    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    camarones al mojo de ajo
    Rebecca B.

    Their camarones al mojo de ajo is soo delicious! I love wrapping them in tortillas and make a multitude of tacos. Then I dunk them back into its flavorful sauce. When eating be sure to request, salsa picanta, chili verde, and pico de gallo. They also have jalapeños if you ask. Their tacos are decent too!

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.

I'm from LA, so when it comes to street tacos, I know what's up. $5.99 for a regular street taco?? And $7.99 for lengua?? Be serious. That's gourmet pricing without gourmet quality. Especially after seeing their old menu prices went from $2.99 to $3.50 to $3.99... and now suddenly almost $6? That price evolution is wild. Respect to the man cooking, he was actually very nice. But kindness alone doesn't justify those prices. The quality just didn't match what they're charging. Inflation is real, but so is value. And this wasn't it.

I also loved that they serve saltines with their shrimp cocktail because some places just give chips.
