If you’re thinking about going here, don’t waste your money. I was recommended this restaurant by two of my friends since I am still kind of new to the area and don’t know any good mexican places. I was so astonished by the crappy service that I received after having high hopes. We asked for cheese dip and didn’t get that until after we got our food and had to remind our server of it. Once we got our food we didn’t even have napkins or silverware to eat with it and someone else had to bring it to us. Meanwhile we still hadn’t seen our server since she got our drink and food order. We didn’t see her until after we had got half way through our food and finally got to ask about our cheese dip. She brought it immediately but then after that we didn’t see her until we were completely done with our food and waiting for our checks. Once we finally got those she never came to pick them up and got someone else too. And then she thanked us and disappeared again. So disappointing and don’t recommend because it’s not like the food made up for the service either.

p.s. the salsa was basically just red colored water.

El Metate is our go to Mexican restaurant in Hixson! We come every week, and the food never disappoints! We had amazing service today by Emerson P, who provides efficient and friendly service every time! He knows what we want before we ever order! El Metate will always have our business!

I’ll never come back here for a meal . I’ve ate here a total of 4 times and I’ve not once received what I’ve ordered . This passed Sunday me and my wife met with a friend here for lunch and once again wrong food. I told our waiter he took the plate and brought it back immediately to tell me it is what I ordered #19 but they got one of the items on my plate wrong . (Kinda like oh well we’re not making it right ) so I just took it anyways but a few moments later my wife found hair in her meal .I again told the waiter and said we were done he said he would get the manager but he never came to our table I Paid the bill and left without even a apology offered I’ll never come back

Seems to be going downhill fast, cold chips “oh the machine is broken”, food is just not as good as it used to be.

Great neighborhood Mexican restaurant. I have the fajitas and my wife had the tacos. Both were excellent.

Employees stole $500 headset of daughter that was left behind on seat and when returned and asked denied it and refused to be helpful in any way and acted busy and short with daughter and was rude

Amazing food, good price, and great service.
Outside patio that still allows smoking is a huge plus.
