" I had high expectations going into Tacos El Metate after hearing such great things. Unfortunately, my experience wasn’t quite what I hoped for. The birria tacos were dry and lacked flavor. Although the staff was friendly, the service was slow, and my meal took longer than I expected to arrive. On a positive note, the salsas were excellent, and the ambiance was appealing. I'm willing to give it another shot someday, hoping for better quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stop raving about Tacos El Metate! The food is phenomenal! The carne asada fries were generously portioned and fully loaded. Although it was a bit busy, our order was prepared promptly, and the staff was kind. This place is a gem for anyone craving authentic Mexican food. It's a bit of a drive for me, but I'd gladly make the trek for the quality I receive here. Don’t skip the salsas; they elevate the meal to another level! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos El Metate has been my favorite taco place for years! Their al pastor tacos remind me of my childhood in Mexico. The flavors are authentic, and the service has always been friendly. I sometimes wish they had more seating as it can get crowded during peak hours, but it’s worth the wait. I love how you can pick from a variety of salsas—they make each bite exciting. If you haven't been here yet, you're truly missing out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tacos El Metate has become my go-to spot in Aurora for tacos! The horchata is refreshingly sweet, and the tacos are bursting with flavor. I personally loved the al pastor and the shrimp tacos. The atmosphere is casual, and the service was friendly. However, I did notice during my last visit that the tables could use a bit more attention as they were not cleaned quickly enough. Overall, a fantastic experience and I look forward to coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing experience at Tacos El Metate during my latest visit. The steak tacos were bland and didn’t have the punch I was hoping for. The atmosphere was nice, with cheerful décor, but it didn't make up for the lack of flavor in the food. The service was decent, but my craving for authentic flavors was not satisfied this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited Tacos El Metate for dinner, and I must say, the experience was delightful! We tried a range of dishes, but the asada tacos were the star of the show. They were incredibly tender and flavorful, complemented perfectly by the fresh salsas from the salsa bar. The staff was efficient, and the atmosphere was casual yet inviting. I could really taste the authenticity in the food, reminding me of my trips to Mexico. I left feeling satisfied and eager to return soon. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Tacos El Metate, but sadly, my meal did not live up to expectations. The barbacoa tacos were dry, and the seasoning could have been better. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was lively, but the quality of the food is what really matters to me. I would consider giving them another shot but I'm hesitant after this visit.
