Good food, and excellent service, a no frills place, and you certainly won't leave hungry. We ordered Caldo de Res, and the veggis Super Burrito - and let me tell you, the burrito was indeed Super!!! It came with chips and house salsa. The portions are very generous and we could've shared just one burrito and still have some left over. The service was just excellent, very friendly and welcoming, adding more chips or salsa if you ran out... just like you'd feel at grandma's place. My wife is Mexican and she was very happy indeed with her soup, i.e. Caldo!! Bravo, Los Metates!! Thank you for a fantastic lunch!!

Found this taqueria a week ago, and let me tell you all, to me it’s the best taqueria in this area, including the ones I’ve been going to in the mission district. I got a pastor burrito and it was the best I had ever. Definitely going back, and highly recommend this taqueria if you want great food. Also the staff is amazing and very friendly.

Found this place through other's reviews. I got the super carne asada burrito. Steak was cooked on the spot and not just sitting around like some other places where it can get dry and tough to chew. Overall blended well with other ingredients. Friendly customer service and standard pricing for the area. Only drawback is parking is very limited. Fortunately I was with someone and they dropped me off as they waited a few steps at the 76 gas station. Will be coming back when I'm in the area.

This is the only place that offers fish or shrimp burrito. They also have the normal meats burritos which is very good however my favorite is the fish burrito. I know? Fish burrito. They have the fish burrito or shrimp which is very unusual. They not only have the fish burrito, they give you a lot. It’s enough to cover the entire burrito and not over cooked at all. In terms of meat, my husband’s favorite is the carne asada(beef) burrito or pork Al pastor( bbq pork). He also tried the chicken and he said it was a little bit too dry for him the meat.

3.30 plus tip. Might be error on cash register. 3.50 advertised price 8oz pinto beans cooked Complimentary chips Complimentary guacamole Complimentary Drink (water) kept cold in the refrigerator [purchasing bottle water available] This gives McDonald's a run for the value and it's healthy and local
