" So excited I found El Metate! The burrito I ordered was superb, full of spices and really fresh. I also enjoyed the self-serve salsa bar, which adds to the fun! Atmosphere is lively but casual. The service was okay, but I would love to see it improve in speed. Still, the authentic flavor keeps my spirits high. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed a lunch at El Metate and tried their quesadilla, which was cheesy and loaded with wholesome ingredients. I also appreciated the cleanliness of the place, making it quite pleasant to try. Service was cordial, but slightly slow during peak hours. If you're looking for an authentic Mexican meal with a family-friendly vibe, El Metate should be on your list. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Metate celebrates authentic Mexican vibes and flavors! The barbacoa I ordered was juicy and tender, showcasing the true taste of Mexico. However, I experienced long wait times for service, which made my experience less enjoyable. The ambiance felt familial and inviting, which I appreciated. I will definitely return to try more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Metate is my new favorite Mexican spot! The traditional flavors of the tacos remind me of my grandmother's cooking. The locations are quite spacious with a fun and colorful ambiance, perfect for family outings. While I thought the service was friendly, sometimes they seem a bit disorganized. That won’t stop me from returning, especially for their delicious birria tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Metate Taqueria has become our go-to spot after discovering its amazing burritos! I had the al pastor burrito which was mouthwatering, and the portion was enough to fill me up completely! The salsa bar is a great addition, ensuring each bite is as flavorful as possible. Keep in mind the decor is simple, and the place can get busy, leading to slightly longer service times. That said, the food makes it well worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love the authentic feel at El Metate! The specialty tacos are outstanding, and so is the portion size! The only downside was the wait staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, leading to slower service. But it didn’t ruin the great atmosphere or delicious food. Highly recommend trying their fish tacos too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Metate for lunch and the atmosphere was lively. I ordered the shrimp burrito, and while I enjoyed the fresh guacamole, the shrimp could have used more seasoning. Portions were solid, though! Service was friendly, but they seemed a bit overwhelmed during peak hours. Overall, a decent experience, and I would come back hoping for better shrimp next time. " (*Curated Review*)
