Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I love El Matate. My wife and I stumbled across this place a couple years ago and for about six months couldn't go a week without stopping by for a large Horchata and some tacos or an order of Super Nachos to share. My wife loves the street tacos and the beef tacos. I also like the beef but love the chicken tacos. Great service and very reasonable pricing. As I am writing this I am realizing that I have not been there in a while and am now craving it like crazy. Late night taco run anyone?

Not a great dine-in experience. The restaurant was clean and appeared to be fairly well maintained. However, the staff was not friendly or knowledgeable and the food was just so-so. The cheap, flimsy silverware and foam plates were a terrible combination with hot, heavy, wet food. Maybe a take-out experience would be better? We ordered: 1) #19 chimichanga plate (large chimi - guacamole, sour cream, lettuce and pico de gallo on top - rice and beans on the side.) It comes as a beef chimi. We paid extra to make it chicken, which i foubd ridiculous! There were rice and beans inside the chimi as well as on the side. The beans were really good, authentic Mexican refried beans! The chicken, while tasty, was very wet (too wet) and left a puddle on the plate and provide a sloppy (instead of crisp) chimi. The rice was way too salty and lacked any real Mexican flavor. 2) Chicken burrito. This was for a picky eater so we requested chicken and cheese only. It was loaded with onions and green chilis. Needless to say, the picky eater was not a happy camper. Again, the chicken was VERY soupy/wet. The soft flour tortilla was soggy. Served with a side of lettuce and pico de gallo. Most of this order ended up in the trash. :( 3) Bacon and eggs burrito. (The menu says these are only served in the morning, but we were told they could make them anytime.) This was 90% bacon, 10% egg with a sprinkle of cheese. Because it was mostly bacon, it was quite salty. Not very good; dry and greasy. 4) Beef burrito, enchilada style. Again, very wet, which would have been fine if the order had been done correctly and served on a plate enchilada style. What we got was a soft burrito wrapped in paper. At one point, juice actually squirted across the table when my hubby bit into it. Funny? Yes. Something you look for in a burrito? Not so much. 5) An order of super nachos (to share). We had high hopes for these after reading other reviews. They were maybe 2 - 3 stars (out of 5). The flavor was great! The chips were super thin (but very good) and could not hold all the stuff piled on top of them. The guacamole, beans, sour cream... all good. The meat was flavorful, but gristly and we kept having to spit little pieces out. Plan to eat with a fork if you order these. Not a good idea for sharing.

Place doesn't honor there entrainment book coupon. Says one item free with one menu item. Gave bs that it's combos only which cost more then the amount allowed on coupon. Place also smelled like feet. Glad I left without giving my business.

My wife and I have been coming to El Metate for at least 9 years and not once have they disappointed. Anything on there menu is fresh and authentic. I love my menudo on Saturdays and Sundays..
(5)Linda C.
I like this place. I've tried the tacos, rolled tacos, and the special of "2 mini cheese and bean burritos for 2.99". Those burritos were pretty big for being minis! I love the salsas ( the green is pretty hot). I did knock off a star because I feel Mexican places should always give Chips with all of their orders. Chips here will cost you 3 plus. That's ridiculous. But food is great. However the new place behind them may give them a run for their money. Their entrees already come with chips. It's TBD....

This is my favorite mexican place ever (even beats out my dad's taco truck). My personal favorite is a Carne Asada Burrito with a churro for dessert. But honestly everything is fanstastic! I have been coming here for my entire life and I hope to never stop!
(5)Sir Eats Alot E.
The chorizo and eggs are amazing. Asada street tacos are priced right at $1 each, the meat is tender, and taste great. The food is also authentic.
(5)Wendy O.
Not vegetarian friendly. They will not deviate from their menu to make the simple substitutions required to make vegetarian options. They are over priced. My bf says their meat stuff is tasty. Store never looks very clean and employees don't go out of their way to be friendly or helpful.
(1)Lindsay T.
I've been going here since 2005 and it hasn't changed a bit! The staff is friendly, but seem kind of shy. The food is always great and for the price, can't beat that. So much better than Filberto's. And it's super clean. Thanks for such a great little Mexican joint! The only request I have is you should add Al Pastor to your menu :)
(5)Suzanna P.
I do understand other reviewers that they don't have much of a menu, I have to say that their Supreme Quesadilla is good! I also recommend their chicken rolled tacos, they are flour, crispy and come with guacamole, for the price you pay , come on people... this is no steak house! So on average I would say MUCH BETTER than Filiberto's across the way!.
(4)Michael W.
Really good shrimp burritos and fish ones werent to bad either. Fairly friendly place.

Not much around this area so my options were limited. I asked what was best and ended up with a carne asada burrito. The tortilla was homemade and delicious as well as the salsas (although lacking much heat). The beef was of low quality. I think people come here for the price based on the area, prices of food, and quality. I would come back but try a different type of burrito. Nice people and typical hole in the wall Mexican restaurant atmosphere.
(3)John K.
Just ok. Nothing to go out of your way for. I had the chicken combo plate. I was hoping to find the so called "hole in the wall" that is an undiscovered gem, but nothing but average.
