I also ordered the nachos and everything tasted super fresh. Happy Hour prices were solid too flavored mojitos for $10 and plain for $8. Honestly, no complaints. Great drinks, great food, and even better service. Definitely coming back!

I visited Metate shortly after they opened (10/5/25), hoping to support a new local Mexican…read morerestaurant, but the experience was disappointing overall. Right away, there was confusion about a large 15% off sign clearly posted on their window. The waiter said the discount wasn't in effect, even though the signage was still up, and had to check with someone else before it was finally honored. Not a great first impression. The restaurant itself feels cold and unfinished, more like an office space than a place meant to enjoy a meal. The decor is lacking, and there are no curtains or window coverings, so people walking by can see you eating, which feels awkward and uncomfortable. It doesn't feel welcoming or thoughtfully designed. As for the food, it tasted fine, but that's where the positives end. There were no complimentary chips and salsa, which is standard at most Mexican restaurants. I ordered guacamole and it was overpriced, came with a very small portion of chips, and when I asked for more chips, I was told I'd have to pay extra. Portion sizes overall were extremely small for the prices being charged. The pricing feels more like Midtown Manhattan than the Bronx. I also noticed they have a sister restaurant in Riverdale, which is a more affluent part of the Bronx, and the pricing here clearly reflects that area -- not this lower-income section of the Bronx. It feels completely out of touch with the neighborhood. To make matters worse, the happy hour prices aren't cheap or appealing at all, and the regular menu drink prices are massively overpriced for what you're getting. Between the food portions, drink prices, and overall value, nothing here justifies the cost. There are many nearby Mexican restaurants offering better portions, better pricing, and a more comfortable atmosphere. I live close by, gave it one try, and have no plans to return.

I needed to pick up one medicine, but the pharmacy was closed, so I told my husband let's find a restaurant. While we were walking, we found this place. We walked in, we sat down at the bar, and we ordered two drinks. The drinks were excellent, the place is big, lots of tables and it was extremely clean. We didn't eat, that is why I am not rating the food. The service was great!! I will definitely come back!!

It took them more an hour which is unreasonable even if the Uber eats estimate was optimistic. I am looking at the tracking and the delivery person has been stuck in the same place for a long time and that timer keeps getting longer. Not ordering from them again. Also they are OVERPRICED Jist wanted to add that this was THEIR delivery, and not Uber Eats

He was so attentive and polite which made the experience so much better than our last visit. The Aguas Frescas were so delicious! I had the Hibiscus (Agua de Jamaica) and my husband had an Agua de Limón (lemon). 10/10 We were delighted to have complimentary fresh chips with salsa! Not many Mexican restaurants give Chips and salsa so that was nice to have. For lunch I had the Birria Tacos, which were a little on the dry side but the consomé definitely complemented the tacos. Just wish I would've gotten my tacos with cheese and I'm sure it would of made it a whole lot better. 4/5 My husband had the special, Costillas en Adobo and it was finger licking' good! It came with a small side of rice and beans and tortillas. Watch out though it can be on the spicy side! Definitely worth a try if you can handle some spice. 4/5 Will be back soon!

There was about a 10 minute wait, but it was well worth it! The corn tortillas were hand-made and you could definitely taste the difference between these fresh corn tortillas and the ones that are packaged. The place is small, so they have limited seating in the form of stools placed under counters around the perimeter of the inside of the restaurant. Lucky for me, it was not busy and I had the place to myself. Despite its small size, the decor is beautiful and the space is clean and uncluttered. I would definitely return again soon and try something else on the menu.

This spot has become one of those places I genuinely look forward to returning to again and again…read more Every visit feels easy and welcoming the moment you step inside. The team here knows how to make you feel taken care of without ever being overbearing--just warm, attentive hospitality that sets the tone for a great meal. The menu is full of dishes that feel thoughtfully prepared, and everything I've tried has been consistently flavorful. The lamb entrées are outstanding--tender, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly satisfying. Their steaks are just as impressive, cooked beautifully and full of rich flavor. It's the kind of food that makes you slow down and enjoy every bite.What really stands out, though, is the atmosphere. It strikes that perfect balance between relaxed and elevated, making it ideal for a cozy dinner, a laid-back evening with friends, or even a casual drink at the end of the day. There's a lot of intention in the details--lighting, décor, textures--which creates a space that feels both comfortable and polished without trying too hard. Every time I leave, I'm reminded why this has become a favorite. Great food, genuinely kind service, and an environment that makes you want to stay a little longer. Absolutely a place worth recommending, and one I'm always happy to return to. 5/5.
