About El Metate

El Metate offers very good, well-priced, classic Mexican food with a salsa bar for everyone. The enchiladas are a must-try, and the burritos are impressive, with all the ingredients coming together to create a divine dish. The restaurant is usually calm, kid-friendly, and has great vegetarian options, making it a solid choice for families. Recently, customers have praised the tasty comfort food and highlighted dishes like the carnitas torta and steak nachos, noting the well-seasoned meats and the extra juicy carnitas. Even on busy nights, the food arrives quickly, and the staff is attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Customers also enjoyed the free mixed corn and flour chips, the beautifully stuffed and wrapped mission burrito, and the variety of salsas and sauces, including a warm salsa. The decor is described as down to earth yet thoughtful and colorful, and the dishes, including the vegetarian burrito, are considered a rare steal in San Francisco.
