I have been visiting the brand since they were up in Riverdale. I have purchased a few times from this location and I feel food quality is going down. 2nd time getting al pastor and they have no flavoring.. unless you doused the tacos in sauce. The birria taste a bit too greasy. Flat flavor and not much unffff as it was at first. As much as I like to support this business, it's gonna get me onto a fight with the misses cause of the last 2 times bland flavors for the only kind of taco she eats. Fix it. You can do this. read more

Food is exceptional, especially the mini tacos. Restaurant overall is great bang for your buck. Birria is pretty good as well. Much better quality Mexican food than restaurants near the water. read more

I order from their restaurant several times a week and can safely say it's a family favorite. The Al pastor tacos, cecina, shrimp and carne asada are amazing (I order them it's handmade tortillas). Their guacamole, pico de gallo and chips are Also a must order. My husband likes their steak chimichangas they are so tasty and very generous with portion size. read more

The tacos were good. The service is super fast. The issue I had was with my consommé it didn't have a deep rich flavor like it should. Birria tacos missed the mark. They were ok, but nothing I would reorder. The Al pastor were actually good and hot! They did not have pineapple and that's the best part. So metate please make sure all Al pastor tacos get pineapple. Is it really Al pastor without it? I will go again! read more

Please do not waste your time ordering here. I recently moved to Yonkers and have been on the hunt for a new taco spot. I order on Uber eats and when I reviewed my food, I have never been so disappointed in tacos before. The meat was flavorless and dry. They added a charge on my order for something the Uber said was included. When I called them, they said they wouldn't charge and remove it off my order. I was still charged and didn't even receive the item. I will never give this place my money again. FOOD- 2/10 SERVICE-1/10 read more

Came by here for a chicken burrito before going to work. It was not bad for the price. A simple, home style burrito filled lots of rice and beans, some chicken, a little lettuce and guacamole. The flavor was decent. It was packed really nicely and had salsas on the side. The staff inside the restaurant were friendly. read more

Metate - Chicken burrito - Mexican Near Me - Yonkers, New York

I love my tacos in this places . The place is pretty decent. I always orden the same food . I recommend it.

I'm surprised this place only gets 3.5 stars. Every time we have company over from the city, we always order the 20 taco platter. It is sooo good. Authentic and always gets rave reviews. read more

Great spot in the area. 1) Most of the items on the menu are good. 2) I enjoyed the steak with rice and beans. 3) I also got the birria tacos, not the best I had, but worth it. 4) Their large horchatas was Texas style large. read more

Omg the birria tacos and quesadilla from this place are so amazing omg so flavorful like it was made with so much love.

I always get veggie burritos from here. I've also had their tacos several times. The food always tastes great and the staff are friendly. I also like the artwork and pictures showcasing Mexican heritage. read more

This is just what I needed after an evening stroll along the Yonkers waterfront. Don't let the Getty Square location scare you away. They have online ordering which I utilized to cut down on the wait time. I had 4 tacos; al pastor, steak, carne enchilada and shrimp, simply dressed with onions and cilantro. They were very tasty on their own, and the reddish sauce on the side added a flavorful kick. The price was a little higher than what I expected, $17 for 4 tacos, but I was satisfied. I opted not to get a burrito because I read in multiple reviews that they're heavy on the rice, but that may be a better value for a dinner meal in the future. Will definitely return! read more

Got delivery today - quick delivery, fresh ingredients, delicious! Taco salad, sope and tostada all well prepared, great taste, will definitely order again! read more

The delivery was on time and the food was pretty good, but $1.00 for small order of guacamole. They should specify a really really really small order of guacamole, like two spoons of guacamole small. read more

I found this establishment when I was in the mood for take out and found them on Grubhub but of course, I had to double check with Yelp to make sure the reviews on Grubhub was consistent my go to for a straight and unbiased take on the dishes and past guests opinions. I ordered Sope with meat (Spicy Pork), Chicken Tacos and a Steak Burrito. No it wasn't all for me! lol I found all the dishes very good, great flavor and portions; with the exception of the Burrito - The ratio of rice to beans and meat was overwhelming. I would have preferred an equal amount of the 3. other than that, delivery was relatively quick and would definitely try them again. read more

This place by far has some of the best Mexican food in the area and there's quite a few to choose from, but this place was really on point for me. To start, there was the complimentary chips and salsa, I know it's just salsa but, it was fresh with a nice kick and the chips were freshly made. I ordered some tacos before my entree and they were absolutely phenomenal! They give you an option to have homemade tortillas for an additional charge instead of the commercial store bought ones and let me say, they were the best I've ever tasted. They really made a difference in the flavor. For my entree, I ordered the Molé Poblano. The flavor of their Molé was ridiculously good! The dish comes with rice and beans but, I opted only for the beans which had great flavor as well. And they also give you their homemade tortillas. And if you like spicy ... They make their own house made hot sauce which was NOT NORMAL!!! Overall, this place is bangin!!! A must try!!! read more

Fantastic Mexican food Very hospitable wait staff Lengua tacos are amazing. Calamari was fresh and flavorful Horchata was great just like moms Glam and cheesecake were tasty Enchiladas were fresh Overall fantastic experience read more

I read reviews and sometimes think, "that's just one person's opinion" however I'm writing this review because I wouldn't want anyone else to deal with something like this. I ordered $79 worth of tacos from this restaurant to be delivered, and when I received my order, I noticed that my shrimp tacos were incomplete. Everyone knows shrimp is more expensive than chicken or beef, so it was actually really irritating to know that I only had 2 SHRIMPS IN EACH TACO. This was disgraceful and unprofessional in my opinion. As I stated earlier, I am just one customer, but I would rather prevent future customers from encountering similar situations. read more

I wanted to love this place so much. But the food was awful! The order took half an hour to be ready. I've ordered a lengua burrito, and unfortunately it was just a small dry wrap with an old rice, and literally "sprinkled" a couple of pieces of lengua, a bit of beans, and a teaspoon of guac (I've asked for it) for $12.50. Seriously?! For a wrap with old rice?! The burrito costs $9.50. So I'm guessing LITERALLY a teaspoon of guacamole was $3. Very disappointed! I feel that most of those reviews are fake and misleading. Focus on the quality of food and not misleading marketing tactics, please! I work close by; and I'm never coming back there again! read more

I had seen it passing by, a little covert on N. Broadway. I was in the mood for real Mexican food, no fusion or Chipotle, even though I don't mind either! Called it in, ordered 2 burritos and a quesadilla. Pretty simple and standard. Their pictures showed a lot of sour cream on things and I made sure to ask for that off one burrito and on the side for the other. Got there, order was ready, Man was polite and there a good amount of customers there for lunch. Looked clean and smelled great. We came home and ate the burritos and they were VERY tasty and made to order. Quesadilla nice and cheesy with queso blanco. Super satisfied with the food and taste. I will go back to try more! It was $33 all together and I felt that was maybe a little pricey, that's the only reason I am giving it 4 stars. But definitely will be back! read more

I walked over today and ordered take out. They prepared the food quickly (about 15 minutes) and brought me some chips with a chipotle sauce as I waited. The food was great: Chicken enchiladas with red sauce and a side of rice & beans, huaraches with carnitas, and guacamole. Definitely ordering from here again! UPDATE 2/27/2018: We still come here often and everything is great. Tortas, tacos, steak platters, enchiladas, and even the rice and beans. You don't go wrong here. read more

I don't live too far from them. Delivery took 1:30hr to get to my house. It makes no sense. When I called the restaurant I was given excuses, and the host was not in the least apologetic. Oh, and food was ok. To owner: you need to realize you are in a high competitive area for restaurants of your cuisine. I will never try this again, and I do not recommend unfortunately. Update: Ordered again, 2 hours wait time for food. That never arrived!! Get it together or close your shop! read more

Awesome place, I came here since it first opened. The lady is very sweet and often recommends whats good for the day. Ive had many tacos, I think my favorites are el pastor, cecina, and lengua. Theres more items I need to try, Ill get there eventually. They recently introduced a $5 lunch special, which includes rice, beans, and an entree. Its quite good, and cheapest in the area. Overall, I like their food. Its chill there and its a good place to grab a quite bite or something to go. read more

Standard Mexican fare, nothing special. Placed an order for pick up. Waited 25m before going to pick up and waited an additional 45m in the store-- in their defense, I got there an ordered 3 additional tacos but does that really take 45m? They weren't particularly busy either. After the long wait, I left annoyed. Of course there were no napkins packed either. Bad experience. Mediocre food. Would not go back. read more

Tried to order from this restaurant, with uber eats total fail. Uber driver left with the food and did not deliver to us. Asked the restaurant if they would make the food for us again they said "no". I was shocked it was our first time and our last to order from this place. read more

Very fast delivery. Tacos were OK. For all the hype I've heard and great reviews I wouldn't say the food lives up to it. I was looking forward to the green sauce with my tacos but unfortunately both were super spicy and now I have dry tacos. read more

We ordered from Metate 2 via Seamless on Sunday night, despite poor reviews and many complaints about their delivery service being late or not showing at all. We waited about 30 minutes past the stated delivery window (1 hour) before calling to find out where the food was. The woman on the phone said she would check and call us back. We waited 10 minutes without a call back and finally called again. At this point, she stated the driver was 5 minutes away. So we waited another 20 minutes and when the driver didn't show, called again. This time, she said that they would have to "remake" our order and asked if we were willing to wait. Since we had already waited 2 hours and it was nearly 10pm, I told her to cancel the order and prepared to write a scathing review. However, a few minutes later I got a text apologizing and offering to refund our money and remake the order the following night and send it for free. Someone on Seamless had commented that this had happened to them, so I wasn't really counting on getting the food, but I played along and texted back that that would be fine, then texted again on Monday night to let them know I was home and that they could send the order any time. To my surprise, I received a text back saying "ok, enjoy," and about 40 minutes later the food showed up! We ordered a selection of tacos (chorizo, lengua and al pastor), a quesadilla and carne enchilada Mexicano, a spicy pork dish. The spicy pork didn't arrive - they sent a dry piece of grilled beef instead, which was not great (not sure which entree on the menu it was supposed to be, either). However, the tacos and quesadilla were all quite good. The quesadilla had a lot of grilled onions and peppers in it, which I wasn't expecting but did enjoy (husband would have preferred more cheese and less veg), and came with a small container of very good guacamole. Tacos were generously filled and the fillings were all tender and flavorful, but I would advise paying the upcharge for lettuce, tomato and crema, as they were a little dry without. They sent a couple of sauces (mild green and spicy red) that definitely helped. Anyway, the food was good enough that I would give them another shot, and I did really appreciate them making good on their promise to redeliver our food. I believe they are a fairly young restaurant so hopefully they will get their delivery issues worked out soon. There are a lot of good Mexican restaurants in Yonkers, so they will have to step it up to compete! read more

I wish I could not give them a star at all. The person who answered the phone was rude and outrageously disrespectful. I have been a long time customer and work in the Yonkers area for over 12 years. I had an issue about shortage in change (which btw, they didn't give a receipt) and when I tried to speak to someone about it, they didn't even allow my point across, instead was hung up on. I guess restaurants like these post-COVID don't want your hard-earned money... instead, they'll steal your change and say that you're lying... so why spend it here. Go elsewhere. You can get better quality and tastier tacos elsewhere. read more

This is one of my go-to restaurants in the area. I've been a loyal customer for years. The food is amazing and the servers are nice. Before the pandemic it was a beautiful spot to dine in. They would even give homemade chips & salsa. The Prices are a little bit more than others but it's worth it. They do have a bathroom that is clean which is a plus. read more

Not the greatest burrito I've had. I was expecting a much better experience. It took an hour and half and the food had no flavor

Authentic, amazing Mexican food. And the customer service is beyond amazing. I'm a teacher in the area and I stumbled upon this place and few weeks ago. Now....I'm addicted!! Clean restaurant. Delicious food! read more

reliable/affordable takeout and fresh/authentic mexican food are both extremely hard to find in westchester so i can't stress how excited my family and i were to find this gem. we've ordered the pork burrito, chicken enchiladas, guacamole with chips, and the steak chimichangas, all excellent, and the last one fairly life-changing. also, food is always delivered on time. with such a diverse menu of so many delicious and well-priced options, we'll be ordering from this place for a very long time. read more

I love this place! It was recommended by a coworker because i have established taco Tuesday, taco Thursday and fajita Friday's at any job I've worked in! I ordered from there once and haven't looked back since! Delicious food and the staff is super accommodating and friendly! There are good taco spots in Yonkers, but this place is so good and wonderfully seasoned that i don't even NEED the sauce they provide for you! read more

Really great customer service. The lady in front is so sweet, you just want to hug her. Not bad, I enjoyed the food a lot. The food is a good deal, because the portions are huge. Thought it was strange how they have deals if you get 3 of certain things like sopes, but no seals if you get 3 tacos. Also, why charge for lettuce, tomatoes, n cheese on the tacos? But that is an easy fix - maybe they will have changed that by the time you read this. read more

Had to review this cause first time i was here the food was so good, and perfect to my expectations. So i wanted to try them again because i was craving for some authentic enchiladas. But i was so disappointed :( . The food was nothing like i expected an enchilada to be for it to be a "Mexican" restaurant i would think they know how to make an enchilada. But the way it was presented was you had to make your own enchilada. rice and beans were separated, and the chicken was also separated but sooooooo greasy :(. They have pictures of the enchilada online but again like i said it looked nothing like the picture. Will i order from them again? why not i give them one more try. read more

I heard of this place from my mom and it's AMAZING! We did a delivery order of all tacos listed on the menu. Full of meat and a generous amount of salsa, onions and cilantro couldn't be better than the hand made tortillas which made it all complete. I have not found a decent tacos spot in the area and always seemed to travel to Chelsea Market in the city, I have now found something close. The tacos Pibil and Al Pastor were the ones that stood out to me. I can't wait to try out the rest of the menu. Overall I definitely recommend the tacos and do not hesitate to order out they'll have your food out quickly and hot to enjoy. #handmade #authentic read more
