" I absolutely love El Metate! It’s small but full of character. The staff feels like family, and the food is as authentic as it gets. I can never get enough of their barbacoa—it’s just heavenly! The only thing that keeps it from being perfect is that sometimes it can get crowded, and there’s a wait. Worth it every time, though! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place really exceeded my expectations! The gorditas were filled generously, and the flavors reminded me of home-cooked meals from my childhood. It’s truly authentic Mexican food! Although the staff seemed busy, they managed to get my order right. I highly recommend this spot to anyone craving genuine Mexican flavors in Fort Worth! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried many Mexican places in Fort Worth, but El Metate takes the cake for authenticity! The flavors remind me of home, and I feel like I'm getting a taste of Mexico with each bite. While the restaurant needs to work on improving its service, that won’t keep me away from their delicious food. Every visit is enjoyable, and I leave satisfied every time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit, and it was decent but not great. I had the beef vegetable soup, which didn’t have much meat, mostly cabbage, unfortunately. It lacked depth in taste, and I honestly expected more given its reputation. The environment was fine, no complaints, just the food wasn’t what I thought it would be. Maybe I’ll try something else next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" An interesting experience overall. The food was good, but I left wanting more seasoning. I tried the chili relleno, and the flavors were mild. The atmosphere felt like a typical fast-casual restaurant; I wasn’t blown away. I had to wait a long time to order, and that put a damper on my visit. I might give them another chance, but it’s a maybe. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon El Metate and decided to give it a shot. I ordered the chicken flautas and caldo de res. The flautas could have used more seasoning, and I didn’t think they were very filling. The caldo, on the other hand, was delicious and comforting. It was a mixed experience, but I appreciated the authenticity of the dishes. I may come back to explore other options. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ideal for a quick bite, El Metate packs a punch with flavor and authenticity. The tortas are huge and loaded with fresh ingredients. I always appreciate the robust flavors, which remind me of my trips across the border. However, the atmosphere can feel a bit drab at times—a little sprucing up would go a long way. Still, I think they provide good value for the money! " (*Curated Review*)
