Barbacia

I worry about sharing one of our family favorites, but the owner is a great guy, and we wish him nothing but the best of successes! Los Metates Taqueria is one of those places where you can tell the people behind it actually care. Everyone here is attentive and welcoming, and you get the sense right away that they truly value their guests. It has that comfortable neighborhood feel where you can just come in, sit down, and enjoy a good meal, seeing the same, smiling faces. The food has been excellent every time we've come in. We honestly haven't tried anything yet that wasn't great. The owner is a really good guy who is clearly working hard to build a place where people can come in and enjoy great, honest food. That kind of effort shows. On the weekends they serve menudo, which is always a good sign when you're looking for a solid taqueria. Their barbacoa tacos are some of the best I've had -- tender, flavorful, and piled generously onto warm tortillas. he crispy tacos are also excellent, perfectly crunchy on the outside with well-seasoned filling inside -- the kind where you take a bite and immediately understand why people keep coming back. My twins have tried several of their other dishes, as well, and haven't been disappointed with anything they've gotten at lunch or dinner. If you're looking for a great local spot with good food and genuinely kind people, Los Metates Taqueria is absolutely worth stopping into.

Asada Sope - flavorful with quality fresh ingredients

Nice little family owned place in the outskirts of Austin. Nice people - Abel to good care of us and was very pleasant. The food was solid and quite flavorful. We tried barbacoa tacos, crispy beef tacos, asada sope and enchiladas verdes, all tasty and made with quality ingredients. Nothing fancy here but simple good fare. Recommended if you are in the area.

Stopped by on a Sat afternoon. Food arrived quickly…read more We ordered the sausage, pork buns and the sticky rice. The sausage was the standout. It was very flavorful and came on a big bed of rice. The pork buns were a bit dry and likely needed some kind of sauce but still tasty. The sticky rice was a generous portion but is a bit too spicy for me but I'm sure ppl that enjoy spicy food would like it. The food truck is next to the Vacancy brewing. Their Jet Lag Lager is fabulous. It's worth a visit.

I spend a lot of time around St. Elmo. I frequent a lot of the places in The Yard like Spokesman…read moreCoffee, St. Elmo Brewing, and all the food trucks throughout. Until this year, I never noticed right across the street was Vacancy Brewing and the SXSE Food Co food truck. I took advantage of an Austin Asian Restaurant Passport that benefited a local charity, while also promoting local Asian restaurants. SXSE Food Co was one of the participating restaurants, and I wanted to take the opportunity to try Laotian food. The food was solid, with the flavorful sweet and savory balance similar to Thai and Vietnamese food. The skewers were solid but the crispy fried rice was my favorite dish. It had amazing texture with the crispiness and chewy nature of the sticky rice. There's also freshness from the herbs. The dish overall reminded me of the savory sticky rice with Chinese sausage we make in Cantonese cuisine, and the nostalgia made me love it that much more.
