were pretty good but the food menu is limited not many options and they ended up being sold out of some items we were interested in. The place was empty but got packed quickly and they definitely didn’t have enough staff to support a large crowd that day. We got charged a drink we had cancelled and if we didn’t notice it we would have paid extra but in the end it was removed. I feel like they definitely have room for improvement.
The food is delicious and layered in flavors. We were there at 7pm on a Friday, with no more than 3 tables, including ours, seated. Yet the service was extremely slow. There was club music blasting, which wasn't enjoyable or necessary.

More Cons than Pros. I'll start with the good..this place has a vibe. Outdoor seating was nice. Decor was fun. Server was ok. Now Cons..QR code menu was a disaster. None of our 4 person party could successfully open it. Server had to take the phone and spend a few minutes tapping away to open just one, then walked away. Remaining party tried to replicate unsuccessfully. She comes back and I say can we have a physical menu, and she just walked away. We keep on trying. She returns and I say "do you not have any physical menus" She says "not really". She leaves and we are forced too pass the phone around one by one. She returns 2 minutes later and asks if we are ready to order and I said "No because we are only using 1 menu between 4 people". Next Con..ordered a Chicken Finger dinner. Came with 3 small fingers and a torn one on top. Not cut, but half a torn chicken finger. It was very weird. Fries needed salt desperately. None to be found. Outdoor seating table was dirty. Needed a table cloth. Portions were small. Finished a fish taco in 2 bites.
i've been coming here since metro taco first opened, and was excited to try the new space! the first time i came i was very impressed, i got the shrimp tempura sushi roll and my mom had the cauliflower tacos. we just went for a 2nd time, got the same orders, and both were wildly different than our first time. the shrimp tempura was DOUSED in mayo, to the point that it was inedible and i couldn't taste anything else. there was also no sweet plantains included in the roll. my moms cauliflower was roasted, not fried like the first time, so wasn't as flavorful. there was also bacon bits in the guacamole as our appetizer which felt like an odd addition. they are very expensive as well. i'm sure i'll come back, but i hope the menu is consistent.
They aren’t equipment for foot traffic . Terrible service . Wasnt greeted at the door. No menu was presented . No water was brought upon being seated . No beers on draft even though they have the kegs . The wine pours are small. The kitchen is slow . This place is all show . WOULD NEVER COME HERE AGAIN . Just bought a beer , sparking water and wine. Not worth it !!
Had a terrible experience here. Came to celebrate a friend’s birthday and did not get greeted, did not get water nor any menus. I eventually got up to order something at the bar. After 20 mins, the server never came, we left and ate fried chicken next door. Friends who ate the food say it was very expensive and small portions.
