" A fantastic spot for a casual meal! The tacos were both tasty and filling. I particularly enjoyed their green salsa, which had the right amount of heat. The restaurant has a lovely outdoor seating area. It can get quite busy, but the staff manages it well. Definitely will be back soon to try more from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is an absolute must-visit! There's nothing fancy about it, but it delivers on taste and authenticity. Their shrimp tacos and queso are phenomenal. It was a joyous moment when I took my first bite of the tacos - truly mouthwatering! Keep it up, Los Metates! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place turned out awesome! I tried their ceviche tostada, and it was so refreshing. The chips that came with it were perfect. Very tasty, and it didn’t make me feel heavy afterward. I'd love to come back and sample their tacos next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a delightful dinner at Los Metates. Everything feels fresh, and the service is very welcoming. The taco al pastor was a highlight, but I also enjoyed sampling the numerous salsas available. This is definitely a place to visit if you're in South San Francisco! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent taqueria with good options available. Their prices are fair, but I was hoping for a bit more spice in the flavors. The environment was pleasant and clean, which I always appreciate. It's certainly worth a stop if you're in the area, just don't expect something extravagant. " (*Curated Review*)

" Food was good but not overly impressive. My expectations were high based on previous reviews, yet it fell slightly flat. The service was attentive, and the seating is comfortable. I enjoyed the variety on offer, but I think consistency is key, and some dishes just weren't hitting right. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had mixed feelings about my visit. The atmosphere was nice, but my chicken tacos weren’t very flavorful. The staff were polite but seemed a bit overwhelmed during the afternoon rush, which might have caused the food to be rushed as well. I may return for another try, as I want to see if it was just an off day. " (*Curated Review*)
