About El Metate

El Metate is a hidden gem. The food is SO GOOD, made to order, and tastes really fresh. The guacamole tasted fresh, and even the lettuce was fresh. The Arroz Con Pollo is the best ever had, and the Tacos birria were phenomenal. The steak bowl was absolutely delicious. The servings were HUGE, with leftovers even with sharing. A meal with 3 meats, two appetizers, and a michelada drink was less than $45. The place is extremely clean and very inviting. The customer service and care to help was genuine and rare. Everyone working was very friendly. Service was a tad slow, but they seem like a smaller operation, so they can be given a pass. The food really tasted like it was made with love. The place reminds of the old school roadside Mexican restaurants from the past. It makes the other place in Amelia look really bad. It will definitely be a regular stop and go to place from now on. Definitely worth checking this place out.

The chicken fajita bowl was not only delicious but beautifully assembled. Service was fast and the server was attentive. Will return next time I’m in Amelia.
The absolute best Arroz Con Pollo I've ever had. Guacamole tasted fresh. Servuce was a tad slow but they seem like a smaller operation so I can give them a pass. Food really tasted like it was made with love. And the place reminds of the old school roadside Mexican restaurants from the pest. Will definitely make it a regular stop on the way from Richmond
Hidden Gem! I stopped in this place & the food was SO GOOD! Everything was made to order & tasted really fresh. My boyfriend & I shared a two appetizers, meal with 3 meats, & michelada drink for less than $45. The servings were HUGE too & still had leftovers, even with sharing. Everyone working was very friendly. Definitely coming back!
