The menu is gigantic, offering just about everything, but your best bets are the daily specials , a rotating selection of dishes that come with one of their excellent aguas frescas . Read more
It is the kind of place where giant scoops of rice and refried beans take up half of your colossal plate, with a little dusting of cheese over the beans and a salad stacked into one corner. Read more
The entrees at El Metate are hearty and often covered in sauce, whether it’s a burrito or tampiqueña or a heaping helping of carne asada and chorizo cooked together in their salsa molcajete . Read more
This little dive is a hidden treasure . I have been a customer for at least 9 years. Everything is delicious, and family owned and operated. Cheese Enchiladas are the bomb
The chairs aren’t particularly comfortable , sometimes the TV is too loud , and the lighting isn’t ideal, but that only adds to the charm. Read more
They happily serve off menu items like spinach enchiladas and tacos de papa so don't be afraid to ask. Get an egg added to your chilaquiles .
The Fresh Watermelon Water is Delicious. Not Too Sweet. Just Right :)
The salsa that comes with the chips is GREAT. Chicken quesadilla was pretty good too :)
Try the salsas . The orange looking one is great with chips . The horchata is awesome. Fresh and not too sweet.
Great Service and Great Food !!
I was once told by a Mehicano that El Metate translates to The Stone Thing.
BEST MEXICAN FOOD PLACE ON EARTH!!
Potato Tacos.. Get them!! :+)
Check out the bullfighter photograph on the wall. Ask about it.
HORRIBLE SERVICE Do Not go here if you are a woman; the man behind the counter is incredible condescending! Full review on Yelp
