El Metate Authentic Mexican Food OKC — Restaurant in Oklahoma City

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.

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...

We got the steak quesadilla and chimichanga and it was the perfect balance of cheesy and saucey - especially with the sides of beans, rice, guacamole and...

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...
