One of the absolute best authentic Mexican restaurants in East Tennessee. Small and comfortable. It gets busy and it runs... smoothly all the time. Great staff, all around it's awesome. Read more

Food was great, the waitress forgot part of our order, but was full with what we got and wasn't charged for anything extra so it... was alright. Read more

Disappointing, use to be our favorite place for Mexican food but something has definitely changed since our last visit. My... favorite dish, nachos carne asada, was the same price but the portion was smaller. My husband ordered 2 a la crate burritos (they mistakenly brought and charged us for 3 ). The were the usual size as he had always gotten; however, after they weredelivered to the table, a different waitress came over to deliver a message. She wanted to let us know that the burritos theybrought were not the size of the normal a la carte burritos and that cook had made a mistake, but they were gonna ?leave it likethat?. We paid 2.75 for a coke and another 2.75 for a refill. When we went to pay the bill the waitress couldn?t get my card torun, she was so rough with it I thought she was going to brake it. After few attempts she smugly turned to me and said, ?Youdon?t have another card?? Sadly, that?ll be our last trip there. Read more

After reading positive reviews about El Metate the family and I decided to go there for dinner tonight. To begin with we waited... for quite a while on our food and then only half the food was brought out. I was halfway done before my father even received hismeal. I ordered the nachos Pastor which were supposed to contain marinated pork and pineapples and sour cream. What I got was aplate of very mediocre nacho chips, what I guess was pork because it was so over cooked I?m not sure and I believe I countedthree pieces of pineapple and what appeared to be some very watery sour cream. When trying a new Mexican restaurant I?ll alwaysget nachos because that?s what I like to make my judgment on. These were not good. If a Mexican restaurant cannot handle nachosthen I have very little hope for the rest of the menu. My mother my father and my nephew none like their meals for variousreasons. I would not go back and I can not in good faith recommend it Read more
