" Most authentic Mexican food I’ve had in Nashville! The place is a bit cramped, but the food more than makes up for it. Make sure to try the carne asada. It’s absolutely amazing and cooked just right! If you're looking for atmosphere, this might not be your spot, but the flavors are superb! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Metate recently and enjoyed my time there. The tacos al pastor were juicy and filled with flavor. However, I felt like the service was rushed, which took away from the overall experience. Still worth a visit for the food! " (*Curated Review*)
