In Short – El Metate's enormous burritos push the boundaries of the standard Mission taqueria. Freshly steamed tortillas are stuffed with unusual fillings, such as a vegetarian melange of freshly sauteed zucchini, carrots and broccoli, and the shrimp special, a blend of beaten egg and chopped shrimp, topped with nopales in a spicy red sauce.

Good burrito
by JYelpdog at Citysearch
They have a really good chicken burrito. And the staff is nice too. It is located in random corner of the mission, they've expanded their dining room space significantly next door.
- Pros: chips
- Cons: random location

Best home-made Mexican food in the Mission
by lukeshepard at Citysearch
These folks know how to make their burritos. Everyone who works there is part of the same family, and you get a great vibe. We eat here at least once a week - the fish tacos are fantastic!
- Pros: Family owned, very friendly, excellent healthy food
- Cons: Can have long lines, tight space

yummy fish tacos!
by anesejatina at Citysearch
We had amazing fish tacos and quesadilla here and wouldn't mind having more. : )
Parking was a bit laborious but this spot was definitely worth it.
Don't be fooled, for the handicap entry there are another set of doors that can accomodate someone in a wheelchair..
- Cons: Parking

Yu-um!
by ohiochick at Citysearch
Ok, I've only been here once, but it was fantastic! Great nachos...but that's not too hard....and the BEST pork tamale I have ever had! Normally tamales are light on the fillings...but not here. Plus, you can't go wrong with the prices!
- Pros: Best tamale ever
- Cons: none
