Los Metates

Right in DT south city, this is a low key spot where the plates are super tasty!! With La Tapatia around the corner, if you don't feel like waiting in that line then bring that azz over here!! lol Been going here for years with my fam and it is such a solid spot you really can't leave unsatisfied. 10/10 is what I said but don't take my word for it, try it for yourself!!

Shout out to my brother's friend, Carlos, for introducing us to this place. He claimed it's was "the best burrito in the Bay Area" and we were not disappointed, 10/10! We tried the chicken burrito and the carne asada burrito and split them to try both. The rice has good flavor, not dry, the chicken is seasoned, the beans are well cooked, and the guacamole has the perfect consistency to add flavor and moisture to the burrito so you enjoy it in every bite. The ingredients are perfectly balanced and there's flavor and happiness in every bite. The horchata is nostalgic. It reminds me of my mom's horchata. Overall, service was great, food was even better, and I will definitely be coming back.

Really great all around. Good meats like lengua and cabesa. Good portions in the tacos. The quesadilla is big too and uses Oaxaca cheese. The menudo on weekends is big and hearty. The horchata is gigantic. They were patient too. Our first time we took forever to order and they still answered questions.

Frequent consumer of Los Metates and the quality is top notch in addition to the great service. 10/10 would recommend if you're around and hungry.

First time ordering to go from this restaurant. We had the super nachos and carne asada plate. Super nachos- loaded with meat and everything. I read one of the reviews that nachos are thicker compared to other restaurant nachos and yes thumbs up for that.Carne asada plate- just 2 garnish on the meat sliced grilled white onions and grilled jalapeño. I love the meat when you can see the grilled mark and grilled taste and simple garnish but the taste is there!! Overall we love it...I guess this is a cash only restaurant.

I've been trying out the mexican spots near my office and this place is pretty solid. My favorite thing is that they have Lengua, Cabeza, Buche and Tripitas :)I've had the Al Pastor and Carne Asada so far, both are great.Things are very reasonably priced and the staff is very friendly.They have a maybe not-so-secret back patio too if you're looking for some al fresco dining, highly recommend that.I defo recommend it.

The spot is small but very cozy. I walked in very hungry and with zero expectations - just rolling the dice hoping that the food was good and I'm so glad that I did! the food was bomb. I got 2 tacos de asada & 1 platter. The green salsa and sesame seed salsa were bomb! The meat was also so tasty in comparison to other Mexican food spots in the Bay Area and the services was kind and checked in a couple times to ensure we were well taken care of. I will for sure be going back

Came in on Saturday around lunch time, there was no one there but it looked like before we came in there had been a few people there as there was tables with plates on them. Ordered a super burrito , 2 asada tacos , 1 Cabeza taco,a torta cubana, a jarrito and a canned coke for a total of $48.00 . -Al pastor Burrito was a 9/10 it was flavorful and really good. -asada tacos were 9/10 again the asada was full of flavor and tortillas were good. -torta cubana was 7/10 wasn't a traditional torta cubana as it didn't have the milanesa im use to inside of it. Flavors were ok not bad still edible. - Cabeza taco I would rate a 5/10 for the reason being that it had an after taste if you have eaten cabeza before you know what I'm talking about , It doesn't always have that flavor but for some reason at some restaurants it does. Would I go back ? Yes, but I would definitely try the other items on their menu !

The stickiest floors I've ever walked on. The burrito was meh ... The restaurant is in despair and needs to be updated. I wouldn't recommend with so many other choices near by.

Very nice and clean restaurant. The employees are courteous and attentive to customers. The food is excellent and the servings are more than plentiful! Highly recommend and will definitely return!
