El Metate

I can't believe how lucky we are to get another taqueria in this part of town. I really enjoyed my first visit to El Metate, and look forward to more. For my first visit, I ordered a couple tacos (asada and pastor), a chicken and chorizo gordita, and an elite to go. The TL;DR version: Everything was good. Everything would have been better with a little more salt.Their Agua de Jamaica was refreshing without being overly sweet. Some sorrel drinks I've had were cloyingly sweet. I liked the salsa that came with the complimentary chips. You tasted the peppers more than tomatoes, but not a lot of heat. The single-tortilla tacos are a little larger than your typical street tacos. I stick with meat, onions, and cilantro, but I appreciate they had cheese, lettuce and pico for those who want to add it. The asada had a nice, meaty flavor, and the pastor was cooked well. They would have been even better had the meat been seasoned more. I added salt, but it's never quite the same. My favorite was the gordita. Again, a little salt would help, but I loved the chicken/chorizo combo. The masa was perfect and didn't fall apart like a lot of other gorditas I've eaten. Had I thought of it, I'd have added some of the elote. Definitely give these folks a shot. The service was friendly and attentive. It's a small place, but you can tell they've done a lot of cleaning.

Omg omg omg best Mexican restaurant! Hidden gem for sure!!! I've tried most of their menu every time I go and so far all have exceed my expectations. The flautas and tacos dorados are amazing! And their spicy salsa roja is fire!!!! Customer service also they are always so welcoming and nice! Them aguas frescas are also freshly made and not store bought! Kid friendly and inclusiveness! Clean restaurant too! Love love how they brought Mexican flavors to the eastside! Great job guys!!!!

Super cute family owned business. Service is amazing! Food is all freshly made including the chips and corn tortillas. The chicken enchiladas and burritos are delicious! We will definitely be back to try out something else on the menu!

This place is bursting with flavor and authenticity. Absolutely must try- it has become one of my regular spots for lunch! The staff are all so friendly and knowledgeable they really put a lot of love into the food. Delightfully cute atmosphere and ambiance! Love Love Love!!

Been there multiple times over the past 8 months and they never fail to disappoint my favorite place in Oklahoma they treat their customers like family and always go above and beyond they'll most def see me again #number1customer

Third time was definitely the charm! My friend and I tried two different times to get lunch at El Metate, good they were closed when Google said they were open. So glad we tried that third time! The food was really great and the staff was SO NICE!

My first time trying this restaurant and I will be back. Food was delicious and everyone is so friendly. Cute place.

Top Notch. Small restaurant, but big taste. Excelent taco's, the fried pork tacos were superb, give them a shot. I have passed by this location 50 times and today I stopped, honestly I didn't realize they were there till today. Someone at the next table got a sandwich called the "Torta 'Estilo Juaritos" it look wonderful. Service was quick and freindly. The only downside was the chips and salsa were not included, but that didn't loose a star.
