    $4 for small bag of chips and salsa
    Lynnelle E.

    I've been here a few times, the place itself is nothing fancy. They have a salsa bar and menu is reasonably priced. People that work here are nice. They have simple and decent dining area. This time around I ordered through doordash and the food was on point. Everything came the way it was ordered. 1. Super chicken burrito - flavorful and perfect balance of chicken, rice, and beans etc. 2. Super carnitas burrito - Did not disappoint. It was a nice meaty burrito. So much that I could only eat half. I'll save the rest for later. It was such a messy goodness. 3. Chips and salsa for $4 on doordash not worth it. IMHO. Overall, great experience. It got the spot.

    Such a yummy hole in the wall spot! Their selection is a good amount and I'm a sucker for their super tacos! They're also incredibly quick for a fast lunch. Their al pastor and carnitas super tacos never disappoint and they're so large! The amount of meat and other toppings they give is insane. I honestly could eat 1 super taco and I'd be set. I love how they include complimentary chips as well, I would definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking for a delicious and quick lunch.

    Los Metates is my favorite taqueria in Daly City. This "hole in the wall" business has been a staple of mine for many years due to its delicious tacos and burritos as well as great and friendly customer service. From the different selections of meat to the tasty ingredients they put in their food, I can definitely call this one of my favorite spots in Daly City.

    THEY TIPPED THEMSELVES $10. My total was $30 but my card was later changed $40 lol. THEY CHEATED ME. Street parking only and it's a very challenging area with lots of traffic so I'd recommend to park across the street, next to the Toyota dealer! Cashier didn't understand English very well so it took a lot of back and forth and confirmations to order 5 tacos. Service was great though; she was super friendly and tried her best. Price wise.. regular tacos are $4 and super tacos are $5.50. Super tacos were VERY generous in serving. And oily which made the tortillas super soggy. Fish tacos - Eh. Tasted everything in it except the fish. Shrimp tacos - Shrimps were seasoned well but very salty. Carnitas - Meat was seasoned well but a bit dry.

    Al pastor, Carne asada, and chorizo tacos

    I've had the tacos and burritos from here, and the al pastor tacos are my favorite! You can either call in your order or walk in. They have tables inside to eat. The guy who always helps me is super nice and gives me free chips and salsa. They take apple pay which is very convenient.

    Great place, parking a is a little tough since it is on a Main Street. I usually find it behind the nearby gym and walk over

    Super Veggie Burrito, Enchilada Style
    Ellen H.

    Once again Yelp knows what's up. After looking for yummy Mexican, we saw this place pop up and decided to give it a try. They offer a ton of solid options which resulted in a fun indecisiveness rollercoaster (burrito...no taco...no quesadilla) to eventually go with the super veggie burrito enchilada style. I loooove that they have enchilada style, it just makes a great thing even better. Their burritos are thick and ginormous and 100% satisfying. Also their chips and salsa are yummy in the tummy. Me and the boyfriend can't decide on which salsa was the best. I'm team red and he's team green. We're both right. Also it wasn't expensive. Also also their seating area was clean and larger than I expected first walking in. Staff was friendly. Think that covers everything.

    Super steak taco
    Ella A.

    5.2.2023 Found a new taco join that is delish! Definitely is a hole in wall. Surrounded by auto shops on a busy road, it's easy to miss it. Ample enough seating areas. Two man crew. One takes the order and the other starts cooking. Seems like a family owned restaurant, but not 100% sure. Very generous amount of meat and toppings. I love their carne asada and chicken taco. So much flavor and the pieces are perfect bite size. I love my meat with texture rather than having tiny minced meat. I also tried their fish taco. A huge piece grilled, but was quite underwhelming. Needed more seasoning. Otherwise, very juicy. Get ready to get down and dirty when getting the fish taco! I've tried both regular and super taco. Because their portions are so huge, I found the regular tacos more enjoyable. Didn't need all the cheese, guacamole and sour cream. Just a classic taco with meat, cilantro and onions, and salsa. Voila- Bon Appetit! 2 types of salsas and both have a kick in them. It's almost like crack sauce. The more you have, the more heat you'll feel. Love it! Can't wait for Taco Tuesday.

    Rock

    This place is a hit or miss. Today, we ordered 2 carne asada burritos. I found a rock in my burrito. Very disappointed.

    My super steak burrito but they forgot the sourcream guacamole salsa.
    Hanz P.

    This was my go to spot for years until about almost couple of years ago when the 2 guys the cashier and cooked were gone. Quality of food went really down. Tried to order my super steak burrito after that and it was a disappointment. Today thought i would give it another try and ordered a super steak burrito to go and the place was dead all by myself and when I got home and started eating my burrito I realize they gave me a regular steak burrito. There was zero sourcream zero guacamole zero salsa. Just the rice emat and beans thats was it. This is twice that happened and this is definitely my last time going there.

    Staff was super nice. We had a nice conversation while I waited for my burrito. They recommended Al pastor, it was pretty good. I loved their rice though. There is no parking and it's on a busy street. There is a parking lot for other businesses near by but most spots had plaques reserving them for their specific business. Was nervous to park there.

    My $12 chicken burrito! This thing was fat and heavy!
    Lynne E.

    Do yourself a favor, if you're a native of Daly City and haven't tried Los Metates, please make sure you do! Not only are the burritos fat but they're so delicious! I love getting their grilled chicken super burrito and their salsa verde is always on point. Service is great, parking not so much but it's well worth it!

The birria tacos came with 3 regular sized tacos and honestly each one is pretty dense with meat and cheese. The consome also had some meat although, I think it was beef and not goat. Everything was tender but the flavor was just ok for me. My mom wanted a carnitas super burrito and this was pretty good. Lots of meat and some bits were crispy just how I like it. I wouldn't mind getting it again but I do want to try their al pastor next time. Their fish plate was pretty good as well. Loved the crispness of the fish and it didn't feel greasy or heavy. It came with avocados, rice, beans, lettuce and 4 flour tortillas. I wouldn't mind getting this again. A basket of chips came for each person as soon as we sat down and there was a healthy selection of salsa. I didn't care for the chips itself as they were too salty for me. The ambiance is very festive and there were plenty of people coming in and out. We dined in and found myself wishing they gave real silverware rather than plastic. We were only give one real fork for the fish and it was difficult to break apart. Their plastic cutlery was also pretty flimsy so we mostly ate with our hands. Overall, I'd still come back and try other dishes.

The food looked delicious, eye candy. Parking is limited. It's a small place, but big enough to come in with a fairly large group. We walked in and sat down. I noticed a huge counter with a big television screen playing music videos of Latin music, jamming. There were a couple of tables and cultural decor. It was clean and inviting. The server greeted us and brought us chips and salsa verde. The salsa verde was to my liking, perfect amount of spicy. The server came back and took our orders: - Caldo de res (my order), came with rice, tortillas, and cilantro with onions - Grilled chicken tacos - Chicken quesadilla My caldo res was tasty and so good. I love the flavor of the broth. Big portion for me. I finished it though lol. I tasted hubby's tacos and quesadilla, also yummy. I love that they grilled the chicken, gives the flavor more depth.

The shrimp cocktail had a lot of shrimp, avocado, and cucumber which was delicious. But the actual cocktail juice was light in flavor. Because we took it to go I was able to doctor it up with some extra cocktail sauce, horseradish, hot sauce and lemon. I also loved that they serve saltines with their shrimp cocktail because some places just give chips. The fried fish was delicious and unfortunately I wasn't able to try the aguachilles before they ran out which might mean they were good.

The sour chopped pineapple pieces went well with the red sauce. This came with some saltine crackers. Generally, saltine crackers come with soup. This also came with two crispy tortillas.

It was a nice surprise to find bacon at a taqueria. Service was good for an order at the cashier type of restaurant. Their other location by SF State University has good taco salads.

There are also 2 other items there such as pickled red onions and pickled/lime cucumbers, Serrano or jalapeños and red onions. Yum! Michelada came in a frosty AF mug which is reason in and of itself to come by. So good.
