Tacos El Metate

Always a solid choice. Great asada breakfast burritos and burritos. The great thing is they serve the whole menu all day. Salsa bar is amazing also. Highly reccomend.

Came here on a Tuesday night with a few girlfriends. They have plenty of seating so we ordered to eat there. The food was delicious and honestly rivaled some of the Mexican food I have eating all my life while living in LA. My The only issue was the food (two tacos took over 25 minutes. My friends said that wasn't normal and normally it takes around 10 minutes. I come to this area a lot so I will give it another go and hopefully don't have to wait as long. I really enjoyed the barbacoa and pollo taco's I had and am looking forward to trying more things on the menu. Overall 3.5/5 stars

From their Carne Asada Fries, to their Tacos, and Horchata drinks are amazing! Salsa's are okay, I think they could be better for a Mexican restaurant. Overall quick, easy, and friendly staff.

There are few places that I catch myself returning to over and over again, and this is probably my number 1! I have been here at minimum once a month for the last year and the food is consistently fresh and flavorful. The vegan tacos and vegan and gluten free, but I add cheese to them. The roasted jalapeños that you can grab by the salsa bar add even more flavor to the meal. I recommend the salsa verde that is a yellow green color with the jalapeños on your tacos! The burritos are MASSIVE and my spouse can't stop ordering the barbacoa. You could easily make one burrito into two meals. The cucumber agua Fresca is my absolute favorite that I have tried, and is the perfect post hike hydration. I do recommend ordering online if you are in a rush on a weekend evening as they can become incredibly busy and table space is hard to come by- for a good reason!!

This is a great restaurant. The restaurant is clean and the ambience is really cool. I like the menu written on the black chalk board with all of the different ways a person can order tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and anything else. The staff is really kind and nice. They have excellent customer service. I enjoy the salsa bar.The first time I went, I ordered the Carne Asada burrito with no beans. I did not get a receipt so I had to guess what number I was because they were busy and I accidentally grabbed someone's burrito because it had beans in it. The quality of the burrito was still good even with the beans. The second time I went, I ordered the Carne Asada quesadilla. It was seasoned so well and delicious.This is definitely the Mexican restaurant. I will frequent in Aurora.

I went to Metate for lunch again today--on a bank holiday with unlimited time to go further. There aren't many reasons I brave the city of Aurora's civil engineers' sadistic I-225 crossings. They resemble the Great Wall of China, keeping Denverites at bay. Metate is worth enduring the fecklessly timed traffic lights on 6th, Alameda, and Mississippi. But I digress. My last review here came several years ago. This place deserves another star. While the asada, pastor, carnitas, barbacoa, and shrimp tacos can't lose, new items have been on my plate lately. The menu's expanded nicely. Two weeks ago, enchiladas verdes came Mexican-style w asadero and verde sauce. No green chile, No yellow cheese. Just delicious. Today, birria tacos took sabroso to new heights. Birria is trendy and found all over the Metro. I can't say I've had better. Five Front Range stars for overall taste, quality, and friendly/efficient service.

The area I was working out of for the week recommended I give this place a try after mentioning that I enjoyed Birria tacos. I'm glad I arrived when I did before place started to get busy just a little past 1100. The service was excellent and they were patient with me since it was my first time. My tacos were amazing, but I wish they would have offered me a fountain cup instead the large coke in a bottle, but that could have been on me. Overall, clean establishment and delicious food.

We called our order in. They require payment for ordering ahead which is fine, but the ask for how much tip to leave at the end had me LOL -- We had to go in and grab the order ourselves. When we got back to the vehicle we noticed there was no sauce so my wife had to go back in and grab the sauce at the sauce bar. So tell me what exactly are folks tipping for? The tacos were good. My wife ordered the Carnita Quesadilla and said it wasn't fatty. I enjoyed the Pastor. We picked this place because they had good reviews and the street taco prices seemed reasonable. Not a bad choice.

Stopped in for a breakfast taco. It was so good and the service was so friendly and engaging. Next time I'm in Aurora, I'll come back!

Zero Don't come to this place at all I got Food poisoning from them I ordered tripa tacos never again will i go here ever again that was the worst ever do not go here unless you want to get sick
