Talk about a hidden gem! If you wanna feel like your eating at your abuelitas kitchen than this is the place for you. Went with the work crew and as soon as we walk in they greet you with a smile. I had the flautas and my coworker had the torta with jarritos. They have great service and the food to match it. 10/10

I’m writing this review for my husband. He had lunch today & has been torturing me with his glowing account of his experience. Very clean atmosphere, friendly & fast service & everything tasted amazing. He can’t wait to go back & when he does, I expect him to bring a dinner (or 3) back home to me as I’m working during your hours of business. Your restaurant sounds wonderful! 5 Stars for you & only 1 star for my evil husband because he didn’t bring anything back for me.

The best Asada and Al Pastor I’ve ever had. I’m an out of state guy, love OKC and will definitely be back here this week! The owner is super nice and makes everything fresh and you can tell!

The food was so delicious and so authentic. You can actually see them in the kitchen cooking and the customer service was great as well.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at El Metate, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality and a vibrant atmosphere that sets the tone for a great meal. The decor is colorful and inviting, perfectly complementing the authentic Mexican vibes.
The menu is packed with classic dishes, and everything we tried was bursting with flavor. The carne asada tacos were a standout—tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection, served with fresh cilantro, onions, and a salsa that had just the right kick. The guacamole was clearly made in-house, with ripe avocados and a zesty twist of lime that made it irresistible. And don’t get me started on the enchiladas—smothered in a rich, smoky red sauce that left me scraping the plate for more.
The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the service is top-notch. Our server was attentive without hovering, and the food came out fast, hot, and beautifully presented. El Metate is the kind of place that makes you feel like family while delivering some of the best Mexican food around. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this gem is worth a visit. I’ll definitely be back for more!

Our favorite new spot. I lived in OKC years ago and still visit. Was disappointed our old place had closed. Read reviews and checked out this restaurant. Fantastic is the best word that comes to mind. The staff and owner were great. Service was great and the food was phenomenal. Portions were huge. They even brought us a sample of an item to taste the authenticness. Our new favorite spot. Reminded me of some quaint restaurants I had visited South of the border. Don’t pass this up.

This is the best authentic Mexican food that I’ve had in decades. My wife, daughter, and I ate here for the first time today and we will be regulars. The service is amazing and everyone there is so nice. You watch your food being prepared with love just as mi Abuelita would. I give this restaurant 100 stars!!
