About Tacos El Metate

Tacos El Metate serves delicious food, particularly the green Chile, which is considered the best in Denver. The smothered bacon burrito is a popular choice, and the barbacoa burrito and enchiladas verdes de pollo are also highly recommended. The restaurant is busy, which is a good sign, and has a convenient location with plentiful parking options, although some find the parking lot a bit sketchy. Prices are reasonable, and food is served quickly. Customers find the counter service friendly and fast, with a large chalk menu offering a variety of tacos, tortas, and plates for every palate. The fish tacos, lightly battered and fried to perfection, remain a favorite, served on small corn tortillas with sliced radishes and limes. The Salsa Bar has been recently expanded and is considered awesome, featuring at least 8 different salsas ranging from mild to 🔥 fire, including a new habanero salsa that is 4 alarm. The addition of a large molcajete filled with grilled jalapeños is seen as brilliant. While the food quality remains good, some customers note that the appearance of the restaurant has declined, with bathrooms and floors not being kept clean and in need of repairs. Prices can be high, especially for larger orders, and some find the bathrooms and floors sketchy. Overall, the restaurant offers quick service, tasty food, and a variety of salsas, but cleanliness and maintenance could be improved. Customers express a strong desire to return for more authentic tacos and burritos, making this a beloved spot for many.
