Metate - BRONX

I live nearby and was here a dozen times or more. Ordered a delivery of 2 orders of beef Fajitas and had a margarita during waiting (approx. $60 all in). I asked for cheese for the Fajitas and was told that this would be $2:50 and needed 3 more tortillas (each order comes with three), that is about $5 more. I've paid extra and I've been discussing that I don't think it's good business. The food is fine to be the next Mexican restaurant. I understand there was / is pandemic, but if I spend $500 a year in the restaurant, I expect you to throw in the cheese and a few tortillas or you just don't appreciate my business. Okay, we'll go shopping somewhere else.

I and my date enjoyed the authentic Mexican flavors.

Great little gem. Definitely order the watermelon margarita. It's refreshing and delicious. They make their guacamole fresh. I ordered the burrito with steak. Every bite was flavorful. The place is small and gets packed. The service is great. Real authentic Mexican food. Looking forward to coming again real soon

The restaurant was packed. We got the last table close to the bar area. The food was absolutely delicious!!! I had a chicken burrito and my friend had the grilled salmon. The service wasn't the best but okay. The music was a bit loud for my liking but everyone around us seemed to enjoy it as people were moving in their seats. Overall a great dinner experience.

Meta review I had an unpleasant experience with this restaurant tonight. I went online (seamless) to see the menu and choose what I wanted. I decided to call and pick up the order to avoid delivery and other fees. I only took the food to find the order was not what I expected when I came home. Maybe I should have checked the order before I left the facility, but who does? Anyway, when I came home, I found an item was incomplete (missing a key ingredient) and the order of the tacos did not come with rice and beans that it clearly says on the seamless menu website that it accompanies the tacos. I call the restaurant to complain and the person says that tacos no longer come with rice and beans and they work on correcting the online menu. They offered to make the other article right and I could either pick up or they could deliver it. While I appreciate the offer to correct the article, I need to pick it up now or wait for an indefinite time to have it delivered. As you can imagine, I am not happy for the inconvenience and so I ask if he can contain rice and beans to make the mistakes, and he said no. On this note, I decided to return the food and get my money back. Not to mention, It was also quite expensive. $18 for three simple tacos. I understand that inflation affects prices and I appreciate the hard work that restaurants go through, but 6 dollars a taco is a bit much. Not even during this whole order, he apologised for the mistake and the trouble I've been through. The person I interacted with was also rude. I don't want to go back. Fridas tacos are much better (and affordable). Go there instead.
