“VERY GOOD. I almost gave it a 5. The pasta is overcooked so I would ask for al dente next time. The linguine carbonara was the star - definitely getting it again.

The penne with sausage was good but id try something else next time

Drinks were just ok, maybe they were having an off day.“

Torta

“HOLY COW!! This taco truck is fantastic. Ate here 5 times and everytime hit harder than the last. The ladies running it are super nice and helpful. The tacos are so tasty (may need a little more meat) and made to perfection. The gordita is a force to be reckoned with, bursting with flavor and so worth its weight in gold. All around great food truck... can of diet coke $4 was the only meh moment for me.“

“Living just two blocks away, I made it a weekly ritual to dine here, and it remains my absolute favorite spot for street tacos. While I miss the salsa bar, a casualty of the pandemic, it was heartening to find the tacos tasting just as delicious as they did six years ago during my recent work trip. It's reassuring to see that this gem is still thriving.“

“Great experience at Los Metates. I ordered tripa tacos, nicely crispy, and carnitas tacos—both were delicious and full of flavor.
My husband ordered carnitas tacos as well, and even though I don’t remember the other one he chose, I know he loved them because he devoured them!

The service was good; the girl who helped us was friendly and attentive. The place is calm and comfortable, with tables available to sit and enjoy your food.
Definitely a spot we would come back to.“

“Best carne asada burrito I’ve had for a long time. I see people complaining about the prices… this is probably one of the LOWEST prices in the Bay Area you’d find ANYWHERE. When I first came here the SUPER burritos were $10! This wasn’t long ago either, literally this year. I understand the recent price increases and still $12 for. SUPER burritos is INSANE.“

My favorite order is their carne asada that comes with rice, beans , cheese, avocado, grilled onions and tomatoes, lettuce, and tortillas. The servings are very generous and everything is tasty. We always order chips to go with our meal. They are open from 11am until late at night, so it's very convenient to grab a meal here.“

“The pink pancakes, huevos rancheros and chiliques were outstanding. Loved the food. The place is in an odd location: industrial fruit packing district in a weird parking lot. We didn’t think we were at the right place because of all the fork lifts. Server was lovely. It’s not the best atmosphere for breakfast but the food was good.“
