Stepping into Taqueria El Metate feels like opening a gateway to comforting, vibrant flavors that honor every craving. The menu is a playground for burrito lovers, with the Burrito Enchilada Style as a must-try—stuffed, saucy, and kissed with melted cheese that clings lovingly to every bite. The Espresso Burrito is a wild card, infusing your meal with a hint of bold, roasty flavor, while the Super Fish Burrito balances freshness and heft.
Taco enthusiasts will appreciate their lineup: Shrimp Tacos bursting with citrusy snap, Fish Tacos that remain tender under their lightly crisp edges, and the Veggie Taco offering a bright, herbaceous option. If you’re feeling indulgent, the Super Nachos or Super Quesadilla Marina are layered with melty cheese and well-seasoned meats, making each bite a satisfying pull of richness.
For heartier cravings, the Chimichanga comes crisp and golden, while their Mexican Sandwich (Torta) is stacked generously, making it an underrated gem. Combo seekers can dive into plates like the #15 Arroz Con Pollo or #19 Chicken Fajitas, which arrive sizzling with peppers and onions, or the comforting #5 Two Enchiladas with Rice & Beans.
Seafood lovers aren’t left out, with the Coctel de Camarón for a bright, zesty start, or the 7 Mares if you’re ready to dive into a bowl of seafood comfort. Even the Kid’s Plate offers a warm, simple introduction to Mexican flavors for younger palates.
Every visit to Taqueria El Metate’s menu feels like a layered journey: whether it’s a regular flour quesadilla for a quick lunch, a deluxe tostada on the side, or a hearty super taco, each item feels like a homey, generous embrace wrapped in the scents of freshly grilled tortillas and spice.
