El Metate

Hands down my favorite Mexican food in the Mission. They serve fresh ingredients and an amazing house made salsa bar . The service and staff are the kindest people. I’ve been going for years!!!

Their super fish burrito *may* be my most favorite burrito in San Francisco. Get it super (guacamole , sour cream , cheese ), black beans , no rice , dorado (extra time on the grill) style.

ok - the fish burrito is a must have and a nice change. friendly staff . chips included and the place looks great (inside and outside). $7.50 for a delicious burrito incl tax is a good deal .

Must get the fish burrito . It's loaded up with light, flaky, tender white fish and all of the usually burrito fixings. Great flavors, cheap price, and very filling. WinstonWanders.com

Go here for the quesadilla filled with chicken and three kinds of cheese , served with guacamole and salsa . Also exceptional are the soft tacos with velvety pork in a tangy chile verde sauce . Read more

Will return to try the super fish burrito . The regular fish burrito was not that flavorful. I'll have to try the super fish burrito in all fairness . I'll update the tip.

Carnitas is flavorful here and doesn’t have the nasty boiled looked / texture that you get at El Faralito and other Mission burrito places.

They do a nice job if you get three tacos to go. ???? ???? ????

I've had a lot of burritos in my day. From the best in Boston and NYC nothing compares to this. Everything is so fresh and full of flavor. Get the carnitas burrito and thank me afterwards.

Perhaps the best Mexican food in the City . House made chips make for great nachos and the burritos can't be beat.

Solid Mexican food . The tamales are great and so is the chicken mole plate.

Had a bangin' milanesa torta that comes with a small side of chicken tortilla soup . They have a salsa bar with a must try cantaloupe salsa . Everything tastes fresh and delicious.

One of the first veggie burritos I've had in SF with more veggies than just salsa and lettuce. Seriously delicious and filling for only $7!

Chile verde taco was tasty, very well done. The chicken quesadilla was very large but amazing! Don’t forget to check out the salsa bar in the seating area.

In my opinion this place has the best vegetarian burritos in the mission. For meat burritos there are better options on 24th but if you are vegetarian this is your best bet.

We went right at lunch time and it was super crowded and took about 30 minutes to get our food. But as soon as I bit into my torta a la mexicana I didn't care about the wait. The food was delicious.

Authentic Mexican with a great selection of salsas and a few beers on hand. Try the El Pastor carnitas tacos for the ultimate experience.

The most delicious quesadilla crisp to perfection. Hands down the best I've ever had in Mission. Portions are excellent. I eat it for lunch+dinner!

The place that made me realize I know nothing about Mexican cuisine . Whatdya mean, carrots and broccoli can be good in burritos !? Aka best veggie burrito in the area.

Amaaaaizing food. The Burritos are excellent. So are the Enchiladas and Quesadillas . The complimentary guacamole is fantastic too. Order everything.

Tacos , enchiladas , double fried chips , salas bar and horchata . This place surprised me.

Their carne asada super burrito has different cheese (cotija ?) and ratios than most other mission burritos . Worth making the trek for.

Special mole (chicken ) with beans and tortillas . No rice as requested.

This is the Mercedes Benz of Mission guacamole

One of the lesser frequented Mexican joints, nonetheless great food + lots of seating

They do the best homemade agua fresca . Ask for the daily flavors.

Summer in SF sometimes means having a nice hot bowl of Pozole ! ????

Good tightly rolled burrito - gonna pass on the Carnitas next time - a bit too pig lard-y for my taste but could see other people really liking it!

The pork tacos , side rice and tortilla chips are delicious. Delicious food and excellent service.

After trying vegetarian burritos all over the city , this place has the best.

The burritos are magical. You can order meat + veggie for a great mix.

Super authentic mexican food , chill atmosphere and huge portions ✌????

Chicken mole and carne asada burritos are delicious.

Get the green salsa with the onions in it. Tasty and spicy !

at $5 (+$1 for cheese , sour cream , guacamole ), El Metate has the most reasonably priced fish burrito in town - and quite tasty too.

Excellent chile verde and a very tightly wrapped burrito .

So much food. Portions are huge. Price, resasonable. Taste, good. Visit here again? Yes.

Super burritos are good. Horchata is great. Chips are surprisingly good too.

grilled veggie burrito w fresh mango salsa (avail in the salsa bar ) is the bomb!!

Everything is amazing, but I love the quesadillas . Salsa bar has excellent options

Grilled Chicken Burrito w/refried beans and cheese only and a cup of Horchata is like a slice of sexy heaven when you are seriously hankering for goodness or drunk or high or anytime for that matter!

It's a good place if you want to sit down - for once - while eating Mexican food .

Quesadillas with.chicken are the best food we stay order ever time we stop by by the way NACHO with steak , OMG!!!! One word DELICIOUS

Really great burritos . A little smaller than your typical Mission burrito .

The vegetarian burritos , quesadillas and nachos have legitimate veggies in them. Good stuff.

Without question the best burrito in the mission.

The mole here is the best! I recommend the mole burrito !

The flour chips are amazing. Ask for them but they usually say no. What gives?

This was my first love when it comes to Mission taquerias . No frills. Straight up carne asada burrito .

A little greasy but overall delicious burritos . Definitely worth the trek.
