Right in DT south city, this is a low key spot where the plates are super tasty!! With La Tapatia around the corner, if you don't feel like waiting in that line then bring that azz over here!! lol
Been going here for years with my fam and it is such a solid spot you really can't leave unsatisfied. 10/10 is what I said but don't take my word for it, try it for yourself!!Helpful 3Thanks 2Love this 1Oh no 0 - May 5, 2023
Shout out to my brother's friend, Carlos, for introducing us to this place. He claimed it's was "the best burrito in the Bay Area" and we were not disappointed, 10/10!
We tried the chicken burrito and the carne asada burrito and split them to try both. The rice has good flavor, not dry, the chicken is seasoned, the beans are well cooked, and the guacamole has the perfect consistency to add flavor and moisture to the burrito so you enjoy it in every bite. The ingredients are perfectly balanced and there's flavor and happiness in every bite.
The horchata is nostalgic. It reminds me of my mom's horchata.
Overall, service was great, food was even better, and I will definitely be coming back.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - May 28, 2023
Really great all around.
Good meats like lengua and cabesa. Good portions in the tacos. The quesadilla is big too and uses Oaxaca cheese. The menudo on weekends is big and hearty. The horchata is gigantic.
They were patient too. Our first time we took forever to order and they still answered questions.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mrs. S.CA, CA01524Jan 21, 2024
Came in on Saturday around lunch time, there was no one there but it looked like before we came in there had been a few people there as there was tables with plates on them.
Ordered a super burrito , 2 asada tacos , 1 Cabeza taco,a torta cubana, a jarrito and a canned coke for a total of $48.00 .
-Al pastor Burrito was a 9/10 it was flavorful and really good.
-asada tacos were 9/10 again the asada was full of flavor and tortillas were good.
-torta cubana was 7/10 wasn't a traditional torta cubana as it didn't have the milanesa im use to inside of it. Flavors were ok not bad still edible.
- Cabeza taco I would rate a 5/10 for the reason being that it had an after taste if you have eaten cabeza before you know what I'm talking about , It doesn't always have that flavor but for some reason at some restaurants it does.
Would I go back ? Yes, but I would definitely try the other items on their menu !Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Apf 3.Clovis, CA04Jun 1, 2024

I have been going to Los metates since I was a kid with my family and as an adult I loved going as well however as of recently the last 4 times I've gone, their burritos have gotten extremely salty and I can't even eat it anymore. I don't know if it's the meat or the guacamole but all I taste when I eat my burrito is salt. Definitely willing to give it a try again but I hope they tone it down on the salt.

First time ordering to go from this restaurant. We had the super nachos and carne asada plate.
Super nachos- loaded with meat and everything. I read one of the reviews that nachos are thicker compared to other restaurant nachos and yes thumbs up for that.
Carne asada plate- just 2 garnish on the meat sliced grilled white onions and grilled jalapeño. I love the meat when you can see the grilled mark and grilled taste and simple garnish but the taste is there!! Overall we love it...I guess this is a cash only restaurant.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Rogelio C.Central San Jose, San Jose, CA0324Jul 5, 2023

I ordered the caldo de res with two super tacos one beef and the other carnitas. The caldo was warm hearty with a nice portion. The meat was tender and the vegetables were soft. The tacos were big. the beef was grilled just right and the carnitas were roasted to perfection. I ordered with my eyes and ended up taking the tacos home for later.
