About us

Opened on Bryant Street in 2002, this locally owned taqueria is led by Francisco Hernandez. At our restaurant, every visit is meant to feel fun and fabulous. With brightly painted walls, bumping music, energetic and friendly staff, and a colorful dining room accented by hand-painted Talavera pottery, the space reflects the lively character of the neighborhood it calls home.

The menu brings together famous fish tacos, delicious tortas, big burritos, tasty quesadillas, nachos, flan, and tamarind horchata. Handmade tortillas and a fresh salsa bar anchor the experience, while vegan and vegetarian options ensure variety across the board. El Metate Restaurant continues to serve its community with consistency, energy, and a welcoming spirit.
